SF's afro-techno duo Blaktroniks incites the crowd tonight at Riot, the Top's new Thursday weekly of regressive house and classic techno. Ensconced behind banks of gear ó laptops, CD mixers, effects units, sequencers, and black boxes of uncertain provenance but decidedly intense impact ó Blaktroniks' Badi and Edd Dee Pee turn out unstable breakbeats and burnished future soul that casts its Hydra-headed gaze toward Detroit, Berlin, London, and Oakland. Tonight's rare performance celebrates the release of Blaktroniks' new EP, This Is Your Drug on Brains. Residents Jonah Sharp (Reflective) and Monty Luke (Justice League, Imperial Dub) keep the Molotov fuse burning all night. (PS)
