FULL MOON DANCE PARTY WITH DJ GARTH AND DJ MALARKEY

DJ Garth is a pioneering House music DJ who is largely credited with both defining and capturing the sound of San Francisco House music in the 1990s. As a recording artist, his productions are recognized on club anthems such as "Twenty Minutes of Disco Glory". He co-founded the Wicked Sound System and established a series of legendary underground parties which were important in putting San Francisco on the club/rave map.

Born and raised in England, Garth moved to San Francisco in 1990 and became a key player in the city's exploding dance scene. He organized the monthly Full Moon events that led to increased underground interest in rave culture, and in 1991, he led the Wicked Sound System venture with friends and fellow DJs Jenö, Thomas Bullock and Markie. By 1994 the crew imported a custom Tony Andrews-designed Turbosound system, teaming up with a 1947 Greyhound bus which allowed the Wicked act to tour the States.

This annual tour along with early appearances at Burning Man & Reggae on the River Festivals gave Garth the credibility to produce his own music and start a record label. Wicked Records' first (and most successful) release was DJ Garth's 1996 collaboration with E.T.I., "20 Minutes of Disco Glory," which remains a popular House track. It was featured in the soundtrack for the movie Groove.

MALARKEY: Ma-lar-key: me-lar-ke'

1. irish slang: exaggerated or foolish talk, usually intended to deceive.

2. meaningless talk or nonsense

Simply a DJ... merging the stompy feet of burners, b-boys, hipsters, gypsies, weekend warriors, hooka loungers, club kids & festival folk... is MALARKEY.

A split personality in the booth renders a gap between mid tempo funky mashed up breaks for the peak time discos... to sexy downtempo world beat for the head knocking smoke outs. A classic style of mix and arrangement with the ability to gel various tempos & rhythm.

Born & raised in Sebastopol, CA... small wine country town outside of SF, he started a weekly thursday side show called JUKE JOINT 2007 without knowing that it would become a cornerstone in the North Bay Area dance community.

The last 4 years has seen the likes of MARK FARINA, ADAM FREELAND, KRAFTY KUTS, STANTON WARRIORS, BALKAN BEAT BOX, BEATS ANTIQUE, ASKILLZ, DJ VADIM and many a others... weaving top shelf cabarets & burlesque soirées along the way.

A college audio engineering graduate, live venue talent buyer, festival producer, club promoter & obnoxious DJ... sums it up.

San Francisco Bay Area burlesque for October 13 to October 19, 2011

Before mentioning anything else, there is a change of venue for one show. The Haight Street Hop has moved on down to Brisbane's 23 Club and is now known as simply "The Hop." The show will still be on Saturday, but it'll now start at 8:00 p.m. So don't go to the Milk Bar expecting to see some burlesque! There will be something happening there, but it won't be The Hop.

The start of this next week is one of the busiest in recent memory. On Friday alone there are five shows! On Saturday, there are four events, including an author event with Robert Strom in the afternoon. So you'll have to make some decisions. Whatever your choice, though, it looks like they're all good shows and events!

So scan the listings, and see which shows appeal to you this week. The weather seems to be typical October sunshine, so perhaps you can "hop" from one show to another, like some people do. Have a good time!
