KONTROL- my favorite monthly in San Francisco – is celebrating their four year anniversary this Saturday, June 6th with the West Coast debut of German power couple the Wighnomy Brothers. KONTROL is guaranteed quality techno. For me, what separates this night from so many others, is the first-class residents. Nikola Baytala, Sammy D, Alland Byallo, [...]

Stimming: blues-techno
Posted in Video, tagged Resident Advisor, Stimming on May 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I first heard of Stimming when I couldn’t get enough of his RA Podcast. I fell in love with his clean, dripping percussion – you can tell the boy is a drummer. Stimming’s single “The Loneliness” features his production staples of unusual vocals and street sounds. The result is a haunting combination of blues and [...]

DEMF 2008 was without a doubt, one of the music highlights of my life. Only a city such as Detroit can host an inexpensive, diverse festival where it really is about the music. There’s a certain sound to the motor city you don’t find anywhere else. You may have heard Kevin Saunderson spin in Berlin [...]
trippy techno

The video of Mike Monday’s “Catnip” is the perfect fusion of sight and sound, matching fantasy visuals to his trippy techno. It reminds me of the dream sequence in The Big Lebowski, minus bowling and nudity. I only wish my cat took me on magic keytar rides.

Since I am staying local this Memorial Day Wekend (i.e. not going to Detroit – insert sad face), I figured I should make the most of it. Thank god I live in San Francisco, where parties and festivals are in abundance. So I just bought tickets for etd.POP. WARNING – the website is packed with music [...]
bring your coat and bring your youth

“Young San Francisco” by SF-based duo Boy in Static is an infectious indie-synth tune, the kind that gets stuck in your head for days, especially foggy ones such as these. Even more addictive is the adorable video, which features two very young, enthusiastic musicians on different coasts. Boy in Static’s Alexander Chen admits the video [...]
