THE COLONEL AT GOLDSWEAT

It's that time of the month again. The fourth installment of GOLDSWEAT featuring The WHAT WHAT with The Colonel MC and Big Sounds. If Lovevolution left you feeling like you need more, this is the party for you.

The night will also feature Sticky K, Pance Party, Casemo, and Philthy Rodriguez. Free before 11pm, $5 after.

LOVEVOLUTION IS HERE

Music parades, naked men, outdoor drinking, outdoor smoking, freaks, geeks, lovers, haters, drugs, dancing and general rowdiness is what makes San Francisco what is it. So make sure you get your ass out on OCTOBER 3 and come spend the day with BADNB and COMPRESSION as we take part in a San Francisco classic: LOVEVOLUTION.

The BADNB float will be in full fx all day from 11:30 a.m. when it's just about time to crack open that first beer of the day and pop that first ecstasy pill, until 8:30 p.m. when you are feeling so crazy that you can't even remember what your mamma's name is. Compression stars will help keep the day going with DJ Sharp playing at 1:30 p.m., DJ Lukeino playing at 6:50 p.m., and 2Cents closing out the night at 7:30 p.m. The Colonel MC and MC Ax!om will be hosting the event. See you there, and MAKE SURE YOU BRING EARPLUGS. (Full lineup after the jump.)

When LOVEVOLUTION finishes and you are not ready to go home because the 10th ecstasy pill you took has just kicked in and you just smoked a joint that is making you see colors, don't despair, just walk your trippin ass over to 6th Street for the LOVEVOLUTION AFTERPARTY AT CLUB 6.



That's right, there is a fucking AFTERPARTY that goes until 3 a.m. and is just blocks from the Civic Center. Staring DJ PENDULUM, this party is not to be missed.

You can sleep when you die, so for now, come spend the day with us and while you will likely wake up with a wicked headache the next day, your mouth tasting like a bum's asshole, sleeping next to one or more people you have never seen before, you will not regret a moment of it.

BADNB SESSIONS: 2 Cents & the Colonel

OH-KAY?! Shit yes, 2 CENTS and THE COLONEL are closing out the BADNB SESSIONS in July. Ain't no party like a Sixth Street party, especially when FSOUND is running the soundsystem. Expect poo-inducing bass and pedal-tothe-metal drum and bass fury!!

And it ain't but five bucks, baby BABY!!

2 Cents & Colonel rock the SHELTER

YES! Next Tuesday your boys 2 CENTS are dropping "something different" at Shelter. What the fuck does that mean? Maybe it's an oldschool set, maybe it's an all Full Cycle set 1998-2002, maybe it's a drum funk set. Okay, it's definitely not a drumfunk set, LOL.

COLONEL is backing them up, and also on the night are local legends MIKE B and PUSH, dropping old school DnB FATNESS. Shelter honcho CANNADUB and Lower Hater NESTA are opening the night with the Chronicy jams, so, shit: grab your stash, grab a few bucks for some cheap drinks, and let's get to skankin!

Your mom said to tell you she'd be there (but don't get sad if she's too wasted to recognize you!)

This Saturday is going to RULE: 420 vibes on UNDERGROUD SF'S notorious smoking porch, newly reinforced bass at the club, only $5 to get in and cheap, cheap ass drinks all night long, featuring the sounds of COMPRESSION'S DJ SHARP and the COLONEL MC playing a rare VIP set together.

Also on the night are out good friends from REFLEX and SHELTER, including the mighty duos of LUKEINO and AX!OM MC, the HEIGHTS and McDuhhh, and SALOKIN with ZEZO. Notice: 1 DJ paired with 1 MC at a time. Just like you always hoped would happen.

SO, SAN FRANCISCO, LET'S GET HIGH AND STAY LOOOOOW.

WORLD of DRUM and BASS SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO it's time again for the big one, the mother of all drum and bass motherships, over SIX HOURS LONG and FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS LOUD, THREE ROOMS of dance music excellence, thank god almighty it's time again for the
WORLD OF
DRUM AND
BASS




This year we got Ram Records, Metalheadz, V Recordings and Formation in the house--which is to say we've got the widest variety of drum and bass vibes to every touch down on San Francisco at once. We got dubstep, live beats, hip-hop and booty bass. We got outdoor smoker's paradise, upstairs lover's rock, and downstairs down and dirty. We got BIG reinforced sound by FSOUND. Junglists, party people, dancers and heads, this year is going to be simply WICKED.

CLICK HERE FOR PRESALES AND GET READY TO RUMBLE

Now, let's talk about the utter awesomeness of that line-up:

IN THE CATACOMBS, WITH REINFORCED SOUND BY FSOUND

CHASE AND STATUS

At the 2008 1 Xtra Drum and Bass awards, Ram Records' CHASE AND STATUS won PRODUCERS OF THE YEAR, SONG OF THE YEAR ("Take Me Away") and ALBUM OF THE YEAR ("More Than A Lot"). In short, CHASE AND STATUS are the biggest thing in drum and bass right now, and they represent all flavors of the D&B spectrum: tought and edgy, funky and bouncing, smooth and rolling. They aren't playing the WORLD of DRUM and BASS MIAMI, so we are especially STOKED that they will be touching down for the WORLD of DRUM and BASS SAN FRANCISCO. Like your mama's ass, this will be BIG.

BAILEY

Ninja please. Do we need to say anything about BAILEY? He is a Metalheadz resident DJ of over 10 years, an award winning radio host (1Xtra BBC), a label owner (Intasound), A&R assistant for Goldie’s label (Rufige) and is increasing his high profile as a producer with releases under his belt on Full Cycle and Metalheadz. In other words, BAILY is the OG, um, OJ--ORIGINAL JUNGLIST. Nobody knows what kind of set he will drop on March 20th--it might be deep, it might be in your face, it might crunch or might croon, but we can all be certain it will be something to remember. COMPRESSION is very VERY excited to have Bailey in the house.


DJ SS

Founder of Formation Records, legendary producer of the seminal track "LIGHTER!," creator and manager of the WORLD of DRUM and BASS, COMPRESSION professor emeritus and one of the greatest, most exciting drum and bass DJ's in the world--DJ SS is a motherfucking pimp. Plus, if you're a COMPRESSION head and have seen him when he's come through before, you know that SS behind the COMPRESSION decks equals extreme, epic mayhem. He never fails to disappoint, and is going to bounce TEMPLE as hard as it's ever been bounced. READY.

KENNY KEN

You know about the MIX AN BLEN? YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE MIX AND BLEN?!? Hahahah, what the fuck, KENNY KEN is coming to San Francisco, and oh boy is Colonel ready for this one. Winner of the Junglist Soundclash back in 1994, KENNY KEN has been bouncing the fuck out of the world ever since. Alongside partner Crissy Chris, he's he head of the Mix and Blen label, has featured on BBC Radio (alongside MC GQ--look for those classic sets), continues to prove one of the rowdies and most fun DnB DJ's alive. This is one for the wobblers, so jump-up heads get ready.


ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

This one's for the smokers, no DOUBT! ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE roll deep, sometimes dark, and always funky as fuck, and have appeared on Full Cycle, Good Looking, and every other DnB label that values ROLLING FUNK. If you remember the last time they were in town (at that weird little bar over there by Mezzanine), you know they about burned that mother to the ground. Shit, ask Zach--he hooked up with like three different chickS in there that night, it was so fucking funky. COME WITH IT!!

INFLUX

Sheeot, what is there to say about INFLUX UK? The loverman of the Formation camp, INFLUX burned down the world in 2007 with "It's Love," and at the WoDnB 2007 warmed up the whole club to ramming speed. INFLUX is for the ladies, and the lovers, and anyone who likes their DnB soulful and funky. YES MAN!!


2 CENTS

COMPRESSION'S own 2CENTS have played Germany, Miami, Estonia, Los Angeles and every other motherfugging place in between, but now, with new releases on LIFE RECORDINGS under their belts, they're coming to rock TEMPLE and give the big boys a run for their money. GO ON, DJ's AYE~N and MAL, bust that shit up! COMPRESSION CREW HOOOOOO!!


FEATURING MCS:
TALI :: THE COLONEL MC :: AX1OM
AUDIO ANGEL :: BIGGIE :: G1 :: ZEZO


IN THE LIVE MUSIC ROOM HOSTED BY RADIOACTIVE FROM
SPEARHEAD


GREENLAW

We here at COMPRESSION and the WORLD of DRUM and BASS recognize that all that D&B can crush your face and chew you up like gum. That's why we've got the live room and groups like GREENLAW. Open, airy, and funky as funk, GREENLAW is like Sade recording over at Portishead's house with Gilles Peterson and Lee Perry manning the decks. Funky, dubby, soulful and fun. A great compliment to the thunder and lightnin in the basement, GREENLAW will make the sun come out upstairs . . .


BEATROPOLIS

Add in San Francisco's own BEATROPOLIS and you've got a match made in dancefloor heaven. Touting an entirely distinctinctive mix of live D&B, soul, funk, and trip-hop, BEATROPOLIS is impossible to define, but absolutely easy to love. And with COMPRESSION MCs AX1OM and AUDIO ANGEL on the mic, you know that shit's going to be smooth and exciting. COMPRESSION is super psyched to see our hometown crew rolling on the national stage, and couldn't be more stoked that they're going to BLOW IT UP at WODNB.

WITH SUPPORT FROM:
PHLECK :: PAUL HEMMING :: TONE


AND IN THE DUBSTEP ROOM

SHARP :: SAM SUPA :: LUKEINO
HAVOC :: TONE


INSANE REINFORCED SOUND BY FSOUND
As DnB legend BRYAN GEE said on his PYRO RADIO show after the World of Drum and Bass last year: "It was the loudest sound I ever heard in a club that small--louder even than VALVE."
PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR EARPLUGS

Last Year, we had some complaints about the size of the line out front, so please, play it smart: Buy pre-sale tickets now and get there early to avoid hearing the fattest bassline of your life and still being stuck in line!

AND THINK LIKE A RAVER: SWEATBANDS, SUNGLASSES, INTOXICANTS AND GOOD VIBES!

STAY LOW with Compression Crew

Our good friends at REFLEX are throwing a new monthly throw-down called STAY LOW, and COMPRESSION crew is stoked to be involved on the inagural night.

Roll out to UNDERGROUND SF (two blocks east of our LOWER HATER headquarters) and check the bouncing sounds of 2 CENTS, SHARP, MC AX!OM, and THE COLONEL. Also on the night are REFLEX bossman (and SF promoter extraordinaire) LUKEINO, BIG SOUNDS, MC ZEZO, and SF's newest DnB upstart, ESKAE. As always, this will be bootie-rockin BIG BEATS, even BIGGER BASS, and the sort of sexy-ass antics you expect from Compression Crew.



$5 ALL NIGHT, insanely stiff, cheap drinks, and all the hands-in-the-air drum and bass you can stand. COMPRESSION HEADS, COME THROUGH--WE MISS YOU!!
