Outpost: Anniversary Party Preview
The Bay Area is having a moment right now. Despite how hellishly difficult it is to live here right now — or maybe because of that, come to think of it — San Francisco and Oakland are home to a slew of underground electronic musicians, many of whom are beginning to make waves, and wow crowds all around the world.
Worker/Parasite, a one-man techno act based out of Oakland, is precisely one such artist. He's been quietly producing raw, hardware-driven tunes for years now, inspired by the tough-as-nails acid techno coming out of the Midwest in the mid-late '90s. The world has taken notice — he released a cassette on of-the-moment label Opal Tapes with more coming on local outlet Jacktone Records — and the Bay Area should, too. He's performing a live hardware techno set at the one-year anniversary of left-field dance music party
Outpost, returning after a short hiatus with all residents DJing, to boot.
