I was invited to play at Space Cowboys fundraiser for the "Keep Tahoe Blue" campaign — an event at a local South Lake Tahoe Americal Legion bar, that drew a huge crowd of both locals and SF Bay Area folks. I heard some people even flew out of Florida for that event!

The set was played on the Traktor S5 controller and using the new Traktor Pro 3 software. Three decks were being used most of the time, where Deck C and D were loaded with remix sets made up from some of my favorite minimal techno tracks, adding a deeply punchy techno beat to already high energy house tracks. 
This is why this set will sound like a lot of "boom" :) 

If you listen carefully9, you will probably hear a bunch of tracks off the Whore House label as I am a huge fan of Hoxton Whores.

At some point, I saw people who were sitting by the bar shake their booty in their chairs, and probably spilling their beers :) 

Please leave comments if you listen like it! I would really appreciate it.

Space Cowboys — Shred the Decks

LeftCtrl @ Space Cowboys in South Lake Tahoe

Perpetually in love with life. Pollyanna with an edge and better hair. I hear the music of crickets when I sleep, I dance while doing the dishes. It takes more time, sure, but I have more fun.

I'm not cool at all. I'm just me. It's working :)

A veteran of the SF underground, Kem started rocking underground parties in 1998 and maintained a busy schedule playing regularly at SF venues for many years. His sought-after and innovative style led to gigs in Japan, Australia, Canada, Mexico and cities across the U.S.

Today kem can be heard rocking dance floors at local favorite events such as FnF and Brass Tax (+Unison stream during the pandemic)

LeftCtrl —(also known as PolyGroovers, or DJ Zeel, real name: Konstantin Gredeskoul) started DJ-ing in the Bay Area in 1998, having been inspired and encouraged by @djethan Ethan Miller (FnF, BrassTax) among others. 

Konstantin produces downtempo music as PolyGroovers, (see https://soundcloud.com/polygroovers for more information).

Starting with the underground rave parties where he threw down Detroit Techno on vinyl, LeftCtrl played all over the Bay Area, with additional appearances in the UK, Spain, and Australia. 

He collaborated with @kem, Captain Tinrib, @henry-navarro and many more.

LeftCtrl's DJ sets feature a storyline, harmonic depth, and a smooth and deep, melodic, nearly always syncopated and groovy sound. Konstantin is an obsessively technical mixer, who admits to the most anal-retentive pitch-matching of the mixes, resulting in some of his entire sets played in the same key.

Since about. 2020, LeftCtrl refocused on the composition and production of tracks for the dance floor: house, progressive, and many genre bending tracks. Currently collecting sufficient portfolio for the upcoming releases in yet to be determined label.

Tasteful techno and electro for the discerning listener circa 1994-2006. Buy my music on my Bandcamp! See the link to my Bandcamp site below:
