The Bunker on Red Bull Radio: Leisure Muffin 03/29/2018
from thebunkerny · host thebunkerny
@leisuremuffin The first artist signed to the Bunker New York returns to our NYC studio for an episode dedicated to live performance. Leisure Muffin, AKA Michael Hopkins, has been a part of the Bunker’s extended family for ages. Back in 2014, when the New York techno institution was looking to start a label, it made sense that Hopkins’ music would comprise the first release. Though Hopkins was a veteran known both for his solo synth performances and those with the late Buchla Music Easel enthusiast Charles Cohen, The Bunker New York 001 was his first – and, to date, only – release. (A new Leisure Muffin track made the cut on the recent 15 Years of the Bunker compilation, however.) Live performance is definitely the way to experience all that is Leisure Muffin, and Hopkins is back on the radio with Bryan Kasenic this week to discuss how he plays, and he presents recordings from a couple of recent live sets you won’t hear anywhere else: One where he played solo, and another performed in tandem with recent Bunker signee Abby Echiverri.
