Mnml: Techno - Drum & Bass

Techno, drum & bass and experimental electronics take over Churchill’s Pub for a late-night program spanning minimal, Detroit, hypnotic and harder-edged club sounds. The Thursday, September 10 edition of MNML: Techno - Drum & Bass features Rick Fantasies, Vulgent, MGM Aquatics, Relax Rafa, Lost Lord and longtime Miami noise figure Rat Bastard, with live sets from Vulgent, MGM Aquatics and Relax Rafa.

Rick Fantasies is part of Miami experimental dance duo Audrey Horny, a project that has performed at III Points and shared bills with artists including Thurston Moore. Vulgent and Relax Rafa have also appeared in Churchill’s experimental electronic series Dirty Circuit Life, placing them within the venue’s current modular, synth and noise-oriented programming.

Rat Bastard, the performing name of Frank Falestra, provides a direct link to an earlier generation of Miami’s underground. A musician, producer and founder of the International Noise Conference, he has been closely associated with Churchill’s since the 1980s, where his Thursday-night performances helped establish the venue as a home for experimental and noise music.
