Kaleidoscope: Rex Sepulveda, Antwon Faulkner, Marivs

The Bridge is an ALL TECHNO, ALL VINYL event series. Its purpose is to preserve the art of mixing real records, maintaining a cultural connection between major North American cities, and beyond. The artists for this edition are: Rex Sepulveda (Detroit) Rex Sepulveda hails from Detroit and is one of D-Records' original producers. His long tenure in the Detroit Electronic Music scene has enabled him to develop a consistent ability to capture the subtle elements of music being produced globally and implement them into a sound that is distinctly Detroit while at the same time having an evolutionary sound. In 1996 Rex started tracks for a label called "Development" - which was at that time a sub-label of Rich Hawtin's Minus label dedicated to new and upcoming producers in the Detroit area. Hawtin had devoted a studio space for the artists to come and record tracks, and out of these sessions came the two development compilations in 1997. In 1998, Lenny Bartush, Rich Hawtin, Tom Newman, Clark Warner and Rex formed what is now known as D Records. Rex has released 5 intense cuts on D Records, with two remixes of Fred Giannelli's track on D 11. Rex has also remixed a classic Plus 8 track the Wipe and a Beira track on Flumo recordings. https://soundcloud.com/rex-sepulveda Antwon Faulkner (Hijacked Records Detroit | Toronto) Antwon Faulkner has been in the game for nearly three decades now. Born and raised in Detroit, Antwon started hustling mixed tapes at the age of sixteen. With music in his blood, this is truly what he was born to do. Antwon is straight up techno and prides himself on being current and remaining relevant. You can rest assured you will always hear the new hot tracks as well as your Detroit classics, which include his own productions peppered throughout his killer DJ sets. Now here is what you won’t see: no software and no laptop. Antwon is currently on a “Bring Back the DJ” crusade. While technology provides us with amazing advances, this is Antwon’s answer to an oversaturated market of “DJs” that haven’t learned the fundamentals of beat matching or don’t have a distinct “sound” based on their own sense and use of timing. Two turntables and a mixer and a whole lot of funk! https://soundcloud.com/antwonfaulknerdjtwonz Marivs (TTR, Resource, Blast | Toronto) Perfectionist and purist, Marivs has been gaining esteem for his meticulous mixing and for the delicate, driving hypnosis he puts people under from behind the decks. Marivs began DJing before the days of social media and has a deep respect for authentic underground culture. His vision is to expose his audience to the true values of techno. https://soundcloud.com/marivsmvsic Advance tickets: $25 Or buy a package deal: $35 for 2 events $50 for 3 events
