SOUNDPIECES

FRIDAY 11/25 at 103 HARRIET - NADASTROM!!

Soundpieces, Camp Question Mark, and Irie Cartel are presenting the ultimate family affair for Thanksgiving weekend! Please join us to help DJ Bogl & Ben Taylor recover from losing their entire home and music sanctuary to the fire that destroyed the building of 493 Haight on September 27, 2011.
PRESALES: http://112511-103harriet.eventbrite.com/
FACEBOOK EVENT: http://www.facebook.com/events/222479827818642

Performances Include:
NADASTROM - Washington DC - Dubsided

As the prime architects of Moombahton – a sound Nada invented on the fly at a basement party by slowing Dutch house music down to the tempo of reggaeton – Dave Nada is known to stage dive while his DJ partner Matt Nordstrom squeezes the duo’s most riotous beats through the speakers. The duo have been praised in the pages of Spin and Rolling Stone, pumped on the airwaves of BBC Radio 1, NPR, and revered at nightclubs and festivals across the planet.... Nadastrom aren’t just pushing 21st century dance music toward the edge – they’re jumping off it. Trust us, you do not want to miss this act!!

TRUTH - New Zealand
DEEP MEDi / AQUATIC LAB / DISFIGURED DUBZ / BOKA / ARGON
Dubstep is alive and well, thanks to legit crafters like Truth. We’re personally sweating the arrival of this New Zealand import. He’s been crafting his sound like a science. Massive high-fives to Deep MEDi for nurturing this beast! Take a listen to any track on the long discography accumulated. The slow, creeping, deep bass he creates makes us lust for more, and you?

AN-TEN-NAE - SECRET SET!
An*Ten*Nae is one of San Francisco’s most sought after DJs and live performers. He has taken the art of live remixing to new heights with his own customized setup, that bends genres in ways seldom heard. This sound is called Acid Crunk, and there are no rules, no restraints in its quest for pure dance floor devistation. 2010 also sees the birth of An*Ten*Nae “The Live Experience, featuring an audio visual barrage including live drums and synths combined with dramatic theatrical and visual stimulation. Welcome to the future, and no it wont be televised

STYLUST BEATS - Vancouver - SoundVibe, True Movement Records
Starting off as a multi genre DJ in 98′ Stylust Beats quickly got into the hiphop production game contributing to the local scene as well as being lucky enough to work with MC’s all over the world such as The Game, Freeway, South Central Cartel, and many more.
After starting SoundVibe Records with Emotionz in 2009 (releasing his solo album “Kush”), Stylust Beats has focused back on DJing and producing but now in the dubstep/bass music arenas. Since then Stylust Beats has continued to produce and has a lot of upcoming releases and collaborations to come.

+++++++++ZOMBY ++++++++++++++++
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDLXRtbeLg0

Zomby- the mysterious and prolific UK producer, is coming to town. He started releasing music in 2007 and since then he has become a notorious figure in the electronic music scene- From bailing out on high profile gigs, to penning some of the most classic and influential dubstep/tropical/futurebass songs of late to even being featured in Lady Gaga’s live show, this mysterious and shadowy producer knows only one thing- his signature and incredible aesthic. His ability to skillfully negotiate between genres is unparalleled by any producer. He has released music on the likes of Hyperdub, Werk Discs, Warp and countless others. In 2008 he released a full length album of classic rave inspired jams of the early 1990’s, entitled Where Were U In 92?. As a favorite of Animal Collective, he’s remixed and collaborated with Panda Bear. Couple this with the numerous and incredible 12”s, EPs and remixes that have been aired over the past five years and it’s clear just why he’s built quite a heady reputation for himself. Having signed a worldwide deal with 4AD, the wait for new material is almost over. Dedication, a wholly different record to its predecessor, marks Zomby's return from his hiatus with typical style; a dark and absorbing listen that engulfs the listener, running between sparse electronics, techno hooks and minimal piano riffs.

Machinedrum has produced and composed several albums under various aliases since his first independent release in 1999. No stranger to San Francisco, he returns to celebrate his highly praised Rooms album, an offering from Planet Mu. His debut Now You Know, was released in 2001 on the influential Miami-based Merck Records under the name Syndrone and gained worldwide attention and praise from musicians, fans and critics in the IDM scene. It was heralded as the "standard to which the next wave of imitators aspires" by Pitchfork.com His side project with Brooklyn’s Praveen Sharma, Sepalcure, has seen great sucess- countless remixes, and 2 EPS- even a feature song curated by Mary Anne Hobbes for her 2010 film Black Swan.

This dude needs a bio. Or maybe he doesn't, regardless... I have to write something. His songs are great. He is from the Bay Area. I like his many different haircut and beard styles he wears from time to time. He makes synthesizer based sex music, ranging in all tempos, but mostly dubstep freeze-dried mango chunks, mixed with some cocoflakes, nahmean? A man of RC Cola, Cooler Ranch Doritos, girly RNB jams and netflix, this man has rocked more shows than you have, playing not other people's music, but his very own. It proves that hard work pays off, asshole.. so leave your massive synth presets at home. NastyNasty is coming back to San Francisco to wet your girlfriend's panties.

+++++++++Distal+++++++++++++++
http://www.factmag.com/2011/09/02/fact-mix-279-distal/
http://soundcloud.com/distal

Atlanta based producer, and part-owner of EMBASSY RECORDINGS Distal has found himself rapidly building an internationally familiar brand in 2011. Combining time travel with dance music Distal breaks down the more ambiguous sounds from the past and fuses them with thoughts and equations of the future. Because of this non-traditional approach to Dubstep, Funky and Techno, Distal has been forced to take a few risks, but along the way has created a very specific and friendly sound for himself.

(In the unlikely event of a no-show by Zomby, reimbursals will be given)

Gramatik at Soundpieces JUNE 17

CLICK HERE FOR FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE

Fresh off performing sold out tours with both the Glitch Mob and Pretty Lights and handpicked by them, Slovenia's Gramatik has established himself as more than just one to watch, but one to stay and amaze even further. His live performances display his wide range of music, incorporating glitch, hip-hop, dubstep, into his own signature sound that can best be described as music without borders. His headlining world tour makes a stop at Mighty in San Francisco for a very special show presented by Soundpieces and Mighty. The all star supporting cast includes live performances from LOW LIMIT of LAZER SWORD, local heavyweight Siren, Bogl, and DJ Whores.

LOW LIMIT (LAZER SWORD)
Once known around our city's clubs as LL Cool DJ, Rutledge now produces and DJs under the name Low Limit. He may be better known at this point, though, as one-half of the electronic glitch-hop juggernaut Lazer Sword, which pairs him with production partner Antaeus Roy (a.k.a. Lando Kal). Lazer Sword has helped put San Francisco's leftfield beat scene on the map with its chopped and screwed, synth-heavy dance tracks.

SIREN (Muti Music)
Live drums, heavy synths, groove and energy are the foundation that Brandon Hale AKA Siren builds on. Hailing from Oregon and now settled in San Francisco, Siren is another new west coast find that has been making his distinctive mark on midtempo breakbeats and dubstep. With a background of metal influences and playing piano, saxaphone, drums in punk, ska and metal bands, Siren brings both melody and unforgiving edge to his productions.

Time	Friday, June 17 at 9:00pm - June 18 at 2:00am

Location	Mighty 119 Utah St. San Francisco, CA

Read article on Flavorpill here:
http://asset3.flavorpill.com/sanfrancisco/events/2010/9/25/mary-ann-hobbs-w-mount-kimbie-dntel-asura-and-djg

"British DJ Mary Anne Hobbs' philosophy is "charge at your dreams and never look back." Her rock 'n roll résumé includes living on a bus and managing the hard-rock band Heretic; buying a one-way ticket to LA where she interviewed the likes of David Lee Roth and rode around Hollywood in a bikini on her motorcycle; and infiltrating London sex clubs and the world of celebrity drug dealers to write exposés for Loaded magazine. Hobbs went on to rule the airwaves at BBC Radio 1 where she introduced the world to dubstep via her Experimental show. But 14 years was enough, and she did her final broadcast two weeks ago. Now she's taking her DJ talents on the road. Tonight at Public Works, catch her alongside Dntel (one-half of the Postal Service), and find out why she's called the First Lady of Bass. Drop the beat!" - Andrew Dudley

About Starkey:
PJ Geissinger aka Starkey is blessed with musical arrangement skill's that would leave most composers green faced with envy. This combined with his high production ethic makes him a formidable force not only in the underground but also as a super producer of the future. Starkey is yet another example of what the streets of Philadelphia can create, his sound hits hard and is littered with bass and colourful audio frequencies. If you like grime, dubstep, hip hop and all things "street bass" then Starkey's hard edged spaced out crunk is the sound for you.

Starkey is also co-owner of the Seclusiasis and Slit Jockey Record labels, a member of the Trouble & Bass Crew and works hardon releasing the freshest output from around the globe, this combined with his fortnightly radio show on Sub FM has positioned him as one of the tastemakers to emerge out of the bass heavy underground.

MACHINEDRUM AT MIGHTY THURS NOV12

Get ready to bow your heads to the roughest styles of electronic music at the most classic venue in San Francisco!!! PLUS a Party Tour Bus! PLUS a fatty Live Art Production!

MACHINEDRUM [NYC] - hip hop accentuated by mutant drum patterns, dense IDM style melodies, and MCs freed in the digital world to slip-up and double-back on their rhymes. Travis Stewart's first release as Machinedrum was entitled Now You Know. He was instantly in competition with Prefuse 73 as the new era of electronic hip hop, initially started by the likes of Gescom & Push Button Objects.

Travis helped launch Merck Records and is also the owner of New York-based Normrex Records. He has also sold rights to some of his music to Adult Swim for tracks played during some of their program interludes.

His debut album was released under one of his aliases, Syndrone. The style of which could best be described as tracking Autechre stylized glitch but adding a bit of venous melody. Syndrone's debut, Triskaideka started off small but within a matter of years sold out of 1,000 copies and was soon licensed by a respected European IDM label called Djak-Up-Bitch.

Machinedrum employs the use of a Tracker in the early stages of his production process. Specifically, he uses Schism Tracker. Further, Stewart uses Ableton Live for sequencing. Both programs are run on the Mac OS X platform.

+

MOZAIC - DJ/vocalist/producer .... On any given weekend, if he's not behind the decks (he played over 100 gigs during 2008), you'll likely find him on the dancefloor, which is what makes the 10-year veteran a dancer's DJ. Mozaic has built a reputation on solid mixing and fearless genre-hopping: tech-house, techno, broken beat, 2-step, midtempo and dub all find their way into his arsenal- sometimes within a single set. His collaboration with EPROM, HOOKERZ & BLOW, lays waste to dance floors up and down the West Coast with their live dj/laptop sets, and had recent remixes rinsed by everyone from Basement Jaxx to Jesse Rose to Annie Mac.

+

SLEEPYHEAD - delivers music soaking with merciless power making heads swing and asses shake. His party crushing duo with Mimosa, SEXYTIME, presents glitchy and crunky dubs with strong dubstep sub-bass and smooth synth melodies on top. Also collabed with Knowa KnowOne with a self-titled album called KnowSleep.

+

NASTYNASTY - One of the Bay's up-and-coming masters of bass, and on "No Names," he kicks it down with dark bass rumblings, synth blips, and some truly impressive polyrhythmic intensity. Next month sees a new single on Frite Nite, featuring remixes from wonky left field bass producer Slugabed, among others.

+

AUDIOVOID - aka LAYERZ - thick, edgy, and heavily psychedelic; focusing mostly on (but certainly not limited to) breaks and midtempo/glitch-hop oriented sounds. While the "LayerZ" sound is focused heavily on the vibe of dubstep inspired material. However, as the name suggests, it is usually anything but sparse, generally cramming several twisted layers of lush melody, intricate sound design, and unexpected change-ups.

+

BOGLvsDIALS - These Hotpocket DJs will hunt down the finest tracks the internet has to offer and even strong arm you via gchat if given the opportunity. Every set they throw down is almost an educational experience of all that is new, rare, hard, and absolutely filthy.

If you haven't downloaded their infamous mix heard round the globe, do it now and stop missing out on what will have your player on repeat: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4XF6HFK0

+

SHR3D - One hell of an Electro DJ hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada. He plays shows constantly all over Vegas at all the hot and exclusive parties. He'll turn bars into jumping skin factories, "I play what makes girls dance." We've seen it in person, it's sweaty! sexy! loud! nonstop! and the sun is probably about to rise.

MIHKAL - Perfecting the art of audio alchemy, MiHKAL approaches his musical creative process as a chemist synthisizing a newfound molecule. Blending an omnitude of genres and tempos into a seamless bass induced euphoria, bringing the light and dark elements into harmony with melodic rhythms intertwined with heavy basslines. Whether serving the crowd a plate of face slapping bass with a side of whomp sauce or raising the vibe with higher frequency melodic soundscapes, he puts intention into his perfomance as a shaman would guiding his ceremony.

Always implementing different tempos and styles of downtempo, hip-hop, dubstep, and drum and bass, he keeps the dancefloor hoppin with a smooth, sexy, and very engaging experience.

ANTIBIOTIK - From the UK to the Bay.. You've heard of diamond in the rough, well this one's a rough among the diamonds. Check out his mix No Dominion. It fuses a plethora of musical influences and tactics into a deceptively smooth listen that seems to be strung from a loom of rockoperatic structure woven with down tempo whomping waves of nostalgia and threads of cleverly plucked samples. Perfectly captures the rainy cozy vibe, but like everything else by this artist, brings a unique and gritty edge to what could otherwise be a drowsy venture into a gray October afternoon.
