Party People unite at The National Underground!
Don't panic! It is possibly the end of the world, as the Mayan calendar suggests, so for this show we present some amazing techno producers from around the United States to welcome these long-awaited aliens…
Featuring the return of Monktec, our favorite Boston dark techno producer with countless releases on over a dozen top international techno labels… as well as NYC debut for James Kelley from Dallas! This notoriously dark haunting techno producer appears with releases in Beatport's top 100 and performs regularly at main events across the country and is excited to perform in NYC at The National Underground.
Joining us again is NYC's own Duckhunter, the mad scientist who is one of our favorite underground producers these past years, along with Twice as Proper staples Craft and Shadi. A showcase of real underground techno dj's and producers with mad live gear, controllers, effects and bass… These guys are going to give us a super massive and truly Proper techno night in NYC.
Bring it on aliens… we are waiting for you at New York's dark underground techno basement club with brick walls, wooden floors, soundproofing cubes, smoke effects, lasers, and propelling warm bass on that Turbosound system installment.

Twice as Proper is a New York City Based Underground Techno Events organization. Craft & Shadi co-created the movement "Twice as Sweet" which then became "Twice as Proper Sessions". With an impressive over 200 events and over 100 guest dj bookings, it is now well established in the NYC underground techno scene. 2012 is the 5th year for the organization, and with quite an illustrious list of guest DJ bookings in venues across Manhattan & Brooklyn, there is always something exciting and different to expect from the events. In 2010, Twice as Proper hosted 8 events in Playa del Carmen (Mexico) during the winter, while keeping regular NYC events alive as always. 2011 was fantastic for the two artists bringing International tours in 5 countries (USA, Italy, Egypt, Mexico, Costa Rica), international radio shows, podcasts, music productions, TV coverage (Italy, Mexico, Costa Rica), soundcloud recordings listened to in over 90 countries, new fans and friends. Craft & Shadi have been spinning since 1994 on those legendary Technics 1200's. Then followed the years of CDJ technology and mixers with effects, always keeping it dark, deep, dirty real serious. They now often perform live mixes with ultimate controllers, with live effects and explosive sets, chopping' up loops and samples, all while in the mix. The result is always "Massive". Craft & Shadi promise to rip it Proper. No crap.

LABELS:
Mischkonsum Records [GER] | Kontrol Records [ITA] | Fanciful Label [GER] | Moleskine Music [Medellín, Columbia] | WaxTooth [USA]
Biography
Hailing from somewhere deep in the shadows of the Dallas (USA) underground this veteran artist, with over a decade of existance in the scene, is no stranger to orchestrating dancefloors into a late night mind f*&k. Influenced by dank dark warehouses and all night marathon sets, his weapons of choice have been known to span several genres including minimal, techno, and tech house. Beginning his exploration of electronic sound in the late 90's, he then spent the next 7 years hypnotized by his love for vinyl. During this time of experimenting with almost every source of music available to him, he always leaned toward the darker side of sound, finally finding his home with dark minimal techno. In early to mid 2010, he decided that producing his own music was the only way to go deeper into his own thoughts and express himself as an artist. After finally making material available to the public, he was immediately signed with Kontrol Records Rome and Mischkonsum Records (Former Googoo Records) of Stuttgart, Germany. His debut release "The Spell EP" and follow up release "The Seven Year Detour EP" quickly seated themselves amongst some of the genre's elite at #17 and #7 respectively on "Beatport's Top Minimal 100". He is constantly locked in the lab formulating a unique brew of sounds ranging from haunting and deep, dark and moody, to twisted and diabolic so prepare yourself to get lost in an audio journey into the depths of your own mind.

DUCKHUNTER (Kontrol | Siesta | Mystery Train) - NYC
- NYC
Biography
Duckhunter, is an electronic music producer from New York City who has profoundly began to influence the NYC Underground Techno scene, bringing together psychedelic and hypnotic grooves with over-the-edge sounds, brought together with his live musical skills; playing base, guitar, piano, and experimenting with sound as though it was a liquid substance for over 10 years. A new phase of productions and performances began in late 2009, when Duckhunter officially signed with UberKontrol Techno label; which prooved to become a homebase electronic music label for his acclaimed releases from 2008 onward such as; "Ich bin eine Entejager" ("I am the Duck Hunter) with Alex Salganik (Uberkontrol), as well as "Lockdown JailHouse EP release of 2009" (on Beatport April 11th), "Gravity EP Release", also Tech House releases such as "TempoRed" and "Teleport" on Elastic Gun Records label in 2008 and 2009. Duckhunter uses the power of electronic musical sound, to bring people to a religious and almost euphoric and sedative experience, sharing the energy of his bright-burning, orange and energetic so called "Duckhunt", which itself tells a story to the party people of a ever-changing adventure though time and space, venturing to a deserted island on the outskirts of nowhere... Duckhunter's music evolved to have a characteristic & classy Tech Housy and minimalistic essence, with clean-cut scientific and precise grooves & occasionally twisted psycho-acoustic vocals with a plastic or rubbery whooling base precicely modified & engineered kick, with 3D transience as well as a spectral array of groovy and psychedelic sound frequencies. Producing specifically electronic music for only 4 years, Duckhunter is becoming a new and revolutionary phenomenon in New York City. His active collaborations with artists such as Unsaved6, Alex Salganik (Uberkontrol), On da Skillet (Aerotropic), Craft (Craftmusicproductions), etc., as well as label residency on Uberkontrol label and EA Gun Records for Tech House and Minimal Techno releases is greatly anticipated by dance music events in the Brooklyn Underground Loft Scene in NYC, as well as a whole summer of performances in and outside of the United States. Duckhunter is constantly sharpening his technical skills as a electronic music producer; creating his twisted and dancy but at the same time morphed and fashioned futuristic trend of pure and magestic electronic sound pleasing crowds as well as firing up and sometimes cooling down the energy on the dancefloor.
