New to SF Bay. Lookin for the RAVE raves.
What's up, all!
I just moved to San Francisco about six weeks ago and I'm still learning and discovering the scene. I love it out here, fo sho! I've been to 1015 a few times and heard some sick sets from the likes of John Beaver, DJ Taj and Lyndsay. Hella good. I moved out here with my best friends, and we're all ravers looking for some real raves...
You know, real raves where people still wear bright colors and kandi bracelets and lights and everyone loves hugs, light shows and massages. I guess I'm just sayin, I'm a bit tired of drunk people at the club who can only think about hooking up. I just want to go out and have fun, dance, listen to some great music, and talk until the wee a.m. with people who can't stop smiling. Not really looking for anything too underground, something at a licensed venue for sure...just something more friendly and crazy and less drunky and slurred, know what I'm saying?
I'm so new to the area and don't really know anyone, so point me in the right direction! Thanks!

Hey dude, then I would check out www.bayraves.com
TA is more of the club scene, bayraves is the raver scene.
Where did you move from? I moved here from the east coast years ago and was shocked by the candy-kid movement here...and people who still visit from the other side of the US always seem to be in shock at how many candy kids there are here...well, at least at the large events.
Hope you enjoy your experience.

This week @ KILLSWITCH: Sutekh & Kit Clayton!
This week @ KILLSWITCH: Sutekh (Context) & Kit Clayton (Musork)!
Long before "minimal techno" had it's resurgence in San Francisco, techno true schoolers Kit Clayton and Sutekh were holding things down with their own productions, running the gamut from minimal house and techno to experimental electronic collages. Tonight, these two make a rare appearance, giving you a long overdue auditory cleansing which will have the chins stroking, heads bobbing and asses ready for the weekend.
About Sutekh:
Since 1997, San Francisco-based Sutekh has released consistently inconsistent electronic music on labels such as Soul Jazz (UK), Leaf (UK), Force Inc./Mille Plateaux (Germany), Orthlorng Musork (USA), and his own Context. Manipulating and abusing computers, samplers, synthesizers, various acoustic instruments, and found sounds, he has created everything from deep, minimal house and techno to dense, dissonant noise collage. His live performances have taken place at festivals, museums, and night clubs in more than 20 countries on four continents.
About Kit Clayton:
Kit Clayton is a basement freak. With little sunlight and musty air, there he spends long days and late nights staring endlessly into the 1024 by 768 pixel grid, toggling the monitor switch back and forth between computers, between operating systems, drifting between work and music. He forgets which of these similar activities he is currently engaged in, as his work is typically constituted by typing line after line of code, and his music is manipulating row after row of digital audio tracks. An embarrassingly digital life, not untypical in our unfortunate age of technological dependence. Somehow sad, but nonetheless beyond the point of judgement. It's all he knows, and rather than being a soulless, sterile life, it is an environment which encourages his emotional expression.
From this hole, he has poured himself into music for labels such as cytrax, delay, drop beat, mille plateaux, parallel, plug research, phthalo, ~scape, and vertical form. From minimal techno to melancholic dub to structured noise, Kit consistently abuses technology, manipulating sounds in otherworldly ways, following an old tradition of dub production. Occasionally he leaves his basement only to find himself at odds with the world around him. Unable to behave himself in public, he unavoidably causes more trouble than intended. This is true in both daily life and public performances. If not behind the turntables, Kit plays his laptop--umbilical cord to his basement womb. Improvisation through soundfile manipulation / recombination, granular synthesis, feedback chains, and other digital noisemaking methods, his live music is a scattered exploration of sound rather than a consistent recreation of his recorded music.
Together with friends dj jasper and dj tang, Kit operates cytrax and delay record labels which continue to spill the messy contents of California techno all over the dance floor. With minimal, noisy, post-processed music more suited for other music geeks than the drug happy club kid, they occupy a strange space within what might appear to be an increasingly conservative world of bang bang techno. And causing even more trouble, Kit and Sue Costabile operate orthlorng musork, a label which seeks to be defined only in its deviance to musical norms. An outlet for marginalized music, it doesn't aim for continuity, but rather a divergent path of sounds and structures unwelcome in the status quo. Busy little bee, kit also works as a computer programmer for cycling '74, the company responsible for max/msp, a flexible environment for custom midi and dsp applications.
