Launched in Detroit in 1995 by BMG and Erika, the IT team has become known for their signature label that pushes brain-twisting techno, classic electro and experimental music across time and space by way of the Motor City. In recent years, they’ve also developed a following of diehards for their ‘No Way Back’ parties. These intimate, audio/visual assaults on the senses have become one of the annual must-attend afterparties of Detroit’s Movement Festival.
Join us at Out of Order as they bring their sound to Pittsburgh for the first time.

The fifth installment of your monthly disorderly throwdown is a focus on the otherworldly sounds of Bleepsequence. Founded and managed by Humanaut’s own Revy, the netlabel serves as an oasis in the abyss of digital debris, providing its listeners with unique open minded techno and experimental media at no cost. To celebrate two years and twenty releases of bleepy brain bending fun, we’ve lined up a set from recent blpsq inductee and all around ultrawizard Relative Q, an elusive live pa from Revy himself, and the mind warping beats of Alex Falk.

ALEX FALK [PILTDOWN SOUND] (Knoxville, TN)
[Proper Trax, Bleepsequence, Woods N Bass]
————————–
Alex’s DJ selections and original productions are as inspired by stark, warehouse oriented techno and industrial music as they are influenced by the psychedelic sounds of full moon gatherings and outdoor festivals. An electronic music adherent and experimenter since childhood, Falk has applied his outer space aesthetic to a variety of projects, organizing regional events and travelling across North America to DJ and perform live. Now collaborating with longtime friend Joel Cox as ‘Piltdown Sound’, their recent crop of hypnotic & loop-driven techno productions have already recieved support from a variety of well known DJ/producers including Norman Nodge, Adam Jay, Seph, Mekas, Deepchild, Truncate, Samuli Kemppi, Dubfire, Pig & Dan, DJ Psycho, Anderson Noise, and Paco Osuna. 2011′s busy release schedule featured digital and 12″ releases on Proper Trax, Landed Productions, Release Musiq, and SubSensory Recordings which precede projects slated for 2012 release on Bleepsequence, Woods N Bass, Herbst Und Musik and Nude Photo Music.

For month four, we shift gears as Humanaut hands the keys over to one of the most respected music men in Pittsburgh: CUTUPS (AKA Geoff Maddock). Over the years, Geoff has worked tirelessly to bring a huge variety of cutting-edge music through this city. Join us as he highlights some of the best artists from the region in another round of Belvedere’s dance floor punishment.

FROM CUTUPS:
“When Humanaut crew asked me to plan an instance of their new but already smashing Out of Order night, I jumped at the chance. They always bring a high production value to their shows and have commanded alot of respect among the informed dance music crowd in pittsburgh. It was fun to put together a lineup that would rep my own tastes, but also be a hit at a Humanaut party.
Jason Burns immediately came to mind as somebody I’d like to play this night. He’s one of Cleveland’s originals in the dubstep scene, both as a dj for regular nights and one offs, a producer who’s been getting play all over (“Back 2 You” was one of XLR8Rs top 100 Downloads of 2011), and co-promoter bringing in top acts in the genre for more than a few years. His style leans heavily to the deeper, soulful end of the spectrum, but he doesn’t really limit himself to one style or mood, other than just playing top notch tunes.
Vasculator is a long time fan, electronic hardware geek, and producer of techno and left field electronic music, but has existed mostly on the fringes of pittsburgh’s scene. He’s been a collaborator with the Technoir Audio crew doing live techno, toured doing modular synth work with
industrial act Prometheus Burning, and played blistering original breakcore live sets in Detroit and the west coast. This time he’s doing and all new stripped down techno live set that combines his digital and analog gear.
I was looking for one more guest to round out the night, when I remembered that Jose “Mr. Hamilton” was looking to put together a classic IDM set. You may know him from his live sets as Mr. Hamilton or as part of Ekofield, or his deep house sets at various spots around town, but he’s also a big fan of left field electronic music and will be opening up with a set of 90s/ early 2000′s selections.

Lineup:

Ryan Walsh has been deejaying and making music for over 14 years. He has deejayed vinyl under the name rw for 8 years, and retired that name in 2007 to focus on hybrid dj/live performances and original work under the name local. He’s played across the US and in a lot of differing situations under this moniker — basements to big rooms. His music varies from film-score downtempo to dub to house and straight onto proper drum techno.
This mix was recorded at Pittsburgh’s Z Lounge in one take using Ableton Live, an Akai APC40, and a M-Audio Axiom 25 controller. No post editing or mixing was done, with the exception of shortening of the set to fit time constraints.
Ryan’s career in music has also incorporated a significant amount of event production. He got his chops in the 90s, producing major light, laser, and sound installations for warehouse events. He was co-producer of the legendary FLUX events which were one of the first urban carnival style event series in the US, combining multidisciplinary art, multi-genre music, and community development. FLUX was written about in several academic journals and popular books as a blueprint for rethinking a community.
Ryan continued his production work through forming Restorative Events, one of the world’s first event operations companies that focused on environmentally friendly operations. He has also produced several events with Pittsburgh’s Humanaut team, most notably the successful club installation Hijack and the Centre Street Social event at Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival, Movement.
In 2011, Ryan is continuing his work in production through assisting with the VIA arts and music event, rated one of the top 5 festivals in the world for October by the music mavens at Resident Advisor.
Ryan maintains a small home studio in Pittsburgh, PA. Feel free to email him.
