This event will also be the official going away party for very
well-connected music journalist Phil Sherburne (he's moving to Spain),
so early arrival is advised! Last month we were sold out by 11:30!
This month at KONTROL we are excited to feature a 2 hour performance
by underground tech-house hero KENNETH GRAHAM of Los Angeles. He is a
20+ year veteran of the electronic music scene who has produced with
the likes of Terry Francis, David Alvarado, Casey Hogan, and Rithma,
and has releases on numerous labels including Peacefrog, Ovum,
Spectral, Immigrant, Plastic City, Stickmen, Jump, and his own
imprint, Controlteam. Kenneth will be playing 100% original material,
over half of which is brand new and unreleased. If you've never heard
KG's productions before, you are in for a treat. We are huge fans of
his work and promise he will not disappoint!
"One of the most respected tech-house producers in the US" -- RhythmicNYC
"Graham's music exceeds the limitations of restrictive titles and is
simply good music. "For those producers that have a gift for
anticipating the future, and belief in that vision, then it is only a
matter of time before the masses jock your sound." Apparently they
are, for as 'underground' as Graham strives to be, he has collectively
sold over 100,000 units worldwide." -- OvereasyRecords.com
Supporting Kenneth is the SF debut LIVE PERFORMANCE by Marc Barrite,
a.k.a. DAVE AJU. Marc is a longtime Bay Area music head, DJ, promoter,
and producer, and is truly an undiscovered gem amongst us, with both
great taste and a wealth of talent. His infectious style, consisting
of equal parts chin stroking and rump shaking, has won him releases on
Circus Company out of Paris (think Ark, Cabanne, Kean, Mossa), and
Context, the Bay Area label run by Seth Horvitz a.k.a. Sutekh.
Although he's played live in Europe to great response, this will be
his first legit live performance on his home court of San Francisco.
We're stoked to be the ones unleashing him on the city!
"Barrite has been laying it down around these parts for almost a
decade, but with the brilliant, slushy-yet-sleek experimental house
records he makes for Ark's Circus Company under the guise of Dave Aju
– think déjà vu – I wouldn't be shocked if he up and left for Berlin.
God knows I would if I were making sh*t this good." - Ken Taylor, SF
