SAN FRANCISCO - from SF Bay Guardian MagazineSubterranean homesickness - Where did the underground go? Seems like as electronic music drifts further into the mainstream, it gets harder to find that inspired edge the San Francisco scene once straddled. If you're looking for mind-twisting innovation and a grin-inducing vibe, one place where you can consistently kick your feet up is the LowPro Lounge. For over two years the club night has broken barriers and moved asses in an effort to build a unique and enduring musical community. Combining on-the-fly P.A. production, turntablism, and instrumental improvisation, the LowPro experience is never predictable and always stimulating. This is the only free electronic music weekly in the Richmond District, and it offers alternative beverages (organic juices and yerba maté) and tech-heavy live video mixing. Tonight's gig features Jtonal, scratchmaster Citizen Ten, and guitarist Peter D'Elia dropping experimental hip-hop, James Christopher mixing dub and drum 'n' bass, Majitope blending house and breakbeat, and D7's Ben Sheppee on visual design. 9:30 p.m., 540 Club, 540 Clement, S.F. Free. (415) 414-4795, www.lowprolounge.com. (Jonathan Zwickel)
