This event took place at the Tenderloin Museum on October 19, 2023 and explores the work of disco producer and electronic music pioneer Patrick Cowley, featuring Josh Cheon of Dark Entries Records in conversation with Maurice Tani, a prolific singer-songwriter who was an early and frequent Cowley collaborator and bandmate.
*
Cowley’s chart-topping collaborations with Sylvester such as “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” immortalized the “San Francisco Sound” and illustrate the indelible influence of queer artists and club culture on the evolution of electronic dance music. He had a knack for creating up-tempo, “top-of-the-night” tracks meant to peak the energy of a room–”Hi-NRG” music–but Cowley’s output was quite varied, ranging from art songs to porno soundtracks and synthy ad-spots. While sonically adventurous, Cowley possessed a prodigious musicality that empowered him to thread new and experimental sounds into sinewy, euphoric tracks that not only transformed the dancefloor but also the future of pop music.

Cheon’s Tenderloin-based independent label Dark Entries Records has been instrumental in illuminating the richness and complexity of Cowley’s artistic legacy: over the past 15 years, the label has put out a series of reissue and archival Cowley releases replete with extensive liner notes and interviews. Join us for an evening celebrating this essential queer San Francisco artist on what would have been Cowley’s 73rd birthday.

“Böring” is song by Icelandic band Q4U originally released on their debut 12″ EP in 1982, and now re-issued on the compilation “Q1 Deluxe Edition 1980-1983” by Dark Entries Records in April 2013.
Video created by Emmanuella Zachariou

Q4U was born the winter of 1980-1981 in Reykjavík, inspired by the British punk movement. It’s original members were Elínborg Halldórsdóttir (Ellý) (vocals), Berglind Garðarsdóttir (Linda) (vocals), Steinþór Stefánsson (guitar), Gunnþór Sigurðsson (bass), Helgi (drums) and Már (synthesizer). Helgi and Már soon left the band and Helgi was replaced by Kormákur Geirharðsson (Kommi) on the drums. By early 1982 they self-released a full length cassette, “Skaf Í Dag” and appeared in the documentary “Rokk í Reykjavík,” which showcased the Icelandic punk scene. This version of the band ended and only two members continued on. In the summer of 1982 Ellý and Gunnþór recruited Óðinn Guðbrandsson (guitar) and Árni Daníel (synthesizer) from the band Taugadeildin. Their drummer was replaced by a Roland TR-808 drum machine they named “Elísabet II”. signaling a change in the group’s sound toward synthesizer-driven post punk. In August 1983 Q4U reinstated Kormákur to record a final set of demos and then called it quits.
This compilation collects 16 songs from 1980-1983. SIde A features the original six songs from the “Q1″ EP, plus 2 songs from the “Rokk í Reykjavík” soundtrack. Side B collects 4 demos from 1982 and 4 demos from 1983, all presented on vinyl for the first time ever. Q4U began with a stylish, aggressive punk image before experimenting with drum machines and synthesizers, which almost nobody did in Reykjavík at the time. The later sound had gothic leanings,often compared with Siouxsie and the Banshees and Xmal Deutschland. Their body of work is united by the powerful vocals of Ellý, who mostly sings in Icelandic about controversial, political experiences, much like Ari Up of The Slits.
All songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The vinyl comes housed in a full color jacket using the original artwork from the “Q1″ EP. Each LP includes a double sized fold-out poster with lyrics, photos and drawings by the band plus a Q4U sticker! 30 years after their break-up Q4U are finally getting the vinyl reissue treatment they deserve, shedding a light on this pre-Riot grrrl act, more relevant today than ever.

“Silhouette” is a song from the debut vinyl EP by Bézier released by Dark Entries Records in August 2013. Bézier is the moniker of all-live-analog electronic wizard Robert Yang from San Francisco. Enchanted by the Cybernetic Broadcasting System (CBS), Robert started DJing as Robot Hustle, joining the Honey Soundsystem collective in 2007. Robert writes hooks, patterns and melodies in an automatic, stream of consciousness fashion. Memory and nostalgia play a big part in constructing his music.
“Ensconced” is the follow up to Bezier’s debut cassette, released in 2012 on Break-Up records. The tile relates to themes of comfort and safety as well as complacency and entrapment. Influences range from the futuristic landscape of Syd Mead to the melodic energy of Patrick Cowley and the subdued, hidden motifs of My Bloody Valentine’s “Loveless.” Bézier blends elements of Hi-NRG and dark dance to drive the mysterious underwater instrumentals of “Ensconced.” Bezier’s studio set up includes a variety of vintage Roland and Korg synthesizers as well as the Italo Disco favorite LinnDrum.
