THURSDAY: LEE VILENSKY TRIO
Lee Vilensky Trio has no interest in lyrics. Words, in their estimation, get in the way — of feeling, of groove, of whatever it is music is actually trying to say. Formed in 2000 from the remains of the Swingin' Johnsons, the band made the switch to all-instrumentals early on (partly philosophical, partly due to the unpredictable behavior and general unsavory appearance of most vocalists). What started as a side project for well-traveled Bay Area sidemen has grown into one of SF's most beloved instrumental acts and the self-declared founders of the West Coast Spy/Soul movement. Groove and feel, melody and harmony — unencumbered, unapologetic, and blessedly word-free.
FRIDAY: CSHAY
CShay is an independent DJ and producer known for blending hard-hitting variety music with high-energy, open-format mixing, meant for moving.
Behind the decks, CShay brings a dynamic, genre-fluid approach—mixing hip-hop, house, moombahton, and many more. His sets lean into mashup-style energy and keeping momentum high without overcomplicating the mix.
Whether producing or performing, CShay’s style is built around control, impact, and constant motion.

THURSDAY: AJB & THE SOUL ASCENSION
Step into a late-night soundscape with AJB & The Soul Ascension Band.
Warm grooves, intimate swing, and slow-burning energy set the mood from the first note.
Two curated sets lead into an after-hours session where the night deepens and the music opens up.
For lovers, listeners, and night people.
The name started as a joke between friends — a nod to John Brown the Abolitionist — but Alias John Brown turned it into something earned. From Chicago's underground scene to the Bay Area's stages, AJB has built a catalog (For the Non-Believers, The American Nightmare H1N1, Retribution) and a live reputation — sharing stages with Wu-Tang, E-40, Tech N9ne, Hopsin, Twista, and Andre Nickatina — rooted in authenticity and relentless craft. He doesn't perform hip-hop. He lives it.

SATURDAY: JEAN SOMA
Hailing from San Diego and now rooted in San Francisco, JEAN SOMA is a music producer and DJ dedicated to the evolution of house and techno. A military veteran, he brings discipline and precision to his craft — channeling that same focus into the raw, creative energy of the underground.
His journey began in the underground clubs of Southern California, where the pulsating rhythms of house and techno ignited a lifelong passion. That foundation, combined with San Francisco's vibrant electronic music culture, shaped a sound built on hypnotic grooves, driving basslines, and forward-thinking production.
For JEAN SOMA, house and techno are more than genres — they're a movement. A way to connect people, push boundaries, and shape the future of dance music. Every set and every production reflects that vision: deep, soulful, and built for the dance floor.
FRIDAY: DONALD GLAUDE & FRIENDS
SWIG PRESENTS: HOT WAX
A west coast house music reunion worth clearing your calendar for.
Donald Glaude is a pioneer of American house music — a Tacoma-born, SF-forged force who helped define the sound of the West Coast alongside Funky Tekno Tribe and DJ Dan through the 90s. Known for his raw energy, deep bass grooves, and an electric connection with every crowd he plays for.
DJ Denise has been a fixture of the SF underground since the late 90s — a technically precise, deeply soulful selector with roots in the city's legendary massive era. Label founder, producer, and one of the scene's most quietly essential voices.
DJ No One rounds out the night.
All vinyl. All night. No cover. 9PM–2AM · Swig Art & Music Bar · 561 Geary
