Even though Club Moniker can still be considered a fledgling addition to the San Francisco underground scene, its residents are by no means new. With their various takeovers at Fault Radio, Hyde FM, and parties throughout the city, the crew hasn’t gone unnoticed for lovers of expansive club music.
Now Club Moniker has established their own label and just released the first of hopefully many dance compilations: MONIKER001. Enjoy squelchy, post-apocalyptic, and industrial rhythms from contributors Pteron, kk. Shucko, and Soeneido, each of them reveling in the liminal spaces of experimental club music. It’s turbulent and virulent, with mentally invigorating techno and familiar jungle beats scratching against spacey, eerie melodies. Not to mention the ultra-clean production designed to grace the low-lit, far-out soundsystems and dancefloors. Zero skips here. Keep your ears to the ground for upcoming parties and radio takeovers.
