Interface 52: Party Preview
Los Angeles techno stalwarts
Droid Behavior — the collective name of the artists and DJs
Drumcell,
Truncate (aka Audio Injection), and
Raíz — have been at it for over a decade, hosting events, producing tunes, and keeping the pure-strain techno spirit alive in Southern California. The group's
Interface parties are notorious for all-night techno madness in its native L.A., and this Friday marks the first time the group is bringing the Interface concept up to San Francisco. The Droid sound is quintessential full-strength machine music, in the grand German tradition; it sounds like '90s techno, fast, pummeling, and dynamic, refreshed and updated for the modern era. The whole Droid crew will be performing, which means long-form sets and no respite all night long. Meanwhile, visuals will be provided by Droid's resident video artist,
Oktaform, whose enormous, larger-than-life kinetic art is as close as you as you can get to watching techno happen before your eyes.
