Broadcast 16 was a feature with techno producer and DJ Rubidium. As one of the creative forces behind From 0-1 and as new resident DJ at the celebrated Underground SF night Pulse Generator, she is truly a star of the Bay Area’s underground electronic community.

We talked briefly about all of her projects as well as touched on an important conversation: the small growing female presence in club culture. Her intelligence, experience and talent is truly a gift to our community and I thank her for sharing her thoughts with Infinite Beat.

Afterwards, Rubidium also shared an exclusive all-vinyl ambient/experimental DJ set at Chillits, an outdoor event in Mendocino County, Sunday 09/27. With other DJs and live acts performing live in the genres of ambient, experimental, dub and other downtempo sounds, Rubidium performed as she described as “the darkest hour under a full moon…the mix is in the spirit of October: dark, brooding and melancholy.”
