This week @ KILLSWITCH: Rich Korach (Paxahau), Matt Wilder (Afterglow), & Javaight!
===============================================================
About Rich Korach:
Rich Korach discovered underground electronic music in 1994, finally encountering the sound for which he had been searching. A native to the Detroit area, Rich witnessed sets from some of the early pioneers of techno. Namely, Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, John Acquaviva and Stacey Pullen. Drawing influence from Detroit’s elite, Rich became an active DJ in 1997. His sets are characterized by seamless transitions between elements of House and Techno, creating new subgenres with every mix.
In 2004 Rich became one of a few select Paxahau resident DJs while conjointly leading the merchandise divisions for Paxahau, DEMF and D Records. Being a resident Paxahau DJ gave Rich greater opportunity to display his unique capacity for DJ’ing, earning opening sets for such luminaries as: Josh Wink, Michael Mayer, Mathew Jonson and Richie Hawtin. Rich consistently evolves his sets, incorporating the latest effects components to create buildups, rearrange sounds, and make his performances that much more unique. His precision, timing, and technical aptitude have acquired both national and international attention resulting in spots at: the Detroit Electronic Music Festival(2005 and 2008), Ibiza, Berlin, and all across the U.S.
About Matt Wilder:
Born and raised in Dayton Ohio (affectionately referred to as the "little d"), Matt Wilder has been actively involved in music for the majority of his life. While classical music and jazz trumpet dominated his grade school years, his discovery of electronic music in the early 90s changed his outlook on music forever. Prior to his recent arrival to San Francisco, Matt Wilder was an important part of the small yet passionate techno community in Cincinnati Ohio, with several performances at "Bang!" and underground parties in Chicago with local greats there such as Sassmouth.
Drawing inspiration from everything from IDM to techno to funky minimal house, Matt Wilder has worked to define his sound as an intricate yet driving combination of banging techno and glitchy minimal with a sprinkle of funk.
