The sound and background of Gaiser delves from an upbringing deep in percussion. Starting out as a drummer in his teen years, he played with bands behind a kit. What interested him even more though was experimenting with drum machines and he learned a balance between digital and real world instruments. Living in and around Michigan (Detroit for a few years) Gaiser frequented the music and underground parties from Detroit. Like most artists on the M_nus label (and let's face it, most of the US techno scene), Gaiser cites heavy influences from the Plus 8 and Minus events during the 1990s. His "And Answer" EP on M_nus has probably been the most played record of the year at the Bunker. http://m-nus.com/

Plexus is one of our favorite minimal techno DJs, and has been an integral part on the NYC minimal scene for a very long time. He's played at some of the better loft parties we've been to, usually with M_nus labelmates like Magda, Troy Pierce, and Richie Hawtin (remember when they all lived in Brooklyn?). He broke his collar bone while snowboarding this winter, and has been in Indiana for multiple surgeries over the past few months. We're glad to have him back behind the decks in NYC.
