Grow-Up One Year Anniversary

Description

ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY
with special guests:
Jonas Reinhardt DJS (KRANKY)
CHUNGTECH
(Sweaterfunk)

Jonas Reinhardt DJs:
San Francisco band Jonas Reinhardt prize the analog sounds, organic atmospheres, and the hypnotic rhythms of '70s kraut and synth pioneers (like Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel, etc.) as cornerstones for their output. The band — led by Jesse Reiner, with Phil Manley, Diego Gonzalez, and Damon Palermo, has made the full leap from appreciative re-creation to composing their own stamp on compelling, synth-heavy atmospherics, and driving motorik beats. As DJs, all influences are injected into the soundsystem: any funky and rare slice of electro, disco, kraut, hip-hop, or club classic to occur in the last half century known to set off the shindig becomes fair game.

Chungtech:
Not an enterprise seeking global domination, So-Cal born and Oakland based Chungtech is actually a well-oiled boogie-bot dispatched on a mission to share her love for all things Firme Funk. Upon arrival, total dancefloor devastation tends to ensue. As an esteemed member of the illusive Sweaterfunk and Skratchpad fams, its common knowledge that her record bag, and selection on the decks compels all attendants to burn holes in the dance floor, while simultaneously gaping, guffawing and gasping (just in case, there will be fire extinguishers available on site). In addition to searching for the perfect beat (she happens to have a personal weakness for anything on Rappers Rapp Disco Co. or Saturn Records), she can be found getting nerdy on the screenprinting tip and broadcasting the funk via Accepted Eclectic each Wednesday from 6-7 @ alldayplay.fm.

Grow Up is a sophisticated night of disco, boogie, italo, and other assorted dance musics as performed by the DJs Sick Face, Hotthobo, and Fenstar. After being fed up with the sleazy side of popular dance nights in San Francisco, promoters Sick Face and Hotthobo (formerly of WORK and Pillow Talk) combined forces and interests to create Grow Up, a night that highlighted their favorite tunes, producers and DJs with the focus being specifically on those elements. Each monthly edition of Grow Up features a guest DJ or live performance. There is no cover unless noted.
