Marco Carola’s First EVER party in San Francisco!!!
Posted by: | Comments
BASE @ Vessel is known for bringing in the biggest and the best in proper house, techno, and techouse the last couple years but there has always been a hole in the line-up, Italian “MASTER”, the one and only Marco Carola…
But that is about to change and San Francisco is about to get it’s first live taste of Marco at BASE’s Halloween party on 10.27.11. Marco Carola in SF, finally!!!
And now for some boilerplate promo from the promoter:
DJ Marco Carola Marco Carola is the recognized global ambassador of Italian techno. It’s a position he treats with the utmost care and respect—and one that stands him among the hallowed company of contemporary techno’s leading practitioners. Hailing from Napoli in the south of the country, Marco was among a small group of DJs and promoters who quite literally built the city’s scene from scratch back in the early-’90s. In 1995′s First Planet EP he became the first Neopolitan artist to commit techno to vinyl, paving the way for an entire generation of producers. These days Marco is a mainstay of Richie Hawtin’s Minus and Plus 8 labels, who, much like Marco himself, are one of the driving forces behind techno’s permeation of the worldwide dance scene.

No matter what sounds you profess to be your music of choice, chances are, that at some point over the last five years, you will have got your rocks off to Matt Edwards.
As Matthew E he fashions club-based, dancefloor slayers. Under that aegis he’s updated the classic Chi-town, jackin’ sound beloved of house aficionados and layered it with fractured funk, belligerent, oddball beats and mechanical soul.
If Matthew E is all about the Saturday Night Fever, then, by contrast, Rekid is the slower, more deliberate, rhythmical funk of the mid-week mayhem. Its well-intentioned muscular intensity making it perfect soulful sustenance.
Quiet Village is something else all together. A collaboration with long-time musical sparring partner Joel Martin (a vinyl freak, like Mr Edwards, who works in esteemed auction house Christie’s pop department), it’s sample-based music which veers from drawn out disco-not-disco delirium to evocative, under-stated soundscapes.
Sea Devils – you keeping up at the back? – is undeniable electronic pop brilliance. Working with Tom from Cagedbaby, it’s the least niche of Matt’s projects and thanks to Sea Devils alluring pop dance grooves they’ll no doubt be shagging the upper reaches of the hit parade sometime soon.

Kontrol with THE ORB????? It’s true!
Posted by: | Comments
That is right, not only is Orbital coming to San Francisco this month but Thomas Fehlmann of THE ORB is playing at the best monthly event in Northern California, [KONTROL] @ the End Up, tonight (April 3rd, 2010). It’s really weird to me, having half of The Orb playing in SF for what must be the first time in well over a decade (Gathering???) , and having it be a deejay set at Kontrol no less. I don’t know if Thomas is touring to promote his amazing new artist album or Kontrol just pulled out all the stop to make this booking happen but I can’t wait, another long night/morning with Kontrol on that End Up soundsystem!!! With The Orb no less!!!!
Take notice Sacramento clubs! No, we’re not expecting a booking like Thomas Fehlmann, but some nice and innovative club nights in the capital city would be nice.
Orbital at the Warfield April 16th, 2010

It’s been a long time coming, and thank God the time has come, as the amazing electronic duo Orbital is about to put on a great show before their Coachella outing. Coming this April 16th Orbital will be at the Warfield in San Francisco!
It’s going to be a great show at a fantastic up close and personal venue!
This Thursday in SF: Deepchild
Posted by: | CommentsThis Thursday, March 11th, the Revival crew is taking a trip to Phonic at San Francisco’s legendary End Up to party with our friend Deepchild. Many of you were here when Revival Nightlife and Mixture brought you Deepchild @ Faces last March and, because no Sacramento club will be bringing him back this time around, we’re going to travel to the storied SF nightclub for a night of proper clubbing with Deepchild and a capable supporting cast featuring Worthy and J Philp.
The End Up (for those that don’t know) is located at the corner of 6th and Harrison in San Francisco, CA.
The Marco Carola Event @ Vessel SF has been cancelled.
Posted by: | CommentsNOTE: This post was for the cancelled Marco Carola event in 2010. The 10.27.11 party @ Vessel with Marco is confirmed and on (and we’ll be there).
We recent found out that the Marco Carola party at Vessel SF has been canceled and no one seems to know who the original promoter was and what happened. The Facebook event page and the event page on SonicLiving.com (how we found out about it) has been removed.
Vessel has confirmed 100% that this event is not happening. HOWEVER Audiofly IS scheduled to play at Vessel on March 18th and when they came to play in Sacramento last year they were phenomenal. Marco is our favorite, but Audiofly is dope! Might still be worth the trip from Sac…
