Q: Hey I know you went digital a while back, U use cds or Serato? I just got Serato a few months ago and love it, you learn any cool tricks using it? - DJ Zion

A: You know, I had Serato for a couple of months and then sold it...it's a beautiful system, but getting it patched in and out during a real, live set was just impossible. Also, about one out of six gigs there was some kind of technical who-knows-what that kept me from being able to play at all.

I have just (like *just*) burned a CD set and am only now really getting used to CD decks. Still love records best!

(Got a question or comment? Drop me a line!)

I'll be traveling to Malaysia next week to play two events alongside amazing DJs Forest Green and Clare Large.

26th Dec '08 - Heritage Mansion, Kuala Lumpur
27th Dec '08 - Club Momo Penang, Penang

Big love to Mylen at Powerhouse Adverting Agency for putting these incredible events together. You'd better believe I'm sticking around for New Year's Eve, too!

Lots of pictures (and maybe even some posts here) to come. Have an incredible holiday season...no matter what part of the world you'll be in!

[Come on out to Reno, I'll be playing the biggest little techno in the world at 12:30 a.m. -Amber]

NEW PARTY! NEW VENUE! From the minds of THIRSTY, FAKTION, DEF and many others!

Moleküle: an entity of strongly connected components, each with well defined individual properties, yet the synthesized entity possesses properties unique to itself.

Main Room:
FARZANA: Classy Concepts|3 Merry Men Be We
AMBER: Thirsty|SisterSF
KENNETH SCOTT: Auralism|Nightlight|Binary

Chill Area:
STML
TOMKAT
SAIMAN

Julie's Supperclub
1123 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA
9 PM to 2 AM 21+
Cost: $5 after 10pm.

STML: STML's vast knowledge of music, technical ear and mixing talent are immediately noticeable once he steps behind the decks. Taking a subtractive approach to mixing, STML prefers to keep it cool while taking you to places in techno that are often unfamiliar... yet at the same time oh so sick!

AMBER: For over 10 years, Amber has served it up "music first," relying on aggressive mixing of new and classic tracks instead of gimmickry or hype. Amber has played at all of SF's leading clubs, Ruby Skye, 1015, Supperclub as well as countless undergrounds.

FARZANA left her native Detroit to be part of San Francisco's Techno rebirth 2 years ago. Having built a reputation for dark, dirty and funky, her love affair with techno looks to continue heating up for many years to come.

KENNETH SCOTT, aka Eutactic cites as his influence early Warp records, Matthew Dear's acid experimentation as Audion and minimal-minded composers such as Philip Glass and Arvo Part. Defying categorization, he combines hard and melodic into his own unique style.

[Hi All - I'm scheduled to play at 11:15p, with Perla before and Alex Windsor after. Love this techno-friendly event. Check it out!]
