Emotional Especial: Party Preview
Vinyl Dreams, another of San Francisco's newest (and finest) record stores, is
hosting some of their friends from across the pond: Jamie Paton and Chuggy, two characters from the
Emotional Especial crew. Emotional Especial (and their parent label,
Emotional Response) have been quietly honing a very particular sound over the past several years, releasing a steady stream of records from artists who work at the intersection of acid techno, dub, new beat, disco, and electro. It's a very distinctive, particularly British sound, one that sounds something like a modern take on the classic Andrew Weatherall sound. The pair is joined by the local synth-pop wizards of
Inhalt, who recently released their latest
remix 12-inch on Emotional Especial; they'll be contributing a DJ set of their influences and favorites. Finally, local funk-disco collective
40 Thieves will get behind the decks as well, celebrating the upcoming release of their new 12-inch, "Lower Haighter."
