Last years Hotel California rooftop party was so off the hook that we had to do it again.  This year we are having it at the Phoenix Hotel courtyard, pool side.  There will be beats, BBQ and dancing out under the sun.  Dirty Birds jPhlip from Berlin will be leading the pack of SF veteran underground DJs.  Dont miss this one as it is close to selling out. The Hotel California concept started back in 2008-09 at an Underground in Soma.  It was a two story building that resembled a minature party hotel.  Like all other undergrounds it got busted, surrounded by cop cars one night like we were a part of Al Capone's crew.  Then last year we brought Hotel California back to a roof top of a hotel in the Tenderloin.  The Hotel California roof top party was a great success.  However the neighbors did not allow us to continue the party.  So this year we are at the Phoenix Hotel where we hosted parties back in 2006.  With a solid lineup of local heroes... jPhlip from the Dirty Bird crew along with M3, Solar, Adnan, Bo and myself.  Grab $15 tickets here and join us for some house music fun under the sun.

Dubfire + Carlo Lio @ RubySkye

Friday March 16th @ RubySkye
With DJs Dubfire, Carlo Lio, ShadwPlay, Rooz

* Grab discounted presale tickets here 

Dont miss Dubfire along with Carlo Lio and ShadwPlay at RubySkye for a special Spundae event this Friday.  Dubfire’s “jet-black, polished-chrome techno” of 2009 harnesses three and a half years of upward momentum, highlighted by notable productions and remixes landing at the top of best of charts and set lists the world over. 2009’s Split the Line [Dubfire Mega Remix], an alchemic symbiosis of Paul Ritch’s Split and Walk the Line, best exemplifies the dark and evocative sound Dubfire has cultivated since embarking on his solo journey. In 2006 - after 15 ground-breaking years topping charts, winning Grammys, and earning acclaim as one-half of legendary electronic partnership Deep Dish - Dubfire returned to his roots: a diverse foundation spanning punk, industrial/new wave, jazz, dub, hip-hop, house and techno. I Feel Speed, his first solo release, is a remake of the classic Love and Rockets track with Dubfire himself on vocals. It marked a musical crossroads in his passage towards a deeper and darker sound. For more info.

BASE Feat. Guy Gerber and Tanner Ross

Thursday March 8th @ Vessel (85 Campton Place) 10pm - 2am
With DJs Guy Gerber and Tanner Ross

This ones going to be a big one! GUY GERBER is one of the most talked about Underground live acts in the industry today.  The Supplement Facts records boss is more adventurous than ever, melding organic with electronic sounds. Meanwhile, he's embarked on his most unexpected project yet: an album with P Diddy, who hired him for some remixes and took him on more permanently after hearing the results. Now the hip-hop icon flies Gerber out to his studio in LA to work, where he gives him “2000% artistic freedom.” The experience has bee transformative.“Something opened my mind out there,” says Gerber, noting how his approach to music has changed. For one, his rock roots are seeping back in; despite being named one of RA's top 10 acts of the year, he's scrapping his laptop for something more “live,” playing bass guitar over drum machines, and remembering the importance of lyrics.  While, TANNER ROSS, fresh out of college, with various musical projects, Tanner set out on a musical mission across the States and beyond, to such meccas of dance music as London's Fabric, and Berlin's Watergate.. With his eyes wide open and finger on the pulse he was soon forming part of a Boston supergroup SECT alongside Soul Clap. Want to see who's going?  Check out the Facebook event page.

Two of Sweden's hard techno DJs are taking the decks at BASE.  Dont miss Adam Beyer and Ida Engberg togther on one night.  Alongside Stockholms Cari Lekebusch, Joel Mull and Jesper Dahlback, Adam Beyer has become synonymous with the techno sound of Sweden, which has quite literally shaken the world since the mid-nineties. From the driving percussive force of his Drumcode label to the more open electronic miasma on his current Truesoul and Mad Eye imprints, Beyer remains one of the biggest and most influential producer/DJs on the planet.  A product of Sweden’s seemingly endless conveyor of techno talent, Ida Engberg has carved herself a career as a DJ/Producer through relentless hard work and passion. Now an internationally recognized talent whose taste for stripped back, sweat on the ceiling tech-house and techno has been the driving force behind a career progression; Ida can boast a growing production catalogue as she continues her elevation through the electronic music ranks.  Want to see who's going?  Check out the Facebook event page.
