As Mochipet, Daly City, Cali's David Y. Wang is a man who wears a
purple dinosaur costume on stage, and cranks out his experimental
dance music with undeniable passion. Having worked with artists like
Spank Rock and Ellen Allien, he's now releasing an album of highly
uncategorizable-but-let's-call-it-hip-hop on his own label. And
tonight he's joining local artist Lusine, crafter of gorgeous ambient
glitch, for Broken Disco's farewell-til-fall soiree. Starting as a
collaboration between four ambitious promoters last April, the
consistently banging party has never been afraid of odd lineups,
opening minds in the process of loosening limbs. Take it from a
temporary Central European resident who's tired of hearing Haddaway
passed off as techno in the clubs: not every major city has such an
exacting finger on dance music's pulse. Seattle's scene is one to be
treasured. Whoop it up, and support BD-associated productions until
their summer siesta is over. With Mochipet, Lusine, Codebase, Recess,
Dr. Mr. M'Chateau, the Googly Jake J. visuals by Killing Frenzy. Chop
