Event: Addicted
Venue: Backflip
DJ's: Adrian C, Centipede
Music: hip hop, electro
Cover: 2 for $5 b4 11pm
“Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn/If your girl starts acting up then you take her friend.” That song, “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang should be the theme of this party and here’s why: 1) Addicted is all about hip-hop classics, 2) Backflip is at the hotel/motel Phoenix, 3) your girl and her friend can get in 2 for $5! This is fun! I just may throw Rapper’s Delight lyrics in all the picks today. Really I’m going to.

Event: The Loop
Venue: The Galaxy
DJ's: Delivery, Kelsone, Pash, Makintosh, Lite
Music: hip-hop, breakbeats
Cover: free b4 10pm, $5 after
“By the way baby what's your name/ Said I go by the name of Lois Lane/ And you could be my boyfriend you surely can/ Just let me quit my boyfriend called Superman…” That superhero night called “Sound Defenders” has morphed into a new night called The Loop. Same style hip-hop and breaks, same great DJs, different clever name.

Is it Tuesday and you have that yucky no-dance feeling already? Taboo will take care of that problem quickly, right!.

Music: house
Cover: $3 after 10pm
Hi. So everyone knows that Dig Deep moved from the Blind Tiger and is on the second and fourth Wednesday at Buzz 9 right? Good. This week Scott Carrelli guest stars from Looq Records. Expect a deep tech-house slightly progressive groove. Scott will be doing his thing similar to Hank. “Well so far you’ve heard my voice but I brought two friends along/ And next on the mike is my man Hank/ Come on, Hank, sing that song…”

Event: L’ Originale
Venue: Rosewood
DJ's: Herve, Daymeetrius, Jerry Ross
Music: French and American hip-hop
Cover: TBA
Tired of getting jiggy to the same old shit? Check out something French besides fries. America still gets top-billin' within the hip hop scene, but some of the European stuff is aiight. At least it’s original. “When the sucker MCs try to chump my style/ I let them know that I’m versatile/ I got style finesse and a little black book/ That's filled with rhymes and I know you want to look/ But there's a thing that separates you from me/ And that's called originality…”

Event: Dream
Venue: Cloud 9
DJ's: Jeno, Paul Hemming
Music: deep house
Cover: $5
Always nice to check out larger name DJs for $5 even if you have to put up with the stuck-up door guys. Jeno of the Wicked crew and Paul Hemming of Zen City Records fulfill all your dreams of hearing deep house on a Wednesday. You’ll sleep better at night after dancing. That’s a scientific fact. (Providing you pass up the blow of course) “And while ya sleepin’ ya start to dream/ And thinking how ya danced on the disco scene…”

Event: True Skool
Venue: Storyville
DJ's: Afrika Bambaataa, Ren the Vinyl Archaeologist , Clockwork, Pauleytek
Music: electro, house
Cover: $15
OK let’s take a musical history moment. The Sugarhill Gang may have had the first rap song to hit the Top 40 charts, but Afrika Bambaataa ruled the underground paving the way for all of the electronic music we know and love today such as Detroit techno and Chicago house. This DJ/producer essentially invented electro in 1982 with the song “Planet Rock” which blended hip-hop beats with techno pop like “Kraftwerk” from Germany. He also worked with George Clinton, UB40, Bootsy Collins, and Boy George. Before his electro sound became famous, Afrika Bambaataa organized block parties and break dancing competitions in the Bronx and eventually formed the Zulu Nation, a group of like-minded Afrocentric artists and musicians like Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers and Queen Latifah.

Event: Staple Primer
Venue: Sit!o (formally the Up and Down)
DJ's: Markie Mark, DJ Iz, Fil Latorre, David Javate
Music: house
Cover: $10
The Staple crew, who you know from their monthly Endup events, bursts with new tech-house flavor at that rejuvenated Up and Down Club every second/fourth Thursday. I always love the DJs that the Staple crew brings through and this party is no different as Markie Mark and DJ Iz guest star. This event deserves some of my favorite Rapper’s Delight lyrics. “I don’t mean to brag I don’t mean to boast/But we like hot butter on our breakfast toast /Rock it up baby bubbah baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang da boogie/To the beat beat, its so unique/ Come on everybody and dance to the beat…”

Event: All I want is Stereo
Venue: Ruby Skye
DJ's: Re-Pete, Lalo, Leonard, Carlos Gibbs, Grant Dell
Music: deep house, tech house
Cover: $5 b4 11pm, $7 after
Here is a nicely kept secret for the city dwellers. On the second Thursdays of the month lies this party thrown by Stereo Foundation, Moulton Studios (just got Urb's next 100), Deep House Project and Ruby Skye. It's like a special meeting of SF's house music authorities. You can enjoy this elegant venue sans the obnoxious weekend crowd bumping into you drunk and spilling Heinekin on your shoes. Half the normal price and the DJ lineup makes me want to wear glitter!

Event: Dark Matter Mechasoul
Venue: 26 Mix
DJ's: (Rotating) Audio Angel, Blaktroniks, Mikey, Megatron, Scott Edmonds
Music: melodic techno, nu-jazz, Afrobeat, jazzy house
Cover: TBA
This is the second installment of this new monthly. Dark Matter features local stars who celebrate dark matter and experimental yet melodic jazz-inspired sounds. Resident Scott Edmonds reportedly had this to say on the event: “I’m gonna freak ya here I’m gonna freak ya there/ I’m gonna move you outta this atmosphere…”

Event: Lo-Rise Motel
Venue: Backflip
DJ's: Solar, Greg Eversoul, DJ Seven
Music: house
Cover: $5 b4 11pm
This weekly Backflip gig engineered by DJ Seven and Greg Eversoul always has an impressive lineup and a crowd that’s there to get their groove on to respectable house music. There is a secret password to get in to the Lo-Rise Motel, however. Remember to repeat the following to the door guy: “Ya go hotel motel whatcha gonna do today (say what?)/ Ya say I’m gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spankin’ drive off in a def oj/ everybody go, hotel motel Holiday inn…”

Event: Square presents Dimitri from Paris
Venue: Ruby Skye
DJ's: Dimitri from Paris, Frenchy le Freak
Music: disco house, funky house
Cover: $20 Presale Buy Ticket
Happy Bastille Weekend! “Ya rockin' to the rhythm, shake your derriere/ Ya rockin' to the beat without a care/ With the sureshot MCs for the affair…” Dimitri from Paris needs no introduction but you know I’m gonna give you one anyway. On the scene in the 1980’s Dimitri started off as a radio DJ for French radio 7. His reputation led him to DJing shows for fashion glitterati like Chanel, Lagerfeld and Gaultier. He began producing and releasing EPs in the mid 90’s and furthered his career by remixing artists like Björk, the Brand New Heavies, New Order and James Brown. His mostly mid-tempo sound is inspired by the faux-jazz lounge sound of the early 1960’s and 70’s disco, exemplified by albums like the “Disco Forever” box set and a “Night at the Playboy Mansion”. Finally, this is the Flyer Of The Week!

Originally part of SF’s Funky Tekno Tribe, DJ Dan has become quite a celebrity known for his creative mixes and funky house and breaks, he travels internationally to play clubs, festivals and raves. To Dan I dedicate these important words: “It was twelve o'clock one Friday night /I was rockin' to the beat and feelin' all right/ Everybody was dancin' on the floor/ Doin all the things they never did before/ And then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean/ She came into the bar, she came into the scene/ As she traveled deeper inside the room/All the fellas checked out her white Sasoons…”

Can’t you just picture him in his cowboy hat saying,“Well, my name is known all over the world/By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls…” No? Neither can I but you may want to check out this highly acclaimed DJ anyway. One of his albums (progressive Mix Session 1.0) was a live set recorded at Ten 15 Folsom.

“Now there's a time to laugh a time to cry/ A time to live and a time to die/ A time to break and a time to chill/ To act civilized or act real ill…” I’d say the latter is appropriate here.
