sub-merge presents POLYPHONIC
First Fridays @ CHAC Lower Level
Friday November 3rd:
Mr. Leisure [Live] Genericide/U-Freqs
Before there was tech-house, minimal house, tribal house, deep house, acid house, micro-house, or electro-house, there was only house music. Dirty, sexy, psychedelic house music that brought people together and engaged their brains, bodies and hearts in equal measure. Mister Leisure (Seattle's Matt Corwine) believes that categories belong in the library, not on the dancefloor. It's time to put all those fragmented subgenres back together, and his energetic live performances do just that. Drawing from a discography that spans nearly fifteen years and crosses all genre boundaries, his sets are of that rare breed that brings cerebral techno heads and deep soul warriors together in one big, sweaty room.
Justin Byrnes [Live] Simply Shameless/
Lab-77
Justin Byrnes has been steadily building his reputation as a live laptop artist since his first time competing, and making it to the final four, in the 2005 Seattle Laptop Battle. His influences include producers Ricardo Villalobos, Pete Moss, Michael Mayer and Dub Taylor as well as labels like Ghostly, Playhouse, Perlon, and Kompakt. He has since gone on to play at numerous Northwest events, including Decibel Festival '05 and '06, opening for Pan/tone, and opening for the legendary Freaky Chakra.
