about

"Knitworks... I’ve the worst memory about things I care about and a very good one concerning mundane things. I’ve a folder of fliers etc. from which I could assemble a cogent timeline but a fuzzier reverie feels truer.

I joined to a stream of electronic music nights prior and to come my own take – Knitworks – after participating in many in one form or another formerly including one-off and reoccurring nights at Club 6, the Lipo Lounge, 222 Club, wherever those 40oz nights were, that place in Albany, a spot on Geary… most of these places are closed now, some even closed then reopened under new names or the same name only to close again. Club nights (and, as often it seems clubs) are like fireworks, flashing into existence and fading over time. Like many such stories, Knitworks arose from someone invited me to play their night at Koko Cocktails on Geary in San Francisco and a perhaps inebriated chat with the bartender leading to a request: could I put together my own evening? An evening which turned into a monthly – one that I loved dearly until it ended when the bar itself closed.

Knitworks came out of a need for a night with zero potential for crossover appeal to a general public (though random attendees trying to simply have a drink were caught up now and then), electronic music with zero potential for serious dancing though eruptions of such activity also sprung up, now and then. Neither completely experimental nor fully functional as dance music, these nights allowed for artists to share sounds freshly made perhaps the week/nigh-of with a like-minded community of makers and adventurous listeners. I dj’d a ton at these things and I felt a pressure to keep digging month after month for the newest sounds, for tracks which bristled at the borders of genre and sub-genre. And this pressure to surprise was reflected in the music the countless artists performed month after month.

Too many memories. So much music. Music and beer. But mainly music. I miss it."
