BARNEY ILLER (Barney Iller, NYC)

Brooklyn-based DJ/producer Barney Iller goes out of his way to mix cultures and musical styles. He spent his youth bumming around Los Angeles studio sessions, soaking up jazz and the slick L.A. rock of the time. He spent his early career as a classical singer and actor, performing works from Rossini to Rogers & Hammerstein.

Barney Iller found his way to electronic music through funk and 45 culture, rather than the house or UK scenes. Barney Iller uses all these influences and beyond in his eclectic sets; reinterpreting and revolving the musical context while savaging the dance floor. As part of the Plug 4 Burning Man camp, he helps hold it down for funk and funky breaks on the playa. In New York, Barney Iller hosts the Jungle Revival! party along with DJ Shakey; when and where are details closely held so do some digging.

This Saturday May 9th, you can catch Barney Iller at the Fifth Annual Bicycle Fetish Day as part of Bike Month NYC in Brooklyn on Havemeyer between Hope and Grand streets. It’s a block party for your bicycle! He plays most of the day event (noon-6pm) and the afterparty (6pm-10pm). BFD has bike related events including, but not limited to, awards and celebrations of bicycle culture, bike artwork, bicycle rides, and bicycle beautification stations to spiff up your wheels. Food and beer will be available. Local bike-related organizations will be on-hand to share pro-cycling gear and information. Afterparty at the City Reliquary’s spacious backyard at 370 Metropolitan.

This June, Barney Iller returns to Japan to play Sense of Groove at The Room in Tokyo.
