By any measure, Kaskade is a stalwart success story of the SF scene. Migrating here from Chicago, where he learned to love house music, he has risen to the top by giving a fresh feel to the 4-4 beat. He's always among the top vote-getters for our annual DJDreamteam, and this special night of Remedy will be celebrating his latest release, Love Mysterious Tour. If you want to hear the best, this is the place to be. (SG)

The pioneering force behind the rise of trip-hop, Massive Attack were among the most innovative and influential groups of their generation; their hypnotic sound - a darkly sensual and cinematic fusion of hip-hop rhythms, soulful melodies, dub grooves, and choice samples - set the pace for much of the dance music to emerge throughout the 1990s, paving the way for such acclaimed artists as Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, Beth Orton, and Tricky, himself a Massive Attack alumnus.

The godfather of breakbeat, Rennie Pilgrem, is coming to town for the first time in a very long while, so you better get ready for sick beats and dirty bass. With four realms of sound ranging from breaks and house to world-class trance and chill out, you can't go wrong. Opel is putting this one on in association with Evil Breaks and Tantra so I advise you to get there early, 'cause once the needle hits wax, it'll be going off all night! (SIN)
