COMPRESSION ft. Optical, 2cents, Sam XL, Whiz Kids & More!

2009-11-20T15:21:00.000-08:00

COMPRESSION is back with three rooms of big bad bass and dirty bizness. If you don't know, baby, time to get to know.

Upstairs, in the COMPRESSION ROOM, the Yay's most notorious drum n' bass crew will be thundering out the funk with jungle legend DJ OPTICAL -- also known as one-half of ED RUSH & OPTICAL (Wormhole). And no, this ain't some kinda weird deep drum and bass bullshit. This is in-your-face dancefloor funk -- dnb how you want it to be, how you remember it when it was the hands-in-the-air, raucous party SHIT. COMPRESSION jump-up kings 2 CENTS will have the place bouncing alongside THE COLONEL MC (like they do every year at the Love Parade), dubwise don LUKEINO will be pure vibing with the mighty MC AX!OM, and big groove wizards SHARP and CANADUB will have the skankers skanking (and the smokers smoking) with help from the ZEZO 1. COMPRESSION IS BACK, mama, and the attic is going to be ROCKING.

Two floors down, deep in the basement, get ready for the nasty dubstep groove of the RUKKUZ ROOM and Los Angeles dubstep king SAM XL (Pure Filth). Notwithstanding the fact the basement soundsystem is brand new and programmed to kill, RUKKUZ is bringing reinforced bass, so for the love of christ, remember your earplugs and get ready to ROAST IT. Bay area overlords ROOMATE, BLACKHEART and ATOS 1 are coming to conquer, and with both MC DUH and MC CHILD on the mic, you know that the basement is going to get SICK. as FUCK. on a STICK.

And if the bass gets too dark... meet me in the middle, baby, at the GET SEXY ROOM where local heavyweights, THE WHIZ KIDS: BLING CROSBY and 24K are set to give you all a lesson in how to SHINE! Top it all off with the booty shakin', neck breakin' sounds of DJ MEASURES, SF's latest import fresh outta NYC, and you have yourself one hell of a dance floor. We're calling this the GET SEXY ROOM cause that's the plan. We gonna have a drink, say what's up then get the fuck on down to the illest in House, Electro, Fidget, Minimal, Breaks and Beyond. You can polish up those dancing shoes if you want, but one thing is guaranteed... they're gonna get DIRRRRTY!

$10 advance tickets available at compressionsf.blogspot.com or at 103 Harriet (1015.com); 21+ to get in; 10pm until 3am or later!

Boombox ft. Dj Muggs(Soul Assassins, Cypress Hill)

2009-07-27T12:16:00.000-07:00

Still fresh in my mind when I was just a young buck I remember buying my first cassette tapes on my own. Eric B. and Rakim's "Paid in Full" and Cypress Hill self titled album. I remember my Mom trying to throw the tape out of the car on the way home after the first track "Pigs" came on. Ahhhhh to be 10 again. Thankfully I was faster in the hands then she and I was able to bump that tape for many years to come; in fact until the writing on the tape disappeared. Dj Muggs was one of my heroes on the cut(along with MixMasterMike) and production that made me stay in my garage for hours practicing like a mad man. This sat. it all comes full circle as we have one of my favorites of all time come thru and bless Boombox. Hummin coming at cha!!!!

Keeping up a quality party for one year is no joke. Congrats Fam! Rhythm Section is down with us!

SATURDAY JUNE 13TH - DOWNTOWN LA

THE RHYTHM SECTION
presents:

Our OFFICIAL 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY

Featuring VERY special guest:

DJ Spinna

Arguably the world's best DJ, Spinna is one of the most in-demand DJs in 3 different genres of music: house (as one of the top producers on the scene, remixing for Atlantic Records, Colombia Records, as well as independent house labels); Hip-Hop (his smash hit "Tribute to Dilla" single with Phonte of Little Brother; member of the Jigmastas; busy as a hip-hop producer his name is on dozens of releases dating back to 1995); and Soul (his "Wonder of Stevie" comp with Bobbito turned a new generation on to the music of Stevie Wonder); his LPs on the BBE label have showcased his amazing soul production touch -- such as his classic remix of Donnie's "Cloud 9" -- his "Wonder-full" party attracted Stevie himself (!!), and he is also the man who created "Soul Slam" -- the Prince vs. Michael Jackson party to end all Prince vs. Michael Jackson parties!). No other DJ (except for perhaps Jazzy Jeff and Kenny Dope) can claim this "Triple Crown" rep amongst the world's DJs -- which is why many consider Spinna to be #1.
