Another live recording of DJ Michael Lee, from 1978. This was recorded at Buzzby's in San Francisco. From the Michael Lee tape archives.

Here's another radio commercial for an event that Rod Roderick produced in San Francisco, in 1989. A slice of San Francisco nightlife history! Rod Roderick was known as the David Mancuso of the West coast. he threw events in and around San Francisco, as well as parties at his Mansion in San Francisco. Dj Mike Jorba was spinning for this event.

Here's another great Mark Watkins mix. This is one of his early mixtapes. A mix of 80's Hi-NRG, pop dance, synth pop, disco, and new wave.

Recorded live at The Mind Shaft bar in San Francisco. From the Michael Lee tape archives.

A rip from my bootleg disco mixer vinyl collection. This one has quite a bit of classic 80's Hi-NRG tracks in it. Released in 1984.

Another mixtape from The Bolt bar in San Francisco. The Bolt was located in the same space that is currently The Powerhouse on Folsom Street, between 9th and 10th. If you were to step into The Bolt in 1976, this is the soundtrack you would have heard being played in the bar. A mix of rock, soul, and early disco. These bar tapes were made by Sanford Kellman (who later owned The I-Beam) and Mel Ford. It was a mixtape service for bars around San Francisco.

This is the early 80's Hi-NRG sound of San Francisco. The sound that moved me, and got me really interested in Hi-NRG dance music, and the records that the SF DJs were spinning at the time.

Beau Thompson was a DJ at the following bars/clubs in San Francisco. Castro Station Bar, The Phoenix, and he also played a little at The Trocadero Transfer.
