Electro Selectors

The disintegrating musical and social boundaries online may also help explain the uncommon pull that clubs like Frisco Disco and Blow Up continue to have for a range of local subcultures. Vinyl disco tracks and MP3s of Vandalism remixes intersect with live hip-hop and electro dance productions — and, occasionally, performances by local drag talent. It's an unusual dynamic that, as noted by Jason Stinnett, who produces Hot Tub — a local electro-girl rap trio that has performed live sets at both clubs — offers a unique forum for exposure. "Other promoters and bookers started paying more attention to us after Jeff put us on," Stinnett says. "And there aren't a lot of other parties like that; they bring an excitement to the scene that I haven't experienced in a long time."
