Infuse: The Return (to Mission Rock)

Description

One of the premiere party crews in the Bay Area, Opel Productions, brings it all together for this summer blow out party. Infuse :: The Return to Mission Rock, celebrates Opel's return to the original home of some of their first (and some would say their best) parties. It's been 4 years in the making...

The stage is set for something special tonight.

Opel, a staple of the SF nightlife scene is fronted by Renaissance man of the underground Syd Gris (DJ, promoter, psychologist, etc.) Also known for the premiere sound camp he founded at the Burning Man festival, the Opulent Temple, as well as being one of the organizers of the SF LoveFest, America's version of the famous Berlin Loveparade event, and... as being consistently voted one of the top 10 dj's in the city, Syd is a busy man.

Opel got it's start at Mission Rock, transforming the waterfront restaurant into a warm and friendly party vibe seldom seen anymore. Known for their super friendly crowd, as well as their forward thinking taste in dance music, you can bet Opel will be going all out for this one (they had 4 years to rest after all...).

Indoor and outdoor areas with 4 areas of music, including an opulent chill space, decor and belly dance performances, and of course, a stellar line up. Free breakfast will be served at 5am, and the bars will re-open at 6am as the sun will rise over the water with the party still going strong.

Featuring 2 seminal producers in breaks, electro & beyond squaring off:

Uberzone vs. Bassbin Twins.

Some info on the headliners:

Uberzone

"I love the concept of the man-machine writing process, but one thing I realized while making this record is that there's a spirituality in human collaboration. As much as I enjoy working in the studio alone, having another input helps bring out new ideas... Speaking in terms of lateral thinking, it helped burn a few new neural pathways." Q

Uberzone is the brainchild of southern California native Q (named after the "gizmo" -loving James Bond character). Like his namesake, Q is a die-hard collector of all things electronic, and has been collecting electronic-music gear since his early teens.

His early singles, "Botz" and "The Freaks", released on taste-maker indie dance label City of Angels, were critically acclaimed club tracks that established Q as one of the leading American producers of breakbeat music. These singles were charted consistently by DJs like Florida's DJ Icey and the UK's Adam Freeland, among others. His remixes of Sarah McLachlan, The Crystal Method and BT also established him as one of the biggest names in the American dance scene. Spin Magazine named Uberzone as one of the six producers to create "the biggest beats ever."

Q does have Faith in the Future. "Sometime during my life I turned from a pessimist into an optimist. Faith in the Future ties into technology, electronic music and my lasting desire to live in the Jetson Age." Perhaps that's why Uberzone's debut album, "Faith in the Future" has a feeling to it unlike any other electronic album. It recalls influences from quirky sci-fantasy film soundtracks to "Planet Rock" to dream-pop to the energetic, future breaks that Uberzone has created in ways no one else can approach.

Bassbin Twins

Bassbin Twins have been releasing records in the underground dance music scene since 1992 including their own Bassbin Twins Volume series, ep's for labels like Skint and Southern Fried, SSR, Marine Parade, Mute, Spider Cuts, and numerous remixes for artists including Boogie Down Productions, Evil 9, DJ Punk Roc, Dub Pistols, Freakpower, etc.

The Bassbin Twins live set is an anything goes mix bringing in broken beats both old and new school, jacking tech house, electro, and funky drum and bass all put through the Bassbin blender and mashed in the name of up for it party music.

The Bassbin Twins live set aims to be fun, unpredictable, and one of the guaranteed highlights of any event.
