Nite Trax: Slow Hands drops the BPM  Bonjour, Slow Hands  The
singular DJ speaks of slow house, fraud players, and the pop
future of dance music  "Oh, the slo-mo thing. I guess I can see
how people came to associate me with that." DJ Slow Hands,
a.k.a. New York's Ryan Cavanagh, was playing down his status as
poster boy for the slow house movement.   A couple of years ago,
some DJs, mainly from the East Coast, started slowing things
down to a sultry 100 beats per minute from the standard, boppy
120 BPM. And Slow Hands -- a fast talker, I learned, in wide-
ranging phone interview anticipating his appearance this Fri/16
(9 p.m., $15 before midnight, $20 after. Beat Box 314 11th St.,
SF., and Facebook) -- came to the fore, with a dynamic
combination of disco-dubby aesthetics, a willingness to let
songs breathe a little, and an impeccable instinct for track
selection. Does it hurt things that's he's rather dreamy in the
brains and looks department? It certainly does not.  Fabric
