Nicole’s birthday is coming up and what better way to celebrate than at the NicolePresents and Sense SF monthly, The Show at The Endup.   We are blessed with the appearance of SOUL OF MAN from Fingerlickin’ Records, UK!  Yes, we got our breaks headliner from our favorite label! So RSVP HERE for $10 list and save yourself some money!  That’s a steal for 14 hours of music! Plus look at our rock star local lineup!

THE SHOW is one of the Bay Area’s best monthly underground events, providing you with those dirty, nasty, funky beats that keep you on the dance floor all night. Every third Sunday, we showcase the heroes of the underground scene that bring us the newest sounds. In the evening, we showcase breakbeats, electro, hip hop hybrids, hyphy, glitch, acid bass, and dubstep. In the mornings we feature house, tech house and progressive house beats.

SAT AUG 15TH  – THE SHOW – THE RETURN OF AN EXCLUSIVE REUNION SET WITH HIPP-E & HALO OF H FOUNDATION!!!! Sat 10pm – Sun noon

RSVP FOR SPECIAL DISCOUNTED $10 LIST  www.sensesf.com/show

This was one of the best Show nights to date since the inception two years ago!  You really must come down and see these guys spin!  We also have an all star cast with Rouzbeh, Martin Acquino, DirtyHertz and Manny Ward!

H-Foundation (aka Hipp-E + Halo) is an American production team that has found great success in the U.K. tech-house scene with a residency at London’s Fabric club and exposure on Pete Tong’s and Carl Cox’s radio show. After a four-year hiatus, these two DJs are coming back together for an exclusive reunion set at this month’s edition of The Show!!!

Calling all DJ’s, Artists & Designers:

My amazing friends at 440 Brannan Studios are interested in hosting events at the shop to pull a broader client base and to feature all that is creative and wonderful about our city…YOU!!! Jill & Brian, specifically, have supported my work and opened many doors for me to progress as a designer. I am so very grateful for them and hope to return the favor by offering up your talents to make their events more spectacular.

All events will offer booze, snacks and a unique shopping experience once a week. Local Designers featured at the studio include: gr.dano, Distilled, OM (t-shirts), Vanessa Salazar (jewelry), Spatterdash, 5733, Kirsten Muenster and many more.

We are looking for any artistic genre that will add to the guests’ experience. Since there are no decks here we will work something out with the DJ’s to make it worth your while to bring some. For you up-and-comers, this could be a nice spot to loosen up and get comfy playing out more.

Live art and/or gallery style openings are also welcome. There is art up here but we’re looking to showcase a wider range of what SF has to offer.

Live screen-printing is cool because it will directly add to the shopping aspect of the events.

We are steering clear of fashion shows for obvious reasons.

If anyone has other ideas, please share! It’s a nice space with so much to offer. Let’s get creative

Call me or FB me anytime. I would like to have a list of interested contacts assembled to give to Jill before I move away July 25th. So, let me know a.s.a.p. if there is anything you would like to contribute to these events.

Thanks All!

Love,
Vanessa Salazar

Lee Coombs Bio:
Bending boundaries and ignoring the status quo – where would the Breakbeat scene be today without Lee Coombs. For over a decade this British producer has been at the forefront of it all; releasing groundbreaking mix CDs, remixing the world’s most acclaimed artists and knocking out dancefloor destroying productions that are considered classics years after their release.

A seasoned veteran, Coombs first hit the DJ slopes in 1989, bathing himself in the acid house scene at parties around London and Cambridge. Crucial in shaping his all-encompassing approach to DJing and production, this boundary-less approach would become Coombs’ trademark, mixing up breaks, house, electro, techno and acid with dexterous assurance.

When he is not in the producers chair, Coombs regularly tours all corners of the globe and is a bona-fide fans favourite throughout Europe, the USA, Australia, Asia and of course the UK. His popularity has also ensured his repeat appearance at infamous festival ‘The Burning Man’ in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada.

In an industry that’s so often governed by trends and fads, Coombs’ unwavering ability to simultaneously destroy dancefloors and push musical boundaries almost 20 years since he first touched a pair of turntables is a remarkable achievement in itself. With plans to further spread his production wings to writing music for film and TV, as well as producing bands, there’s little doubt that his impressive sonic skills will be rocking ears for many years to come.

The Show is one of the Bay Area’s best monthly underground events, providing you with those dirty, nasty, funky beats that keep you on the dance floor all night.
