*****featuring two areas of music*****
minimal techno in the Warehouse Area
Daniel Mnookin (Proton Radio, Chicago)
Daniel’s music experience began well over a decade ago, teaching himself guitar and going on to play in a variety of alternative rock bands throughout high school and part of college. It wasn’t until 1999 that he would develop an appreciation and love for all forms of electronic music.
Upon returning to school at The University of Wisconsin-Madison, Daniel immediately began fidgeting with various electronic equipment ranging from drum machines and sequencers to samplers and synthesizers. He then came up with the alias 'the ith residual' and started playing out as a Live P.A. act.
"Playing live was always fun, but I found it hard to get booked in big cities as no one had the room or the willingness to accommodate an up and coming live act," says Daniel, "so I eventually decided it was time to go out and purchase a pair of decks and a mixer."
Since catching the DJ bug, Daniel has gone on to play around Chicago on a regular basis. He has also played outside of his hometown in cities as remote as Columbia, Missouri, to the glitz and glamour of Miami, Florida – not to mention his international debut in Mexico this past fall as well as spinning in Aruba on New Year’s Eve. He made his European debut this past spring, with gigs in Frankfurt, Germany and Paris, France. 2003 found Daniel netting nearly 50 non-residency gigs, as well as playing alongside such top notch DJ’s as Danny Howells, Nick Warren, DJ Garth, Mazi, and Green Velvet (just to name a few)…
Daniel is also among an elite group of DJ’s doing a show for the rapidly growing internet-based Proton Radio (www.protonradio.com). His monthly show, entitled “Tic Tech Toe”, runs from 4-6pm EST on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. It features mixes by both Daniel as well as guest DJ’s and live acts, past guests including Arc Resident Dennis Rodgers, Bedrock’s Gregory Shiff, San Diego live act Nominal, and Big Chief’s Marky Star.
Outside of DJing, Daniel keeps busy writing for various publications ranging from UR Chicago (www.urchicago.com) and Gravity Magazine (http://gravity.colum.edu) to Resident Advisor in Australia (www.residentadvisor.net).
Ejival (Static Discos, Static Radio, Tijuana)
Ever since we had Murcof play last year at mental, we knew there were great things happening in the world of minimal techno coming from Tijuana. Static Radio airs in the Tijuana - San Diego area every Tuesday from 8pm to 10 pm (PST) on 102.5FM Estereo Frontera. *Static Radio is the only electronic music radio program in the area and is hosted by Ejival and Robert Proco (http://www.staticradio.org/). *The program is retransmited every Monday 7pm-9pm through our friends from Radio Global. Ejival helped organize last years MUTEK@MEXICO (http://www.radioglobal.org/mutek/) events in TJ, Mexico City, and Guadalajara. We're happy to have Ejival and the Static Discos label(http://www.staticdiscos.com) on board with us for this event.
Nominal (OCNLNR, LIVE PA)
What can we say, we're back. This time bigger and better in a freaking warehouse! We'll be playing a minimal/acid type set which will include all of our best material from the 5 CD's we've released this year. In addition we will have a huge video installation in the warehouse. We'll continue to bring you the most interesting and new sounds we can find locally and globally. We'll try to bring a good mixture of live acts and DJ's from the minimal/tech/evil techno genres for as long as we can sustain... thanks to all who help support techno in San Diego!

Soulphonic Soundsystem (transistor lounge, LA/DC) aka
DJ SANTO (Decks) & CHAUNCEY CANFIELD (Loops and Samples) (Soulphonic Soundsystem, LA/DC)
This bi-coastal production duo has been mixing up jazzy downtempo grooves and broken afro bossa rhythms at their respective weekly residencies at The Transistor Lounge and Gazuza for the past 3 years. They've also established the world-renowned internet radio sites www.transistorradio.com and www.groovepalace.com. DJ Santo has held down residencies at Soul Bossa, Sunday Service, & The Standard Hotel in addition to the Transistor Lounge, and has DJ'ed alongside artists such as Truby Trio, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Funky Lowlives, Boozoo Bajou, Cuica, The Thievery Corporation, Nicola Conte, Thunderball, Desmond Williams, St. Germain, Bostich, dZihan & Kamien, and Fila Brazillia amongst others.
On the other coast, every Monday finds Chauncey or one of Aubergine 3 compadres at Gazuza in Washington, DC where he spins an eclectic mix, supplemented by his own live improvised beats, keyboards and laptop. When the two perform together as Soulphonic Soundsystem, their hybrid live/DJ/laptop/keyboards on-the-fly remixing takes things to another level, as evidenced on their 2004 5-city West Coast Tour.
They've been spotted on the decks in venues such as NYC's APT, DC's Eighteenth Street Lounge, and LA hotspots like the Ivar, The Henry Fonda Theater, The Arsenal, MOCA, and many others.
Their DJ talents and parties have been recognized by the LA Times, LA Weekly, LA City Beat, LA Alternative Press, LA Magazine, Meanstreet, and several other publications.
Most recently the duo has produced the original track "Sonido" and a remix for George Sarah's "1920" and their forthcoming 12", "Catalina Sunset" has been packing the dancefloors as a dubplate.
