"This is a very well produced and entertaining mix. The tunes are straight raved the f out imo (which I enjoy btw). But I really did want to make a point that Colonels MCing is absolutly fucking exceptional on this! Honestly one of the best MC performances on a mix that I've heard in a long while. Very original and very diverse. MC's should take note."--Odyssey DnB (Monterey)

"It is the fire, esp beginning until about 20-25min mark. If you can jungle step in a car while driving, that's what i was doing in my head on my drive home yesterday. Someone at a stop light asked what I was listening to . . .I pulled the CD out the deck and said here take it, check it out . . .this is some Bay Area Drum N Bass!!"--Hapapride (Bayraves)

"mix does exactly what it says on the tin. Not the type of thing I'd usually listen to (on purpose), but, not entirely unlistenable either, which says more than 99% of the jumpup mixes I've heard."--Focusyn (DOA)

February 19: BRYAN GEE RETURNS TO COMPRESSION

BRYAN GEE

BRYAN GEE


MOTHERFUCKIN

BRYAN GEE!


Holy fucking shit, it's the DUKE of drum and bass, BRYAN GEE. As head honcho of COMPRESSION'S all-time favorite record label, V RECORDINGS, BRYAN GEE discovered and signed everyone from RONI SIZE to KRUST to DJ DIE to DJ MARKY from Brazil.

As a DJ, though, GEE proves time and again that nobody DJs drum and bass as well as him. The man is a motherf*cking drum and bass WIZARD. A larger-than-life, stoned to the bejeesus belt, upside-down NINJA of ultimate bass funkification. And just like he's been rocking his legendary London club night MOVEMENT for the last decade, GEE is coming to COMPRESSION once again to remind everyone of just how that sh*t is done.

Check out a blistering recent live set from BRYAN GEE here:

Or peep out a mix of V RECORDINGS classics, performed here on Grooverider's radio show a few months back (at a little after the hour mark):

ALSO PERFORMING:

DANNY THE WILDCHILD

COMPRESSION also welcomes back resident DANNY THE WILDCHILD. Another drum & bass legend, the WILDCHILD has been rocking stateside audiences like a hurricane for well over 15 years. Chopping, scratching, flipping and otherwise FUNKING UP the turntables in ways you never thought possible, the WILDCHILD takes the bouncingest tracks you ever heard and bounces them harder.

Like BRYAN GEE, the WILDCHILD is only ever aimed at rocking the dancefloor. So limber up! This night is going to work your shit out!

Get at DANNY the WILDCHILD'S classic "JUNGLE BOOK" mix here:

Also on the night are COMPRESSION resident badasses 2 CENTS, LUKEINO, MC AX!OM and THE COLONEL MC.And check it: this is the Colonel's first night back after a three-month hiatus with his new baby girl, so look for that man to lose his mind and RIP SHIT UP!

IN THE RUKKUZ ROOM:

TRILLBASS



We bring you bass warrior, SWYTCH of TRILLBASS. His mission is to rock a party with SUPER BASS. Swytch is just one of the four members of the crew that has defined a new sound in the world of Dubstep for the past few years.

With releases on labels all over the world, Including Rottun Recordings (Can), Shift Recordings (U.S), Ruff Records (France), Code of Arms (U.S) and their own 'Trillbass Records' Vinyl label, This crew continues to push their futuristic take on the dubstep genre to the basshead masses worldwide. Alongside a large collection of Digital releases and mixtapes, they continue to be known for their dirty bass, impeccable production, and incredible live shows.

MARK INSTINCT


Just to kick it up a notch Rukkuz is also bringing out MARK INSTINCT …Who is touring the US this year and bringing Solid Basslines to every event..The release "Sketchy Maxx" was in Digital Tunes and Trackitdown top 10 for 3 weeks running. It has since been remixed by the likes of Emu, Pawn, Richie August, RSK, Kellydean, Trillbass + more!

Having been signed to Aufect, Rottun and Betamorph Recordings for a load of forthcoming material, as well as an EP on Shift and an album on Trillbass, I'm sure you'll be seeing this name all over the place soon. To top this, Enough of the chat, time to get your bassbins pumpin.

Also to make sure Rukkuz is pushing the speakers in 103 harriet SYMBL aka Arsenic from Evol Intent is gonna be dropping BOMBS that night as well. Dubstep’s gnarly producer Symbl has the knowledge of sub-bass and homicidal basslines, Symbl has been given multiple releases on Trill Bass and other top shelf dubstep labels.

Then we add the local heavy low end of NTRLD (Rukkuz, Badman Press, BrapDem), COMPRESSION'S own DJ IVRY with MC Child and Enhale on the MIC?!?!?!?! The Rukkuz room is guaranteed to bring that bump to move your gurls rump.

AND IN THE GET-SEXY ROOM

COMPRESSION's own DJ HAVOC will join DJ MEASURES and friends for that perfect in-between butt-shaking funk. Hip-hop to bassline and house music to B-more, the Get-Sexy room remains the place to grab a drink, grab a spot on the floor and then grab some ASS. HEYO!!

OR RSVP FOR DISCOUNTED ENTRY:

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!!

The Last Night Of COMPRESSION?!?

Well, shit, gang: it looks like this Thursday may be the last ever weekly Compression. Eight years in the bay, but thanks to cantankerous club management and, frankly, a lack of heads willing to roll downtown to club TEMPLE, this is it. Maybe we'll do some one-offs, who knows. But if this were a TV sitcom, right now is when we would roll the montage of past clips, starting from the day the crew first met, through all the amazing music and drunken lunacy, up until our last night ever this week. And yes, the episode would end with us hugging and turning out the lights one final time, the camera lingering on the decks as we walked away . . .

BUT FUCK THE MELANCHOLY, Y'ALL, THIS WEEK ITS LUKEINO, THE HEIGHTS AND AXIOM MC

BADNB champs, REFLEX crew members and longtime friends of Compression LUKEINO and ED HEIGHTS have teamed up with Compression's own MC AX!OM to release THE BRIDGE Vol. 1 (www.liferecordingssf.com), a new DnB mixtape that will melt your face off! It's free on the night, so get rowdy and leave with a handful of quality DnB.

And trust: the last time LUKEINO and THE HEIGHTS were through, they blew Compression's minds with their spot-on mixing and truly excellent productions. Add AX!OM to the mix, and shit's sure to be extra hectic. Fuck! It's our last night, let's burn the place to the GROUND.

Support on the night from our old friend, DJ MUNK.
We ain't seen MUNK in a minute, but last time we did, he was rocking the smooth rollers like your mom rocks a mustache. Also part of the famed REFLEX crew, Munk is a fucking great guy and an even better DJ. Roll out early, start getting appropriately shitfaced, and groove to the butter funk of the one like MUNKLE.

As always, support on the night from COMPRESSION CREW, and second room by the DOWN LIKE THAT DJ's.
Doors open at 10pm, then at 3am close FOREVER.

HONEYBEAR LOVES YOU, but HONEYBEAR IS PISSED!

Summer of Madness: BLADDER BUSTERS

Hoooooly shit, gang, it's time again for COMPRESSION's famed BLADDER BUSTERS!. All the free beer you can drink till somebody pees!!

Here's how it works: it's $10 at the door, or $5 if you bring one can of food for our homeless charity drive. Once inside, the drinking begins promptly at 9PM. You can drink as much beer as you can stand until somebody tinkles.

Yes, we will have a monitor on the bathroom, and no, you can't leave and come back and keep drinking. But for as long as you're there, and as long as the water in the toliet stays clear, the beers keep flowing. One hour? Two hours? Only time--and the size of our bladders--will tell.

But what if I don't show up until 9:30? Better drink double fast, then, bro, cause other fools are 30 minutes ahead of you.

What if I can keep drinking, but some jerk is headed towards the pisser? That, my friend, is why the lord invented peer pressure and/or shame.

What if I wear some fancy penis harness that allows me to pee into a bag in my sock? Jesus, man, slow it down, it's just free beer.

Remember: there ain't no work Friday and nothing to do except sit around in the sun and get drunk again, so Thursday night it's going to be on. COMPRESSION STYLES, BABY!

And while we get hammered into obivion, enjoy the thumping sounds of COMPRESSION CREW, featuring IVRY, SHARP, MAL, AYE~N, COLONEL and our newest resident, the mighty mighty MC AX!OM

There's hardly a crew in the Bay Area where AX!OM isn't a resident, so it's high time he joined forces with COMPRESSION CREW, too. Known for his insane variety of rhyming styles and his musician's delivery, AX!OM always "keeps it lively" in the dance without ever overpowering the funk. From his energy to his flow, Ax!om rocks shit the fuck out, and is a fantastic new addition to the COMPRESSION family. Big ups, Ben, it's high fucking time!!

REMEMBER: DOORS OPEN A LITTLE BEFORE NINE.
$10, or $5 with a can of food.
DRINKING STARTS AT NINE AND CONTINUES UNTIL SOMEBODY PEE-PEES

GOOD GOD, HONEYBEAR LOVES YOU. LET'S DO THIS!!

Summer of Madness: July is RIDICULOUSLY ILL.

HOOOOOOOLY SHIT!! CHECK OUT JULY, MOTHERFUCKAAAAAAAS!!!

Summer of Madness: Bachelors of Science, Audio Angel, Sharp, Fife, Ax!om

This week is special down at Compression, as we welcome drum and bass superstars BACHELORS OF SCIENCE and celebrate the release of their new track, HORIZONS.

In case you've been on glue for the last year, the BACHELORS OF SCIENCE are Phil 'Rene' Collis and Chris Doe. Hailing from San Francisco, California, the Bachelors of Science have already become firm fixtures in the global dnb scene with their unique sound ranging from liquid flavors to dancefloor beats, with tracks smashing into top record boxes with the likes of Brian Gee, Bailey, LTJ Bukem, Grooverider, High Contrast, Doc Scott, Flight, Alix Perez, Redeyes, JuJu, and L Double to name but a few.

After several very successful releases in 2006 including "Jah No Dead" and "Wicked Ways", the Bachelors busted ass on their debut LP "Science Fiction," which was released on Horizons Music on January, 2008, and included the smash hits "Song For Lovers", "Strings Track", "People Together" and "The Ice Dance". The album was Number One nine weeks in a row on the DnB Arena Download chart, and continues to smash up the world with its lush, heartfelt production.

Not much could improve upon the Bachelors' current sound, except for maybe an extremely rare appearance by the Queen of US MC's, the mighty mighty AUDIO ANGEL.

There was once a time in San Francisco--first at Eklektik, and then at Compression--when you could enjoy the funktastic vocal stylings of the ANGEL every week. But those days are no more, so roll out this Thursday and remind yourself why you came to enjoy SFDNB so much in the first place. The lady rocks it!!

Especially when she's supported by MC Ax!om!

Ladies love him, girls adore him, even the ones he's never met before. He's MC Ax!om, Compression friend and badass MC. Put him together with Audio Angel and you got yourself a well-oiled MC machine, perfectly smooth and funky, the optimum counterpart to the sounds of the SCIENCE.

Also on the night, Groundscore legend, DJ FIFE!

FIFE is a man of many funky rollers, so expect the club to be buzzing before the Science this Thursday with his polished brand of diversity. We haven't seen FIFE in minute, so Compression is excited for him to be back in the house!

And representing COMPRESSION CREW, DJ SHARP!

When he ain't romancing the ladies, he's romancing the decks, dropping the smooth sort of COMPRESSION funk that's perfect for a night of Science! Get out early and catch the man in action as he rips another solid, SHARP set!

As always, support from COMPRESSION CREW, and LOVE from the HONEY BEAR.
Free before 10; $5 thereafter; drink specials all night!

Second room by TEMPLE UNDERGROUND, featuring electro, house, and other dirrrrty business.

HAVOC Returns. To Temple Underground!!

This week, the MAN who started Compression is BACK. Pimpin, macking: shit, y'all, it's HAVOC

Witness the fitness. DJ Havoc's back in the house, 2000 styles bat outta hell. I mean, seriously: this pimp was droppin bombs at age 12 or something. In party years, he's 72. And he's ready throw grenades in the white room this thursday, no doubt.

ADD IN SOME OF THIS RIGHT HURR:

HOT. Compression thursdays welcomes TEMPLE UNDERGROUND--dirty, nasty, sexy electro with Tone and the rest of the Temple Crew dropping freaky beats in the dark . This week, take a break from the DnB and party like a hipster in the Catacombs...

In the White Room, COMPRESSION gets freakalicious like always with TWO CENTS, aka the DJ's knowm as Aye~n and Mal...




What we got to say about these fools? Nothing! CAUSE YOU ALREADY KNOW!!

And leading the charge on the mic is Compression favorite MC Ax!om aka "The Hawk."



With Colonel still trying to raise bail, Ax!om will be holding the mic this week, and shit, is your mama STOKED. Versatile, rowdy, and smoother that a bottle of Crown Royale, Ax!om basically owns. Come experience San Francisco's finest as the man gets down with Compression crew.

Support from resident Temple hottie, Ms. DoZier




Get down and join in the funk. We get crackin at about 10:45!
