Nothing says “summer” like two 18″ subs, a couple of turntables and 75 of our closest friends going bonkers in an old quarry for a few days. Here’s a couple pics (props to Cudunko for the lens-work!):

Vladimir Computin throwing down crazy forest-disco till’ the generator ran out…

Jupiter from Funk-N-Chunk torching the BBQ to get ‘er going…

Freddie Future holding down the dalyight dance party…

All the excitement really wore Yoshi out…

If you didn’t make it this year, don’t sleep next time! This spot is gorgeous and well worth the drive.

Slayers Club will be representing at some other outdoor-campout-type parties this summer, notably The Big Bounce and Priceless. Boh!

Matt Haze, Manitous, and Freddie Future hit the decks kamikaze-style. In the frenzy of tight curves and mixing beats, butt presses and “excuse me”s became “wutever it’s a party!!”

With over 35 of us, we were a multi-dimensional balancing act with drinks and bass, surfing and flying through the San Francisco night. Rest stops in Treasure Island and the eastern waterfront, reminiscent of illegal urban outlaws as I watched angels give life to abandoned industrial playgrounds. Somewhere between lap dance orgies and the search for a modest enough place to pee, a sense of tranquility bestowed upon me.. and I wished it upon everyone I knew who couldn’t be there.

You missed out. =P

Come and join us this year for our 2nd annual FNC/SC Summer kickoff.. Contact us if your interested! Date is set for May 28, ’10

I love the old school motown vibe that this track gives off. The vocal harmonies reminds me of the Temptations or some where along the lines of Chi-Lites. I love the rawness of the vocals as well. It’s not auto-tuned or overly produced.. This track is frickin’ DOPE!! Much thanks to my nephew, Joal for schooling me on this track.

Hope you all enjoy!

The occasion? Our good friend Marco (owner of Little Baobab and Bollyhood) lost his entire sound system to thieves a while back. We combined with Stay Human to throw a good old fashioned fundraiser for him. All told, we raised nearly two thousand dollars toward a new rig for Marco…knowing full well that we’ll get to rock it soon!

We were supposed to spin some records…yyyyyeah. We ended up doing a lot of standing around. The worst part was, they wouldn’t let us go in the bouncy castle! WTF?!

We think Sebastian (aka DJ Blood In Your Eyes) had more fun than anyone else!

“This the BEST weekly in SF!”, shouted Kid Kameleon over his DJ set.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.

The LovEvolution experience was nothing short of incredible. Besides the beautiful weather and our amazing friends, we had the luxury of a very diverse and ever-changing crowd! This freed us to really do something we love: bridge many genres and styles, spanning everything from glitch-hop to cumbia, dubstep to fidget and beyond. It also required discipline to prevent a stylistically incoherent clusterf**k, especially since we were taking turns on the decks in a 5-way tag-team! This meant we were constantly on our toes to function as a unit, paying extra attention to the preceding DJs before continuing a stylistic trend or taking things in a new direction. Factor in the madly swaying DJ booth and regular threat of power lines (open top clearance was 13 ft while some of the MUNI lines were as low as 14 ft?!) and that was no easy task!

Luckily, every one of us was on point and collectively all challenges were slayed. Yeahh team!! Things were made easier when Joe Mousepad lyrically lit the mic on FIRE with his diverse rhythms and choice words.

Silly antics ensued:

Thanks again to the Janky Barge fam, TRBL crew, and LovEvolution organizers for makin’ this happen! There’s truly nothing like getting to play *all* your favorite dance genres while rollin’ through a major downtown avenue with beautiful, awesome people -

such as Absurge, our Terenga guest from August 20th:

(and yes, maybe even Tim counts)

I’ll conclude the videos with some ground footage that I found on Youtube. These clips were posted by other spectators, not me. For our photos, click here. See you out there next year!

Mega-thanks to everyone who made the Janky Barge party happen…can’t wait to blap with you guys again soon!

Get ready for this week’s Terenga Bass Session with KID KAMELEON and TINKER!!!!

Let’s not forget the lovelies…

Stay tune- more to come! We’ll be featuring footage from SF LOVE PARADE 2009 where this reporter has never seen so much ass so young in one place.

Check out Up In The Cuts for more subscience from these two characters.

ALSO: just a heads-up, SlyrsClb is welcoming the fabulous DJ Forest Green to Terenga this week, and we’ll be rocking out with the TRBL crew on the Janky Barge for the love-parade-type-event this Saturday (I refuse to call it “Love-O-Matic” or whatever).

Consider yourself WARNED.

When I was a kid, I would get so stoked about going to the local amusement park. Being a super-ADHD specimen, I wanted to simultaneously ride all the biggest rollercoasters, get on the rotor (gravity-defying wheel thing) and bumper cars while snarfing handfuls of fried dough, cotton candy and an XL slushy. Endgame was always the same: stained shirt, dazed expression and a goofy-ass grin on my blue teeth.

This Thursday, Slayers Club takes you back to that amusement park with our first out-of-town guest, JANTSEN of the Family Moons collective, from Boulder, CO.

JANTSEN has been repping his original glitch-crunk sounds hard as of late, recently releasing a track with BASSNECTAR and rocking the Half Moon Festival in LA. Prepare yourself for a set of remixes and exclusives from this fast-rising producer/DJ.

Also a low-end force to be reckoned with, ABSURGE brings a pre-playa blend of wonky treats to dismantle the dancefloor. Repping both the TRBL and FRINGE crews, this dude is like a union boss on blast in the booth. His demands: higher levels and lower bass frequencies from the speaks, reckless abandon from your feet.

Slayers Club Holdin’ It Down:

JOE MOUSE
MANITOUS
LOKAE
PROFESSOR BANG
FREDDIE FUTURE
MATT HAZE

Hardcore – you know the score.

JANTSEN – GUTTER MUSIC DJ MIX (direct link)

DJS MANITOUS / LOKAE / PROFESSOR BANG / MATT HAZE / FREDDIE FUTURE
MASTER OF CEREMONIES: JOE MOUSEPAD

FRIDAY 8.21 | 10PM | $5 b4 11pm, $10 ALL NITE AFTER

Mighty is proud to present a showcase of the West Coast future sound movement featuring Kraddy, support will come from none other than close friends ANA SIA and Mozaic. Doors are at 10pm. Cover is just $5 before 11pm and $10 all nite after.

Kraddy’s music implicates cybernetic breaks with asymmetrical dub delays and hip hop grooves with dark ethereal melodies. At times his music is technical and frenetic and calls to mind images of genetically mutated earthworms, poping and locking deep underground to sub atomic frequencies, causing minute shifts in the structure and alignment of the tectonic plates, that over millennia will alter the magnetic core of the planet and thus change its frequency field steering its evolution towards greater harmony and a more peaceful form.

Other times he weaves together webs of moody etheresque clouds akin to the sounds of alternate life forces manipulating hydrogen and carbon molecules into biomechanical nanobots that imperceptibly permeate the neuronets of sleeping subjects from light years away in a methodical attempt to preserve and record the neural, synaptic and chemical makeup of all matter.

Ana Sia’s love of electronic music combined with an innate understanding of the value of dance to the human soul collectively fuse to create unforgettable sets of experience, whether she is slamming spots in her hometown of San Francisco or taking her turn in the forests of music festivals around the country.

Ana’s energetic delivery of brain-fazing beats has earned the Princess Slay-ah an important spot in pioneering the West Coast future sound movement. She will take you on a musical expedition into the deepest reaches of your brain, as she masterfully blends a wide spectrum of rhythms with a beautiful fluidity and a delicate sensibility, giving the dance floor a delightful ride that ends at the corner of bliss and oblivion.

Uniting the best elements of dirty dubstep, grimy glitch, and her personalized blend of “global slut psy-hop,” Ana Sia’s sets confirm crunk status of all who dare enter into her seamless world of sound.

On any given weekend, if Mozaic’s not behind the decks (he played over 100 gigs during 2008), you’ll likely find him on the dancefloor, which is what makes the 10-year veteran a dancer’s DJ. Mozaic has built a reputation on solid mixing and fearless genre-hopping: tech-house, techno, broken beat, 2-step, midtempo and dub all find their way into his arsenal- sometimes within a single set. Recently, you also may have seen/heard Mozaic’s collaboration with EPROM, Hookerz & Blow; they’ve been laying waste to dancefloors up and down the West Coast with their live dj/laptop sets, and had recent remixes rinsed by everyone from Basement Jaxx to Jesse Rose to Annie Mac (on her May 2008 Essential Mix).

Speaking of live, peep this ill video taken at the Londontown Googleplex:

Not only was Prince-on-a-stick in FULL effect…and bearing an uncanny resemblance to DJ Manitous…

…but people actually brought GLOWSTICKS! In fact, they were GIANT GLOWSTICKS! Now, as many of you know, this is a telltale sign that your club is really starting to blow up. I mean, next we’re gonna have some dude walking around saying, “Molly, doses, I got bomb press tabs…” or something.

Dude, Prince-on-a-stick looks hella scary in the blacklight.
