Go BANG!
ATOMIC DANCEFLOOR DISCO ACTION!

San Francisco has a diverse disco scene that often crosses over but not often enough! The goal of Go BANG! is to bring the crews and their devoted dancers together in a mixed, diverse, exciting environment, with a nod to the diversity and freedom of the 70's/80's San Francisco/New York/Chicago disco nightlife!

Disco freaks, art school boys & girls, drag queens & kings, boogie-heads, fierce dancers, flashy dressers, sexy girls, hot boys, DJs, dancers, photographers, artists, fashionistas; gay/straight/bi/tri/whateva! Bring your flashiest, trashiest, classiest, sexiest, craziest style; but bring an open mind, big smile, and shoes that will allow you to dance from opening to last call! We will start with fire and end with fire!

Taking inspiration from the classic Dinosaur L. song
"I wanna see all my friends at once
I'll do anything to get a chance to
Goooo BANG!"

**Special Guest: DJ Said (Fatsouls Records, We & The Music)

DJ Said of Fatsouls Records has brought a soulful African brand of percussion-based deep house to a distinct slice of the underground in San Francisco. Said has spun at his Atmosfere events and many other clubs around the world alongside the likes of Francois K, Joe Claussell, Danny Krivit, Kenny Carpenter, Miguel Migs and countless others. His original productions have been released on many an influential label including Ibadan, Chez & Wave Music. His main influence is derived from Afrobeat, Highlife Jazz, Juju, and other music from his Yoruba root and numerous global music which he absorbed during his formative years. As a teenager, Said sorted after his sibling’s extraordinary musical interests and record collection. During this period he recalls hearing American Disco (one of his favorites - T-Connection's "Saturday Night") in addition to regional Nigerian disco acts. In 1984, Said moved from his hometown Lagos, Nigeria to England as a scholar. While in England, he gained a vast knowledge of the London club scene through direct experience and connections. Said currently heads Fatsouls Records, a San Francisco-based independent record label founded in 2007. Said currently promotes “We & The Music” a monthly event with emphasis on House, Afrobeat and other Soulful Afro - Rhythms. He is excited to be able to present some of his favorite & influential disco stompers at this month's Go BANG!
