This year’s after party is at: Temple Nightclub (540 Howard Street, San Francisco), and at 111 Minna Gallery, AND at Harlot. Go to any location and get a Magic Bracelet that will get you into all of the others. All for only $10 (or $2 off with the Magic Sticker).

The LoveTech peeps challenged me to bring my A-game to this one, so I’ll be delivering a a crafty selection of my latest productions, and serving it to you on a silver platter. And by that i mean “in full live-PA trim.” Seven channels of all-original material, mixed live, straight from my heart to yours…

If you catch one Swami set this year, this should be the one. Not only do you get an earful of whatever i got going, you get to experience Pance Party, Ample Mammal and Rich DDT (and celebrate Rich’s birthday!), enjoy some of Il Pirata’s great eats, and experience the LearnTech PlayShops … a chance to interact and discuss music  technology with the musicians and tech-artisans themselves.

The Maze Party has undergone some major changes in the last few days. There is a small faction of the local community who has taken it upon themselves to worry and fret about every conceivable aspect of the event and managed to generate serious concern from every imaginable corner of the authoritative infrastructure.  Much of the trouble has been initiated as a result of long standing family feud that has absolutely nothing to do with us, we just happen to have got stuck in the middle. We have jumped through hoops of all sizes and color this week and each morning a new pile of hoops has presented themselves.  We do not feel that we should subject our friends and family to the drama that is going on around that property this year.  It’s a long and complicated story that we really don’t need to get ourselves involved with.  Rubber bullets and handcuffs.

HOWEVER, IN TYPICAL NEXUS FASION WE HAVE DECIDED THAT THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!!

We have made some calls and found ourselves approximately 1200 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains entirely at our disposal and we are going to do it.  We will be setting up as much of the infrastructure of our Burning Man camp as possible on such short notice and everything we had planned for the original maze party on the property.  We’re keeping the lineup, extending the hours, adding DJ slots and making it into a campout.  The only catch is that we can’t announce the exact location on this thread because the spies might be watching.  So the MAZE is still happening, the focus of the maze has just changed.  Instead of wandering through the confines of 8-14 ft. high hay bail walls, now the maze becomes how to find the party.  Good Luck, get on the phone, get on the internet, send a twitter, release a pigeon, figure it out.  I love you, I know you can do it!

If we went through with the old plan we would be at the mercy of entirely too many authoritative powers who would more than likely put a huge damper on our fun.  This way, we can do what we want and all get together and have one of the most memorable weekends of the year.  Have no fear my fellow friends.  Nexus will prevail!

Please note that this event is for ages 18 and up.  If you would like to request a refund because you are underage, or for any of the reasons stated above, please contact Brown Paper Tickets at 1-800-838-3006 before ticket sales end at 9am on Nov. 7th.

Come get lost within the confines of a 2 acre hay bale labyrinth!

I have to declare… that may have been my favorite Stilldream ever. Minor hiccups in the overall plan… An ASTONISHING mix of close friends from almost every corner of my life, including new ones who i am thrilled to know! Incredible laughter and moments of awe over the talent and ingenuity that people contributed to make that event such a whopping success.

Gush Gush… Kiss Kiss…

So before ending this post, i want to extend a special thanks to Paul and the rest of Stilldream crew who busted they ass to make this party happen. And to my village peeps who never fail to wake me up with my own laughter. And of course to Emily, the most supportive and understanding she-pimp on earth.

Until next time… ~S

One week from today, the sun could be shining. One week from today, our city could be an island, separated from the peninsula along an undiscovered faultline. One week from today, we could all wake up from the same dream and wonder if it really happened. One week from today, you could be investing in things that matter to you.

By which we mean to say: Equity is just around the corner with hot pizza, deep basslines and $2 Red Stripes. Let the fresh new music from Seventh Swami and Resynthesize provide a soundtrack for some real conversations. Let yourself be happy for more than an hour, but start with one.

Muti Music is a label that has been consistently pumping out good music in the Bay Area for years. We’re excited to welcome label head Dov with Seventh Swami and Nanda, both of whom have dope recent releases on Muti, on to the bus.

Dov is one of San Francisco’s continual boundary pushers in electronic music having produced music, party nights and distributing music from the vibrant Bay Area music scene since 1996. Founding his own imprint, Muti Music in 2002 and since then making a distinctive mark on the west coast sound. The sounds to be expected from Dov are always elevated and emotional, whether downtempo or peak time uptempo in super-clubs.

SeventhSwami delivers a wide range of musical styles… from downtempo, trip-hop and dub to midtempo, breakbeat and psy. Melodic and beat-oriented… Swami’s music is spiritually uplifiting, original and always thought-provoking.

Nanda typically dips into multiple influences and emerges with something broken in beats and flirting with Dubstep, Grime, Garage, Electro Bass and Downtempo music in genre classifications. The result is something that pushes a few edges technologically and somehow retains a sense of worldliness. In Nanda’s music it’s common to catch samples of Didgeridoo, Ood and ancient chants amongst other strings and organic instrumentation all in tracks that have some of the most crunchy Electro Breaks grooves and the result is an intense ecstatic dance experience waiting to happen.

This will be a night not to be missed!

We meet at The Bus Stop Gallery for check-in at 8pm and our bus leaves promptly at 8:30pm. We return you at Midnight. All our events are 21+ and BYOB. Tickets are $21 and can be purchased through the transportedsf website.
