pLANET BOOTY

Booty: the force that brings us together.

Having started as a conceptual space-funk opera in 2008 by brothers Nathan and Dylan Germick, Planet Booty has evolved into a hip-grinding, sweat-pouring live show of epic proportions. The expanded ensemble fuses electronics (synths, beats, samples) with live instruments (drums, guitars, horns, percussion..) and a hellacious excess of energy. The resulting blend of dance beats pushes the limits of space-funk and electro-gospel, drawing influences from such artists as LMFAO, Chromeo, Talking Heads and James Brown.

DJ J Boogie

San Francisco resident and world-renowned DJ/producer J Boogie continues to challenge the boundaries of the music world across genres, styles, languages and borders throughout his 20-year career. This truly unique artist speaks to his listeners through a diverse musical language he created integrating techniques and musical genres including downtempo, dub, hip–hop, soul, reggae, funk, African, Latin, bhangra, dancehall, disco, electro, bass, tropical, dubstep and house. Constantly revolutionizing the game, creating new sounds, and always keeping fans on their feet, J-Boogie continues to lift music to its full potential through his distinct approach and one-of-a-kind style.

Zeb Early

Zeb Early is a Memphis-born, California-based DJ/Producer/Musician/Emcee who brings uplifting vibes to any audience or project. Rooted in funk & soul music with a deep understanding of bass-heavy Reggae, Dancehall, Hip-hop and Dubstep; there's is no pinning this guy down.

afrolicious

Afrolicious has established itself as both one of the most legendary weekly parties in San Francisco, and of the top live/electronic bands on the scene. Started as a weekly dance party featuring DJ's and brothers Pleasuremaker and Señor Oz alongside percussionists, MC's and horn players, and an amazing crowd from day one. Over the years it has evolved as founding DJ/Producer Pleausremaker (Joe McGuire) alongside brother Señor Oz (Oz McGuire) hooked up with some of the most exciting personalities in the Bay Area music scene and started writing original music under the alias Afrolicious.

matt haze

Matt Haze began his DJ career in the Bronx as a husky 10 year-old, cutting up the dopest Paula Abdul and MC Hammer cassingles at his little sister’s birthday party. In high school, he took a fervent interest underground music and started attending basement shows and warehouse raves. To share his newfound passion, Haze founded NYC a pirate radio station with two tape decks, a mail-order transmitter kit and a ratty pair of old headphones that doubled as the studio mic.

Today, after logging thousands of frequent flyer miles and hundreds of gigs, Haze brings an eclectic flavor and sophisticated sonic palette to the turntables. Don’t be surprised to hear Israeli dancehall, Brazilian funk, Ukrainian hip-hop or German oompahtronics in the mix alongside the latest heavy bass cuts and always a few dusties from his deep crates!

professor bang

Professor Bang has been DJing since 1998, when he inherited a mismatched pair of decks and a secondhand mixer from some friends. Never one to do things the easy way, he learned to beatmatch with drum n’ bass, and it wasn’t long before he was spinning at raves and clubs around the Bay Area and Northern California. His tastes quickly wandered beyond d n’ b, leading him to gigs spinning house, hip-hop, indie rock and beyond; his background as a multi-instrumentalist and singer may be to blame for his genre-bending style. Juggling bands, a radio career and DJ gigs makes for some late nights and early mornings, but pBang’s commitment to bringing crucial sounds to the dancefloor is unwavering. Since joining forces with Slayers Club in late 2008, Professor Bang has brought his talents to bear on new venues, new audiences and new styles…with plenty more to come!
