STOP LOOKING AT THIS WEBSITE!!

Alright, we admit it. We’ve been awful at updating this blog/website/whatever, so we’re throwing in the towel. Not on the party, of course – we’re still going strong every 4th Saturday at 222 Hyde in San Francisco – we’re just abandoning ship on this little web outpost. As far as we can tell, hardly anyone is looking at it anyways. Don’t get us wrong, that doesn’t mean we’re not active on the web – there are all sorts of ways to find out what we’re up to and multiple places where you can read our witty banter, listen to exclusive mixes, and find out when the next party is happening. For your convenience, we’ve laid them all out for you.

WE HAVE GIRL UNIT! AUGUST 28 WUT?

Please join the ICEE HOT crew in welcoming GIRL UNIT to his first ever SF appearance! If you’ve been to any of our parties in the past few months, chances are you have lost your shit to one of Girl Unit’s tunes. His “IRL” EP on Night Slugs Records was an instant classic, and signaled a shift in UK dance music, incorporating Chicago juke, footwork, crunk, grime, and funky house in a unique forward-thinking manner. Expect some truly futuristic shit from him on this night at 222. As always, ICEE HOT resident rudeboys Rollie Fingers, Ghosts On Tape, and Disco Shawn will be holding it down with all the latest and greatest house, bass, funky, garage, pizza-step tunes you can handle. ONLY $5 ALL NIGHT! FREE B4 11:00 IF YOU RSVP WITH YOUR NAME TO ICEEHOTRSVP@GMAIL.COM. MAXIMUM OF PLUS 2 PLEASE!! THANK YOU.

RSVP by email but Let us know you are coming on Facebook too!

THE SF DEBUT OF HOUSE LEGEND TODD EDWARDS

Please join the ICEE HOT team in welcoming an all-time HOUSE MUSIC LEGEND to his San Francisco DEBUT! It’s hard to believe, for a man who has been putting out records for over 15 years, that Todd Edwards has never played here, but it’s true. The New Jersey based producer is widely credited with innovating the ‘cut-up’ vocal sampling style, and was a HUGE influence on the UK garage scene. He’s put out so many tracks on so many labels, and done so many remixes it would take all day to list them off. We are so beyond stoked for this event! And of course, your ICEE HOT resident soundbwoys Ghosts On Tape, Disco Shawn, and Rollie Fingers will be bringing you all the latest and greatest in house, garage, UK funky, 2-step, and tropical bass heat to get you open. DO NOT MISS THIS!!!!

THIS EVENT IS ONLY $10 BUT IF YOU WANT TO GET IN FOR $5, THEN SEND US AN EMAIL TO ICEEHOTRSVP@GMAIL.COM AND THEN SHOW UP BEFORE 10:30. LIMIT EACH REQUEST TO PLUS 2 PLEASE! IF YOU HAVE MORE HOMIES THAT WANT TO BE ON THE $5 LIST, THEY SHOULD EMAIL SEPARATELY.

MOSCA FLIES OUT FOR JUNE

Another SF (and US) premiere at ICEE HOT this month! This time we welcome MOSCA from London to mash up the dance at 222 Hyde. His Square One EP on the Night Slugs label drew mad love from the worlds top selectahs and better DJs across the planet. Backed by remixes from Roska, Bok Bok, L-Vis 1990, Greena, and Julio Bashmore, every track on the EP is essential, including the 10 minute club anthem “Nike.” The man stands at the forefront of modern club music and we are super excited to hear his special blend of funky, grime, and bashment styles. And of course residnt badmans Ghosts On Tape, Low Limit, and Disco Shawn will be burning down the dancehall with an upfront selection of funky, house, bass, garage, whatever-you-call-it. Sadly, resident Rollie Fingers will be out of town for this event.

IMPORTANT! IF YOU WANNA GET IN FREE, SEND US AN EMAIL WITH YOUR NAME TO ICEEHOTRSVP@GMAIL.COM AND THEN SHOW UP BEFORE 11. WE SWEAR WE WON’T GIVE AWAY YOUR EMAIL OR SPAM YOU. OTHERWISE ITS STILL THE HOTTEST DEAL IN TOWN FOR ONLY FIVE DOLLARS!

Rollie Fingers Mini-Mix for the SF Weekly

Earlier this week, local rag the SF Weekly, who we’re still loving for that “Best New Club Night” award, asked our very own Rollie Fingers to put together a little DJ mix for their website. They also posted this photo of him wearing a purse in front of the Taj Mahal and asked him to write a something about each of the songs in the mix. Check out the tracklist and what he had to say here, and give the mix a listen below. Also, don’t forget to see Rollie and the rest of the Icee Hot gang tomorrow night at our special “Double Up” edition of the party with Ikonika and Shortstuff!!!

ICEE HOT DOUBLE UP 2.0 (NEWER VERSION)

The flyer for ICEE HOT’s DOUBLE UP EDITION is finally here. Double the ICEE, Double the Guests. We are so proud to present IKONIKA for the very first time in SF and we are proud to be doubling up with our boy SHORTSTUFF for his second SF appearance with us. Sadly, our very own jetsetting playboy LOW LIMIT will be freaking the world out LAZER SWORD style, and will not be with us. Some Day, LL, some day…

Please note the one-night-only venue change to PARADISE LOUNGE in SF. (Our regular home is still at 222 Hyde.) See you there!!

NGUZUNGUZU Icee Hot Mix May 2010

We know folks are already hyped about LA duo NGUZUNGUZU making the trip up the coast this Saturday to headline Icee Hot, but now we’re worried there might be a riot at the door after people hear this mix. We expected the Nguzus to put something special together, but FUUUUUUUUUCK this is good… AND it’s loaded with exclusive tunes. Want to hear the new beats they’ve been cooking up along with some tropical outer-space kuduro, funana, and who knows what else? Then do yourself a favor and listen to this mix as soon as you can. And then get yourself down to 222 Hyde this Saturday and check out their DJ stylings in person.

Icee Hot Named “Best New Club Night” by the SF Weekly

Earlier today, local rag the SF Weekly released its Best of San Francisco 2010 issue and named Icee Hot the “Best New Club Night” in the city. Big thanks to the Weekly for the props. We promise not to let the victory go to our heads, although we are going to demand that everyone refer to us from now on as “The Award-Winning Icee Hot.” That’s cool, right?

Shortstuff Added to Special Double-Up Edition of Icee Hot; Date and Venue Changed Too

We know that everyone is prepping their game for this Saturday’s Icee Hot blowout with Nguzunguzu, but we have a couple of quick programming notes for our special upcoming mini-massive with Ikonika.

First of all, there has been a small change to the date and venue. The party is now happening on THURSDAY, JUNE 3 at PARADISE LOUNGE.

Second of all, we realized that while Ikonika was going to fill the evening’s badgyal quotient, the party needed an extra dose of badmanism. So we’ve invited our pal Shortstuff – who you may remember from our March party or the amazing promo mix he did for us – to round out the bill.

A new flyer is in the works, but mark your calendars in the meantime. ICEE HOT + IKONIKA + SHORTSTUFF = LARGENESS ON JUNE 3.

ICEE HOT SPECIAL DOUBLE UP EDITION WITH IKONIKA JUNE 2

ICEE HOT is proud to present IKONIKA in her first ever San Francisco appearance! She is quickly becoming a fixture in the UK underground bass music scene, with releases and remixes on highly esteemed labels such as Hyperdub, Planet Mu, Warp, Ramp, and Night Slugs, as well as appearances on London’s legendary Rinse FM. ICEE HOT resident badmans Disco Shawn, Ghosts on Tape, Low Limit, and Rollie Fingers will be there rinsing out the usual obscure bass anthems and funky future classics. $5 before 11, $7 after.

Ikonika’s debut album Contact, Love, Want, Have is out now on Hyperdub.
