Vague Terrain

A San Francisco party free of limitations in tempo, boundary and style. Brought to you by DJ CZ, YNV, and Elexos. A different kind of club.

"The urban landscape is scattered with ambiguous sites; places in which architecture and landscape don’t mesh, where the space is in some way odd, leftover, unresolved, indefinable …

They seem almost like mistakes that were never erased from the landscape, left to remain unseen, incoherent. Only describable by what they are not; only defined by what is beside them. They are the form of absence …

The value of these sites is in their vagueness; they serve as reminders that the urban landscape is never essentially coherent."

— Sarah Ferreter / Elusive Sites, "Terrain Vague"

the details:

December 1 marks our 50th party … and for the time being, it will be our last. we’re trying something different: we’re starting early at 7PM, and we’re bringing in our friend and talented chef Dario Barbone, who runs AURORA ALIMENTARI on Potrero Hill, an Italian deli-and-more, for DINNER & A DANCE.

from 7pm-9pm, we’re serving a delicious meal (veg and non-veg options available!) prepared by Aurora, with tunes selected by VT resident Elexos. PLEASE NOTE: food will be available by PRESALE ONLY to ensure accurate prep.

at 9pm we move into our usual club night, featuring a live set by LATER VERSION followed by an extended set by ARTHUR, bringing selections of vintage dub, roots reggae, dubstep, and breakbeats all the way from Berlin.

as we come to the close of our monthly series, we owe endless gratitude to all the artists that joined us over the years (swipe for A-Z) and especially all the patrons that supported and danced with us. we’d love to see you for the final sendoff. see you there!

Vague Terrain

Vague Terrain is a club night in San Francisco run by resident DJs CZ, Elexos, and YNV.

Serving up a highly danceable blend of slow-mo techno, tropical biorhythms, confused breakbeats, industrial-strength ambient, sloppy dub, post-punk kosmische, IDM, EBM, and more, VT focuses on an eclectic strain of uncommon sounds not found on most North American dancefloors.

Each month, resident analog video artist YNV presents a highly unique, warped VHS-inspired collage that will stimulate your mind.
