Outernational
Mix Venue: Nickie's (460 Haight) Dj's: Cheb i Sabbah Music: international house and breaks Cover: $5 | When the new-wave parties disappoint, sometimes you have to revert back to the classics; and for that there may be nothing that tops Cheb i Sabbah and the Dhamaal crew who have been spinning at Nickie's since the '80s. He has a sound that stays fresh, combining African, Asian and Arabian beats to form a style dubbed 'ethno-techno' that regularly packs in a club full of loyal followers. (IA) |

Tone:Def Venue: Anu Dj's: Polywog Music: all dance styles Cover: Free | DJ Polywog is a legend in the SF music scene, having even found her way into the classic SF rave flick, Groove. But it's an eclectic style that makes this postmodern diva a star at every party. Her sets see Frank Sinatra waltzing into a swampy jungle bassline, Nina Simone chilling out in a fuzzy ambient groove, and Jimmy Hendrix weaving a rhythm between breakbeats. This master of strange, headtrip fusion somehow manages to keep all the funk coherent and dancefloor ready. She explains it best in her own words, just ask her! (JP) |

Qoöl
vs. Äranji Venue: 111 Minna Dj's: Barefoot, Hyper D, Jeff Richmond, J:miah, Scott Carrelli, Jondi Music: house, breaks, progressive, techno Cover: $5 | It's an onslaught of umlauts as Qoöl joins forces with Äranji for an all-night midweek face-off. These Wednesday Qoöl events at 111 Minna have been keeping me sane in the face of the 9-5 grind for quite some time, and it's been over a year since Äranji made a visit. 111's current gallery show is also worth a close look (four words: Andre the Giant's Afro).
