future/now 2007

After 2 years and 10 parties at Off Limits, we decided to look for another venue to take future/now to a new level. Thanks to new downtown Chico club Lost on Main (@319 Main Street, Chic), we are starting a new series of parties for 2007. Expect more amazing forward thinking electronic music: retro, house, ghetto and techno, full on visuals projection and costumes.

This year we plan to bring in some more live electronic acts and out of town djs along with local residents. And as always, shows are recorded for your listening enjoyment.

current INFO
September 28 - Friday @ Lost on Main will be our debut fall party with local talents: Logan 5, Anamnesis, Symbio & The abstract_Terrorist.

October 26 - Friday @ Lost on Main will be our Halloween Bash!
We got our first really out of town DJ lined up for our October Halloween party that you do not want to miss! Every year the halloween party seems to be the one everyone comes out for, all decked out in crazy outfits and a giddy smile! We have phenominal house diva Lillyanne coming up from Los Angeles to play 2 hours of cutting edge deep funky house music for us.


who WE ARE
Stephen Holland-Chang and Anna Ramie run the production crew known as future/now. Anna handles mostly artist/djs bookings, venue relationships, design and decorations while Stephen assists with artists/djs, provides sound reinforcement, produces visuals, flyers and also djs. We love throwing parties we want to go to and that's pretty much it.


resident DJS/ARTISTS

symbio
Been Djing for 3-5 years and involved with this type of music since the early 90s. His sets are very much about getting people on the dance floor and plays a lot of the west coast style house and British tech-house currently being spun at small bars in SF and London.  Generally spinning a variety of genres between funky house, disco, glitchy tech-house, micro house, techno and electro-clash/house. Stephen will play what's accessible but that people haven't heard before and work in more challenging music as people begin to dance. He created and manages the www.530techno.org website for the electronic music community around here. Some labels played: Get Physical, Systematic, Utensil, Low Down, Tango, Poker Flat, Spectral, Aroma, Kompakt, Dirty Bird, Dubsided, Free Range etc...
 
The abstract_terrorist
Chico resident and owner of
www.vinyljunkie.com, a company specializing in selling hard to find vinyl records. He is also an experienced dj under the name of The abstract_terrorist who plays a very eclectic mix of music. From the velvet underground to rare early 90's house music, jazz, dub, and my bloody valentine mixed in for good measure, Sean is one of the most exciting and versatile djs around and will appeal to a wide audience. He knows how to get the crowd dancing.
 
Nemo
Tech-house junkie. Expect things deep, intricate, psychedelic and made for the dance floor.
