The Bunker on Red Bull Radio: Karl And Ken Meier 04/06/17
from thebunkerny · host thebunkerny
@karlpmeier @ken-meier Brothers possessing an encyclopedic knowledge of music across the spectrum, Karl & Ken Meier join Bryan Kasenic in our New York studio. Born and raised in the western suburbs of Chicago, longtime collaborators and real-life brothers Ken and Karl Meier – who also records and performs as half of Talker, a duo with Jonathan “Stave” Crohn – developed a mutual obsession with music from their parents’ record collection, digging into rock & roll before moving onto synthpop and, eventually, the more electronic end of the spectrum. Working together at the Windy City’s reputable Gramaphone Records only increased their vinyl enthusiasm and expertise, simultaneously honed with weekly broadcasts on frequencies like WNUR and WHPK. Though the opportunity to DJ came somewhat unexpectedly to Karl, he and his brother took to it: they were the first Chicagoans to play out with Pioneer CDJs and hosted the Fear of Music event series (and now podcast) featuring a mix of regional and international producers including Surgeon, Function, Anthony “Shake” Shakir and BMG. Now based in New York City and Berlin, respectively, Ken and Karl come together in the studio for a wide-ranging, hard-hitting collaborative DJ set and an interview with Bryan Kasenic.
