RAW SF, known for throwing the Bay Area's largest fashion + music + art monthly is back and ready to start 2012 off with an EPIC BANG at it's new location, 1015 Folsom!
'ACTIVATE' will feature over 25 of San Francisco's hottest emerging and legendary underground artists coming together to cause a boundary pushing event of unparalled proportions...
If you've already checked out RAW (held previously at 111 Minna) then you know what we mean... and if you haven't yet- you are in for quite a creative journey!
(v.) activate- to make reactive or more reactive.

"San Francisco producer Giraffage's latest output keeps him comfortably in line with other contemporary West Coast beatmakers crafting pleasantly ambient and sample-laden instrumentals, such as Shlohmo or Baths."
