Happening in San Francisco at Public Works tonight. I don’t think we need to tell you this one’s unmissable, but just in case you needed the reminder, tickets are still on sale.
Mix of the Moment: Antacid | Fire Ball Live

For the lover of Acid (Acid House, Acid Techno, and pretty much all its derivatives), the properly-executed hardware set is the holy grail of performance experiences. It’s watching an act who has emptied the near-entire contents of his studio onto a stage in order to create something entirely new for the present audience—using only his bare hands. But seriously. All dramatics aside, dance music and improvisation rarely meet in a live context, making this particular mix, by the SF Bay/ Santa Cruz duo, Antacid, such a special treat. If you haven’t ever heard Acid done right before, this is an excellent introduction to the genre. Lovers of Ceephax and Bang Face especially, this one’s right up your alley.

In the meantime, you can catch their next performance on June 16, when they’ll be opening for Luke Vibert at San Francisco’s Public Works. For more info about that event, go here.
Going to Communikey
Today I’m leaving to go to Boulder, CO for the Communikey Festival. Am I excited? Very much so.
I’ve the very good fortune to be traveling with my friends Antacid, who will be performing live at Saturday night’s event, All Night Long, along with Spacetime Continuum with Cheap and Deep, Levon Vincent, and John Templeton.
Meanwhile, the rest of the festival lineup looks equally excellent, and the program guide is well worth a perusal if you live in the Boulder area and are interested in sound design workshops, interesting films, beautiful interactive art, and fun electronic music.

Seeing your homies tear a room up with a live set = GOLD.
Many thanks to @housemonkey for catching this one.
