March 20: Road to Ultra

2010-03-16T10:00:00.000-07:00

Ok! It's time to get down(tempo). I'm thrilled to celebrate my return--triumphant or otherwise--to the Ambient Mafia this Saturday with a downtempo set at Road to Ultra. The Mafia will be hosting the second room at this delicious event, held at one of my favorites...Supperclub. The mainroom is keeping up its end of the bargain with some juiiiicy DJs. See the flyer below.

Oh, did I mention you can go for free? Yes, all of you! Just email your name to rsvp@keyframe-entertainment.com and arrive before 11 p.m. I'm on at 11:45, so doesn't that work out nicely?

I'm putting together an all-new set for this one. (Thanks to those of you who sent suggestions in my Facebook poll!) See you there!

Event details below and on Facebook.

About the show...

Sound System Syndicate
California Underground Dance Music Radio

SSS CA Underground is a bi-weekly webcast (unless scheduled differently). Our goal is to provide a platform to expose the talent of local Bay Area Dj�s in the Underground Dance scene to the friends and fans with our web cast.

We will have at least one guest dj every show along with the host Dj�s (DJ ZION & DJ Reign.) We will have a short interview with our guest dj. We aim on giving the guest djs an opportunity to share their love of dance music and allow them to play any style of music. This is not always the case, as when getting booked for gigs you usually have to play what they book you for.

Each show you can comment during the show or ask questions to the djs about their music. And we will do our best to answer them. We are striving to bring you a wide variety of underground dance music.

Dance music that is hardly heard out on the radio or in the clubs. Many of our guest djs play our regularly here in the Bay Area at Clubs or Underground raves.

We are very excited to bring you this new format and share with all of our new listeners as we take this journey through our passion �Dance Music� Thank you for tuning in!

About the Artists:

Bryan Zentz (Plus 8, Disruptor, Portland)
The most interesting musicians are those who remain constant and true to themselves come what may. An essential part of the daily ritual, music defines their very existence offering both spiritual and emotional release. Nevertheless, it�s not always easy to follow your instincts especially when they fall outside the current mainstream sound but as Bryan Zentz proves, if your hand stays steady and your aim is pure the spotlight will return to you again.

Bryan�s current EP on Plus 8 finds him rolling out on a Richie Hawtin label a full 15 years after the pairs� first collaboration. In a sense, it brings his career full circle, it was Hawtin who originally gave Bryan the motivation and belief to keep going while he was still looking for his first deal and indeed, it all came good in 1994 with a debut release on the legendary Definitive label. Recording as Barada, classics such as Mathematics and Glue backed up by the full length album Strategies for a Deeper Design, while other early releases on labels like EXperimental, Bush and Clashbackk really caught the imagination of the global techno community resulting in remixes for Woody McBride, Christian Smith, Marco Bailey, Hardcell, Ken Ishii and Tim Xavier (to name a few) and a DJ schedule that�s taken him across the USA, France, Belgium, Australia and Japan

DJ Amber (iamthedj.com, San Francisco)
DJ Amber has been passionately mixing and creating music since 1997, including thousands of appearances in San Francisco and around the world. As a music producer, her original tracks have been widely released, including four releases on her own label, iamthedj Recordings. Amber's most recent remix release, �Wonder (DJ Amber�s WonderPlay Remix)�, is available on the Karmacoda compilation CD LUX LIFE: Illuminated Remixes.

2010-01-13T12:48:00.000-08:00

I will not be appearing at Burnlesque this Saturday as scheduled. You may have seen that I was scheduled to play with the Ambient Mafia at Burnlesque. Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, the event is no longer able to present a chill room. The Ambient Mafia and I will not be appearing, but the event will go on. By the way, this event includes some, um, "adult themes"--so if you're sensitive about that, maybe skip this one. Otherwise, it's a great benefit party for a good cause, so step right up.

**Burnlesque will sell out. Get presales.**

2009: A Look Back

2009-12-24T01:23:00.000-08:00

(Pictured: Favorite DJ gig of 2009...for the LPGA. This year I rocked a room full of golfers. Hel-lo! They stormed the stage and the party blew up--love it.)

Wow, what a year. I can't tell you how grateful I am for all the support you share. In 2010 I'll be releasing my new mix CD "neo.maximal", celebrating my return to the chillroom as a member of the Ambient Mafia, and re-shaping my techno sound to reflect the new decade.

But before we move ahead, a look back at the highlights (and lowlights) of 2009:

Favorite Producer: Dennis Bunas

Favorite Blogger: Chris Guillebeau - Art of Non-Conformity

Favorite DJ Music Format: CD. It's official, I've moved to CD. It will never, ever replace vinyl in my heart--but it's even getting difficult to find new releases on vinyl. I get it, time to get with the times. Ok, then...

Favorite DJ Gig: LPGA Tournament After Party. Is it wrong that my favorite gig this year was for the LPGA? (Yes, the golf people.) I mean, those golfers got down! I love converting "normal" people to crazy club dancers.

Favorite Event: Dysfunctional Family Gathering, in memory of Dysfunctional Mike.

Favorite Quote/Life Philosophy: "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anais Nin

Favorite Music Appreciation Revelation: Jazz. Listening to jazz at the Spotted Cat on Frenchman Street in New Orleans changed me. Haven't stopped listening since. Their jazz culture is the same as our dance music culture. Same fire, same community, same crazy characters. Just a genre with a deeper tradition.

Biggest "FAIL": SFPD sieze laptop computers from DJs. A big step in the wrong direction. Laptops were eventually returned.

Biggest Win: The Everhearts. Learning to sing, play bass, drum & write songs (well, non-electronic songs) with this band meant everything to me this year! (Plus, my bandmates are amazing people. How lucky am I?) Best overall experience of 2009. These skills totally broaden my perspective as DJ and, yes, I'm considering bringing vocals to my DJ sets in 2010.

That's the year in review, kids! I'll spend the last week of this year plotting my path for 2010. I've got personal and musical goals in mind. How about you?

Rocking you in 2010:
January 14 - Internet broadcast - Leath Brothers show
January 16 - Burnlesque
February 13 - Signal Event
February 21 - Internet broadcast - SSSCAunderground

Dec 23: friskyRadio Broadcast

2009-12-20T11:52:00.000-08:00

friskyRadio is my favorite internet radio station. Period. Best dance music 24/7.

On Wednesday, December 23 at 7 a.m. Pacific Time I'll make my debut on friskyRadio's X-Chrome show. (Yes, that's pretty early! They broadcast from the UK. Get your own copy and listen anytime--details below.) This exclusive mix for friskyRadio includes tracks by Dennis Bunas, A.Paul and Allan Banford. 100% all-new music.

Thank You: A Reflection on 12 Years

2009-11-02T21:30:00.000-08:00

I started DJing 12 years ago this month. If I'd had a kid the day I'd started DJing, by now she would be wearing too much eyeliner and rolling her eyes. "Whatever, Mom. Sigh."

But, instead, the adventure I took on was this one. I couldn't resist the draw to spin records. Yeah, it was about the music, that's for sure. But it was also about creating environments for people to celebrate. To shout. To bring them together. You know, the stuff that matters. Thanks to a little luck and a lot of hard work I've had more incredible experiences than I can count.

There's no way I could have had these experiences without you. You are amazing. I am so grateful. Thank you.

Is there a passion you are drawn toward? Do you give it your time? Could you give it everything? Imagine what you could get if you did. Imagine what you might miss if you didn't. Don't miss out. Jump in.

What would you do if you could do anything? I want to hear about it.

Upcoming Music

The Everhearts: A Folk Band Project

2009-09-14T11:23:00.000-07:00

This year I joined a folk band, The Everhearts, and I'm excited to share a little about it...

The Everhearts is a four-member folk band. I am honored to contribute some of my own original songs, sing, and play bass guitar with this great group. My music interests run a huge range. Yes, including folk!

Both the band and DJing remain very important to me. I look forward to seeing you all at any of my events: on the techno tip or getting funky to folk!

Review: Serato Scratch Live

2009-02-07T22:11:00.000-08:00

Q: Hey I know you went digital a while back, U use cds or Serato? I just got Serato a few months ago and love it, you learn any cool tricks using it? - DJ Zion

A: You know, I had Serato for a couple of months and then sold it...it's a beautiful system, but getting it patched in and out during a real, live set was just impossible. Also, about one out of six gigs there was some kind of technical who-knows-what that kept me from being able to play at all.

I have just (like *just*) burned a CD set and am only now really getting used to CD decks. Still love records best!

(Got a question or comment? Drop me a line!)

DJ Amber on Malaysia Tour!

2008-12-18T21:42:00.000-08:00

26th Dec '08 - Heritage Mansion, Kuala Lumpur
27th Dec '08 - Club Momo Penang, Penang

Big love to Mylen at Powerhouse Adverting Agency for putting these incredible events together. You'd better believe I'm sticking around for New Year's Eve, too!

Lots of pictures (and maybe even some posts here) to come. Have an incredible holiday season...no matter what part of the world you'll be in!

Dec 6: Pink for the Cure (Reno, NV)

Friday, 7 November 2008

NEW PARTY! NEW VENUE! From the minds of THIRSTY, FAKTION, DEF and many others!

Molek�le: an entity of strongly connected components, each with well defined individual properties, yet the synthesized entity possesses properties unique to itself.

Main Room:
FARZANA: Classy Concepts|3 Merry Men Be We
AMBER: Thirsty|SisterSF
KENNETH SCOTT: Auralism|Nightlight|Binary

Chill Area:
STML
TOMKAT
SAIMAN

live webcast via Radio Integrated!

Julie's Supperclub
1123 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA
9 PM to 2 AM 21+
Cost: $5 after 10pm.

STML: STML's vast knowledge of music, technical ear and mixing talent are immediately noticeable once he steps behind the decks. Taking a subtractive approach to mixing, STML prefers to keep it cool while taking you to places in techno that are often unfamiliar... yet at the same time oh so sick!

AMBER: For over 10 years, Amber has served it up "music first," relying on aggressive mixing of new and classic tracks instead of gimmickry or hype. Amber has played at all of SF's leading clubs, Ruby Skye, 1015, Supperclub as well as countless undergrounds.

FARZANA left her native Detroit to be part of San Francisco's Techno rebirth 2 years ago. Having built a reputation for dark, dirty and funky, her love affair with techno looks to continue heating up for many years to come.

KENNETH SCOTT, aka Eutactic cites as his influence early Warp records, Matthew Dear's acid experimentation as Audion and minimal-minded composers such as Philip Glass and Arvo Part. Defying categorization, he combines hard and melodic into his own unique style.
