More Ironic Than You (MITU or “me too”) seeks to write an amazing first sentence that sums up how awesome they are at just about everything they do. Curated and produced by LEARNED EVOLUTION, MITU is an intelligent, witty, and dance-able celebration of the current shift beyond the dying trend of irony and apathy, into a more meaningful, integrity-based cultural existence.
With ECLECTIC METHOD & REGGIE WATTS returning as headliners with bigger sets, the second MITU on FEBRUARY 22nd features a launch party for “I WANT YOU TO WANT ME,” the latest interactive online installation by JONATHAN HARRIS and SEP KAMVAR. Opening at the Museum of Modern Art on February 24th, 2008, the creators of the renowned site WeFeelFine.org are back
with their most incredible work yet with I Want You to Want me, to be displayed on a 56-inch, 4k resolution interactive touch display that beautifully reveals the hidden relationships and meanings behind the online dating world.
The party will also feature a late-night dance party thanks to Brooklyn’s finest DJ LE CHEV, as AV-DJ LARS returns to expand minds with his danceable audio-video DJ set to kick off the party. The event will also celebrate the birthday of LEARNED EVOLUTION founder and director JUSTIN
BOLOGNINO.

"The Bunker" Dance Party
KENDRA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
Miss Fitz (Freak n' Chic, Sushitech, Raum...Musik | Berlin)
Kendra (Waxx Dolls, TNL | NYC)
Maayan Nidam aka Miss-Fitz has been spinning and producing music since 1999. Her releases on Raum Musik, Freak n' Chic FR, Circus Company, on Kalimari as Uli Kunkel (together with Shaun Reeves and Lee Curtiss) and other labels, had been remixed by Ricardo Villalobos, Jeff Samuel, Ryan Crosson, Mossa, Pheek, Spasm and others. Although based in Berlin, Fitz keeps on the move, spinning a mixture of underground House and Techno around the globe in venues such as Colors Studio Tokyo, Robert Johnson Frankfurt, Club Transmediale Berlin, Wolf+Lamb NY, Decadance Belgium, Mono-club Amsterdam , Pacotek Jerusalem, Hive & Piping Switzerland and many more. She also makes frequent appearances around Berlin on her 'space mokeys unite!' nights at Watergate and Arena Club, as well as in changing venues in London. With the rest of her time, Fitz reviews music for Vice magazine (Germany) and posts for Underground-Amputations.
Kendra is known for playing weird tech house, robot love songs, underwear dance party anthems, and songs that make you want to bust out into crazy interpretive techno dances. She is also known for raising hell at our parties, dancing on the bar, stripping, humping speakers, doing pushups and handstands, making out, buying rounds of shots, and otherwise getting the party started properly (see the Bunker photo galleries for evidence of all of the above). She is a great DJ who is constantly schooling us on hot new tracks. She's been a friend and a supporter for a long time, and we're thrilled to get her back behind the decks at the Bunker for her third birthday party with us in a row. Word on the street is that Kendra's DJing skills have improved dramatically lately, so get ready for a crushing set.
