DJ Seven
A founder of Lo-Rise Recordings (house, techno and breaks), DJ Seven was first hooked on electronic music by Orbital's 'Green' album he’s never looked back. In college at San Diego he DJed at college parties for kicks before moving back to the Bay Area to begin promoting parties including 'Indian Summer Daze' with DJs Josh [Gathering] and Charlotte the Baroness. He later started a weekly at Jerry Garcia's old hang-out, The Inn of the Beginning in Cotati. 1998 was a breakthrough year starting with regular gigs at Backflip (now Bambuddha) which gave him access to 1015 Folsom with Kruder and Dorfmeister, Om Records 'West Coast Massive' in Miami and other hot-spots around SF. In 2000, he started the 'Blue' party, now in its 5th year and featuring some of SF's best house/techno and downtempo DJs. In addition to his residency at SUEDE, DJ Seven regularly spins at WISH, Le Colonial, Bubble Lounge, Element, and Levende.
Linden C
Linden C was born in East London and grew up listening to the myriad of musical cultures that make the area so unique such as Froggy's Roadshow, Saxon Reggae System, Keith Le Blanc Shep Pettibone and Larry Levan. Today Linden C has established himself as a firm favorite in DJ booths across the globe. His funky deep vocal and tribal real house sound can be guaranteed to please lovers of quality music, and if you find it hard keeping up with his globetrotting and studio antics you can be certain to catch him playing his sound in various venues across the UK in the forthcoming year.
DJ Sol
DJ Sol (aka Dave Bailey) comes from three generations of musicians. While attending college in Santa Monica he began collecting records and DJing at home - making mixed tapes and doing small parties with his close friends. In the early '90s, he moved to SF to further his college education in broadcasting and studio engineering, which opened up his eyes and ears to the just-emerging SF rave music scene and the Techno, Trip-Hop and House music parties featuring DJ pioneers such as Doc Martin, Garth, and Jeno. He started aggressively pushing his DJing career in 1995. The style of music he spins - a mix of House, Breaks, Hip-Hop, Mash-ups, Reggae, and Funk - is constantly changing and cutting-edge.
