Beachcoma: The Modernist

Kompakt Burger/Inker and minimal pioneer Jörg Burger operates under an endless number of monikers, but tonight he performs in his most crowd-pleasing guise as The Modernist, which even garnered him an indie rep in the 1990s when American labels briefly believed that all the Sonic Youth fans were about to start speed habits. Kompakt labelmates Pan/Tone will be DJing in a starker mode, while their quirky Areal label mate Metope adds eccentric touches to the traditional thump-thump-thump.
