To the weekend warriors, the nightlife ninjas, and the curbside crawlers, we are with you all the way.
Here at CYV we encourage herbal remedies, Bloody Marys, and of course a daily dose of slap to aide all the aches, bumps, and bruises collected over your weekend.
It’s simple: Save Sunday is five songs, one mixtape, easy to play, easy to repeat, and of course download links provided for mobile enjoyment. All sounds get love so expect to find everything from booms to bangs.
Sundays never looked so good.
“Back! Sorry for the pause, school started. This week it’s deeper dubstep with some throwbacks mixed in. Enjoy! “- joseph
One of your most promising options for New Year’s this year: the Snowglobe Music Festival in Lake Tahoe, December 29-31. The line-up guarantees three days of the nastiest dubstep, glitch-hop, hip-hop, and house. French YouTube mash-up star Madeon will be making one of his debut performances in the United States. Dillon Francis and Figure will be bringing in the exclusive new moombahton bangers in complement to their electro/fidget and dubstep roots (and a lot of drumstep in the case of Figure). Big Gigantic will represent the ever so common saxophone-with-live-EDM format. Underground glitch genius Dave Tipper will most likely be the favorite of anybody who’s had the pleasure of hearing him before. Porter Robinson, the 19- or 20- year-old electro house front-runner who’s been touring with Tiesto, will bring his sound to the Lake. “Community” TV star Donald Glover will be there as his rap alter ego, Childish Gambino. Also on the bill is Datsik, who was recently able to collab with the person who got him into bass music in the first place: Bassnectar. Bassnectar will be headlining the show alongside Pretty Lights, Thievery Corporation, and The Glitch Mob.
Check out the rest of the line-up here because the few artists I’ve mentioned hardly covers it.

“This week we kindly welcome homeskillet Danny Weird to get a little strange for us. Tune in to vibe out to the glitch hop goodness that has become a staple of his Bay Area appearances.” -joseph
Adrian Fox Haskell of Morgan Hill, CA, has been puttin’ his heart and soul into the Bay Area’s EDM scene by 1) co-founding Blockhead Entertainment and throwing underground gatherings in the Santa Cruz Mountains and 2) refining his music production skills so he can start changing the world one twitch and one smack at a time.
That being said, show some love by melting your brain to this twitchy, smacky, exuberantly dark minimal track by A-Fox:
The music-sphere is occasionally graced by a talent not only sought after and loved by fans, but respected and feared by colleagues and competition. Wether you like em’ or don’t care, these acts do their thing in a style and manner that is all their own. Daft Punk, Skream, Starkey, Chromeo, Burial, Jack Beats, Flying Lotus, these are all “producers’ producers” (pardon my simple terms). They have such unique sounds that almost no matter who you are, you have got to give them props. Recently a young Los Angeles export has set up shop in the greater San Francisco area and the music he has been making across the soundscape has received almost nothing but praise from some of the biggest names.
We first ran into Supreme when he hosted a Save Sunday, but since then the boy has gone crazy. Dropping an official remix for UK dubstep icon Dream is the most recent of his accomplishments on a long roster of feats including tours in Australia and the United States (Sydney, Brisbane, Denver, San Francisco). A top charting debut EP entitled Grimey rounds off just a few of the reasons why you should keep an ear and eye out for this local badman. Catch him lurking around, leveling clubs throughout the Bay.
When we last left two of our favorite musical mighty kids they could be found blowing up San Francisco venues, selling their own brand of twerked dubstep and broken beats. As we return our attention to K Theory we see a brand new monster. Boasting an even chunkier arsenal of original remixes and productions, this pair of American musicians have stacked a sizable list of proper EDM superstars they have supported in the last year. Sharing the bill with the likes of Feed Me, Avicii, Trolley Snatcha, Dirtyphonics & 12th Planet, it is no wonder the duo has a chart topping EP out on Beatport right now (Last time I checked, their single 18th Century Gangster was sitting nice & pretty at #2 on the Beatport Top 100 Glitch Hop charts). Catch up with the rowdy, bass bombardiers as they take 2012 by storm with scheduled performances alongside giants Dada Life & Nero. Expect a slew of top notch releases and remix works accompanied by the boys growing reputation for blood pumping performances.
We present two of the freshest K Theory projects, a free for all bootleg of Bay Area favorites The M Machine in company with an unreleased remix by Muffler soon to be dropped on Bass=Win Records. Listen, rinse, repost, repeat!
A line has been crossed, one of my favorite weekly bump and grind fest’s has brought my focus for the week to a screeching halt. All I can think about is seeing two of my EDM heroes throw down shredding sets for what will be a steaming, packed night at 715 Harrison Street, home of EPR.
First up we have Brazilian complextro maestros, Darth & Vader; almost never seen in the United States, the duo will be making a stop to brand SF with their own style of in your face, high-tempo, electro assaults. With a heavy stockpile of remixes & original productions you can count on breaking it down from the start of their set till the end, when a club music legend will take the decks bringing everyone with him on a banging, bouncy ride.
The Brookyln bass bad boy AC Slater will be up next, gracing all of us with his signature blend of bassline, fidget, and most likely some dubstep. I promise you it will definitely be very, very sexy as the Trouble & Bass record don always delivers.
To round it off, I will supporting my idols with a performance earlier in the night as Robot Mafia. Stop by, bring a friend, do something questionable in the shadows of a club. Here are a few mixes if you can’t wait to boogie.
