Listen: TLR’s The Hague Is The Plague mix
Crème Organization chief DJ TLR has compiled a mix celebrating 20 years of iconic Dutch imprint Bunker Records.
The lovingly mixed selection (“some classics, some personal faves and some tracks I rediscovered while trying to figure out what to put in it” according to TLR) contains more than an hour and a half’s worth of classic Bunker moments, showcasing the label’s enduring appeal as the outlet for The Hague sound, which for the uninitiated is essentially a visceral DIY concoction of raw acid, electro and techno.
If you head over to the Crème Soundcloud page, the mix comes relete with some heartfelt sleeve notes from TLR, who says celebrating the Bunker 20th anniversary amidst a distinct lack of press coverage “feels a bit like a man toasting himself in the mirror of a Travel Inn single bedroom with sum minibar party favors listening to Orca Reunion”.
You can stream or download the mix via the Soundcloud player below.
