Every second Friday at Underground SF is Pulse Generator and this Friday features Chris Zaldua aka DJ CZ. For his set this Friday he says, “If you’ve caught me DJing over the past couple of weeks you’ve probably heard me play really weird all-over-the-place opening sets, which are fun, but I’m really looking forward to picking a bunch of technicolor techno rippers and building a dancefloor groove.” DJ CZ (Surface Tension, Left Hand Path) Liz Revision (Quantazelle, subVariant, Dust Science, Intelligent Dance Party) Rubidium (From 0-1, Pulse Generator, Anode Records) UNDERGROUND SF 424 Haight St, San Francisco 10pm – 2am 21+ | $5 all night FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/events/1729236200630501/ RESIDENT ADVISOR: https://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?854748 DJ CZ Chris Zaldua is a music journalist/enthusiast in addition to being a great DJ.

Brandt Brauer Frick: “Bop” deconstructed techno via classical music
From the band: “We had felt for years that most instances of combining techno and classical music lack an authentic approach. Instead of using only the typical epic orchestra or piano sounds, we love to explore the dirty and percussive sides of those instruments, adapting techniques from composers like John Cage or Helmut Lachenmann: preparing our piano with screws and rubbers, knocking against every single part of an instrument, until we find that one great sound.” — Paul Frick
“Wired Fridays” will feature Chicago DJs prominent in the industry every Friday beginning in January
The 2013 series of Wired Fridays in Chicago will be showcasing Chicago DJ-slash-promoters who have been passionately sharing their highly-specific tastes within their chosen branches of electronic music through their events, radio shows, workshops, and personal performances–albeit with the discerning eye of a curator who has been immersed in local musical culture long enough to be able to sift through the sand to find the gems. What’s really exciting about this particular debut lineup is that every performer has contributed to Chicago’s electronic music culture in a very significant yet personal way over the years they’ve been in the industry. Unlike certain major festivals that seem to rely on headlining those global-trekking-performers who appeal to the most people to generate the highest revenue (and, if they get it … Read More
ATOM^TM on Saturday in Chicago, an odd new mix & paper toys!
[SENT TO MY EMAIL LIST] Hi there! It’s been a minute since I popped up in your inbox, but you should be aware of some cool things. First off, this Saturday in Chicago, ATOM (Senor Coconut) and Tobias are playing to launch a new “electronic music education initiative and creativity cultivator” called Electronic Sound + Art Chicago (ESAC). The idea is to highlight interesting artists and bring a refreshingly sincere take on an increasingly scenester-and-PR-driven musical landscape. ESAC’s opening choice of acts exemplifies their mentality. If you look at ATOM aka Uwe Schmidt’s discography, he constantly innovates, switches genres, collaborates, but he’s insanely talented and does it all extremely well. His early project, Atom Heart featured ambient / acid-tinged and atmospheric deep techno, and then he moves to … Read More

Last.fm introduces gender plots
Last.fm introduced a beta feature that can compare artists, genres and tags on a gender – age plot. Interesting. http://blog.last.fm/2010/09/22/now-in-the-playground-gender-plots Here’s one that’s particularly interesting: Software, engineer, DJ, producer, and musician all skew male, while boyfriend, girl, email, outgoing, person, friends and love all skewed female. Thoughts? UPDATE: Here’s my plot compared among my friends.
