“A vision of techno that harnesses randomness for all its potential…
a more remarkable musician than ever” Pitchfork
Selective Memory & Subject present a special late-night performance by BARKER (live) at The Workman’s Club in Dublin.
Join the acclaimed producer and DJ—known for his innovative, boundary-pushing techno on Smalltown Supersound,
Don’t miss this rare chance to experience Barker’s rhythms and atmospheric soundscapes live!
The British-born, Berlin-based artist Sam Barker has long sought to push the boundaries of electronic music, in and out of the club. Looking beyond the realm of 4/4 techno to explore left-field sound design and rhythmic complexity, the Berghain resident’s string of signature solo releases for the club’s Ostgut Ton imprint and Smalltown Supersound –including Debiasing, Utility, and 2025’sStochastic Drift–have earned widespread acclaim from the underground to the mainstream and everything in between. Utility was named Mixmag’s Album of the Year in 2019, while Stochastic Drift was named Mojo’s #1 Electronic Album of 2025, with Pitchfork likewise celebrating the record with a Best New Music review and naming it #14 on their 50 Best Albums of 2025 list.A restless collaborator and live performer, Barker is one-half of Barker & Baumecker, and his expansive approach to unorthodox musical exploration has led to ongoing live collaborations with the likes of Norwegian saxophonist Bendik Giske or alongside Speedy J, Rødhåd and Sebastian Mullaert in the shapeshifting live improv outfits Stoor, WSNWG and Circle of Live.
