blk market membership resolute vs 0slo monkey maffia-federico molinari

Clear your daytime schedule and nick your calendars for Saturday, April 24th. To kick off the spring and honor the upcoming sunshine, Blkmarket and ReSolute present Monkey Mafia of the Wighnomy Brothers who will be playing an extended set alongside Federico Molinari (Oslo Records), Vera (Oslo Records), Maher Daniel (Souvenir Plus), and of course, Taimur & Fahad (Blkmarket). Here to represent ½ of the Wighnomy Brothers act, Sören Bodner aka Monkey Maffia of East Germany, will deliver an eclectic symphony of synth-heavy techno complemented by overtones of deep-house. You can expect Germany’s Federico Molinari to bring a fun, kick-snare based tech-house, often supplemented by excursions of rhythmic percussion. Often collaborating with Molinari, Vera of Heidelberg, Germany, has made a global mark as a DJ and producer on the electronic music scene, putting forward exquisite nuances that skate the line between deep house and techno. Canada’s Maher Daniel will come bearing an edgy, bass-heavy yet melodic style to Blkmarket, and with his youthful energy, he’ll undoubtedly kick the party off right with his opening set. A great event lies ahead, so be sure to catch it.

This past Saturday Blkmarket hosted a Mobilee records showcase featuring founder Anja Schneider along with signed artists Sebo K and Pan Pot. The first collaboration between Blkmarket and Mobilee records resulted in an amazing party doused in phenomenal music.

In the classical sense, a cadenza occurs when an orchestra stops playing in order to allow a soloist to freely express themselves. Lost is any sense of structured timing. It’s quite simply put, just them and the music. Blkmkt’s recent showcase of Cadenza recording artists was a prime example of how music is in many aspects, the freest form of expression in existence.

After recently taking the party above ground to NY’s club scene, Taimur and Fahad brought it back below sea level, setting up shop at an undisclosed location in Sunset Park. With sets by local Minimoo artist Memek and Cadenza maestros Serafin, Robert Dietz and Reboot, this event was a prime example of free form expression to the fullest.

Last week our good friends over at Blkmarket Membership had a little affair in downtown’s club cave Love. The special night was kicked off by Blkmarket residents Taimuar & Fahad. As usual the duo touched the crowed. The collaboration between Dandy Jack & Sonja Moonear was absolutely amazing. Love’s amazing sound system had trouble supporting the bass thumping tracks these two were playing. Check out the images after the post.
