Not all DJs are created equal (our upcoming events!)

8Ball — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 18:06:00 +0000

Hello Friendly Person

About that last email… It wasn’t supposed to go to you, it was meant for the Space Cowboy DJs. See, we’ve got a big cluster of DJs in our outfit, and in addition to the Space Cowboy events that we do, they’re all also playing different gigs around town. I do the public service of sending out their gigs with these occasional announcements, and before I do I put out a call to get everyone’s gig info. All of our Space Cowboys DJs are fantastic behind the decks, but when it comes to little things like keeping track of their gigs or even just knowing what year it is, well… let’s just say not all DJs are created equal.

When I put out a call for event info, it’s not uncommon to get a reply with absolutely no text in the message body, just a jpeg attachment of some wacked out flyer with wavy fonts and no details besides the date since the DJ forgot to include the backside with the details. Sometimes I get text messages that say, “dud im playng in the missh this week, pls post!” I’m sure some other DJs are wondering why I never post the events they send me telepathically.

So now you know how the Space Cowboy sausage gets made. I hope that doesn’t turn you off from coming to one or all of the great events we have coming up, like NIGHTLIFE at the Academy of Science in Golden Gate Park, tomorrow night! See you there!

XO,
H8B

UPCOMING EVENTS

Friday, April 9 – The VIVID 8 Year Anniversary Birthday Party @ WISH
Featuring Marty Gotera (Germany / Sassafras) & Mancub (Space Cowboys)

8 years ago a small neighborhood bar opened it’s door in a not so small neighborhood surrounded by some of the biggest clubs in the city. But what it lacked in size it easily made up for in atmosphere & vibe. The amazing couple that opened WISH, who just happen to be two of the coolest people you could ever hope to meet, poured their heart & soul into making WISH a place that not only felt like home, but had some of the best bartenders serving some of the best drinks, and DJs that embraced an underground music culture.

DJs Seven & Sol made a commitment to WISH way back then to throw some of the best free parties twice a month at this little neighborhood bar and inviting down the some of the city’s most talented DJs into play. The end result is 8 f-ing years of good times, good friends and good music.

This Friday it all goes down as we welcome back 2 of our favorite guests. First up is one of the very first guest DJs to play VIVID way back in 2002, Marty Gotera (Sassafras), who is back from Germany for this special occasion. Not many DJs have a record collection as deep and diverse as Marty, and he’s not afraid to dig deep into the bins to find that ultra rare track to get the party started. Then headlining it like no one else can is the one and only Mancub (Space Cowboys). Known for rocking sets at some of the biggest events, especially Burning Man, this Nitevibe top 10 Dream Team’er is going to bring it home with his signature sound and boxing gloves to boot! …and of course sandwiched right in the middle is Seven & Sol with a special birthday set as the each of them will celebrate their birthdays too. Go Aries!

So come celebrate 8 Years of VIVID this Friday! It all starts at 10pm right after the world famous Flavasauce Happy Hour featuring Reggie, Dave Mak, Fredness, JZ and Justin Case! :-) http://www.flavasauce.com

Soul of Man on the Gough Street Sessions
So earlier this week an unexpected treat was dropped into the Gough Street inbox by our good friend Justin Rushmore, one half of the extraordinary production duo known as Soul of Man (Fingerlickin’ Records). It’s the second volume in Justin’s “Breakin’ in the House” series, a delectable 86-minute everything-but-the-kitchen-sink mash-up that leaves no genre unsampled.

“In recent years DJ sets have been getting back to their eclectic roots, mashing up genres”, says Justin. “In this mix I’ve taken my favorite current house, breaks, disco, electro, techno, even dubstep tunes. These are the big ones destroying my dance floors! Subfocus, Armand Van Helden, Groove Armada, Slyde, Cirez D, Elite Force, Evil 9 and more. Plus, an exclusive tune from my new project Rushmore & Fiasco ‘The Vibe’. Enjoy the Selection!” (And enjoy it we will, Justin. No worries there. I think it’s safe to say this mix is about to find its way to the top of many iTunes playlists!)

There are two ways you can get Justin’s “Breakin in the House” mix:
1. Directly from Box.net
2. Or by subscribing to the Gough Street Sessions
