Sure Thing: Party Preview
Sure Thing has only hosted a couple parties in San Francisco but is wasting no time filling its party schedule. Hot on the heels of the recent Veronica Vasicka-led Minimal Wave showcase, Sure Thing brings another important woman in electronic music to San Francisco:
K-Hand, or Kelli Hand, also known as the "first lady of techno." One of the earliest producers and DJs of Detroit techno, K-Hand's early productions were relentlessly heavy warehouse acid techno burners; her latest productions are slower and house-flavored, but still heavily flavored with the TB-303. She's supported by
Jack Murphy, a San Francisco transplant whose mesmerizing, understated techno records were some of last year's finest. He'll be DJing some deep techno and house to set the mood and warm the floor. Sure Thing's resident DJ,
Aaron J, opens the evening.
