| Event: Festa Junina! Venue: Elbo Room DJs: Forro Brazuca, Vanka Music: Brazilian Cover: $7 |
Summer has arrived, bringing with it more fog (boo), a truckload of parties (yes!), and that harbinger of the coming Brazilian winter, Festa Junina. Because most of us cannot make it down to Brazil on a moment’s notice, the Elbo Room has been kind enough to organize their own take on the Brazilian tradition. SF’s Festa Junina will feature Forro Brazuca and DJ Vanka, an Afrobeat all star good enough to grace this page twice. (EK) |
| Event: Liberation Venue: Poleng Lounge DJs: One.Be.Lo, Grand Phee and Rhyson Hall, Nate Krooks, Construct Existence Crew, Koo C, Madd Hatter, Modest Mark Music: hip-hop Cover: $18 |
If you are looking to liberate yourself from shitty music this Independence Day (and who isn't?), head on down to Poleng Lounge for a show that will truly set you free. Souled Out Underground and Browntown Wreckords have joined forces to bring you Liberation, featuring the one and only One.Be.Lo, plus Grand Phee and Physon Hall, Nate Krooks, and Construct Existence Crew, among others. Freedom never sounded so good. (EK) |

| Event: Biz Markie Venue: Ruby Skye DJs: Biz Markie, Ren the Vinyl Archaeologist Music: rap, hip-hop Cover: $20 presale |
When a musician begins to take him or herself too seriously, they jump on the fast track to Crapville (what’s up MJ!). Luckily, we have characters like Biz Markie, who has made an entire career out of defending a rapper’s right to be silly. Though Biz has recorded songs like “Pickin’ Boogers,” you’d be a fool to underestimate him – not only does he have a top ten single under his crazy belt, but he’s been spitting rhymes since before you were born. (EK) |
| Event: I Love House Venue: Pink DJs: Kwai, Mark Cooper, Label, Monty Luke Music: house Cover: $5 |
The Bay Area loves itself some house music and residents can come together every Wednesday at Pink, for the weekly I Love House. Holding it down for househeads everywhere is Monty Luke
|
| Event: Qoöl enters the Opulent Temple Venue: 111 Minna DJs: Coz, Dutch, Syd Gris, Mark Musselman, Hyper D, Spesh Music: progressive Cover: no cover b4 6pm, $5 after |
Our favorite sanctuary for sacred dance at Burning Man is coming to Qoöl! Opulent Temple DJs Dutch, Coz, and Syd Gris are slicing us and the Qool DJs off a little taste of the uncanny beats and wide-open consciousness we'll get to experience at Burning Man this year when we hit up their camp. Don't underestimate the power and community that will be shared on this dancefloor during this hump day happy hour. (DKD) |

Event: Minx |
 |
Who said that techno isn't funky? Well, Soma recording artist and tech house pioneer Funk D'Void is dropping by the Endup to dispel all the haters that techno indeed has soul. As a prolific producer starting in the mid '90s, Funk D'Void's productions have ranged from epic and melodic to strong and jackin'. Showcasing a true understanding of musicality and a range of creativity, this night hints to convert all the haters into techno lovers. (DJ) |
 |
| Event: Blue Label Venue: Shine DJs: Tall Sasha, Bravo, Misha, Frantz, WenWen Music: progressive, tech house Cover: $5 |
Tall Sasha's Blue Label is all about progressive house, and this time around, it's all about Spain's DJ Bravo and his special brand of the prog-house persuasion. Persuasive and pervasive it will be, and definitely full of enough energy to keep the dancefloor groovin' 'til night's end. Sasha heads off to Asia in July, so don't sleep on this hot summer night with BL. |
| Event: Greenskeepers LIVE Venue: Vessel DJs: Greenskeepers, James Curd Music: electronica Cover: $10 |
Greenskeepers is a Chicago based electronica group that'll descend on Vessel this week for a breather during their Polo Club EuroTour. The four-man group is made up of multi-instrumentalist Mark Share, DJ and electro percussionist James Curd, singer/guitarist Nick Maurer and bassist Coban Rudish, and their output can be called swinging house beats seasoned with indie rock, hillbilly, jazz and funk. Quirky, abstract and downright bizarre at times, the group has OM Records among their many fans. You very well might find them irresistible too. (DKD) |
| Event: Sabotage Venue: Anu DJs: Andre Lucero, Fil Latorre, Javaight Music: techno, minimal, tech house Cover: no cover |
Andre Lucero is getting in on the Sabotage this Thursday when he joins the Staple crew behind the wheels to take us on a treacherous voyage into the edgy underground of SF tech. Staple's always down to go deep and get under our feet, and they'll do anything to manipulate us into moving the way they know we want to. Come out and experience these ninja-grade turntable tactics at work. (DKD) |

| Event: An Afrobeat All Stars Extravaganza: African Music Masters Venue: Café Du Nord DJs: Baba Ken & Afro-Groove Connexion, Jujuba, Vanka Music: afrobeat Cover: $18 presale, $20 door |
The title says it all, but I’ll happily say it again: this show is a true extravaganza of Afrobeat all stars. Headlining is Baba Ken & Afro-Groove Connexion, a jubilant powerhouse that sounds like a mix of “Juju music, voodoo ritual chants and rhythms, [and] scratchy American jazz records, with a dash of Fela’s Afrobeat.” Joining Baba Ken are Jujuba, a knock-your-socks-off Nigerian Afrobeat 11-piece, and DJ Vanka, a Belgian-born Afro-Latin all star. (EK) |
| Event: Familia Faces Venue: Milk DJs: Platurn, Spair, Justin Time Music: funk, soul, rock, hip-hop, mashups Cover: $5 b4 11pm, $10 after |
It’s always nice to see Familia Faces and tonight is no exception. The Oakland Faders are at it again, attacking four turntables for a night of hip-hop, rock, soul, and everything in between. The original Faders, DJs Platurn and Spair, have been collecting and creating hip-hop since the mid-nineties and the accumulated skill, knowledge, and beats make this a show you definitely don’t want to miss. (EK) |
| Event: Ferry Corsten Venue: Ruby Skye DJs: Ferry Corsten Music: progressive, house Cover: $25 |
Dutchman Ferry Corsten's new mix compilation CD/ DVD Passport - United States of America is out this month and Ferry is here in SF to celebrate just that with one of his favorite sets of fans. Ruby Skye is happy to be hosting the exclusive album release party for such a dynamic force in the world of dance music. He's been going strong for more than 15 years, and with this passport to America, here's to his bringing his music to us for 15 more! (DKD) |
| Event: Hit the Deck Venue: Club Six DJs: Pablo Scratch, Old E., Cheese, Supreme Original DJs, the Blockheadz Music: hip-hop Cover: $5 |
Stop by Club Six tonight to help Turf Skateboard Co. celebrate the release of Some Dude Skateboard in style. With art and video installations by Ando, electronic jams by Pablo Scratch, Old E., Cheese, and Supreme Original DJs, and live jams by the Blockheadz, hitting the deck will actually seem like fun (as opposed to a defense tactic) and will likely leave you kickflip-ing for joy. (EK) |

The Porn Palace is sssuper psyched to present Snake, a dusk-til-dawn fundraiser for Peter Hudson’s next playa project Homouroboros that is sure to shake your rattle. Show up in your best snake attire and writhe to visuals by Media Man and jams by Lee Coombs, Laird, Shissla, Felix the Dog, Ding Dong, and many more. As if that weren’t enough, Snake will tempt you (and step up the biblical illusions) with the blasphemously sexy forbidden fruit that is the Flaming Lotus Girls. (EK) |
| Event: Swayzak Soundsystem Venue: Supperclub DJs: Swayzak, Kate Simko, blufarm Music: tech house, techno Cover: $12 presale, $15-20 door |
It's hard to believe that it's been almost 10 years since Swayzak introduced us to their minimal yet melodic sound. Swayzak, which apparently means "union" in polish, have been effectively breaking down barriers between techno and house, in addition to pioneering the minimal live PA. Joining them is classically trained musician, DJ and producer Kate Simko to help us find the "union" in the dancefloor. If you like your beats deep, techy and groovy, this night is for you. (DJ) |

Event: The Deep Endup |
|
This fundraiser for the Deep End camp at Burning Man promises to raise as many spirits as it does funds, with 11 Deep End DJs, plus Shissla from House of Lotus and Syd Gris from Opulent Temple, banging out the bombtracks all night long. From funky to progressive house, with some breaks tracks thrown in by shOOey and Shissla, you'll hear it all, so be careful if you're packing expectations. At parties like this they often tend to be flipped Deep End Up. (DKD) |

If you've been looking for the funk but are having little luck, chin up because your quest ends here. DJ Rooz and his friends Tall Sasha, Greg Eversoul, and Lord JP are bringing Back da Funk to US(!) with the most funkalicious onslaught of groovalicious beats you could have wanted. It'll be a four hour progression from deep, to tech, to soul beats and beyond, all contained in that comfy little hotspot called Levende Lounge. (DKD) |

The Burning Man countdown has begun, which means the power tools are dusted off, the metallic fabric is out of stock, and Opulent Temple is throwing excellent fundraiser parties. And as far as fundraisers go, Audible from Space, which will monetarily help rebuild the temple at Burning Man 2007, is freaking awesome: spitting out breaks and progressive house are Spesh, Murphstar, Ethan Miller, Eric Sharp, Dutch, Billy Casazza, Sentient, Atum, Cosmic Selector, and Dex Stakker. (EK) |
| Event: Better Days Venue: Pink DJs: Tony Humphries, Franky Boissy Music: soulful house Cover: tba |
The magic of Tony Humphries will be had at Pink tonight, when the uptempo soul machine man steers himself to the decks not a moment too soon. He seems to have done it all-- from the residency at Ministry of Sound to having played at 300 venues worldwide in his career. With his newly minted label, Tony Records, Humphries hopes to explore his brand of sound even more. SF will gladly be the guinea pig dancefloor for whatever he might have in mind. (DKD) |

Joining him in dropping the advanced minimalism is Detroit boy wonder Seth Troxler, who is noted for his parties with Ryan Crosson and Lee Curtiss, and his productions on Beretta Music. This night should be a hot one! (DJ) |

DJ Helicopter, fresh off its tour across Asia (Tokyo, Seoul, Indonesia), is back at Vessel for its monthly residency. One of the few smaller, more intimate venues with a sound system built to celebrate house music, Vessel is increasingly home to first-class underground and top-tier talent. DJ Helicopter brings its dynamic appeal with spontaneous acappellas and loops weaving in and out of thick bass-driven funky house. Vessel likes the no cover option, so come one, come all. |

Been braggin' about your DJ skills? Well, tread lightly if they aren't really all that, because at this party they may just get called to action.

Dirtyhertz and many more of your favorite DJs will be dotted around the club just waiting for the opportunity to let their fire loose on the decks, and for us groovers, it's a night full of potential and maybe a good surprise or two.
