The Bunker Podcast

artist statement from Tristan Arp: I'm grateful for the adventure of producing this Bunker mix––a collage of polyrhythmic explorations from around the world that point to the pursuit of all rhythms slinky, freaked-out, and asymmetrical. I wanted to sculpt these selections into new forms by carving and collaging heavily, so you’ll hear up to four channels playing at the time. The hidden potential i...

Eric Cloutier shares the inspiration for this mix: "It's impossible to fully describe the importance of Theorem in my life. Upon first hearing the “Nano” album I was immediately sold on his sound.

Fast forward to the “Mantra One” EP, and...

The Bunker Podcast was started back in 2007 when barely any electronic music podcasts existed if you can imagine such a thing.

In the early days, the podcast was made up entirely of sets recorded at The Bunker parti...
