DJ Sara Wlaker
Her start in the music industry began at Bill Laswell's label Subharmonic
in New York City. Shortly following, she and a friend conceived
a T-Bar at the mythic Save the Robots, a late night learning session
of hot Tang, herbal tea, bizarre personalities, and weird musical
revelations. It was here Sara first heard DJ Soulslinger, the Liquid
Sky guru.
The money from hot Tang profits immediately went into jungle record
after jungle record. Unable to deny the call of the Sky, Sara began
to work at Liquid Sky Music. She was determined to learn everything
about the industry behind the music she loved. She wanted to slice
through the layers behind the decks, into the world of the disc
jockey. She first began to showcase her talents at the Liquid Sy
parties, where she became a regular contender for control of the
turntables. Somehow the picture wasn't entirely complete. With her
two partners, Chicago and they set out to create a weekly jam that
would range from the darkest depths of drum 'n bass to the funk
of old school hip hop. This w her to develop and diversify her
sound. She started her own party - Table Manners. Here she was able
to truly shape a realm where her alter ego could fully thrive.
Her style flipped, as if she suffered attention deficit disorder,
into an amalgam of 80's influenced electro funk, seemingly spastic
broken breakbeat bliss and ass-smacking drum & bass. The
foundation of the world where she would become the super heroine
was now in place. She knew there was one more step she had to take.
To fully breath life into her new realm, Sara had to produce
her own tracks. She would combine hazy atmospherics, a sense
of humor, and ambient melodies to make music that barks as well
as bites. As within our own world she takes all the seemingly missmatched
element and finds a way to fuse the unfuseable. She has shared
her sensibility with various NY producers including Lloop( of WE)
and DJ del Mar, one Abducted Remix as a duo and
more to come.
In order to spread her vision worldwide Sara started her own label
Command Chaos, with Gabriel Hunter (Liquid Sky's graphic designer).
The label is dedicated to re-contextualizing the music of pop icons
with unexpected tributes from the most intelligent, forward thinking
musicians of today. The first release is a tribute to John Carpenter
(Escape from New York, Halloween) with remixes from DJ Olive (WE),
Khan (Air Liquide), Tube (Liquid Sky Music)
and Fast (Fun Lovin' Criminals).
She has already been featured in such reknowned publications as
Urb, The New York Times, The Village Voice, NY Time Out, Jockey
Slut, Mixer Magazine, GEAR Magazine, Flyer Magazine, Vogue, British
Elle and Eastern Edge. Sara has flown far from the confines of the
Tri-State area throwing down sets in such far flung venues as
Seattle, Washington,DC, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Germany,
Holland, The UK and Switzerland creating a colorful world of
her own making wherever her music takes her.
Her sets and production make her Blade Runner-esque fantasy of
the future as tangible as the present. She's an adult cartoon that's
simultaneously crass and sophisticated. She displays the skewed
mathematically precise logic of a iconoclastic introvert.
You can currently hear Doomer at her New York residencit weeklies:
Direct Drive (NYC's #1 weekly Drum & Bass party w/ UK Residents
DJ Zinc & Hype of the True Playa'z and Ganja Kru, DJ Stakka
of Underfire Rec's, Notorious J of Trouble on Vinyl and Profile
of Black Market Records),Test Press, and Static (a new experimental
sonic soundfest featuring Skam artists and Clark Warner of Minus
Records / Richie Hawtin's label). You never know what she'll be
playing
next but you most definetly don't want to miss her set.
