Awesomer

Party alert! Start your weekend off right with @awesomerdotcom , @dj_cira and the @proximitysf fam this Friday evening at @undergroundsf . We’re kicking things off from 6-8pm and will be bringing deep cuts and trippy beats to melt away the worldly preoccupations of the week. The night builds further with our host @victorvegadj and @miguelsolari23 from PROX. and Housepitality and local powerhouse @jamezhoudini . Finally, Detroit-based maestro of jazz-inflected deepness @recloose will rinse out the night as featured headliner. Good vibes, good music, good people, good beverages... and a good chance of winning raffle tickets to Movement in Detroit this year! Get it!

New Year, New Gig! It's a New Day + Breakfast of Champions is a Bay Area tradition and a special start to my year every year. I am unbelievably excited to be playing this unique single day underground festival, which features multiple crews holding down stages in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Get sleazy, sweaty, and slithery with DJ Cira (@dj_cira ) and me in the loft of The Great Northern (@greatnorthernsf ), from 2pm-4pm on January 1st, 2026! We two Champions of the Underground Sound will be serving piping hot bangers to mash up your New Year's Day. 🌭 🥔 🍳 🔊 🌞 😎

@awesomerdotcom aka @dante__andreas brought his San Francisco sound to Austria at @arche.ahoi last April. Full set on Youtube now. Awesomer is a San Francisco based DJ, producer and remixer of house, techno and bass music. A scene veteran, he pushes new sounds while honoring the legacy of rave. Playing styles from soulful deep house to wonky banging bassline techno, he’ll make your party... Awesomer. #bogenradio #recordingsession #awesomer #technomusic #detroittechno #sanfrancisco #archeahoi #innsbruck

Friday 7/25 🖤 Monarch gets a serious dose of the sublime when the one and only Rrose takes over the decks with her hypnotic blend of techno, drone, and minimal. Underground heads, this is your church. 🔊🕯️ Warming things up: DJ CZ, and DJ NFS, plus Awesomer, and DJ Cira holding it down in the lounge. This is SF at its most avant-garde, immersive, and unapologetically underground. 🎟️ Link in bio

New Awesomer Edit! Jacking underground breakbeat bassline rave techno from California meets the vocals of one of Bristol's most celebrated. This is a different from my typical DJ edits, in that I took both tracks down to stems with demucs v4 and then built them back up again. The result is a hypnotic banger which reflects the combined strength of the sources. Special thanks to Disfu for the inspiration and release approval.

September Gigs! First up is tomorrow, Friday, September 13, 2024, at the excellent Mission District venue Asiento (@asientosf ) with the Fraktured SF crew (@frakturedsf ). Breaks, bass, club music and more breaks. Featuring my favorite DJ and Fraktured Resident DJ Cira (@dj_cira ) and also the skilled selections of guests Deckard (@dj_deckard ) and DJ Lucho. I'll be opening the festivities at 9PM! Great food, cocktails, and most importantly, breakbeat vibrations. 🥁🔊 Then, I'll be at beloved SOMA rave haven Monarch (@monarchsf ) with the Planet Synth Collective (@planetsynthcollective ) next Thursday, September 19, 2024. The main room will be held down by the spacey beats of the Planet Synth DJs : Amatric (@amatricdj ), Evbot (@djevbot ), and Lord of the Rats (@lord_of_the_rats_808 ). I've been a fan of their Space Disco (😉) sounds since the very beginning and am honored to bring groovy vibes to the lounge alongside a very talented posse of DJs including Discoesq (@discoesq ), Kat Lê (@itskatle ) and Moisés (@mosmoi ). $5+fee tickets available at Eventbrite and Resident Advisor, links in bio. $10 at the door. Hope to see all you lovely people soon, with your faces smiling and your feet moving! 💃🕺 Art credits : the excellent album art for Mark Hawkins' album "Social Housing," by Alan Oldham aka DJ T1000 (@alan_oldham_ ), and SF Pinball Department (@sfpinballdept ) 2024 league member sweatshirt by Free Gold Watch (@freegoldwatch ).

Excited to be invited to the legendary @isolatorsf stream hosted by @peterbclarke and @dj_clairity ! The format is excellent: first an interview exploring the guest’s history in dance music and then a live mix. Truly honored to join the extensive list of Bay Area artists the Isolator stream has featured. Come hang with us on Thursday, September 7th at 8pm PDT at https://twitch.tv/isolatorsf (link also in bio!) This stream will be the debut of my techno oriented project “Dante Andreas” (@dante__andreas ). Obviously my primary outlet will always be Awesomer (@awesomerdotcom ) but Dante Andreas is a little darker, more serious and, crucially, more TECHNO. 😈🤖🔊

Gig alert! The best headliner DJ set I saw in 2022 was @jaytripwire hosted by @strutsf at @f8sf . Jay started with his characteristic heady techno styles and then, as the hour grew later, took us on a guided tour of his collection of Bay Area underground classics. It was truly the kind of set that only a DJ with deep knowledge and abiding love for dance music could play. He's bringing that magic to F8 again in a few weeks (Wednesday, August 23rd 2023) and I'm proud to announce that @DJ_Cira , Sirhc (@cmartinez ) and I will be holding down the back room all night. Strut residents Marie (@mariedj__ ) and Ghenji (@dj_ghenji ) will deliver the vibes in the front. Come groove with us! Doors at 9pm, tickets are $10, free with Eventbrite RSVP before 11pm, link in bio. DM me for GL if needed! (Photo credit : DJ Cira @ Ben UFO in Rome, IT, July 2023)

Throwback to 2019 when I met KRS-One (and a new gig alert!) ... I'm DJing in the @monarchsf lounge next Thursday night (03/30/2023) with the @fierceanimals and @headroom_sf fam! @jamesblvck tops a lineup full of techno rippers including @kellyverseofficial , @tasia_music_official and @missliv__ . They'll be bringing the heady, heavy techno energy all night in the legendary @monarchsf Rave Cave. Joining me in the lounge with some funkier vibes are the homies @scottbrio , @weivyweimusic , and @embre.ig 's very own @mario_tavares_music . (I'm going to see @teacha_krsone perform in SF again this week and that gave me an excuse to post this great pic 😅)

February/Early March 2023 gigs! Finding Awesomer has never been easier! First up (this Thursday 2/23) we have the latest installment of the diabolical Blanq Slate open decks, multi-genre b2b2b party concept, "The Mix Up" at SF Chinatown spot @lionsdensf . 3 DJs per group answer the timeless question : "Will it Blend?" Next weekend starts with DecoBass at DecoDance Bar on Polk Street in SF. @bacprop , Funkoscope, Lupi and I bring the bass-forward party motion to your Friday (3/3) night. Saturday keeps it moving with energetic house music at SOMA's Bergerac San Francisco for @housekeepingentertainment 's monthly takeover. Vibey music and giant towers of mixed cocktails practically guarantee a good time. Other DJs on the decks include @tib_uron_ , @888theives , and @billy_j_money . Links in bio, and below.
