Thanks to all that came out in Vegas for Soul Kitchen
and Blank Canvas' Bass Binge, and thanks to those who
came out to Sister's - Dragnet Sat.! Playin' ghetto
tech lovin' with Red Stickman was too much fun! I
just love to bounce like that, don't u! =) Still
totally amazed that I actually made it in time. As of
11PM that night (Sat. night) I was still on the ground
in Vegas. The flight out of Vegas was majorly delayed
(was supposed to take off at 7:30pm)! Caught a cab
post haste when I arrived in San Francisco dashing
home fast enough to switch out my records, change my
clothes, and get my ass down to Mighty. ahhhhh...

TUESDAY JULY 25th
BOT @ BOCA
8PM - 1AM
with special guests... Solenoid & Señor Frio
(Portland, USA),
and BOT residents Forest Green, Satamile and Dov.
Solenoid is a (Portland, Oregon-USA) based electronic
music composer who has explored a variety of genres.
Informed by electro, new wave, jazz, disco, noise,
metal, classical, and avant garde music, his releases
do have common elements when seen as a whole. Tracks
usually feature playful and funky percussion and
melodic progressions with some signature warbly
synthesizer sounds. Solenoid's music develops a kind
of baroque 'maximalism' (where most
electro/techno/house/disco defaults toward minimalism)
much in the vein of early Detroit techno. Titles make
references to film, sci-fi, technology, literature,
synthesizers and musicology. 90's releases lean toward
shuffling, skittering funk with 80's influences,
occasionally exploring non-4/4 rhythms. The first 3
albums contain work compiled from a period several
years earlier and are often identified with the first
generation of US 'IDM' artists, though the spirit of
experimentation is more akin to free jazz and
prog-rock ideas of time signature and melodic
structure rather than sonic experimentation. An early
issue of Grooves called Solenoid 'the American answer
to Mouse On Mars'.
Senor Frio-Señor Frio is one half of Portland's
dynamic electro-duo, Ainu, producing electro and
techno tracks for nearly 4 years now. Playing live,
armed with a laptop and two drum machines, Frio brings
a continuous mix of beats, bass and electrofunk
blippiness. Frio's solo style still holds its roots in
electro, yet incorporates the elements of downtempo,
house, idm and techno. Having played solo gigs at
Holocene, KPSU, Noir, Smart Bar in Chicago, and The
Chapel in Seattle, Frio has honed his skills at
engaging the listener with his own brand of
techno-eroticism while gaining supreme knowledge in
rocking the dance floor, performing with the Spandecks
Syndicate and along side techno virtuoso Lets Go
Outside. Señor Frio's first release will be coming
this summer on Narita Records' Terminal 2 12". His
first EP will be released this November on Digital
Distortions. Some may think the machine music is cold
but Señor Frio es muy caliente
Plus Residents: Forest Green- Daly City Rec., Sister
sf. , Dov- Muti Records, Satamile- Satamile Rec.
