This Saturday is the first major fundraiser for the enchanting playa project Bottlecap Gazebo. So many folks have been involved in this project already, it’s sure to be a huge success! In addition to fine food and excellent company, I am happy to officially announce a special performance at the event.
At sunset Sonya Harway, David Colón, Om Re and myself will be previewing our new musical project THE ADVENTURE OF COCA KOALA. This is a once off beta release before we return to our charming rehearsal space to fine tune our lush daydreams. Please join us as we lend our voices to the Bottlecap Gazebo Benefit BBQ this Saturday at Jonny’s place in Oakland.
Almost Realism Media in friendship with The Funky Ones presents:
THE WEEKEND WARRIOR PARTY
$10/Free before 11
@SOM Bar in the mission
with:
COSMIC SELECTOR
(Opulent Temple/Tek Freaks)
One half of Opulent Temple’s rockstar resident duo, Tek Freaks, Cosmic Selector has won the hearts and minds of elite party people time and time again. He is a local legend who has rocked more parties with his signature blend of tech-house, big-room house, and elctro breaks than is safe to mention in a public setting. I asked him to keep it “house-ish” for the night, and he told me he was going to play exactly what the crowd needed to hear. God bless this man.

MAD ZACH
(Muti Music, Cartesian Records)
Mad Zach joins an all star cast of bass-loving beatmakers including MiMoSa, An-ten-nae, Heyoka, and others with his latest releases on Muti Music. His original tracks sound like James Earl Jones scat singing into a talk box with the treble turned all the way down. He will rock your socks off.

ELIKI
(Opulent Temple, Frisco Fidget)
Eliki is THE Opulent Temple DJ who is quickly gaining notoriety and hype as the man to throw down the sexy deep-tech. His uncanny ability to seemlessly groove through a set will make you re-think the way that you make love.

TIM VANCE

A night for people who know how to get funky, with San Francisco’s premier costume party proprietors and a host of intrepid DJ’s who are willing and ready to give you everything your heart desires. If that voice inside your head has been telling you that you need more silly dance parties in your life, this is your opportunity to make it shut the hell up. As the kick-off party for the Almost Realism movement, we have spared only like 3 expenses to bring you the atmosphere and entertainment for a night of epic debauchery. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!
Be cool and dress up as a warrior and you get a gold star! Being wacky is highly encouraged- always- but especially tonight. And don’t be alarmed if you are attacked with a bubble sword.
