“Representing the Bay Area, specifically San Francisco, both REL and JBillion came together to mesh various sub-cultures within the Bay Area to showcase their unique sound. With REL on production duties, and JBillion handling vocals, the album is testament to the burgeoning hip hop scene in San Francisco and the general …Bay Area. “MVMNT” is an album to help foster a movement, mesh cultures, while showcasing all the talent in San Francisco, an often overlooked city when it comes to highlighting up and coming talent. Helping celebrate the release of The MVMNT is guest, the one and only, DJ Mind Motion! Join us every Thursday for Good music, Good people, and Good vibes at the Good Foot.”
Clean Ass Whip (Full Mix) by SWTBRDS
What do you do on a more than gloriously sunny day, besides work on the old farmer tan? You drop the top on your imaginary convertible, fill the car with your favorite passengers, and turn the sound all the way up to 10 for Prince Aries’ newest mixtape “Clean A$$ Whip”. The which is full of classic hip-hop records and exclusive that sound best with a breeze in your face. Now if only he could get gas back down below $4.
“Sometimes one doesn’t need to explain anything in regards to a mix; that’s exactly what’s going on in this amazingly mysterious mix from DJ Centipede aka Mophono. Existing somewhere between the musical worlds of hip-hop, abstract broken beats, UK bass and West Coast flavors, this mix is meant to be heard through its entirety. Fresh, full of all things lush and absolutely perceptive of next-level musical tastemaking, Mophono will bring you to a higher state of melodic and rhythmic consciousness. No tracklist, just listen and enjoy.”
And there you have it. After blowing your iPhone away with this mix catch Mophono along with some top tier guests every Tuesday at Change The Beat. Bong, bong.

We’re proud to have him Friday at SOM. along with King Most, Prince Aries, and Fran Boogie.
“San Francisco will once again be privy to some of the finest names in electronic music later this month with the latest edition of the always-impressive Icee Hot party. This time around, the bass-centric night has managed to bring together three performers from three far-away locales–Brookyln’s synthscape mastermind Oneohtrix Point Never, London’s Blunted Robots don and Rinse FM staple Brackles, and Toronto’s slippery house maestro Egyptrixx (pictured above). And of course, joining those three globe-trotting future-music purveyors will be Icee Hot’s resident DJs Rollie Fingers, Shawn Reynaldo, and Ghosts on Tape. Clearly a night of disparate styles sure to please anyone interested in being whisked away by mountains of synths and getting down to gut-rattling bass at the same party. The full details for the event can be found over on Facebook or on the flier above.” via XLR8R
One of our favorite party rockers returns to SOM. for an insane night of dancing and music. Last time Neil was here for our 1 year anniversary it was bananas and packed by 11:00PM.
If you follow DJ culture Neil Armstrong is not a secret, he’s actually a household name. He earned a worldwide following off of original and flawlessly crafted mixtapes, travels country to country representing for Adidas, and even manned the wheels of steel for a gentleman known as Jay-Z. At this point, Neil’s reputation as an amazing DJ proceeds him.
Altantic Records signee and FOOLS GOLD alumn, DONNIS, has a new mixtape titled “Southern Lights” that is now all up in your internets tubes and pipes. Guess What? He’s also bringing his ATL-ien steez to the PREMIUM BLEND opening party SATRUDAY at SOM. Early arrival and all of that hyperbole strongly suggested.
Teaser #2 of The Roy Ayers documentary has just sprouted on the internet and it features SOM. comrade, Bobbito Garcia sharing his tale of Roy, sunshine, & rain. Also check-out the first preview with Questlove of some group called The Roots.
The Lisa Simpson of S.F.’s music scene, Christina Li, has a gab fest with Friday’s Lights Down Low guests JOKERS OF THE SCENE. Read it and come through.
