A globe-spanning lineup and Temple’s booming sound system celebrate the ethos of three famous cities with New York (tech-hop, electroclash, breaks), Paris (electro, house, techno) and London (dirty world breaks, bhangra, and drum & bass). Featured in this evening-long blend of styles and cultures will be some of the world’s most acclaimed talent, including Diplo, DJ Rekka, Pharrell (Fluokids), and Nick Catchdubs. Joining them is a wide array of San Francisco’s most adventurous Djs, including Richie Panic (Frisco Disco), Motion Potion (the Fringe), Janaka Selekta (Dhamaal), Miss Toats and Richard Oh?! (Big Stereo) Eric Sharp (Rock-It Science) and Temple’s residents Paul Hemming, 2 Cents (Compression), Durben, Jaswho?, Tone & Destro. With an all-star lineup of eclectic non-commercial dance music, and a reasonable New Year’s ticket price ($65 general admission), Metro-Tech is an event not to be missed as we journey into 2008.
Diplo (Fools Gold, Philadelphia – www.myspace.com/diplo): There are few DJs or producers on planet earth who have accomplished as much in as little time as Wes Pentz. From the art-scene at the Guggenheim in New York, to the bullet-riddled favelas of Rio di Janeiro and the sweat-soaked streets of Bombay and Bangladesh, Diplo has redefined the concept of “world music”. His merger of electronic backbeats, international rhythms, obscure influences and uncompromising vocals defined a sound, a style, and wildly successful series of releases known as Hollertronix. He spent years circling the globe with London superstar MC M.I.A. in a collaboration that broke down genre walls and dropped political bombs. He is credited with bringing Brazil’s Baile Funk sound to the US, reworking “Dirty South instrumentality into high art” (Now Magazine) and challenging every commonly held notion about Djs and producers. Recently he co-founded the Fools Gold label with Nick Catchdubs as a vehicle for further aural mayhem. He estimates that his own tracks and reworks comprise more than 80% of his sets, and the energy he puts into these tracks is only matched by the energy he unleashes while performing them. On New Years Eve at Temple, he will play an exclusive 2 hour set beginning at the stroke of midnight.
