Father’s Happy Hour presents “Pre-club music for post-party people Vol.1″

Posted in Music with tags , , , on January 6, 2011 by Jack

I thought I would start the New Year off right by offering to you a new mix. This one is inspired by the Happy Hour I did last year at the club 222 Hyde. Although I am no longer doing this event, I wanted to continue my inspiration for the event through a series of mixes I am calling “Pre-club music for post-party people.”

Father knows best

I’ve been DJ’ing for almost 14 years now and as I have gotten older, I have moved on from club life into fatherhood and other daytime activities. This process has also involved a musical shift for me as well. I’ve always loved many different types of music, but now, I’ve been integrating these various sounds into my DJ set. DJ’ing is more than just making people dance, it’s about creating an atmosphere, a mood, a sense of time and place. Ultimately, the role of the DJ is to use sound to create a space that invites people in and makes them feel at home. I hope you enjoy!

Father’s Happy Hour – Wednesday, February 17th, at Club 222, San Francisco.

I’m very pleased to announce the beginning of a new monthly beginning on February 17th, 2010, at Club 222, at 222 Hyde St. in San Francisco. After a four-year hiatus from any sort of DJ residency, I have finally found the right time and the right place and the right people to start another musical endeavor.  And so, without further ado, I present

Father’s Happy Hour

pre-club music for post party-people

My inspiration was the impending arrival of my son (due on June 29th of 2010.) I have realized over the course of the past few months, and perhaps over the past few years even, I no longer like late nights and late parties. But, in spite of this, I feel nothing compares to hearing good music in a proper atmosphere: great sound, good atmosphere and amongst friends. I know as I am getting older there are many others just like me: retired ravers, day-trippers, family people but still in love with music. Therefore I believe there is a need in the music community I hope I am able to fulfill by presenting a monthly happy hour which caters to a more mature crowd.

I am happy to have on board with me my friends and fellow residents, Kevin Knapp, from Satellite, and Marc Kate aka Silencefiction, label head of one of San Francisco’s best labels, Untitled & After. My goal with the sound track to this event is to bring together all the music I have ever loved together in a context befitting the atmosphere and quality of the evening. British indie rock , 80′s synthpop, classic deep house, electronic lounge, dubstep and the many layers of sonic texture between and beyond.

I’d like to give a shout-out to my friend Nate Riley for the fantastic illustration for the flyer and to Marc Kate for the design.
