This week at Killswitch: Christian Mora (Bang the Box), Mr. Wrong (Mag 7) & Mossmoss (Racecar/Nightlight)!
About Christian Mora:
Christian's story has only begun to be written. After getting his start in 1995, he began to make a name for himself by playing undergound parties, mantaining residencies, and organizing full-moon parties all across Mexico. After making the move to San Francisco in 2000, he started working at the now defunct Nemesis distributor, helping to service dance music stores across the states as well as his own store Crescent Records in Guadalajara. By melding house, tech house, techno and electro into his own signature blend, his good ear and taste for music has allowed him to DJ not only in Mexico, but Spain, Holland, Japan and the States. For the last couple of years, Christian as been playing club and underground events as a member of Bang The Box, alongside fellow San Franciscans Solar, Lance DeSardi, and Guada. Previous Bang The Box guests have included John Tejada, Dan Curtin, Jona, Dollz At Play, Alexkid, and Mr. C., with many more on the horizon.
About Mr. Wrong:
Mr. Wrong a.k.a. Ron Elder has been a low rumbling fixture in the SF Bay Area dance music scene since the mid-90s. His efforts began in the underground with renegade techno parties like IDM, and eventually surfaced to the club scene in the form of cutting-edge ventures such as Vehicle, Shear, and Rehab. Wrong's industrial and punk roots are constantly at work melding with a strong penchant for the funk and a deep understanding of low end theories and proper sound systems. Having never heard a bass line he doesn’t like, Mr. Wrong is a believer that the dirtier the music, the sweatier the dance floor, and he practices what he preaches accordingly. Now after over a decade of DJ experience and quality electronic music advocacy, he is also preparing to release some of his own studio creations into the world, coming soon to a subwoofer near you.
About Mossmoss:
Music is greatly influenced by geography and the case of Mossmoss is no different. Mossmoss' world began in chilly Scotland, however, he now lives and loves in beautiful San Francisco, California. Techno is a natural extension of his creative life as he has spent many years in close proximity to the grit of Detroit. Heavily influenced by the grimy, sultry sounds of Detroit, Berlin and Chicago, he has taken that influence to the Bay Area and draws on The City and its colorful nightlife for inspiration.
As a promoter for "Bang!" and RCP related events in Cincinnati, Mossmoss mixed his passion for techno with art and pushed himself to the forefront of the local music scene. Experienced in guest and headlining spots in the Midwest, Mossmoss has his mind set to conquer San Francisco and beyond.
Mossmoss was one of three artists featured on RaceCarProductions Volume 1, their virgin effort in 2006. Since then he has released a solid remix for Monocle's "Dilleniidae" which stole dancefloors the world over in 2007, receiving play and charting (beatport) from Drumcode's Kyle Geiger and Klectik's Sassmouth. After a hiatus he is back, more confident and eager than ever.
