Live @ Planet Synth: Dark Side (08.16.23)

I am a longtime dance music fan, DJ, and synthesizer player, vocalist and producer who got started in Bristol, England making music in the late 1990’s with the names Dryad, and AZ9 in collaboration with Mat Benfield. 
We performed and recorded experimental electronica and toured the West Coast of United States with Spiral Tribe and S.P.A.Z. Collective. 
Since moving back to California in 2003 I have hosted and been a guest on radio shows, and performed at live events. It’s my privilege to to be part of the global dance music community.

DJ K'chn has been in love with music since he was young. He loves the way music is composed of so many different layers and how DJs can interweave those layers together to create something truly magical. When he's performing for live audiences, he loves the rush of energy that comes from lifting up the crowd and feeling their energy in return. It's a symbiotic relationship that keeps him going night after night.

His favorite genre of music is funky house, but he also loves classic songs reworked in a modern style. And when it comes to playing music, he's not afraid to get loose with the guidelines. He'll play everything from classical to grunge to rock to Brit pop, and he's always looking for new and exciting ways to keep the crowd moving.

When it comes to creating a setlist, DJ K'chn takes a more laissez-faire approach. He'll start with a crawl through whatever he's been into in the past few days, maybe throw in some older tunes, and then select 10-16 tracks to play. From there, he lets the music take him where it will, always listening to himself and feeling out the crowd to see what's working and what's not.

But for DJ K'chn, music isn't just about performing on stage. He believes that live music is an essential part of any community, and he wants to see every local venue that can host live music packed from Thursday to Sunday. These are the places where people can come together, share their love of music, and grow as a community. It's all about getting to know your neighbors and friends while having a great time and enjoying some amazing tunes.

So if you're looking for a DJ who's not afraid to break the rules and get the party started, look no further than DJ K'chn. With his infectious energy and love of music, he's sure to keep you moving all night long.

Curbdog (aka Mr. Chris) is an empath/lightworker and prolific maker of seamless mixes, each one of them made from the heart. He crosses many genres, smoothly moving from techno to house to hip hop and back again to name a few. Music is his motivator and his passion. His music he believes will bring us all together or at least make you shake your booty.

He has DJ'd at venues around the SF Bay Area, including The Endup, 7th West, Dada Bar, OMG, Mars Bar, Edinburgh Castle, and F8.

DJ Cira tastefully blends many flavors of house and techno with a keen ear for infectious, body moving grooves. Based out of San Francisco, she frequently performs for promoters and collectives around the Bay Area and can be found working the decks at iconic clubs such as 1015 Folsom, Monarch, The Great Northern, and Public Works.

Known for her dynamic stage presence and ability to inspire crowds, Cira started DJing in 1998 after being immersed in the early American rave scene. As a result, her sets showcase a vast knowledge of dance music drawing from a diverse collection that spans over 30 years. She has since shared the stage with international headliners from Purple Disco Machine and Franc Moody to house legends Braxe & Falcon and Doc Martin. Fusing technical mastery with ecstatic energy, DJ Cira has become a staple of the San Francisco underground scene.
