hello friends,

thanks to all that came out for filastine's performance last month - it was a truly inspiring set for a comfortably packed house. we will have some photos up soon on the roots and wires website...

this saturday, september 30th, we return with the ninth round of stateless, again at SF's amnesia. for our live act, we are excited to bring you the wailing junktet, performing brazillian rhythms on found junk objects... they were killer at the recent novo sounds event (at the supper club)...

our guest dj is vanka, who hosts the misturada event at club six. here's a blurb that xlr8r's tomas palermo wrote about him:

"DJ Vanka has tapped into a vibe that clubs like Bar Rhumba in London have been promoting for years: organic and electronic Afro-Latin dance music. Vanka's hardly late to the game, though; he DJed for 10 years with Stellar Trax soundsystem, playing everything from reggae to drum 'n' bass. Now the Belgian native focuses his energies on the Worldwide crew (which includes DJs Wisdom and Ruben) and makes sure the Make-Out Room is packed with dancers every Saturday for Misturada (Portuguese for "mixed"). As Vanka works his way through a mix of salsa, samba, reggaeton, cumbia, Latin house, and Brazilian batucada breaks, the place becomes a sweatbox of swirling bodies"

wicked!

resident dj, the worker (six degrees, stateless), will drop his usual dancefloor magic, with everything from baile funk to ragga breaks.

the roots and wires hi-fi will close out the night, in full soundsystem style - with both original productions and the thickest selections, from dubstep and ragga-jungle, old school bollywood and asian massive, to uk steppers and roots reggae... their performance will be dubbed live with analogue delays, siren and sound units, melodica and more...

finally, the stateless crew will tag-team and provide visual mixing to complete the multimedia mandala...

make sure to come out for a diverse night of outernational and rootsical sounds, live and electronic, roots and wires...

the night starts at 9PM and goes until 2AM. the cover is only $5. the location is amnesia, 853 valencia - between 19th and 20th...

peace,

khenu (special agent k)
