EXILE returns to Bossa for another late-night transmission of raw electronics and body-moving frequencies, featuring a heavyweight trio of selectors. // Lauren Flax [2MR / The Bunker NY] Detroit-born and NYC-based, Lauren Flax is a lifer in the underground—known for emotionally-charged sets that blur the lines between rave euphoria and machine funk precision. Her recent blazing electro set at Zero Chill turned heads and reaffirmed what heads have known for years: Flax brings intensity, depth, and a deeply physical approach to the booth. With releases on 2MR, The Bunker NY, and Unknown to the Unknown, she’s a producer and DJ who pushes sound forward while keeping it rooted in feeling. // CONFLICT BUREAU Hailing from the birthplace of the true house sound, CHICAGO USA, seeks to embody the writhing and mutated mass that has become of underground “house”. a disciple to the sound referred to as jakbeat, an obsessive in regards to the sounds of the Hauge and all manners of subterranean Sonic’s fueled by the simple concept that HOUSE and its kin is THE sound! Born and raised a punk on the northeast coast of the us, transplanted to Chicago in the mid 2010s to find home and solace in the dark and small and gritty clubs and music spaces that once littered the scapes of the city. With an upbringing in raw genres of punk and industrial, the lean into stripped down, unadulterated drum machine music was a no brainer. And through access to the disk jocks whose prowess of the decks keep the spirit of jak alive, an obsession grew and has spilled out into the producer, dj, visual curator, deck thrasher that is CONFLICT BUREAU.
