Redwine Venue: Dalva DJs: Toph One Music: hip-hop, nu jazz, rock, house Cover: Free |
If you're anything like the majority of the music junkies in San Francisco, you think it's cool to hang out with your favorite DJ. Toph One is loved by many because he'll not only woo you with his dynamic turntable talents, but also with his sparkling conversation, eloquent red wine toasts and profound wisdom. He has inspired many to dance on bartops, write on themselves with Sharpie markers, and create spontaneous afterparties as a result of his entrancing, eclectic sets. From Osunlade to Motley Crew, believe! (JP) |

Saul
Williams Venue: Great American Music Hall DJs: Saul Williams, Thavius Beck (aka Adlib) Music: hip-hop, spoken word Cover: $15 | Rarely do you get an opportunity to hear some tight beats and get educated while you're at it. Saul Williams, the writer and actor from the award-winning independent film Slam and the man credited with inspiring the Def Poetry Jam organization, is providing that very chance. He has lectured at universities around the world, published three volumes of poetry, and had his work included in college texts when he was still a teenager. He is prophetic with his words, music and message, and is entertaining to boot. (IA) |

Electric
Lady 2004 |
 | Trippy
live concoctions and eclectic electronic creations are on tap for
the appropriately named Electric Lady show at Tounge & Groove.
Psykick Girl,
Zonk,
and Artemis
are all highly innovative live bands that also happen to be fronted
by lovely ladies. But these folks are all about substance before
style, so don't come expecting some sort of cheesy bling bling event.
DJ F,
who recently released the very well-received Destination Lounge
San Francisco, will be laying down a course of signature down-tempo
breaks as well, making for a complete night of cutting edge sounds.
Their kind sponsors, KarmaLoop
and Pearl Vodka,
will be on hand with gift holiday cheer. Come early for free schwag
and ultra-discounted drink specials. (SG) |  |

Passion |
| Maybe
it's because I was in San Diego for a couple of days, but it sure
seems like SF got a whole lot chillier all of a sudden. Roe
& Prive seem to have noticed and thankfully, they're doing
something about it. Enter Passion,
a night of hot beats, a steamy vibe, and three floors of dancing
decadence. Ellen
Ferrato is in charge of keeping the temperature up with her
jazzy, sexy house, and she's out to prove she deserves a repeat
spot on the Nitevibe Dreamteam. If you like to keep your feet
warm and ass moving to a little R&B and soul, David Caralho
and Momentum will be throwing down plenty of warm grooves that are
more to your liking. The crowd dresses to impress, so throw a warm
coat over that hot little outfit before you head out. (SG) | |

Fresco
Presents Dego Venue: Milk DJs: Dego, Hakobo, Kento, Suzu Music: brokenbeat, hip-hop, jazz Cover: TBA | This will be the hottest event on Friday and I'll give you three reasons why: Fresco, Milk & Dego. The hippest promo & fashion company throws a party at the hottest little club with the UK's most slammin' DJ. Dego, one half of the 4Hero duo, is on the forefront of the broken beat scene, a sound that emerged out of West London a few years ago and has enjoyed rising popularity ever since. The duo has produced for everyone from Jill Scott and Vikter Duplaix to Roy Ayers. Combining a fun and sexy house vibe with more complex syncopated drums, the result is updated dancefloor funk! Come see Dego hold it down in the DJ booth. (JP) |

Full
Circle Venue: Mighty DJs: King Britt, Said Music: funky and soulful house Cover: $10-$15 | King Britt has decreed, “This Is What Radio Should Sound Like”. And if you haven’t heard King’s sample CD under the same name, you can’t imagine what you’re in for. Soulful dance music is just the start of what this cat raised in the Philadelphia sound is going to throw out at Mighty tonight. You’ll move, you’ll stomp your feet, and you may even holler when this highly sought after DJ hits the tables. (KW) |

Fridays Venue: Fluid DJs: Solomon, Dave Onex, Danny Brown Music: hip-hop Cover: $10 (ladies get in Free) | The house music-led charge that has turned Fluid into one of the trendiest SF spots of late is yielding to an all hip-hop event this week. I guess it's only fair that Solomon and crew get a chance to show what they and all the real hip-hop heads can do with a perfect venue and a bunch of classic beats. (IA) |
| Event:
Remedy Venue: DNA DJs: Craig C., Ruben Mancias, Paolo Dava Music: soulful house Cover: $15-$20 | You might think that a DJ hailing from Denver can’t quite give the Remedy people what they need. Well, you’d be wrong. Craig C., with his soulful house sound, creates an intensity on the dance floor that lasts until the final note is spun. He connects, he listens, and he feels the crowd as he throws out grooves with so much fluidity that you just can’t leave the floor. Also hitting the tables will be Ruben Mancias, our local treat who recently left crowds in Europe chanting for more. This is what Remedy’s all about . . . bringing us the best talent out there.

Presents Anthony Pappa Venue: 1015 Folsom DJs: Anthony Pappa, Gene Farris, Jeffrey Allen, Farmboy, Shawn, EO, Rafael, Cyber Joe Music: house, progressive, hip-hop Cover: $20 | Being one of the biggest DJ names in Australia might not seem like too big a deal to some of us (after all, they've still got a soft spot for Kylie Minogue and Vegemite), but Anthony Pappa did it by the time he was 20, which is no small feat. Having conquered the land of Oz, Pappa has since taken on the storied mega-venues of Britain and Europe, making a name for himself on a variety of labels with a slew of multi-layered progressive tracks and remixes. Serving as an American counterweight to Pappa's Euro stylings, Gene Farris' Chicago house and a variety of other sounds will also be on display at 1015, giving you some options in case you want to mix things up.

Boogie
Brunch Venue: Levende DJs: Ben Doren, Mike Ameci, John Early, Chad Clubb + more Music: downtempo, deep house Cover: free | If it was up to me I'd call this party "Bloody Hell and Bloody Marys" because those are the first thing that come to my mind when I open my eyes on Sunday mornings. However "Boogie Brunch" is just as appropriate, with open-air-like ambiance and soul soothing beats that are easy on the aching head. The DJs keep the tempo low, with enough energy to get you in the groove, without asking too much from your worn-out body. Sumptuous plates, mellow music and tasty mimosas are just what the doctor ordered on a Sunday afternoon. (JM) |
