People

Founders, residents, collaborators, and the community around BREAD.


Founding core

  • Cage A (Kanav Jain)
  • Prawns

Their early goal, based on archive notes, was to make space in San Francisco for riskier and less-commercial club sounds.

Expanded resident circle

Recurring names across archive notes and public traces include:

  • Adam Kraft
  • Gewzer
  • Botaz
  • TF1000 / Tranespotting
  • Exteeng
  • Additional era-specific collaborators reflected in flyers, streams, and radio episodes

Handles and aliases

Names vary by platform, including Instagram bios and SoundCloud profiles. Together they show a roster that changed over time.

For profile links, see Links.

Network effects

BREAD operated as more than a party series:

  • A booking bridge between online music subcultures and local dance floors.
  • A local incubator linked to later projects by resident artists.
  • A radio/streaming node between in-person events and distributed communities.

What still needs confirmation

  • Founding names and the core resident structure are currently marked strong/user-archive until line-by-line sources are attached.
  • Later-career claims for individuals should stay open unless directly tied to reliable references in this repo.
