Give me root vegetables, give me hardwood floors, give me '70s film stock, give me thrift-style wool sweaters, give me eco-technology, give me big clubs charging $5 for entry, give me non-gloss paper, give me danceSafe-tested E, give me people playing real instruments.
Real! I think it's the newest trend. Perhaps that's a result of everyone being broke: lack of 9-5, combined with 9/11 and a re-evaluation of priorities. Who knows? But somehow this issue of Buzz ended up focusing on the sultry-flavored, chiller-side of sound. The organic sounding stuff. Speaking of which....

WMC & tropics and no sleep...

I'll need an idea of how many are interested, so please respond here ASAP.

Did someone say they wanted some completely off-the-hook live jazz with hip-hop MCs? You have one more chance to catch the party, Jones!, featuring Alphabet Soup/Broun Felinis and Toph One. It's on Tuesday, January 29, at the Justice League.
Back-at-ya... "Tell Us Your Dream" in the MLK edition last week led to a few responses we'd love to share with you. Keep them coming, we will keep posting them (although we had to edit 'em a bit). Send to I have a dream:
1) I have a dream that everything was legal so people would set up their own personal limitations and morals.
2) I have a dream that major dance clubs stay open till we're ready to move on.
3) I have a dream that that people would stop wasting paper on flyers and send e-mails instead
4) I have a dream that everyone in the world would take E at the same time and play a worldwide game of Frisbee
5) I have a dream that the surface of the earth felt like those blow-up jumpy houses at county fair
Thursday
Event: Passenger
Venue: Skylark
DJ's: Paul Craven, Capital A, Kazu, Takeshi
Music: Future jazz, soul, house
Cover: Free
Apparently, I'm supposed to "bring my open mind and let my spirit fly". That's a lot to ask. How about if I openly drink spirits and mind that my fly is zipped instead? Paul Craven's night of jazzy, percussion-inspired sound is a delightful way to spend Thursday.Event: Bored Collective
Venue: 26 Mix
DJ's: Jonah Sharp, Blacktronics (live)
Music: melodic techno, hip-hop
Cover: $5
Expect silly, obscene, profound, eclectic stories that would only be told at a loft gathering circa 3:30am on a Saturday night before the drugs wear off. We're talking DJs, writers, producers and other professional party people bonding publicly about the alternate Universe known as Clubland. The music is as exceptional as the words. Some say there's a fine line between creativity and self-help. (FYI, if you break up the above sentences correctly -- it makes up nine-line haiku.)Event: n:Code
Venue: DNA Lounge
DJ's: The Fresh Blend, Ritter Gluck, Shane
Music: techno, jungle, industrial
Cover: Free b4 10pm, $5 b4 11pm, $7 after
Techno, jungle and industrial! That's some heavy shit. That's like chocolate and peanut butter! Go on with your bad ass, energetic, Aphex-Twin-dance-music selves.
Friday
Event: De Luxe
Venue: 550 Barneveld
DJ's: Mazi, M3, Laron, N8 Castro, Shane, Samo, Laird, Dawn of Sound, Tom Thump, Efrem, Craig Kuna
Music: deep house, progressive, downtempo
Cover: $15
DJ Mazi is the headliner and since you probably know the other 11 DJs in this lineup, I'm just gonna tell you about him. Mazi is from Chicago: he does more before 10am than most DJs do all day. He remixes, produces and DJs. He's released over 80 records in six years. Expect deep house but not wimpy house, complex drums, heavy bass lines.Event: Smash Celebration for Super Heroes
Venue: Butter
DJ's: Mikecho, Q, Kemek the Dope Computer
Music: techhouse, progressive, new school breaks
Cover: Free
Holy silliness, Batman! Do you know how much I love the sound of this party? Socialmatrix requests that you come as your favorite Superhero. Maybe I'll be "Drunk Girl" and fight off evil with my super-obnoxious comments! The possibilities are endless! So put those tights on and be judged in the best way possible: for a chance to win lift tickets to Sierra Tahoe! Oh, and luckily this is an early thing (6-11pm), when most superheroes have their down-time.Event: Square
Venue: Ruby Skye
DJ's: Andy Caldwell, David Coleman & Sen-sei
Music: house, progressive
Cover: $20
It's Sextet night! I'm not sure what that means actually, but I know Andy Caldwell is the fantastic aural innovator behind Soulstice. I know that David Coleman and Sen-sei are regularly rockin' the dance floor with some serious house, and that if you're looking for a place to have men buy you drinks all night, this is in my Top Five.Event: Bay Area Legends
Venue: Bas
DJ's: DJs Myke One, DJ De', Jah Yzer, DJ Fuze, Papa Joe & Derrick D
Music: hip hop, breaks, soul, reggae
Cover: $10
Yvette and Mass Appeal present hip-hop from some true veterans. I was skeptical for a minute -- the use of the term "legend" should not get tossed around lightly. Slick Rick is a legend, Grandmaster Flash is a legend, but then what does this East Coaster know? So I consulted with a very reliable, born, raised, and still holding it down SF source who confirmed that yes, these cats have been here pioneering the scene. DJ Fuze from Digital Underground, Papa Joe and Myke One especially. Stay up.
Saturday
Event: Orgy Mardi Gras Masquerade
Venue: 550 Barneveld
DJ's: DJs Yomanda, Gene Farris, Armann the Brainchild, Mark Tabberner, Jaysen, Andrew D, Keun-Ji, Jaxx the Ripper, David Garcia, Joey Mazzola, Ron Reeser, Kosho, Jay Walker +
Music: trance, techno, tech house,deep house, progressive
Cover: $30
The real question I suppose is what isn't it? Brainchild Ent. put together another massive gigantic over the top event spanning all music genres. "What next" you ask, "are they going to drop money from the sky?" Why yes! And they ought to for the price they charge to get in. What else? We got a money/balloon drop, free Mardi Gras beads and some unexplained delicious delights. Did I mention the costume theme is "Wildest Revealing Mardi Gras Outfits"? I think they should add "...Gone Wild" to the end of that theme but that's just me.
Event: OM
Venue: DNA
DJ's: Johnny Fiasco, Fred Everything, Rithma, Lorin, Eric Riggsbee
Music: funky deep house, breakbeats upstairs
Cover: $15 b4 11pm, $20 after
Frogger is on didjeridoo -- thank god. I've been wondering where I was going to get my next didjeridoo fix. We have talked about this party before. You know that this is the Om Record label monthly showcasing the best international house DJs. Don't miss Chicago's Johnny Fiasco and Montreal's Fred Everything. I seriously appreciate the didjeridoo- no joke.Event: Funktion
Venue: The Endup
DJ's: Dizzy, Michael Anthony, Samo, N8 Castro, Shane
Music: tribal house, funky house
Cover: $10 w/ camouflage, $15 w/o
The theme is Safari which is especially useful. Did anyone else stop wearing camouflage since the war started? After laying down some serious cash for this Nicole Miller camo sweater, I took it out of closet-rotation because it reminded me of the death and destruction being inflicted on our planet. Now here come the Funktion geniuses giving new life to camo with their safari theme party. Let's think about animals tonight as we get down to the tribal house.
Sunday
Event: Spundae
Venue: Ten15
DJ's: Charlotte the Baroness, Madame Mercury, Dawn of Sound
Music: house, techno
Cover: $15
Women of Bass! It's about freakin' time. Please check out these incredible DJs as they put your just-learned-to-beatmatch sorry-asses to shame.Event: Zinzibar
Venue: Voodoo Lounge
DJ's: Soulsalaam, Playground (live), Emcee Dust, Justice Served (hip hop quartet live)
Music: hip hop, breaks, funk, 2 step, dub +
Cover: $5
Guess what I did? Named this new Afrobeat, free jazz, 2step, Brazilelectro party. That's right. I know you're envious that I am an official party-namer and you are not. But you know, it takes experience and it takes soul searching.... OK, I'm exaggerating. What really happened is that the promoter, Neil, let me choose between two names. But he's never met me before. Isn't that cool? He also wanted to let everyone know that Zinzibar means "fresh ginger" which fights cold and flu symptoms.
Event: Dubmission
Venue: Elbo Room
DJ's: JBoogie, Sep
Music: dub, reggae, dancehall
Cover: $4
Why are there so many reggae parties on Sunday? Alternative to church?
We need to spread the reggae parties all through the week. But you know who I would never expect to move? Dubmission has been around a long-ass time. Their mission is dub and they faithfully deliver that and much more.Listings by Jessica Perri
