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!

In case you didn’t know, Slayers Club is taking over 2010. Just sayin’…

Been listening to a lot of The xx, Lykke Li, Of Porcelain… along with down-tempo and mash ups/remixes I come across ever so often (such a sucker for mash ups!) but I can’t seem to get enough of these melodic voices combined with yummy beats… so beautiful and inspiring; the kind of music that touches you deep within, the kind that gets your blood pumping and your heart dancing. The kind that represents this specific time in your life: the right now.  Anyways, I’ve been a complete fiend for it. Hunting through music blogs till my eyes hurt.. the satisfaction has proved worth it.

changes are happening and time is flying quickly. I want to remember these moments forever and when the future has arrived, I will continue to time travel through these songs and feel like this again.

have a listen, you might be able to see where I’m coming from. These have been on repeat like whoa

The xx – Shelter (Flinch Remix)

Brenda Lee – I’m Sorry (Woodhead & Blenda Remix)

GladKill – N.A.S.A. most gifted (GK remix)

Volcano Choir – Still

Moderat – A new error

love,

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

After that I got lost in the BLAP. MC Supa 13 was also there to represent. Of course Freddie Future was there to deck smack ya in the face with the bass as it traveled down to your magical pppplace. Unfortunately Matt Haze couldn’t be there so this one’s for him and everyone else that should’ve been there. Yes, YOU.

I’ve seen this crew come a long way since covering my first Slayers Club event on 4/20 weekend this year in the AIDS cycle benefit outlaw party in Dolores Park. I’ve also seen a lot of you coming back week after week. It’s absolutely my happyness to see yours.

After Michael and J. left the stage, selecta Chief Boima fired up the dancefloor business, with the Slayers Club and our special guest TELESEEN standing by, ready to whomp.

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!

-Howian out!!

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!

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).
