Hey folks,
Big news on the San Francisco club scene:
1. The DNA Lounge has finally re-opened under new management.
2. Blasthaus Promotions will be hosting a new weekly party there every
Thursday. Details follow...
------------------------------------------------------------------
BLASTHAUS : : presents JOYPAD this THURSDAY, JULY 19TH at DNA, 9pm
------------------------------------------------------------------
In an ambitious effort that began nearly six months ago, blasthaus
announces the debut of a "futuristic lounge" experience of art and
music called joypad. Premiering Thursday July 19, (continuing every
Thursday thereafter) the event coincides with the opening of one of
San Francisco's hottest new nightclubs, the new DNA Lounge at 375
11th Street near Harrison in SoMa. Doors open at 9pm and the event
runs until 2am. Cover charge for the 19th is $5 before 10:30pm and
$7 after. For full schedule information call 415-789-7690 or visit
http://www.blasthaus.com/joypad for all the details.
After nearly six years of presenting ground-breaking events, art
exhibitions and parties, including the much anticipated series at
SFMOMA, blasthaus' newest Thursday weekly "joypad" will focus on
downtempo derivatives of electronic music including lounge, nujazz,
broken beats and chilled breaks along with experimental counterparts
on every First Thursday (August 2nd features 3 members of
NEGATIVLAND)
For the *GRAND OPENING EVENT* on July 19th, join resident DJs
as we set the stage for an all-star lineup of international artists
and musicians to follow.

Joypad's format will emphasize an out-of-town headliner each week
of the downtempo sort in the main room supported by a local DJ,
then upstairs will venture off into various subgenres and
microscenes that will change on a weekly basis. Additionally,
every "first Thursday" session will feature a more experimental
program in the main room with a downtempo counterpart upstairs.
The "first Thursday" bookings will coincide with the long-standing
gallery opening night, for which joypad will look to become an
official post-gallery gathering spot for something a bit more
cerebral, but with all the lounge offerings still held in tact
upstairs also with special guests each week.
