Mal's About to Fucking BRING IT

You know this guy. Friend to Grooverider and Goldie, mastermind of the TEMPLE audiovisual experience, and long-time Compression pimp, MAL is one of America's very best DJ's with more excitement in his pinky than a fucking suped-up 1978 Pontiac GTO.

Tonight, Mal's gonna show you how it's done. So roll out, you sedentary beeotch, and get to dancing like a gorilla on crack. You know how we do.

Compression Crew, Come Out and Play!!

All right, for all you boppers out there in the big city, you street people with an ear for the action, I've been asked to relay a request from the Gramercy Riffs. It's a special for the Compression Crew. That's that real live bunch from Temple. And I do mean the Compression Crew. Here's a hit with them in mind. Be looking good, Compression, all the way back to Temple. You hear me, babies? Good. Real good. Adios.

It's been two weeks of battling our way through other crews: the Metalheadz, the Reflexors, even the fucking Beets!
But now we've made it home and the COMPRESSION CREW is charged to get back to business. DIRTY BUSINESS. So COME OUT AND PLAY this Thursday with:

2 CENTS
SHARP
& THE COLONEL

Free before 11pm; $5 after.
Check your weapons and colors at the door!

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.

GOLDIE

Drum and Bass' original rockstar GOLDIE returns to COMPRESSION for another spectacular night of true school beats. He's probably a big part of the reason you're into drum and bass, so I don't need to tell you. This will be special, this will be big, this will be GOLDIE at COMPRESSION.

Redline Valentines Line-UP

We got a call from Redline headquarters today, and they let us know the hot-shit line-up for Valentines Night:



Word is the Reline crew is coming with some drum and bass, some dubstep, some hotness and HELLA attitude. Compression will be its usual insanity, but with a lady's touch. (Note: Rob Cannon and Roomate are not actually women, but they do kick serious ass on the decks.)

February 7: GET DRUNK AND DANCE NIGHT

You can find the rest of the pictures HERE


In case you ain't heard, Compression got far more out of hand last week than expected. The ladies rocked the dance in force, and Compression crew ripped it like it was for TV. Asses were grabbed.

But now, running downhill toward the drum and bass armageddon that's sure to be the February 21st GOLDIE show, it's time to honor tradition and throw our annual GET DRUNK AND DANCE PARTY.


Time to get more stupid than usual and SHAKE IT. We got a THREE DOLLAR BEER special and a FIVE DOLLAR drink special and it's FREE at the door. So do the math: if you tip a dollar a drink (and you'd better), you can drink FIVE beers for 20 bucks. Then, you can take your shirt off and friggen GET DOWN. That's how we do it, and to make sure it's cracking, we're bringing out the mighty

January 31: The Warm-Up Ends

As you know, January is traditionally a peaceful time down at Compression, a time to reflect on the past year and come together as a crew. Days of calm contemplation, nights of petting wild unicorns and visiting crystal castles. Ahhhhhhh.

This Thursday is the last of these calm moments, a final chance to relax before the coming storm (see below, oh jesus). So this Thursday, Compression invites you to come out, sip some fine cocktails, and raise a hand or two in the air in the name of drum and bass. Granted, things might get COMPLETELY out of hand such that we decide to ride the unicorns over to the crystal castle, destroy the castle, and then sniff the remaining piles of crystal dust, but then we'll just deal with that when it happens.

Compression. Where unicorns roam free and perfectly normal people freak the fuck out and act like idiots from another dimension. See you there.

REDLINE TAKEOVER

This Valentines Day, take your lovely out to a fine dinner, enjoy a nice glass of Merlot, nibble some decadent chocolates for dessert, then, the way home, ask the driver of your horse-drawn carriage to take a little detour, downtown, to TEMPLE.

On this very special evening, the lovely ladies of REDLINE will be taking over Compression in the name of St. Valentine to bring you a quality night of thundering, sexual bass. Pulsating, sensual, rumbling bass like only REDLINE can drop.

Single gentlemen, please do not mistake these world class DJ's for mere objects of dirty bass beauty. Like the Pink Ladies to Compression's Fonz, they are some seriously tough chicks that will plant their boot in your ass and their bass in you face. They, like Compression, want you to get laid on Valentine's night, but at the very least will guarantee you get ROCKED.

So pre-order your roses. Have your suit cleaned. And start drinking Gatorade NOW. With REDLINE in the house, things are going to get SWEATY.

REDLINE DJ's on the night include:
KOZEE
ULTRAVIOLET
ROB CANNON
ROOMATE

And check out all the night's photos taken by LA LOCA
We're not even sure of who's DJing on the night, but you can bet yer fucking ASS it will be HOT, with AYE~N, MAL, IVRY, and SHARP burning down the walls, COLONEL conjuring up sexy satan through the power of his WORD, LA LOCA, NAYER, REEBS and the rest of the COMPRESSION ladies going totally apeshit, DIRTYBOI reppin his ass off on the dancefloor, THE BEETS acting like fucking drunken maniacs, KODA flowin' freestyle, and whatever random people that happen in suddenly realizing that DRUM AND BASS is the greatest party music in the world and losing their fucking minds on the like they're old school junglists or some shit.
COMPRESSION FUCKING OWNS IT SON!!
