Hacksaw Entertainment, Goldsweat & BRSLQ present a showcase of new music for 2010.

Jinder - playing live in SF for the first time, this 20.y.o Swedish singer/producer will blow you away. Dark, synth based disco with distinctive vocals have earned her comparisons to Lykke Li and Little Boots… but this is much Dancier music, and She has been signed to NYC’s Trouble & Bass label along with Drop The Lime & AC Slater!
Check it!

Mike 2600 (Burlesque)
Starting off as a college radio DJ in St. Louis, Mike learned his way around a pair of turntables and began building his record collection, spinning at parties on campus and around the city. In 1999, he released “Yars’ Revenge,” a 4-track mixtape of funk breaks, scratch routines, and Black Sabbath and Sesame Street samples.
Residing in Minneapolis, Mike can be found cutting up funk, disco, classic hip hop, oldies, Miami Bass, and ’80s rock and R&B at parties and clubs around town, opening up for acts such as Peanut Butter Wolf, Madlib, The Rub, Spankrock, Atmosphere, DJ Steinski, and Prince Paul.

Sticky K (Dubsided/Goldsweat)
Dave Taylor’s (Switch) taste-making record label, Dubsided, has been churning out big tunes for near a decade. Staying true from the first release, Dubsided Records has more Cy Young awards than Tim Lincecum and Jim Palmer put together.

A few artists have had career launching EPs including; Jesse Rose, Nadastrom, Solid Groove, Switch, Herve, Lee Mortimer, Trevor Loveys and of course the Bay Area’s very own Sticky K.

Sticky K has produced a grip of remixes for the likes of Crookers, Lady Gaga, B. Rich, La Roux, MSTRKRFT, Maluca, Larry Tee and Amanda Blank! Its no secret his sound is loud… and he’s only just begun. Sticky K has a host of new remixes all over the blogs, and a 2nd EP out soon on Dubsided.

Triple Crown - 9pm-3am (We Party Late!)

$5 after 11 / $10 after 12

An elusive new project from composer Alan Palomo. Neon Indian delivers equal parts synthetic nostalgia, Dreampop lullabies, and grinding guitar noise to create something eerier than the sum of its parts. Forged after a hazy winter gathering in Texas, this initial batch of tracks were the result of field recordings, record samples, a collection of bizarre synth sounds. Soliciting the visual acrobatics of Video artist Alicia Scardetta, this project is setting out to be a multimedia maelstrom.

Orbiting around the themes of drug induced heartbreak, weary afternoons, and lost chances, this music provides a lush soundtrack to the deadbeat exploits of teenage ennui. Neon Indians bedroom ballads have already forged the debut full-length Psychic Chasms, out now and rated 8.6 by Pitchfork with the Best New Music tag.

The first release, single Deadbeat Summer, already made it’s way around the blogs and received a 9/10 and Best New Music status from Pitchfork.

$10 tickets are available now via  Brown Paper Tickets.

Support from The Love X Nowhere
Nite Jewel has been added to the date! - awesome slowed-down disco stuff, don’t miss!

Doors 8pm.  Show 9pm  18+

Mixhell live will be headlining our Halloween party. Mixhell is the hard beat electro project of Iggor Cavalera, formerly the drummer in Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura. The music frequently sounds like a cross between Crookers and Iron Maiden, and for this performance on Halloween, Iggor Cavalera will be playing the drums live, while his wife, Lalma gets on the turntables and MPC controller.

Watch this 60-second youtube clip of Mixhell live with drums in Brazil and you will see why this will be the craziest, sweatiest and heaviest Halloween show in the Bay Area…

Nisus will be joining Mixhell on this occasion, bringing the bass to get this party going. And when I say bringing the bass, I mean literally hauling in extra subwoofers to the club, as well as spinning his face-melting set of original tunes and re-edits…

It should go without saying but costumes are mandatory. The scarier the better. We’ll be buying some drinks for people who’ve made a serious effort.

$12 presale tickets go on sale today at going.com/mixhell

21+ 10pm-2am… Poleng Lounge 1751 Fulton at Masonic.

In Flagranti perform live for a very special edition of Disco vs. Dubstep, showcasing their cosmic ‘cut and paste’ disco sound, described by XLR8R Magazine as “rare grooves from another planet”.

Starting their own label “Codek Records” twelve years ago, Sasha Crnobrnja and Alex Gloor  aimed to explore the cosmic background in every possible way by creating and putting together different elements of art/graphic design and styles of music in to a seamless flow. Their DIY attitude, Woman-Glamour-Trash-Chic design aesthetic, extensive catalogue of releases, and now legendary mix tapes, have gained them a strong following and street credibility in New York and abroad. If their already impressive live show weren’t enough, In Flagranti pushes the envelope further by adding video clips that accompanies each of their songs.

Support from Bender, with Kid Kameleon and Dials in the dubstep room.
18+ - 10:00pm-2:00am - $5 cover

Buraka’s live show combines laptops, percussion, live drummers, singers, rappers, and dancers into a performance unlike anything you’ve seen before.

Listen to their brand new track Restless over at The Fader magazine/ - one of our favorite new tracks this year!

Chromeo return to San Francisco!
Saturday October 10th, Dave One and P-Thugg will be performing a DJ set at Mezzanine on their world tour supporting their first release in 2 years - their DJ-KiCKS compilation. Their selection on DJ-KiCKS take in sounds you’d be hard pressed to hear almost anywhere else: 80s disco and R&B, bursting with robo-funk basslines and plastic handclaps, swollen with strings, keyboards and vocals. And it includes an original cover which you can download from the website.

Chromeo’s cover of the Eagles - I Can’t Tell You Why is available for download at the Chromeo/DJ-KiCKS website www.chromeo-djkicks.com.
Expect to hear all this, plus classic Chromeo tracks & remixes.

Berkeley born and raised hip-hop quartet The Pack, comprised of Young L, Stunnaman, Uno and Lil B, are performing for a very special installment of Upgrade, supporting their highly anticipated sophomore album set to release later this year.

The East Bay rappers, most famously known for their sneaker praising cult classic single “Vans” (No. 5 on Rolling Stone’s Best Songs of 2006), were signed to Too Short’s Jive Record’s imprint label before anyone in the group had turned 18.  They went on to release their first EP, Skateboards 2 Scrapers, in ’07, and followed up with debut album Based Boys.

Upgrade residents Shane King and Swayzee support.
Hosted by Hottub.

Limited presale tickets available here.

Holy Fuck are a Toronto-based experimental rock quartet who play modern electronic music, except without laptops, synths or samplers. The only conventional instruments they use are a drum kit and a bass guitar, with the rest of the sounds created by toy keyboards, effects pedals and even a 35-mm film synchronizer. The resulting sound is fast-paced aggressive, fun and highly danceable, played with such energy you will leave the show in no doubt of how this band got their name.

Watch Holy Fuck play the track “Royal Gregory” at Nuemo’s in Seattle.

Support acts are City Lights and Ghosts on Tape

Tickets are $15 available from Ticketweb or in person with no fees at the Independent Box Office (628 Divisadero at Hayes).
Doors 8.30pm, show starts at 9pm.
