Main Room: RAIZ (Droid Recordings) ZENITH (Re:Edit | Funkentanzen) SI MOORE (Re~Set) JAMES DEMON (Re:Edit | Dancing Demons) FreeDub Back Room: MOZAIC JONBOY (FreeDub) LISA ROSE Raiz (Droid Recordings / LA) https://soundcloud.com/raiz-droid http://droidbehavior.com/ Los Angeles born and bred, Vangelis and Vidal Vargas were raised in the ’80s on a steady diet of Latin freestyle, electro, and new wave that pervaded their urban environment. Their father also exposed them to cutting edge progressive acts Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk, planting early seeds for aural exploration. By the mid ’90s they were sampling LA’s underground club scene and heavily researching electronic music’s roots. After years of influence they began to express their musical vision through their own recordings and performances. Vidal and Vangelis eventually found common ground with producer / performer Drumcell, and in 2002 they formed the Droid Behavior event production group and record label out of frustration with the city’s lack of knowledge, acceptance, and understanding for Midwest-bred techno and house music and their European counterparts. As producers Vangelis and Vidal have released and licensed original music and remixes under various aliases (most notably Acid Circus and Raíz) on the Droid Recordings imprint as well as respected labels Historia y Violencia, Tora Tora Tora, DJMag, Music Man, Resident Advisor, Enemy Rec, Gynoid, Reloading, Micro.Fon and Timefog. Their music has been charted, played and supported by Speedy J, Chris Liebing, Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock, DVS1, Levon Vincent, Jonas Kopp, etc. Their intense and inspiring performances have placed them alongside major players Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Derrick May, Dan Bell, Surgeon, Sandwell District, Robag, Paco Osuna, Pan Pot, Marco Carola, Detroit Grand Pubahs, and Berghain Residents at undergrounds, festivals, after hours, and club nights from North and South America to Berlin. Raíz fully harness the capabilities of Traktor, Ableton, and Maschine technology to create a thick blend of techno's many variants. They take cues from years of classical training to infuse dynamic musical expression with a delicate balance of mixing board acrobatics and symbiotic intuition. Years of production experience inform their Live PA / Digital DJ hybrid approach, which uses each track’s core essentials to form a narrative arch for every unique set. Their releases follow suit and take only key elements from each rhythmic style to shape simplistic and deep music that captures their diverse influences and personal impressions.

Sun 5/19: Ant TC1 (Dispatch Recordings) NO COVER!

We could not be more excited to bring the bad man behind Dispatch and one of the wickedest selectors in the game through to Stamina Sundays! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ant TC1 along with Hidden Agenda founded Dispatch Recordings back in 2001, Ant originally helped out with the management side of the label before finding his feet within the realms of production; which was a natural progression for him having DJ’d on pirate radio and in clubs from the age of 15 (since 1993). His first release along side frequent studio partner Stress Level appeared on Dispatch after almost 3 years of hard work getting their collective sound where they felt it needed to be in the studio before even thinking about turning on a DAT recorder. After their first release aired they quickly picked up a wealth of dj support on their early material and went on to release for a who’s who list of established Drum & Bass record labels including the likes of Renegade, CIA, Advanced, Critical Records Integral, Liquid V, Commercial Suicide, Good Looking Records, Bingo beats and Samurai Music. By demand remix work started to feature heavily within their output and the duo went on to remix for the likes of Hidden Agenda, Chris SU, Artificial Intelligence, Kabuki, Total Science, Optical & Ryme Time (Jagged Edge), Atlantic Connection, Tactile & DJ Marky. Ant’s production output has featured on a mass of compilations and mix cd’s compiled by the likes of Shy FX, LTJ Bukem, Total Science, AI, Spectrasoul, Klute and Brian G. Additionally his work has featured very heavily within the BBC radio 1 shows of Friction, Grooverider, Fabio & Bailey on their respective slots over the years. His DJ work has seen him play all over the globe from Adelaide to Los Angeles, from Hong Kong to Budapest, Tel-Aviv to Bangkok and last but by no means least regularly UK wide. Fast forward to 2013 and Ant is now solely responsible for the running & label manager role of Dispatch Recordings; having released a mix CD compilation, the hugely successful “Transit One” album in 2011 (which topped almost all the usual stores weekly dance music sales charts across all formats) as well as a fine list of consistently quality single and EP releases from the likes of Survival, Break, Octane & DLR , Marcus Intalex, Commix, AI, Chris SU, Zero T, Cern, Dabs, Skeptical, Dub Phizix, Spinline, himself (and many more). Ant has recently remixed material for the likes of Lomax (Loadstar), Sunchase, Cern & Dabs as well as having his own solo work remixed by rising star Xtrah and working on further collabs with the likes of Survival and DLR. Ant also continues to run his own monthly night at ‘Momentum’ in Leeds (which is headed into it’s 10th year) as well as managing the renowned Metalheadz label & it’s events worldwide (for none other than the D&B legend that is Goldie) and still continuing to dj across the globe on an ever-frequent basis. http://dispatchrecordings.com/ http://soundcloud.com/anttc1 http://www.youtube.com/dispatchrecordings http://www.surus.co.uk/dispatch-recordings/home.aspx http://twitter.com/#!/AntTC1 http://www.facebook.com/DispatchRecordings ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ + Residents...

5/22: HOUSEPITALITY feat. TRUS'ME, TYREL WILLIAMS vs. SPECIAL GUEST, & JP SOUL

( ( ( ( (H O U S E P I T A L I T Y) ) ) ) ) proudly presents an exclusive set from a world-class Manchester-based DJ/producer, effortlessly channeling the sounds and history of deep house & techno from Chicago, Detroit, the UK, and beyond, with: ::TRUS'ME (Prime Numbers, Fat City, Illusion | UK):: Support by Housepitality's finest, with a tag set from: ::TYREL WILLIAMS (Acid Test, Housepitality | SF/Chicago):: vs. ::SPECIAL GUEST (Special Label | Specialtown, US):: Groove Lounge ::JP SOUL (Roam Recordings | San Francisco):: Housepitality fans who are DJs, dance music enthusiasts, or music dorks in general will recognize the Trus'me name, as this Manchester-based artist has been responsible for many of the amazing, forward-thinking cuts popular in our scene today. Collaborating with past Housepitality guests (and house music heavyweights) Chez Damier, Alton Miller, and many other names from the moment (Motor City Drum Emsemble, Dam Funk, Amp Fiddler), Trus'me has a pedigree that is simply undeniable. The name "Trus'me" is, of course, related to the words "Trust me," something you want to hear from a DJ who is about to curate the best in house, techno, soul, and funk, directly to your ears.... and in this case, you can trust David Wolstencraft (aka Trus'me) to do exactly that; he's a big name, an incredible producer, and someone we're extremely proud and honored to host. To open for an artist of this stature, we've brought out our best as well: Tyrel Williams, a vinyl maven, a Chicago-trained and SF-tempered, world-class artist and crate-digger, who will be tagging with a very special guest (who we can't announce) for a full 3 hour opening set. At this point, most of you have heard Tyrel's DJ sets, and for those who have, you can skip to the next paragraph. But if you haven't, let's get you on the (soul) train: Tyrel is amazing, and a great guy to boot. From Chicago's Smart Bar and Acid Test parties, to SF's underground, and our very special Housepitality night, Tyrel is one of the most entertaining, skilled, and knowledgeable DJs around. And as to our special guest... you'll just have to trust us that you know him, you love him, and he won't ever let you down. JP Soul, aka Jason Peters, founded SF's Roam Recordings, and has the depth of knowledge, the deep crates, the best attitude, and some of the better dance moves among our deeply-talented local crew. Whether house, deep house, soul, funk, disco... he can make the crowd move, and will keep our Groove Lounge funkin' hard, all night long. We are big fans of JP, and we know you'll be as well. That's why we keep having him back, time after time. Happy Wednesday folks! The details: FREE before 11pm with RSVP at www.housepitalitysf.com/rsvp otherwise $5 before 11pm, $10 after FREE champagne from 9pm-10pm $5 Jameson (with mention of Housepitality discount) Streaming LIVE at http://housepitalitylive.com/ ******************************************************* Trus'me With his love for music tracing way back to an early age by dabbling with various instruments and then moving on to develop a passion for record collecting, Trus’me found his calling after learning the art of mixing and sample digging. Surrounded by the heads of Manchester and its deep rooted music scene, one couldn’t deny that it was an effortless task to be exposed to good music from all genres, thus explaining his constantly evolving tastes as evident in his eclectic DJ sets as well as in his uniquely, diverse productions. “Like bookends some 12’s will work with both the beginning and the end of the night, such is the classy sampling from Trus’me” (Peter Nicholson, XLR8R). The much reputed CD sampler “Nards” that was responsible for initialing releases on Chicago’s Still Music label, inevitably sparked off Trus’me’s promising musical career. Seeing support from respected names such as Ashley Beedle, Juan Atkins, Mad Matts, Gilles Peterson and Chez Damier plus his productions selling out at record stores from Manchester to Tokyo, led to the highly successful release of his debut album, “Working Nights”, on Fat City Recordings, that’s hailed by most to be a timeless album, still finding devotees to this day. Not one to rest on his laurels, the label Prime Numbers was set up and quickly gained an unfaltering reputation for highly collectable and exceptional music from artistes such as Move D, Actress, Linkwood, Fudge Fingas, Motorcity Drum Ensemble; all artistes that fit the ethos and style that Trus’me continues to carry a torch for. In 2009, his highly anticipated follow-up album, “In The Red” that featured the likes of Chez, Damier, Amp Fiddler and Dam Funk further cemented his place in the House scene and set off a flurry remixes for acts such as LCD Soundsystem, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Alton Miller, Anthony Shake Shakir and more, including non-stop touring to clubs and festivals alike in Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, North America, South America and of course, in his backyard, the city of Manchester where it all began. https://soundcloud.com/trusme http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/trusme https://www.facebook.com/trusme ******************************************************* Tyrel Williams Tyrel has been a mainstay of Chicago’s underground House scene for years. He began mixing records in 1999. Soon later he landed a job at Gramaphone Records where he spent the last decade building a mighty collection of 12” dance records. He spent 2009-2011 building his Acid Test residency at Smart Bar, which is an ongoing all vinyl House / Techno weekly dedicated to the true art form of DJing. Guests have included Miles Maeda, Derrick Carter, Tevo Howard, Traxx, and Justin Long. Tyrel has recently moved to San Francisco where he is a resident DJ for Housepitality and has also started his Acid Test SF party with Bryan Bai-ee, Miguel Solari, Fil Latorre, and Luke Nasaw. https://www.facebook.com/djtyrelwilliams/ https://soundcloud.com/tyrelwilliams http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/tyrelwilliams ******************************************************* JP Soul https://soundcloud.com/jpsoul http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/jpsoul ******************************************************* Enjoy handcrafted cocktails by our very own groove lounge mixologist.

Thurs 5/23: Art + Bands = <3

A night of visual and aural art coming together for all the senses. Gallery champagne reception, live art performances, raw treats for sale in the back room, and two SF Rock Bands. And all of this is happening at F8. Yes, that venue that used to be called Icon lounge and that usually has DJs playing electronic music. Well, not tonight my friends, not tonight. Thursday May 23rd 9pm artist reception with free champagne 10pm the rock 'n roll music starts @F8 1192 Folsom St. SF $10 cash at the door/ 21+ to enter Illusion of Self (headliners) Illusion of Self is a rock & roll band formed by Frank Salazar, Miles Deiaco, and Raymond Jones. They blend the vibe and tones of classic 60’s and 70’s rock with an aggressive, emotional, feel of the 90’s while remaining modern and progressive. The vocals capture the audience with a slightly bluesy yet over-driven attack. Miles’ sultry low end on the bass lays a firm foundation for the intense array of guitar sounds. Raymond’s (Random Mysticks) intricate and hard hitting drum patterns force the audience to listen up and move around. This 3 piece trio came up out of San Francisco and wouldn’t have it any other way. http://facebook.com/illusionofselfsf I AM ANIMAL (official live debut) "How nice it is to take up a familiar sound again,” says I Am Animal, “and draw new lines from the traditional mouth.” A sound you think could be equal parts lighthouse and alleyway, tides surging and nightmares thudding. Or a story told with indelicate layerings of guitars, synthesizers rumbling and voices trembling with urgency. I am Animal is composed of Daniel Clark, Ryan Joseph, and Charles Scheinblum. http://soundcloud.com/iamanimal Holden Pumphrey (fine art opening of "falling out") The professional arts career of Holden began in writing and painting, but she does not subscribe to any single media.
