Biografía
Drawing inspiration from a love of 90's IDM, Krautrock, ambient, melodic techno and the mysteries of the cosmos BUNKR treads an exploratory path deftly cultivating a unique voice in electronic music.
The first BUNKR release was issued by Berlin's Love On The Rocks label, picking up fans across the globe including Tim Sweeney who featured Cloud Chaser in his best of 2017 round up on his Beats In Space radio show.
2018 found BUNKR further broadening their sonic horizon collaborating with the fledging
VLSI label set up by the Echaskech crew. The Outerstellar and Appl Skies EP's traversed
techno and chugging house styles and were well received by some of the scene's
more discerning DJ's including James Zabiela, Posthuman (I Love Acid), Joris Voorn, Nick
Warren (Way Out West) and DJ Food (Ninja Tune).
Following these releases BUNKR set about producing their first long player. The end result was 2019's The Initiation Well. This album was a far more exploratory affair than any other BUNKR material that had come before with slow-burning ambient interludes rubbing shoulders with hypnotic crawling techno and pastoral Kraut-esque electronica.
Skip to the now and BUNKR activity continues apace. They contributed a track to the highly
lauded Castles In Space compilation The Isolation Tapes (Electronic Sound magazine's
compilation of the year in 2020), whilst recent live shows have seen them playing alongside Ulrich Schnauss, Richard Norris, Soccer96 and Leafcutter John.
The second BUNKR album Graveyard Orbit was released in October 2021 and took their sci-fi techno approach deeper into the electronic cosmos, thematically providing reflections on man-made waste and our own longevity. Or as one reviewer summed it up, “a dazzling, tone-rich journey that captures the moments when life ends and the story just begins”.
“Fans of classic ambient explorations along the lines of The Orb and Tom Middleton
should find plenty to savour” - Cyclic Defrost
