**DEEP CITY CULTURE**

(1st time playing SF)

Deep City Culture Facebook

Deep City Culture Soundcloud

 

Deep City Culture is the new brainchild of Auganism (Sumner St.Clair), OrkidZ (Issam Jadrane), and My Pet Monster (Ryan Summers), a musical and artistic experiment that combines the guys' 30+ years of music making experience with a desire to push things forward (and outward). The result has been an eclectic range of sounds influenced by their broad (only occasionally overlapping) taste in music, forged into a common vision of a diverse and challenging musical experience. Oh, and you can dance to it. Look for their debut compilation, Deep City Culture Vol. 1, coming soon to deepcityculture.com.

Slayers Club, known for throwin' & rockin' some of the Bay Area's biggest and baddest parties, is a collective of DJs, producers, MCs, visual artists, designers, and other creatives. Devoted to the exploration and advancement of dropped riddims with maximum defness and with roots in bass music, Slayers Club is a family, a force, a movement.
