Lights Down Low: Party Preview

Within the past decade or so, a new generation of young Britons have ignited a renewed love affair with American house music, mining the genre's endlessly fertile grounds for inspiration, committing their love letters to vinyl record. Fort Romeau is one of the latest, releasing his debut album on L.A.'s 100% Silk in 2012 and shortly thereafter signing onto Michigan mega-label Ghostly International. Listening to his tunes, it's easy to hear why Ghostly picked him up: Infused with the spirit of classic New York disco and Chicago house, they're irresistibly catchy and clearly written with songwriting in mind. Meanwhile, his latest 12" for German label Running Back is a disco-centric slab of Balearic bliss that manages to avoid so many of the cliches other "nu-disco" producers suffer from. Joining him is Moderna, an L.A.-based DJ with a knack for mixing up lighter indie-dance fare with acid techno scorchers.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
