REAL BAD SOUND
Since 1989, REAL BAD has been bringing new and unique sounds to the San Francisco dance floor, year after year. We strive to craft a beautiful musical journey for our guests each year, offering a 3 part experience, starting with a joyous t-dance, moving into sexy, late night beats, and culminating in refreshing morning music. This special journey is our unique sound, and each year we bring in a DJ new to the San Francisco scene to give you their local take on that unique journey.
DJ FAWKS (SAN FRANCISCO)
REAL BAD 31 (UNDERGROUND)
Dedicated to cultivating an open and inclusive space through the collective he co-founded (Fog City Pack). He’s created a platform for himself and other queer electronic music artists to break free of the mainstream dance floor sounds. Playing a diverse array of sounds from future house and deep tech to proper techno. Fawks is taking dance floors by storm with his immaculate curations and highly stylized sound.
DJ SCOTT SHEPARD (SAN FRANCISCO)
REAL BAD XXIX (UNDERGROUND)
San Francisco’s own Scott Shepard was the Underground DJ from REAL BAD XXIX!
DJ SALAZAR (SAN FRANCISCO)
REAL BAD XXVIII (UNDERGROUND)
Born in Colombia, and a recent transplant from Miami, Florida, DJ Salazar brings a lustful, animalistic twist to his music, which speak to his audience’s libido. He brings this seductive sound to regular San Francisco residencies at Powerhouse, Eagle, Lookout as well as the infamous Hellbound party. Wherever he goes, Salazar seeks to keep his crowd dancing.
BRIAN MAIER (SAN FRANCISCO)
REAL BAD XXVII (UNDERGROUND)
Brian Maier, San Francisco’s own, will offer an alternative dance floor with music in the Underground. The soundscapes Brian creates typically blend old-style disco with present-day techno, and of course present some modern day vocals to get audiences engaged and enthralled. A mixture of instantly recognizable beats and melodies is often amplified by mixes and cuts which are re-crafted.
