The Magician — Magic Tape 39



The Magician has just released Magic Tape #39, part of a series of mixes shrouded in mystery yet always worth a listen. You’ll find a mix of electro, house, and indie dance including his own remixes and exclusives. If you enjoy #39, his previous releases do not disappoint.

Z-Trip_fix

Z-Trip — BBC Radio1 Hip Hop Takeover Mix



This mix originally aired in November on BBC Radio 1 and is now readily available to us fans in the US. On this one Z-Trip goes back to his roots, with an uncompromising mix of hip hop seamlessly blended as only Z-Trip can. As much as I enjoy the across-the-spectrum mixes we typically see from Z, it is refreshing to hear a new hip hop mix of this quality.

Two-Fingers_fix

Two Fingers – DJ Set 2013



Two Fingers is the alter-ego of Amon Tobin. As this year will mainly spent in the studio, he has released one of his dj sets from 2013. This mix showcases a variety of styles on the harder side and it pounds. This is in no way a relaxing Sunday morning mix. Tracks from Amon himself, Para One, Flying Lotus, Noisia, Say Nothin, Metallica, and more are included. Enjoy!

Z-Trip
Mezzanine ~ Friday, 8/30

Z-Trip is one of the best DJs in the world, focusing on the art of turntablism. Historically, Zach Sciacca is known as the Godfather of the mashup movement — he blazed this trail in the early aughts before Girl Talk got hyperactive. Z-Trip has worked with Dan the Automator, Kasabian, LL Cool J, Talib Kweli & MSTRKRFT amongst others. Get to Mezzanine early Friday — there is a HOSTED Russian Standard Vodka bar from 9-10PM (that means free vodka while suplies last).

For fans of: A-Trak, Backyard Bangers, DJ QBert

Andre Nickatina
Slim’s ~ Saturday, 8/31

Born and raised in the Fillmore District of San Francisco, Andre Nickatina has been a Hip-Hop/Rap luminary since the release of his critically acclaimed debut, The New Jim Jones. He changed his name from Dre Dog to Andre Nickatina in 1996, transforming his career to a plateau that allowed him to create and develop a loyal fanbase, most notably with hip hop fans who love idealizing cocaine.

For fans of: Mac Dre, Equipto, The Luniz

Rin Tin Tiger
Great American Music Hall ~ 8/31

Rin Tin Tiger is an alternative folk rock trio from San Francisco, who exude high energy, lyric heavy, acoustic guitar-led songs about life in contemporary society. They have shared the stage with Young the Giant, Manchester Orchestra, The Lumineers, Rogue Wave, and many more along the West Coast. Another luminous indie act French Cassettes are the featured act — and this show Saturday at Great American is serving as a double album release party for both Rin Tin TIger & French Cassettes.

For fans of: Bob Dylan, Violent Femmes, Tupac Shakur
