Ferocity is nigh: Ancient Methods and Phase Fatale play back to back at BASEMENT. Both are unrivaled paragons of eviscerating, industrial-tinged EBM/techno. Ancient Methods’ journey from seething loop techno to gritty, stomping assaults has been remarkable at every stage; the constant throughline is an emphasis on sculpted noise. Brutalist sonic constructions land with the weight of concrete and the downcast moodiness of black metal. Phase Fatale has mastered the unruly and deviant. On this year’s “Love In Destructive,” he imbues the chains-and-leather sonics of his previous works with a sleek, ravey undercurrent. It works incredibly well, guiding dancers to the dark heart of the night. Another b2b sets their sights on complete carnage: Name Names is the singular meetup of Juana and Ne/Re/A. These are two artists who are unmissable to anyone participating in NY’s thriving, queer-led techno underground. Both are fearless selectors and absolutely captivating talents, with CV’s that have seen them moving through similar circles for years. You’ve been warned. JADALAREIGN represents lineages of Black music with a power and focus that approaches the spiritual. The NY talent has been a major force in NY in recent years, both as an artist and booker at Nowadays. In every regard, JADALAREIGN is shaping culture and defining her own terms. Her sets bloom with unmediated expressive power. Jorkes makes the trip over from Germany for their STUDIO debut. The Freeride Millenium co-founder lets it rip with bright, bouncy and fun-loving tunes. Whether in their DJ sets or on original productions like “Follow Me To The Toilet,” Jorkes delivers proper exuberant glee. NY’s Cosmo rounds it with some serious soul. She brings it home every time, imbuing the dancefloor with a rich, transportive glow.
