Bread: Party Preview
One of the most exciting scenes to bubble up in the past five-plus years is the global recontextualization of "club music" (a remarkably nondescriptive name shortened from "Baltimore club," a reference to the mid-Atlantic region from which it originates), an up-tempo hybrid of house, R&B, and breakbeats.
Bread, a new party, focuses on bringing artists working in this continuum to San Francisco — its second outing features
Rabit, a
Houston-based producer of dark, moody, and sparse beats, often working with U.K. grime producers or MCs. Rabit's newest material appears on buzzy label Tri Angle, and has some
collaborations in the pipeline with Björk, who is an unabashed champion of his music — a curious pairing that will certainly expose his work to a whole new group of people. Also on deck are a whole slew of similarly minded performers from the U.K. and the U.S., with the back room hosted by "not a label" Classical Trax.
