For techno music aficionados, few artists draw more praise than the producer and DJs who have emerged from Sweden over the last decade. At the center of this Stockholm scene is JOEL MULL, a dynamic artist who is known as much for bonecrushing techno as he is for deeper, more melodic sounds. On Saturday, October 16th, he’ll be making his long-awaited return to the Sullivan Room, when he brings his diverse bag of underground sounds back to New York for his second Basic NYC set. With his brand-new album “Sensory” coming soon, get ready for a night of cutting edge grooves from this innovator.

Joel Mull, along with his peers and partners such as Adam Beyer, Alexi Delano, Cari Lekebusch, and Jesper Dahlback, has been at the vanguard of Sweden’s techno scene since the mid-90s, but today his influence is felt worldwide. A dynamic producer and remixer, Joel’s music covers a wide range of feelings and sounds, veering from tough, hypnotic techno, to more moody and melodic minded house. He’s found a home for his music on a wide variety of cutting edge labels, with releases on Enemy Records, Spectrum Recordings, Nic Fanciulli’s Saved, Sven Vath’s Cocoon and Steve Bug’s Audiomatique among others. His fourth album “Sensory” will be released on Beyer’s Truesoul label, and promises to be a thrilling showcase for his unique take on techno.

Joel’s DJing schedule reflects the worldwide regard for his turntable skills. He kicked off a busy summer with a memorable set at the 2010 Movement festival in Detroit, where he pummeled the Beatport  tent during the rain-soaked closing day. Gigs at prestigious clubs and festivals – Japan’s Air, the Ukraine’s Kazantip, Montreal’s Stereo, and a massive Drumcode warehouse party in London – are just some of his recent stops.

Joining Joel on the decks at the Sullivan Room will be Basic NYC’s Sleepy & Boo, who’ll be closing out the night with one of their signature late-night Sully sets. Fresh off a prime-time set at Cielo, and a memorable closing set after Cajmere, the duo are excited to keep the techno momentum going after Joel. Getting things started will be Chris Cornacchia in his Sullivan Room debut. Global Frequencies resident, and longtime Basic NYC guest, Thomas Pategas has the honor of opening for Mull. Joel’s first Sullivan Room set was one of Basic NYC’s all-time favorite nights of music, and the follow-up should be equally as stunning.
