Demdike Stare -

After a successful 2008 event at inciting hq [w/Andy Stott and Claro Intelecto], our good friend Miles Whittaker, aka MLZ, aka 1/2 of Pendle Coven, returns to Philadelphia with his partner in the dark arts, Sean Canty.

This will be one of only a handful of North American shows kicking off at Mutek and we urge you to make it a priority to get to SINErgy for this midnight set, lest ye be filled with the deepest regret.

Here's what Boomkat had to say about the most recent Demdike Stare 12", Forest of Evil:

"First in a series of three albums to be released from Demdike Stare this year - taking in broken sound experiments, unfurled dub and haunted strings... Lancashire's sons of occult darkness push off into the night with the first in a triptych of spellbinding vinyl-only LP's. 'Forest Of Evil' is a direct elevation and expansion of the ideas expressed on the debut album, 'Symbiosis', literally breaking down multiple elements to run as two extended pices - one on each side, giving more scope to suck us into an abyssal vortex of inky blackness without interruption. The sides are themed as 'Dusk' and 'Dawn', entry and exit points for a trip where owt can happen in between. On the palindromic 'Dusk' tentative strings with one eye on Alice Coltrane imbue an astral sense of wonderment before plunging us head first into the cold water of elliptical percussion. With lungs and ears flooded we're churned in a current of Shackleton-esque percussion at the bottom of a tarn, high in the hills before returning to the coruscating strings on the surface. With 'Dawn' a battery of warlocks forge a martial tattoo, like Regis sent to the dark ages to live out his fantasies with a medieval drum circle. And then, out of nowhere, an ominous veil of layered strings emerges out of nothing to sweep us away with vintage elements and ghostly traces of sound last heard on the sublime last album from the Caretaker as quivering subbass tremors threaten to open the ground beneath the turntable. Approach this when under the influence of magic potions for maximum rewards... Very Highly recommended.

PLUS a 2-hour all vinyl MLZ set from 2-4.

Reticular Activating System [11pm-12am] -

Greg Zifcak of Eats Tapes is doing a brief east coast tour following a residency with Nate Boyce at the experimental television center.
Greg is in the midst of earning his MFA at Mills College, where he's developing an analog video performance instrument that he will be touring with. Eats Tapes was the headliner of the first inciting event back in 2006 as well the 1-year anniversary in 2007, and we're excited to welcome Greg back to Philly for the kind of performance we know you're beginning to expect at SINErgy.

And...
Accidentally traverses a universe of sounds and genres from 8-10, Pandemix plays a live set with live electronic drums and radio frequencies from 10-11, Rx smooths you over with rolling dubstep beauty from 1-2, and Attentat keeps you moving from 4-6 with murky basslines and moody syths.

Thanks and Love. See you soon!
