Mos
Def Afterparty Venue: Club 6 Dj's: Mos Def, Dead Prez, Sake 1, Mr. E. Music: hip-hop Cover: $10 |
After his show at the Berkeley Community Theatre, Mos Def is coming across the Bay to tackle the confines of Club 6. If an intro is necessary, Mos teamed up with Talib Kweli to form Balck Starr and the social consciousness expressed in their lyrics is unmatched in hip-hop. Also at Club 6 will be Dead Prez, who released their last album independently after refusing to tone down their political message, getting them dropped from their label. Two acts more suited for Club 6's undergound atmosphere would be hard to find. Tix (IA) |

SatelliteSF Venue: Anu Dj's: Smoove vs. Scott Carrelli Music: house, breaks Cover: Free |

Anu should be packed and their trademark flavored vodkas flowing as freely as the beats from two of SF's best. Smoove's upstairs closing set at DJDreamteam was a classic, and anybody that's been to Satellite or Qoöl knows Carrelli can hang with the best when it comes to DJ skills. (SG) |

Event: Grayarea (Live) |
 |
Over
the last three years, Grayarea
have become recognized for their innovative
original productions & remixes. During
that time, their records have been showcased
by everyone from John Digweed & Nick
Warren to Paul Oakenfold & Tiesto.
But their music is best heard in their
world renowned live show, which blurs
the line between electronics and traditional
live instrumentation with a wall of sound,
sweat, and energy that a traditional rock
band would be hard pressed to match. |

Event: Mardi Gras |
|
Believe
it or not, the days are actually getting
a little longer and spring is itching
to come out of hibernation. Time to check
out one of my favorite spring/summertime
spots, Cafe Cocomo! Friday they are bringing
the heat with a Mardi
Gras-themed party that will put some
salsa into San Francisco. The beats provided
by Dreamteamer Laird,
Berkeley's own Denise,
Ecko and 2wikkend should set the stage,
but it's up to you to bring out the carnival
costumes that will put this party into
overdrive. (SG) |

For the house head in search of a new place of worship away from the SOMA scene, may we suggest a tight little venue hidden away near the Financial District.

Druwest, Q and Chicago transplant Michelle Musial are manning the decks for Jacked Up with pride and poise, making this sweet escape from the usual scene well worth the trip. (SG) |

Evil Breaks and Subscience have joined up to saturate the scene with a good dose of dirtiness in the form of SF breaks, techno and a long-awaited appearance by Future Funk Squad (aka Glen Nicholls). He started producing at age 15, but Future Funk Squad wasn't born until 1999, when a flawed jungle track of Glen's was embraced by DJ Hyper. Producing and remixing breaks ever since, Glen plans to release his debut album this year, so if you're down for the dirty funk, hop to 330 Ritch and hear it first. (DKD) |

The genre-defying music of Thievery Corporation will grace San Francisco this weekend at the Regency Grand Ballroom. Take some DJ Shadow, mix with a little Portishead, throw in a pinch of Four Tet then dub it out and you might get somewhat close to Thievery Corporation. This blend of fascinating trip-hop capitalizes on the use of vocals and instruments from throughout the world. A unique sound that seems to morph throughout their albums bringing a serious consciousness to their music. What I mean is they really make you listen, a skill which sometimes gets lost in club land.

Expect a packed house at Cocomo this Sunday as the Sunset crew, including Galen & Solar, join forces with Tasho and fellow STOMPY stars for a night of chunky house. Headining the celebration is Chicago's Justin Long, founding DJ of Q101 Sonic Boom Radio – one of the most successful mix shows in the U.S. Justin has been as busy with DJ gigs as he has been producing tracks for a wide range of labels and artists from Peaches to the Greenskeepers.

Zendada Venue: Space 550 Dj's: Agnelli & Nelson, Tomcraft, Gianni, Taj, Mystre, Cyber Joe, Icon, Aaron Jae, Forest Green, Zack Darling, Geronimo, Sen-Sei Music: trance, breaks, house Cover: $20 |
I suspect many a closeted trance fan will be coming out of hiding this weekend. With the Skills crews bringing in some heavy UK firepower on Saturday (see above), Gianni and Taj are taking advantage of the 3-day weekend to host Agnelli & Nelson, the Irish pair that redefined Ibiza with their anthems, and the teutonic titan and Love Parade legend Tomcraft. Zendada won't be just for the glowstick crowd, though, as the stacked lineup spreads out into seperate rooms of house, where Sen-sei playing live w/DJ Andrew should be a treat, and breaks, where Icon and Forest Green lead the way.
