By Friday if you aren't ready to say "Fukwerk", your situation is serious.

Guns N' Bombs may be signed to French label Kitsune Maison, but their approach to presiding over a dancefloor, and the way they seem to pick that dancefloor up and flip it like a flap jack, shows off an attitude that's as American as apple pie. Their brand of seriously bangin' electro house will have you writhing in no time, and the prolific beats they drop will tell a story you won't soon forget. (DKD) |

Better
Days - Therapy |
|
January
22 is supposedly the most miserable day of the year, according to
the department of "how the hell do you determine that?" Regardless
if this dubious claim is true or not, the work week can turn us
all into basketcases, so a little Therapy is in order. Providing
that outlet we all so desperately need is Pink's wonderful dancefloor,
powered by the sounds of Franky Boissy and JoJo Flores. Together
these two house heroes know just the prescription to keep you sane
for at least another week. (SG) |

Bridging
the Breaks - LA to SF Venue: Supperclub DJs: Michelle Bass, Patricio, Laird, Seven, Smoove, Syd Gris Music: breaks Cover: $10-$15 |
We all know that when Michelle Bass is in the place, the people in the place are serious about their bass. SF loves LA, and SF DJs love the idea that they'll blow the minds of the big LABA DJs like Michelle and Patricio with their beats. As Michelle and Patricio only come when packing heat, the night's bound to be explosive, and no matter who rules the roost at night's end, the dancefloor wins no matter what. (DKD) |

Gyptian's vibe is smooth and serene, and his lyrics timeless and beautiful. See the sensation live at Club Six's Darkroom with Ras Messa and DJ Uni-T. (SG) |

Shh, don't tell anyone, but Retox, home of the old Sublounge, is turning into one of the hottest out-of-the-way haunts in SF. The new ownership has done wonders for the space, and the quality of the beats is matching that of the drinks as Bay Area Beat Drop brings the sounds that a discerning ear will desire. Solekandi and James Bass like to drop bass-heavy love, and special guest DJ Saya is a treat for sure. (SG) |

Shift/Tilt Venue: 330 Ritch DJs: Karmacoda, Sutro, Peek Music: live electronica, minimal, downtempo Cover: $10 |
This Saturday at Shift/Tilt, there's even more to celebrate than the cutting-edge downtempo and trip hop sounds this crew loves cranking out for us. It's Return to Mono's CD release party for Involution, and Karmacoda, Sutro, and DJ Peek will be hell-bent on working the dancefloor into a frenzy over the long-anticipated drop of this debut EP on the scene. You'll leave this party feeling intoxicated no matter what, although it'll be something in the beats, rather than something in your drink, that's responsible. (DKD) |
