BOUND BLACKOUT: SALOME / Katie Rex / VILE / DJ Minx / Manu Miran / DJ Miss Parker

FETISH ATTIRE MANDATORY On Halloween weekend, Salome returns to BASEMENT to headline BOUND. The Herrensauna resident is one of the nastiest voices hybridizing electro and techno - sister genres whose roots are irrevocably intertwined. 2024’s “Hacker” EP on Herrensauna’s burgeoning label taps into a seething, euphoric paranoia. “You hacked my mind” intones an impassive voice over a twisting bassline. “You destroyed my mind.” We could say the same of Salome. Katie Rex steps up. The BOUND founder has had quite a journey from subterranean technoid mutations to the ferocious, unrelenting hardgroove and feverish psychedelia of her current sets. Rex is a force to be reckoned with, an artist and organizer who pursues her visions with utter determination and fearless commitment. Vile is back for their second round at BOUND. On releases like last year’s “Synchronous,” Vile draws the listener into the shadows, with deep hues and moody tempos weaving a mesmerizing spell. The First Lady of Wax is back. DJ Minx has become a favorite in STUDIO over the last couple years. A native of Detroit, the city’s foundation history has indelibly shaped Minx’s decades of creative expression. Her music embodies the core depth that defines all Detroit house - a track like “Do It All Night,” released on Carl Craig’s Planet E, bubbles with effervescent sparkle but nonetheless is anchored by a weight and profundity that cannot be faked. Manu Miran continues his run in STUDIO. The Visceral founder has made his mark on NYC and beyond, serving up a pure, sweat-soaked physicality and an unrepentant lusty abandon. DJ Miss Parker raises the stakes. A true wildcard, her sets come rushing out the gates, pushing house music to euphoric, kaleidoscopic heights.
