Next Wake The Town is April 4th!

Photobucket

Come on down for the best monthly dance club in San Francisco: Wake the Town! Hot shots of Rocksteady & Reggae! It's the place to be! This party happens every first Saturday of the month with some of SF's top "Jamaican sounds" DJ's. Mr. Ryha, Bryan Martin & Shawn (from the old Upsetter @ Mad Dog in the Fog) throw down some heavy tunes. This months special guest is Crystal! Be there or be square!

p.s. Flyer is another bit of my handiwork. If you like what you see, give me a shout...I'd be happy to hook you up with a flyer too!

Guest DJ spot with Adam @ FIRE CORNER!

Photobucket

Last Saturday night I, along with Mini & Bryan were the guest DJ's for Fire Corner, a bi-monthly Rocksteady/Early Reggae Revive party hosted by Adam (aka Revival Sound System) at Koko Cocktails! It was a bit of a slow night...I think the rainshowers kept people home, but in spite of that, we all had a great time and the music was as tasty as ever! I met a couple of interesting folks, had some good conversations and a few enjoyable drinks! A father & son duo who are German tourists happened into the bar and kept all of us pretty entertained. They kept telling me the party is only starting at 2am in Germany! Ah well. I got a free beer and a funny story outta chatting with 'em!

Fire Corner happens every first and third Saturday nights from 9:30pm-2am. Adam has a variety of guests share the turntables with him, many who have other similar or related nights around town. Koko's is a great place and Fire Corner offers great tunes to get your feet moving! (all details on flyer)
