PARAMETER MAY 14-17 2026 Soundsystem culture in the heart of SF, headlining names from across the globe, top to bottom. Including left-field, breakbeat, techno, experimental, idm, bass music, and all the blended margins between and our own @riflefeet performing Saturday. Tickets https://ra.co/events/2315644 After being day 1 parameter dancefloor junkies and bringing an early version of our rig to F8 for a series of Parameter events in the 2015-17 range, we joined forces in Nov of 2024 hosting @sully.e64 @carre__carre @a_q_u_a_r_i_a_n in an SF basement. Underground soundsystem/free party culture coupled with Parameter's visionary, paradigm shifting bookings, hinted at a new era of boundary destroying audio-fidelty and body music centric dancefloors, designed for transcendence. Followed up by acclaimed weekender collaborations at Public Works May '25, October '25 at the Loom, and a one off showcase Nov '25 for Timedance 10yr.... the Bay Area has emerged as a global talisman for cultivating dancefloors honoring artists inhabiting the creative precipice of communicating through physical sound. Next weekend's events include Fri-Sat in 3 rooms with our rig, @n.a_sound @knowaudio and @neptune.audio as well as Thursday events at @grayareaorg and sunday at @publicworkssf marking 4 days unlike any seen before in SF. This event is 100% independently funded, envisioned, and created by our local arts community who share the Parameter vision. This is in stark contrast to the vast majority of other major events of this kind owned by, and catering to, the profits of large corporations rather than solely build for the community experience. Your support and attendance makes this possible. If you believe in this mission, join us for this monumental moment. MUSIC AND DANCE ARE LANGUAGES OF FREEDOM ~23~

We're one week away from Parameter 2026. Tickets for Friday and Saturday are still on track to sell out, secure them now. Passes with Thursday and Sunday entry are fully sold out. Thank you to everyone for the support, we can't wait to see you! Ticket and info links in our bio.

~ sharing the closing set which I played for @parameter_sf @__endzeit at Oakland/San Francisco 2025 ~ It was one of these trips where I felt that the crowd was open to anything that I would bring to the table - I felt free to play any style I wanted and to create a huge palette of dynamics. It was pure pleasure!! these kind of moments are the reason why I love my job. Thank you SF crowd for being so incredible 💗💗💗 And of course thank you Parameter and Endzeit for putting your full trust in my music over and over again 🙏🫂

Announcing our closing night for Parameter 2026, a special collaboration with Endzeit and Samurai Music, featuring: Reeko Presha b2b Aerae Feral (live) Timnah Kudeki b2b Torsion We’ll be returning to Public Works on Sunday, May 17th to close out the weekend, with two rooms of music and a massive lineup. Samurai Music is owned and directed by Presha. Since the label’s launch in 2007, it has grown steadily into one of the most respected and consistently high-quality labels on the international drum & bass scene. Samurai releases have always been distinctive for their high-quality artistic direction and highly collectible vinyl packages, which are a vital component of what makes the label unique, along with the essential music contained in every carefully selected release, whether from a newcomer or an established artist. Presha will be playing b2b with Aerae, an up-and-coming French artist who has already had standout releases on Samurai, QEONE, and Annulled. We welcome Reeko for his first US appearance in over a decade. One of the most versatile producers on Samurai and the founder of Mental Disorder Records, his impressive discography spans over 20 years, multiple genres, and aliases, including Architectural. Italian producer Feral joins us for a live set. His work is rooted in shamanic percussion and the sound research of the Roman scene, with a dozen releases on Hypnus and recent works on NON Series and Mental Modern. Timnah has been developing her practice since the age of seventeen, when she began playing in squats and industrial spaces around her native Basel. A founding member of Amenthia Recordings, her sets span techno, experimental, and ambient, seamlessly navigating between half-step and 4/4 psychedelia. She is one of Europe’s most distinctive selectors, and this will be her first San Francisco appearance. Rounding out the lineup are Endzeit co-founders Kudeki and Torsion, playing an extended opening set together. Extended weekend passes with Sunday entry have sold out. Please contact Endzeit ([email protected]) to be added to the waitlist for single-day Sunday tickets. Weekend passes for Friday and Saturday are still available.

ｓｔｒａｔｕｓ ｉｎ ｔｈｅ ｖｏｉｄ is a two-night journey to innerspace during Parameter 2026. On May 15 + 16 at SVN West, from midnight til 6 a.m., we invite listeners to join us on a deep horizontal sonic trip. Ten artists chart a course through abstract, atmospheric, inward-gazing sound engineered for abyssal depth and somatic drift. ＦＲＩＤＡＹ TOPDOWN DIALECTIC (live) UPSAMMY (live) NOSEDRIP LLLOYD DJ CZ ＳＡＴＵＲＤＡＹ IMAGINARY SOFTWOODS (live) TIN MAN (live) E WATA (live) CIEL MILANA ｓｔｒａｔｕｓ ｉｎ ｔｈｅ ｖｏｉｄ is a special Parameter 2026 co-production between stratus, an event series dedicated to horizontal soundsystem music outside of club spaces, and The Void, spatial artists and production designers whose work has appeared within numerous Bay Area rave spaces. Our sonic offering includes a full-spectrum 10-point soundsystem by Neptune Audio, plus a 400 sq. ft. tactile bass-responsive floor by Crescendo Research. Crescendo's bass-responsive tiles transform the atmospheric music experience, allowing audiences to fully grasp the kinetic potential of cloud-form sound. A team of artists, designers, and makers will transform the space into a bio-organic interface layer built for total immersion, whether standing, sitting, or lying down.
