Compression Crew this Week in San Francisco

What a weekend. Hardcore Porn went off and was one of the best parties to hit Underground SF. Check out the pictures:

Yo, with the club still on hiatus, check out COMPRESSION CREW this week on Friday and Saturday at UNDERGROUND SF.


On Friday, 2 Cents (Aye~n and Mal) and the Colonel will be closing things out at BASSISM, Tommy Lexxus' monthly dedicated to dubsteb, drum and bass, and all things wobbly. It's a family affair, so stop by, get drunk for cheap, take advantage of the smoking chamber out back, and then GO NUTZ. It's been three weeks since the crew has played, so look for a shit ton of new tracks from Aye~n and Mal, and a pocketful of new rhymes from the Colonel. . .

Then, on Saturday, something new. The first party from Compression favorites, THE BEETS!, known appropriately as HARDCORE PORN.

This should be awesome. The first half of the night features pimps ELI GLAD (from Emily Betty's hot new night, YOUNGBLOODZ) and NEW YNGSTRZ (of Radboys fame), dropping that dirty dirty electro biznass. Then, once everyone is lubed up, the COMPRESSION CREW and THE BEETS! are joining forces for a 6x2 drum and bass fuckfest. You KNOW the BEEES! always pack the house with their YAHTZEE CREW, so look for a rowdy club filled with of stylish hotties and dubious freaks.

LOWER HATERS ALL WEEKEND BABY, WHAT WHAT!!

Summer of Madness: 4Real, the Beets!! and MC Zezo

This week we welcome two of the City's finest, 4Real and the Beets!!

When you were still a wee baby, sucking on yer mama's massive teat, 4Real was already mixing records. From Throb records in 1996 to Breakbeat Science in 1999, from motherfucking Eklektik to Groundscore, 4Real has been part of the San Francisco DnB scene, always rocking the casbah with his broad mix of moody stompers and straight-up rollers. We last saw him killing it on the Groundscore stage at the Haight Street fair, but as he told us then, that was just a warm-up to the MURDER he plans to release at Compression on Thursday. Sack up, City! They call him 4Real cause he's the TRUTH.

MEANWHILE, at the other end of the spectrum, it's the city's newest badboys, THE MOTHERFUCKING BEETS!!!

One word: YAHTZEE!! Old-school Compression heads and new-school SFDNB BADASSES, the Beets!! rock out with a Compression flair, mixing quick and dropping bombs. Last time they played, they rolled through with the massive Yahtzee Crew, looking cool and getting the dancefloor rowdy as FUCK. They got the records, they got the techniques, they got the chicks, and they got the fat ass joints!! Beets!! in the house, baby, it's gonna be SICK!

And on the mic, Colonel's brother from another mother, MC ZEZO

Repping New York, Los Angles, and Miami, MC Zezo is an old skool MC with nu school flavor. Maybe you saw him at the World of DnB in Miami, maybe you've caught him at I Love LA, maybe you saw him killing it with 4Real and Colonel at the Haight Street Fair--whatever the case, you know Zezo brings HEAT with a ragga-flavor. Colonel rates him BIG (and has been working on getting him and his cousin MC Dino to do a DnB remake of the Three Amigos' "Buttercup"), and Compression is always stoked to see him through. Zezo's relocated SF now, so expect to see him at Compression (and elsewhere) on the regular. With Zezo in town, LA's loss is our rowdy gain!

Support on the night from our own DJ MAL and the rest of the Compression crew.

Drink specials all night; FREE to get in the door; 21+.
SECOND ROOM BY DOWN LIKE THAT DJ'S, with M3, Jeno and the gang.

HONEY BEAR LOVES YOU, BABY.
TELLY SAVALAS LOVES YOU, TOO.

Telly says: I fucked your mama!

Summer of Madness: July is RIDICULOUSLY ILL.

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

Bring on THE BEETS!!

Compression is BACK this Thursday and in FULL EFFECT with the City's most exciting young turks, THE BEETS!

Booked all over this month (look for dates at Shelter, and at Bassism), these mofos continue to blow the fuck up. Rocking the freshest, most rumblinest funk, THE BEETS!! bring it hot and heavy for you and your mama. They also bring the infamous BEETS Crew with them, so get ready for a big, rowdy night on the Compression dancefloor.

Also playing on the night is Compression friend and favorite, CANADUB

The last time CANADUB played at Compression he dropped one of the top ten sets of the year, and this Thursday stands to be even doper. Known for his smooth, rolling style (both on the decks and off), Polar Bear CANADUB drops beats as rich as the chronic he puffs, and Compression is stoked to have him back. A great fucking DJ, moving force in SF DnB (and dubstep) and an all-around awesome guy, CANADUB is gwan rip it on Thursday night!

Our hosts for the evening: the legendary LADY BEETS

Support on the night from the COMPRESSION CREW and pictures by the one and only LA LOCA (pictured here with the mighty mighty ZACHATTACK!)


And don't forget about our new second room, the TEMPLE UNDERGROUND, featuring electro and other dirty beat bizness.

DOORS AT 10; $5 BEFORE 11; DRINK SPECIALS ALL NIGHT.
SEE YOU THERE!

Thursday the 28th: Lukeino, the Heights and the Beets!!

Check the rest of the pictures out HERE

Sweet jesus, Goldie was ROCKIN. The crowd partied like it was 1999, Mal and 4 Real killed the world, and Audio Angel came back to life to help the Colonel hype it up about as hyped as it could get. It was one for the books, no doubt! (Stay tuned for ridiculous photos from La Loca.)

This week, we keep the vibe rolling (all the way down hill to the WORLD OF DRUM AND BASS ON MARCH 21) with Compression friends LUKEINO & the HEIGHTS:

You know these two pimps. Representing REFLEX crew, Lukeino is one of San Francisco's old guard, a true original who will drop your girl's panties and make you scream like you're being murdered, all with the same song. At his side will be The Heights, one of BADNB's freshest and most promising DJs. He made his name at the Love Fest in 2006 (I can never turn that corner in front of the Civic Center without thinking of his set) and continues to rock dancefloors like a motherfucking hurricaine.

These fools are coming with a stack of their own fresh beats that, TRUST ME, will cold rock the party like MC Lyte.

But, like, if that wasn't enough to convince you to drag yer chunky butt up off the couch and come party with us, it's also time again for


THE BEETS! Compression heads and the city's best upcoming, upfront drum and bass DJ's.

Now, we could talk about the EPIC set they played last time, but let me tell you this: one night the Compression crew was out on the back porch, getting TOE UP, and all of a sudden we heard somebody drop "Rubbish" at a nearby houseparty. We look, and there's all these people going apeshit in somebody's kitchen, hands in the air apeshit to full-throttle DnB. The DJ's were dropping bomb after bomb, every two minutes another bomb. We're all chilling on the portch, laughing, going "shit, who the hell are those guys?" It was the fucking BEETS.

In a day when most people don't even know what DnB is, the BEETS rocked that house party like George Clinton on crack. And that, as they say, is COMPRESSION STYLES.

Free before 11; $5 after. And if you're asking yourself "Will I get as hyphy as I was at Goldie?" the answer is: it's up to YOU. We're that hyphy every week!
