AND INTRODUCING THE LIVE MUSIC OF
JIMMIE REIGN

ITS ALL GOES DOWN
FRIDAY APRIL 16TH
111 MINNA, DWNTWN SF

JIMMIE REIGN
Bay native Jimmie Reign has quickly gained a fan base by opening shows for well known artists (Goapele, Jagged Edge, Latoya London, Eric Roberson), her reputation became that of a young woman who was all about business on stage. Now with a more mature sound and way of thinking, Jimmie wants to expand from the Bay Area to beyond. Tirelessly working at her craft and balancing motherhood at the same time would make some want to give up- Jimmie says it only makes her stronger. An exciting live show, a powerhouse voice, and striking looks have earned Jimmie the right to be called a complete package.

SAKE 1
Born and raised in the culture of hip-hop, DJ SAKE-1 has been looking for the perfect beat since 1989. A founding member of California’s (((Local 1200))) Sound System, DJ SAKE-1 has utilized a combination of advanced science and Bay Area hustle to genetically alter the hip-hop idiom into a 360 degree circle of soul. You can find DJ SAKE-1 kickin’ up dust and making 5,000-person venues feel like neighborhood house parties from San Francisco to New York City to Atlanta to London and beyond….
DJ SAKE-1 has humbly Served the People as resident DJ at legendary parties such as: Church; Fabric; Soulville; Candy House; Luscious; Oakland Reggae; FeelGood; Unify! and many, many more. He presently resides at the groundbreaking Pacific Standard Time weekly that has proven to be one of the Bay’s most music-forward events.

PROOF
Quiet as kept, San Francisco’s PROOF is one of the West Coast’s elite, throwing game-changing events with his Massive Selector brethren and spinning all over the place with the hottest selections. Heavily influenced by classic funk, deep soul, hip-hop, and house, PROOF’s sound definitely caters to the dancefloor. His mix CD’s, known for their global flavor and crossing genres seamlessly, have created quite a buzz with music lovers.

SHRED ONE
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Sheila Red aka Shred One was constantly surrounded and heavily influenced by music at a very young age as she tagged along with her vinyl collecting brothers and cousins. She moved to Brooklyn, NY in ‘98 where she began collecting her own records and fell in love with the art of deejaying, as well as learning the music industry game working at Rawkus Records and Blacksmith Management. She began spinning out when she moved back to Los Angeles in 2004 and rocked parties like the infamous Root Down and Soul Sessions. Now residing in SF, she has since played alongside cutting edge artists such as Daz-i-Kue, 45 King, Talib Kweli, Exile, DJ Spinna and more. You can find her spinning soul, hip hop, funk, disco, boogie, house, and more

HAYLOW
The L.A. native that has diligently contributed to the one and only Distortion 2 Static as both a DJ and journalist. A true historian of quality hip hop that has been blessing the scene with his diverse selection of videos during his live video sets.

Train of Thought + Hi-Teknology

These two albums we used to scratch & freestyle to. (Circa 2000).  We juggled on an old ISP mixer.  During this stage, people still used to session in backyards of house parties with their red plastic cups filled with jungle juice.  Some talented MC encounters, from every region. These memories live and stay golden.

Stars: Five Ghosts

Written by XARIUSOUND. Filed under Audio. Tagged , , , . No comments.


We can add another name to the list of big indie bands releasing new albums this spring: Stars. The arch, dramatic Canadian indie poppers will release The Five Ghosts, their fifth studio album, on June 22.

This will be the first Stars album since 2007′s In Our Bedroom After the War, and it’ll also be the first release on the band’s own new label Soft Revolution, which will be licensed outside Canada via Vagrant.

All five members of the band contributed songwriting to the album, and Broken Social Scene/Apostle of Hustle member Andrew Whiteman makes a guest appearance. The first single, “Fixed”, features lead vocals from Stars co-leader AmyMillan. In a statement, Millan says, “We have never written an album with this much cohesion and unity. It is the first time we’ve had the luxury of being together in a huge room writing songs off the floor.”

Before the album drops, the band will tour clubs playing The Five Ghosts in its entirety, as well as fan-chosen old jams “Take Me to the Riot”, “Your Ex-Lover Is Dead”, and “Ageless Beauty”. They haven’t announced any of their dates yet, so keep an eye out.

Noteput

The Noteput interactive music table was concocted by a pair of German design students back in October of last year, but watching it in action is still a mesmerizing experience. Employing a simple camera beneath the surface, the table can tell what notes you’re placing upon it and play them back — individually when you position them or as a group once you hit the big play button. A noteable feature for is the ability to loop playback and replace notes on the fly.
