Friday, January 18th 9pm-2am FlirtyFlirty Presents a special VIP Event at Slide Featuring: DJ Solomon www.djsolomon.net Playing Mash-ups and House We are happy to announce the start of our newest monthly event, every third Friday, at Slide! DJ Solomon Bio: Solomon isn't your everyday magician. He doesn't know how to pull a white rabbit out of a hat or your 6 of Clubs from the deck. But what the Bay Area-based music wizard can do is ELEVATE you on the dance floor. This was clear from the time of his first gig in '89, when he used nothing more than a tape deck and cd player to transform a middle school prom into a raging pre-adolescent night club that terrified the chaperones. Ever since, he's spread his innovative sound in clubs from here to China. Solomon's specialty is something he always called "Pop Turntablism." It's a niche of music that fuses scratching, beat juggling, word play, and live remixing with an eclectic mix of funk, soul, hip hop and rock tracks. It's an emerging genre now popularly known as "Mashup." And within this community, Solomon shines. As a producer, he was among an elite group of djs and producers comprising the Crooklyn Clan Vault. The website has become one of the main distribution hubs for dj mashups and has become an invaluable tool for promoting Solomon's unique and original production sound. His musical stylings have captured the imagination of some of today's biggest music stars and he's recently performed with The Black Eyed Peas, Digital Underground, De La Soul, Ozomotli, Groove Collective, Jurassic 5, Lyrics Born, Patti Labelle, DJ AM and Dan the Automator - just to name a few. And naturally, he's caught the eye of club promoters everywhere. Solomon has residencies all over the Western US. From San Fran to Sacto, San Diego to Scottsdale. And last year, he teamed up with singer/songwriter Chris Clouse for an insanely popular Thursday night show at the Hard Rock Hotel. The LV Weekly raved that it was "Vegas' Best Kept Secret." They've brought the party back to SF where they tear down the walls every Wednesday night at the super chic subterranean lounge, Slide. Solomon also has been the Golden State Warriors' resident dj for the past seven years, responsible for elevating the fans' spirits when the team sinks to new lows. Sounds like a job for a magician indeed. About Slide: Slide is modern and sophisticated but is also reminiscent of the age of gangsters, flappers and bootleg revelry of years past. Outfitted in over 8,000 square feet of mahogany, Slide features a honey-onyx backlit bar, custom brown and blue hardwood floors, pillowed porcelain bathroom walls and copper accents. Booth seating in chocolate brown and baby blue are available for Bottle Service. A baby grand piano (a la prohibition circa 1920's) has been stylized into a modern dj system. Table reservations are recommended. Please call 415.421.1916 Dress code enforced. Slide 430 Mason St. San Francisco, CA 94102 www.slidesf.com
