Joining him is Todd Edwards, a house legend in his own right, credited as one of the originators of UK Garage. Rounding out this stellar line-up is Nate Manic, who relocated to the Bay Area after being a fixture in the Midwest house scene, including a stint as music director and talent buyer at Smartbar in Chicago. Nate recently founded the label Quaint but Extra with Charles Hawthorne, and released his self-titled album earlier this year to rave reviews. Join us for a night of warm vibes and incredible music.

Chicago house and disco legend, Derrick Carter, makes his way back to San Francisco... "Although I'm married to Chicago, I do like to sleep around."
Derrick has been widely acknowledged as one of the better DJs of the world. With innovative productions, consummate technical skills and an effortlessly joyful attitude of rocking a crowd, his impact has infiltrated throughout the spectrum of dance music.
Although known as one of the key players of Chicago's '90s house music wave, he actually began DJ'ing at the age of nine, spinning disco, funk and blues records at family reunions. So naturally, he often travels outside standard club tastes, incorporating bits of disco, soul, jazz, new wave, and whatever else catches his fancy.
When asked to describe himself and his influences he answers, "They come from many places. Basically all kinds of stuff. Including, but not limited to, everything that currently exists. Really though? I'm just a guy that plays music sometimes, makes music sometimes, and has a bunch of dogs that keep the stress away. Also, I like to keep myself pretty invisible. You may think I'm somewhere, but I've already left."
