April 10 – Yuri’s Night Bay Area

I’ll be playing at Yuri’s Night down at NASA on April 10. It is awesome. It’s a collaborative production this year by crews including Symbiosis and Lovetech, so expect top-notch music and art installations.

March 18 – 5 Minutes of Fame at Noisebridge

Thursday I’m signed up to talk about Loveland at the new Noisebridge space in the Mission. The idea, recent developments, and upcoming website launch and developer’s platform.

I was invited to play a Valentine’s Day party and thought I’d conjure up some hearts for it. These functions at Mathworld looked suitable for some parametric sweetness so I grabbed one.

And shortly had them floating around…

…at the Red Party.

I’ve been finding a lot of good electronica mixes (mostly minimal techno & tech house, summer sounds for a rainy winter week) for my programming soundtrack & thought I’d share some links.

• Random Rab – not techno, but beautiful, smooth, midtempo and genre-defying. Listen to live sets at Synchromystic, Onomotopoeia, and on WNUR.
• Jamie Kidd
• The Glitch Mob – Crush Mode. West coast acid crunk / glitch hop
• Henry Saiz at Transitions
• Cell Abrasion from Phidelity. Minimal.
• Nature One – with sets from Extrawelt, Deadmau5, & more
• Deadmau5 Essential Mix & at Wonderland
• process 172 & 173 (& lots more) at modyfier
