-Bringing Underground Techno to Sacramento-
With Artists:
Bryan Zentz (Plus 8, Disruptor, Portland)
The most interesting musicians are those who remain constant and true to themselves come what may.
An essential part of the daily ritual, music defines their very existence offering both spiritual and emotional release.
Nevertheless, it’s not always easy to follow your instincts especially when they fall outside the current mainstream
sound but as Bryan Zentz proves, if your hand stays steady and your aim is pure the spotlight will return to you again.
Bryan’s current EP on Plus 8 finds him rolling out on a Richie Hawtin label a full 15 years after the pairs’ first
collaboration. In a sense, it brings his career full circle, it was Hawtin who originally gave Bryan the motivation
and belief to keep going while he was still looking for his first deal and indeed, it all came good in 1994 with a
debut release on the legendary Definitive label. Recording as Barada, classics such as Mathematics and Glue backed
up by the full length album Strategies for a Deeper Design, while other early releases on labels like EXperimental,
Bush and Clashbackk really caught the imagination of the global techno community resulting in remixes for Woody McBride,
Christian Smith, Marco Bailey, Hardcell, Ken Ishii and Tim Xavier (to name a few) and a DJ schedule that’s taken him across the USA, France, Belgium, Australia and Japan

Hi everyone, i'm nate aka dj atlas. this is my first show, and i'm pretty stoked. i saw Bryan Zentz about two months ago at an underground in oakland and he played really fucken good (totally killer party i might add). Pat aka dj mek has been doing stilldream shows for a while and spun off Signal a year or so ago. he recently and asked me to join him and to do more shows. we are working to bringing more techno to sacramento, so this is our first joint venture. i'll post one of my recent mixes here soon and look forward to doing more quality techno events in the future..
best,
nate a...aka atlas

..shows. this word again. to me djing is about providing an environment, or soundscape for people to lose their shit in. some djs are better than others that's why they go higher on the flyer. when we start equating djing to rock concerts, or 'a show' where you go to see someone specifically to stand around and gape, that's when we start missing the point. the point is dancing and you having fun. you, as the participant make the event. i've always believed the point of techno was to make the dj a decentralized figure, that's why there are no vocals or the dj getting on the mic saying how great they are (as if it was a new york style mixtape competition). that's why i don't know what mad mike really looks like. blah, etc.
dancers, give yourself some respect by dancing with your friends. djs, give your dancers some respect by concentrating on their footwork and not yourselves.

i might just have to come up to see my boy, bryan.
i agree with what you are saying Sean, but I think we are more occupied with planning the decorations and lighting for this "event" so that the dancers CAN lose themselves, than with thinking about how to refer to it.
show, party, rave, ho down... theyre all synonymous to me.
hope that some bay people can come out and support. if world class techno isn't enough and a discounted door price might help you decide, send me a PM and we can work something out ;-).
