Well we've had a definite reaction to our nominees. We've gotten praise, heard from haters, and received thank you notes everyday since the DJ poll began. Guess what guys?

We are the Fabuloids: SF Fashion Report
Ok so compared to New York and LA, the SF fashion scene has not traditionally grabbed the attention of the world.

We don’t give a fuck WHAT the rest of the fashion world is doing! Continue >>

A Hundred Days of Underworld
It was the year of my semester abroad, Prince’s own infamous 1999, when I found myself in front of a London's popular Astoria, buying some scalped $40 (25 pounds) tickets for the Underworld  , I was still all starry-eyed over Underworld’s Trainspotting single “Born Slippy”, it was my first venture into electronica music, a phase that would last till...heh, probably forever. Karl Hyde's haunting vocals rolled over intricate live mixed tracks with a humanity and moodiness not usually associated with techno music. Darren Emerson and Rick Smith mixed it live, strumming drum machines and tweeking the music in an electronic symphony of techno sounds. Now, Underworld is in here at the Warfield, as a duo (sans Darren Emerson, who has gone off to be an international DJ star), touring off the waves of their new album, A Hundred’s Days Off, and pushing me into that lovely nostalgia for London again.  Event: Underworld, Date: October 20, 2002, Time: 7:00pm doors open, 8:00pm show starts, Venue: The Warfield, Cost: $25.00, Music: Electronica, techno. (GR)

Decompression party
Does the alkaline dust of that alien planet we fondly call Burning Man still have you high off life?  The Decompression Party is where we come to celebrate and mourn the incredible experience we had in the desert. I'm hoping for an appearance from the Extra Action Marching band, who I ran around wildly seeking my first night at Burningman (for reasons that shall remain unknown this side of reality.) The Decompression Party of Burning Man is a radically interactive exhibit (PARTY) celebrating the effects of what happens when the most open-minded-not-afraid-to-challenge life's conventions gather. Expect a colorful assortment of SF's loony-toons at Cafe Cocomo this Sunday. The party is full of the festival's camps, art, entertainers, DJs and friends. Playa wear is absolutely encouraged. Date: 10/20  Time: 12pm-2am,  Place:  Cafe Cocomo, Admission: $10 in playa wear/$15 for rancid spectators, More Info or call 415-TO-FLAME (CW)

Pollen Magazine Benefit Party
Pollen is here to fertilize your mind.  A beautiful full color magazine that features local visual and literary artists, each volume has three issues and a idea thread that runs throughout.  Last years issues were Honey, Sprout, and Forest.  Pollen Media prints a thousand copies of each issue and this party is to support the newest issue, Epiphany.   Live performances on Friday by Kristen Heavey's Element Dance Theatre, musicians Oceana Bluskyes, El Pulpo, and short films by Matt Goldman, James Jhun, and Stephanie Gerson.  The main party is on Saturday night with DJ's Rick Preston (Glasgo Underground), Vasili, and Nman.  That seems like plenty but there's more; art installations by Sarah Necktonic and Allison Satre, as well as a fire dancers and a few drag queens hosting the thing.  Tons of interesting artwork to check out and a warehouse full of interesting people, not to mention that supporting local artists is always a worthy cause. Event: Pollen Magazine Benefit party Date: 10/18 & 10/19 Time: 8 PM Place: 43 Admission: $15 Norfolk in SOMA, More info (JM)

Kinkyfunk on the High Seas
Techno/trance sensation Timo Maas headlines a special Spundae-Kinkyfunk collaboration this Sunday for those in search of a fantastic voyage.  That's because this party takes places on a boat called the "San Francisco Spirit" (not to be confused with one of Jay-Z's many iced out yachts, but you get the picture).  It makes perfect sense that a guy like Timo who has been deejaying since the ripe age of 13 and describes his style as "percussive wet funk" would want to test how "wet" and "funky" the bass can get as it splashes off the waves of the Bay.  Known for his mixing skills and for being the only kick-ass deejay out of Buckeburg, Germany, Timo is joined by his fellow deutscheman (that's German for "home boy") Haktan O'Nal, (Four Twenty Recordings).  Some Spundae and Kinkyfunk regulars will also be operating the wheels of steel.  The VIP Captain's deck features DJ Gilligan and Skipper Too (just kidding) Don't forget the after-party at Club Six!  Place: Pier 9 (Broadway & Embarcadero), Time: 6:30pm until 11:00pm,  Music: Trance/Techno/House, Cover: $40 pre-sale.

Register, Vote , Represent.
NYC's outrageous rap duo the Beatnuts stop off at Slims to do two things: 1) to drop some hard ass raps and 2) to get some people registered to vote. Its all part of the Rap the Vote  tour, a grassroots initiative mobilizing the hip hop community to become more politically active by getting the underground crowd to surface, and make their voices be heard. The "intoxicated demons" Psycho Les, and Junkyard Juju, have done cuts with Big Pun, Fat Joe, Method Man, Jungle Bros...etc...(probably even Schooly D wherever he is), and have been able to maintain the balance between the mainstream and the underground for over ten years now. They also represent the Latin influence in the ridiculously competitive NY rap scene. Supporting acts, Non Phixion, and local fave Vinroc help get the crowd on their feet before these two hit the stage. Date: Tues. 10/15, Place: Slims, Time: 9pm-?, Cover: $20, More Info (CW)

Art Decko
The Culture Cache Gallery is doing the most progressive shows of any gallery in the city.  Last month they had a show featuring DJ Spooky painting while he mixed, and now a show dedicated to the art of skateboards.  Many artists are featured here and the subject matter ranges from abstract expression to political statements.  More than just some stickers and those bad copies of skate company logos you used to draw on your boards, these artists express some of the most pressing issues our culture is facing today with the immediacy and the vitality of life in the city.  As a whole the show covers so much ground that no matter what your taste you'll  find some kid who pinned it to a skateboard. Event: Decked Out Place: Culture Cache Gallery Date: Oct 5-17 Time: Thursday-Sunday 12-5 PM Admission: Free, More Info (JM)

The Zen City records crew including best SF DJ nominees Paul Hemming and Linden C, metamorphasize Wednesday into a new evening of deep house grooves. Lazy is not really the word I would use to describe these guys especially Linden C's tribalesque "go ahead and just try and sit down" bangin' set. I'd say the only thing these guys are lazy at is playing bad music. In that case they are some of the no-good laziest motherfuckers I've ever heard.(JP)

The folks from Compression and Compound have put their stamp of approval on this one, so be prepared to fill your head with heavy beats. (CW)

Venue: Club Six

It's rare for people to write in to us about a party but Soul Kitchen got 2 guest reviews! Here is an excerpt: "What the hell's going on here? Old school for real, the DJs were hittin' break dancers were rockin' I thought it was 1986." The other review said "...the music was nice I heard songs I haven't heard in years". So you see it's not that SK prides itself on being old school. They have all the new shit too - but the vibe has an old school sensibility that's rare and exceptional.

Could you actually hear Miami Sound Machine up in here? Anything is possible but the best part is this is not a gimmick party for bachelorette parties, it's just some cool DJs like David Molnar, RePete and Seven having fun.

I just want to pinch those adorable cheeks of the Gloss Party. It seems like just yesterday when it all started a year ago.

Feel Good Entertainment invites you to celebrate their 10th Anniversary and the end of Love Affair by "getting erotic" at Hotel Ibiza this Saturday.  This event is hosted by Playboy Playmate Tina Jordan (That's Miss March 2002 for all you folks with clean minds). I personally prefer the intellectual type, but a small percentage of men (latest polls show 93%) can get by on cleavage. People with A.D.D. can leave their Ritalin at home because this party promises (1) A live HBO film crew taping scenes for an upcoming show called the "In Crowd" (2) A Freakyn Halloween/Masquerade Contest hosted by more Playboy bunnies, and (3) a headlining set by DJ T8 (pronounced Tate) who is a former international runway and magazine model turned deejay with a "passion" for spinning progressive tribal house.  First the Wet Party Finale and now this!  I guess Hotel Ibiza has a monopoly on debauchery.

Ahhhh, it's Sunday and time to chill!  Sit back and take in some pure oxygen. Doesn't that sound oddly futuristic? Well the ambient beats may too.

Did you ever want to sleep with a professional football player, and then go public with it afterwards in the hopes of fame, fortune? Here's your chance: The Raiders are doing their own brand of getting loose with an after party for their home game on Sunday. Kick it with #84, wide receiver Jerry Porter, and other members of the silver and black while DJ Mind Motion takes control of the decks for East Bay influenced hip-hop. Believe it or not, there's a dress code that's strictly enforced, seemingly an attempt to weed out the riffraff. Do they know this is SF? (CW)

We are the Fabuloids: SF Fashion Report
(Continued)

…SF’s punk rock attitude toward fashion is the driving force behind its creativity. The designers are not only having fun coupling their shows with club nights and art shows, but they’re doing it for the pure craft of designing. “I don’t really want to be in Fred Segal,” claims handbag designer, Kelly Tunstall. “If I get a big order I would have to hire someone else to make them…” Kelly’s point is that if she’s not doing it herself then why do it.

Is this the prevailing attitude across all local fashion scenesters? Of course not. You have the Macy’s Passport Show, the St. John store openings and the society parties depicted in the new “SF Paper” free fashion pub. But most of the quasi-celebrities on that scene are old money families trying desperately to hold on to an old paradigm of what the fashion glitterati should be. They model themselves after Paris and New York but the truth is a real scene like that has never existed here. Until San Francisco starts putting up those runway tents in Goldengate Park for their own, “Fashion Week,” it never will.

Here lies the dilemma in our very creative underground fashion scene. A disconnect exists between creativity and money (not a new theme). Sure these local designers can get their wares in small boutiques and on consignment, but in the big world of couture and international retail shops, most will never be seen.

So what are young fashion students isolated from the upper echelon of society supposed to do? They make up their own scene, their own way of showing their lines at events like Twice as Nice at 111 Minna, or Soul Kitchen at Club Six complete with International DJ talent! If a big buyer
from Nordstrom’s happened to attend one of these parties and wanted to place an order for 25 hand-distressed and hand-beaded denim skirts, would these young designers even know what to do? They can try.

Meet the designers of Fabuloid. These creative souls are out there attempting to brave the fashion industry by making available one of a kind “vintage reinterpretations” (ranging from $30 -$2500) Last week this collective threw 12 guerilla fashion shows all over San Francisco. This week they have an official (and legal) show at 111 Minna where you can buy what you like right off the models. Make sure you donate $5 for a chance to win a tube top which you are expected to model right on the spot!

Other fashion multi taskers include party promoters, Mixed Elements and Donovan. They are attempting to shrink that disconnect between our local designers, boutiques and consumers by putting on a fashion show with YOU as the model. The party called Rendez Vous, offers a list of stores offering special discounts for the event. Your job is to support the fashion community by buying an outfit at one of the listed stores then wearing it to the Rendez Vous party this Saturday!

These are just some of the ideas being executed because of San Francisco’s growing fashion awareness and creativity. The more support and awareness we give to these events the more San Francisco’s economy and arts can grow together symbiotically. It’s time for us to take our place as the new avante guardians! Stay tuned for more fashion shows, designer info and events from Nitevibe.com. (JP)
