Events to Love: Forward & Public Works Present - Maceo Plex, Robag Wruhme, and Adnan Sharif

This coming Friday, May 27, the folks with Forward are bringing some very excellent house music to San Francisco’s Public Works. Featuring sets from Maceo Plex, Robag Wruhme, and Forward’s own Adnan Sharif, the night looks very promising. You can purchase tickets (for $10, plus service fee—a total steal) via Eventbrite. For more on the featured artists (and a bit of listening homework), keep reading.

Maceo Plex (aka Maetrik) has been largely unavoidable on the dancefloor following the release of this moniker’s first album, Life Index, on Crosstown Rebels in February. His ubiquitous single, “Vibe Your Love”, has landed on so many mixes and DJ charts it borders on absurd, but it’s praise that comes very well-earned. Below you’ll find a preview of his album as well as his most recent (and mind-blowingly good) mix for Crosstown Rebels.

Robag Wruhme (aka Gabor Schablitzki) has been a consistent player in the push for bringing beautifully-crafted house and techno to a wide audience. His most recent album, Thora Vukk, has received high praise from well beyond just the electronic music community—and of course is quite the favorite around these parts. You can read more about his album here, and be sure to check out his most recent mix out on Kompakt, titled Wuppdeckmischmampflow, which you can purchase via Beatport. And if you’re still craving a brief preview, check out his track, “Pnom Gobal” below.
