eclectic ecstatic dance music
Very excited to hear these San Franciscans play. Last time he
was in town, The Fresh Blend played an amazing set at Halcyon
and gave me a mix cd that i finally listened to on my way to
Detroit a few weeks back ... it's rigoddamndiculously good!
Dude mixes it up in a style that is very unique but in a way quite
similar to the kind of mixing that has made DJ /Rupture very
famous. Don't sleep on these guys!
DEGIERE:
San Francisco native Chris de Giere presents a dynamic mix of
soupy digital ambience and bass heavy abstract beats. With an
interest in real-time synthesis and chaotic systems, de Giere
improvises with custom software tools encouraging
spontaneous moments of convergence and harmony. His
recorded tracks and live sets range from subdued atmospheres
to all out dance floor freak outs. de Giere has released
material with Emanate, No Type, Throat, and Volta and performs
regularly across the United States.
THE FRESH BLEND:
For ten years the Fresh Blend has been bringing techno to
warehouses and clubs across the country. As a founding
member of New England Works he helped put the techno
aesthetic into the ears and minds of many in the north east.
Now in San Francisco, the Fresh Blend brings experimental
electronics to California for Trouble, the infamous monthly that
pushes techno outside the box. Outside the box, indeed -- the
Fresh Blend is known best for ignoring techno's fragmented
genre boundaries as he drops track after track for your mind and
your feet.

more info: klapidus@...
i've been a huge Lisa Suckdog fan for a very long time. she used
to do an amazing fanzine called Rollerderby
(http://slick.org/Rollerderby/index.shtml) and was in an okay
band called Suckdog. now she writes for nerve.com, Playboy,
Hustler, and she's coming to NYC to do skits where the
audience performs bizarre sexual acts? word. on top of that,
this is one of Kyle's parties with all kinds of interesting
distractions. AND you get Aaron Dilloway from the
most excellent Ann Arbor electro noise rock outfit Wolf Eyes (who
tore me a new asshole in Detroit a few weeks back). highly
recommended!
