So I’m here. i’ve been here for about 2-3 weeks now. Finally settled down, got my stuff moved in, great place at the top of a hill, my dj booth and equipment is fully set up.
What clubs should I try hitting up? Any recommendations? I’m into hearing just about anything other then dubstep. So house, prog, tech, whatever. I figure I should hit up the massive ones at some point like Ruby skye and supperclub. But other then that should I be looking into some other places, or other interesting music in different places?
First Friday of every month a collective called Brass Tax throws a freaking FUN party. Also, check out the Monarch, 222 Hyde & Public Works for some great nights.
check out guestlistnation for ruby skye. they have some pretty good events that go for free with GL, but $30-60 for bigger name DJs which aren’t always worth it. also for anywhere with a GL in SF, be prepared to go early or be prepared to wait for an hour
FYI Ruby Skye tends be a “clubby” club where the spots I mentioned earlier are smaller, more “underground” type spots. Another “Clubby” club spot is 1015 Folsom. Bigger place, three rooms, big name headliners. Are you looking for places to play or listen?
Also, there’s a collective called Sunset that do an outdoor monthly and sometimes boat parties on the bay. They also do a campout coming up in the middle of July that’s tons of fun.
Sorry for the multiple posts. Also check out Temple, it’s a nice space with multiple rooms and varies with big name headliners and more local talent. My man Jaswho is the sound guy there. They also have production studios for recording and mixing.
Ruby Skye and Vessel for headlining dj’s. Also check the calendars for the Mezzanine SF, Regency Ballroom SF, and the Fox Theater in Oakland. Those venues have some sick pretty sick shows every now and then. Also check out Temple, Roe, and the Grand. Welcome to the Bay!
If you are looking for something more low-key and divey, check out Showdown Urban DJ Saloon on 6th and Market. It’s a sort of a hipster bar. I’m friends with the owner, Johnny, and I spin during happy hour from 6-10 on Tuesdays, mostly hip hop. They play all kinds of music there. Come on down for a free drink, dude!
Also don’t forget DNA Lounge, Cafe Du Nord, Mezzanine (drinks are outrageous but so are the girls. . .), Rickshaw Stop, Mighty (great sound, high-profile DJs such as Farina, Shortkut, J Rocc, Bonobo, Triple Threat. . .). A good loungey type place is John Collins. What part of SF do you live in?
Didnt see this thread, Im heading for S.F. this thursday and my sister and I wanna go out friday night, were staying on 4th and market(marriott)…would like to check one of these clubs out, but wanna hear house, tech, etc…
I may have to hit up that Justin Martin party. I have been dying to find out when Vonstroke, Martin & Co. put on a dirtybird party in the park so this may be the next best thing. I’m telling you, Vessel is a great spot for good house. Robert Dietz is playing on 7/5 at BASE. If I didn’t have a weekly Friday morning firm meeting at 8am I would be there way more often…
Yeah man I’m spinning along with my roommate tonight. . .may not be a whole lot of people tonight because of the holiday but hey, I’m gonna get my drink on anyhow since I don’t work tomorrow. Just come to the DJ booth in the back and we’ll down a few!
Never been to a dirty bird party. . .sounds like fun. What is it like?
