RS94109 Presents Silent Servant, Alberich, Marshstepper, and More: Party Preview
For a night decidedly not mainstream,
RS94109, the city's newest vinyl record shop specializing in vintage techno and house, industrial, experimental, and dub, is hosting a noisy showcase headlined by
Silent Servant, New York noisemaker
Alberich, and a host of artists from the hotly-tipped collective
Ascetic House. Silent Servant is best known as one of the world's premier techno DJs, but he's also an accomplished producer — Friday night marks the debut of his live techno set in San Francisco. Joining him is Alberich, whose performances fully blur the line between techno and noise — he makes highly percussive music that pairs the aggression of noise music with the rhythmic, body-moving elements of techno. Next up is
Marshstepper, a two-person outfit with a similarly genre-bending approach to music (and noise);
Renoir, the industrial-power electronics moniker of RS94109's Skander and former local Vereker; and the back room is manned by an array of local DJs, including Justin Anastasi of Surface Tension, Dima of Tekno Kitchen, and Josh Woods and Kevin Monteiro from RS94109.
