As
you are all aware, the
SF Club-Rave scene is having a bit of trouble
these days. Big clubs and even
bigger parties are being shut down, sold out, or just plain not happening in the
first place. Clubs, that have been a staple to the SF dance scene, are no longer
around. The big clubs left are
often overcrowded and deluded with people just out to get drunk and/or laid.
Yuch! I
see these changes reshaping the scene, but not in the negative ways
you first might think. In it's infancy, the House Kulture was strictly
underground, like a secret no one
could simply just tell you. To be
clued in to this magic secret, it requires people to experience the House Scene
first hand for themselves. Little Parties in Little places with huge vibe, deep
love, and mutual understanding were the norm...But these
grew and grew to the big name DJ’s and laser soaked warehouses that we
all know so well. (No disrespect to
“Big name “ DJ’s intended, after all, they got to be big names cause they
have amazing talents that inspire me always.) At the same time, Madison Avenue
saw “Rave Culture” and greedily absorbed it’s most superficial elements.
Now baggy pants and “techno” music are used to sell sneakers and AOL
disks look like party flyers. Recently,
and especially in our beautiful city of San FranDISCO, with all the cracking
down on raves and closing of clubs, the original flame of house looks like
it’s diminishing, right? WRONG!
To me, it’s quite the opposite. To
me, the original flame of house appears to be transforming right back to it's
earliest roots of those smaller places
and intimate parties with A WHOLE LOT OF HEART AND VIBE! These smaller venues
give great opportunity for talented but unknown DJ’s to play their music for
people and really add to and help shape the lexicon of music known world-wide as
“The San Francisco Sound” It's
looking like the best is not over and done but is yet to come! Little
parties in venues such as Bohemia, 26Mix, and Club 6 (To name only a few) have
had parties with phenomenal vibe! I
can’t help but think that THAT
must have been what is was like at the first small parties in Chicago and New
York and London in the earliest days
of the House Music scene! I
feel like we, as lucky members of this very special community,
are all in store for some really amazing developments in the world of
House Kulture in the coming months and years.
Like a Christmas present on Dec. 24th....We can shake it, even guess at
what it might be, but we won't really know what it is until it is opened. This
present isn’t address to just you or just me.
This present
will be addressed to ALL OF US! This present is something we can only open if we
open it TOGETHER, as a COMMUNITY! All I know for sure, is that it is going to
be something very very special, something that each of us have always
wanted and something we will all love, Together!
I can hardly wait to see just what it is, but I know the anticipation I
feel is also
part of this
magical gift! I
want to thank each of you from the bottom of my heart and soul for
being a part of this
wonderful family, this unique community. Each of you are a part of the gift as
well. I also want to especially
thank my immediate family in this community, The Good Vibe Tribe (GVT).
You people have added more positivity and love to my life than any
of you could ever know, and I thank the cosmos for each of your friendships! Most
of all, I want to thank my future wife, Kelli (DJ Kelliness), who has taught me
the true potential of LOVE; Love of Family, Love of Music and Love
of Community. I
am so looking forward to opening “the present” , a bit at a
time, with each of you, places all over San FranDISCO and the Bay Area!
We have just got to Keep on Keeping on and the rest will happen by magic,
the magic of House! Until
then, PLUR and God Bless, and
of course.............. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! |
