We would like to thank ERRRYONE who's participated, worked-with, shout-out'ed, big up'd, thrown down, t-shirted, fallen off stage, bled, daggered, tickled, hooked-up, high-fived, fist-pounded, back slapped, chest-bumped, MC'd, 2-stepped, ...collaborated, back-spinned, paid the cover, guestlisted, shown up, walk-of-shamed, ate, live-streamed, debuted, ass-shook, juked, downloaded, danced, and sweat at our events. We couldn't have done it without you.
Some pix from last year... featuring TophOne, Vin Sol, Mike the 2600 King, DJ B.Cause, and White Girl Lust.
Seconds away from the end of the beginning is surreal. This year, some of us got hit hard while others were tremendously fortunate. X means ten and so the new dance is crossing forearms. Sister cities, new friends, solid chumps and moving on.
GoldSweat the 'blogspot' may function sporadically, as something we haven't decided yet, but most of the content we will publish will be in our new apartment downtown. I kinda like the gentlemen/dunce look of this website, so some of us may live vicariously through its 'we absolutely don't give a fuck' persona. Plus, its white. BellyUp dead lifts without a backbrace and I play video games standing up with my mouth closed.
All the links should still be live, so if you're using it as a reference map into our clothes, contact us. We like talking! Otherwise, enjoy everything here and at our penthouse.
Download / Listen 5Signs Podcast Vol.1 Recorded live @ The Watermelon Studios
Foniks has been a part of GoldSweat since our inception. Fine arts and studio production are synonymous as cooking and gardening, of which he excels at through necessity amongst habit. I'm not jockin' him or nothin', I'm just saying the TLab Instore showcase this crew pulled together was phenom. Since, all artists have excelled at staying true, real, or not. Nevertheless, word to your moms. This is why there really are only 5Signs. Beats be franklin, bitch. Peep the vid. See ya Saturday.
\\\Words from Foniks: I'm sending this to all of you since I think you'll enjoy it (assuming you like beats, downtempo, hip hop, electronic, experimental, etc.). It's our first one, so there's a couple kinks, but we'll be tightening the screws on the next one... it's recorded live folks! Pass it along to friends, it's FREE to download and distribute at will. The 5Signs is a 5 man production crew in Los Angeles with individual styles and a form-like-Voltron group mentality when it comes to getting business done.
If you're up in the Bay, you can cop our 12" @ Amoeba SF/Berkeley, Rasputing Berkeley, and Streetlight in San Jose. If you're in LA, you can go to Amoeba in Hollywood, Poo-Bahs in Pasadena, or Origami Vinyl in Echo Park.
If you're in the LA area, Foniks will be performing along side Abstract Butter Fingaz and Alcendor THIS TUESDAY @ Grandstar in Chinatown. 943 N. Broadway, LA, CA.
This month we went viral and decided to fall off. Not the deep end. Not off a cliff. Shit, not even off our beds. But off the LOW END! We're bringing back our favorite wax fiend DJ Enki (Oakland Faders / Lower Haters) and Eagle Rock medicinal user, Foniks (5Sgins / GoldSweatLA) to dip us in that disco sweat. Vinyl will melt, needles will break, gold will fall from the sky, and of course, master resident Sticky K will be backed by #2 on the bridge, Loco, so this Starship Enterprise is warp speed ahead!
Michael Harms aka Konnect is a GoldSweat board member, Bass-meant-level producer in all things heavy, and seasoned club kid from The Old Bay (Baltimore). Having single-handedly started every riot that has ensued at GoldSweat events, you can say he's got a price on his head. Good thing for us, our profit doubles when he makes his live debut sharing the decks with Master killer, Sticky K and Pance Party at our GoldSweat Sessions (Vol.2) at Infatuation. SF Club culture may be slowly sucking the life out of the mid-week club kid, but GoldSweat knows Vessel has one of the most major sound systems in the bay and we had to test it. We sent in Konnect to push it to twelve and the cold-bastard delivered. I don't care who you are, this tracklisting is so major I almost don't want to post it. But lurkers, haters, exes, and bassbins make us famous... For those of you that missed it, we've got more Old Bay Seasoning to powder that ass in Juicy bass this Saturday at our Second Saturday, Triple Crown. Be there or be a shape, get it?
Tracklisting: 1. Intro 2. Two Fresh – Bhanga (B Rich Rmx) 3. Top Billin’ – Playboy Anthem (Rico Tubbs VIP Mix)* 4. Kid Kenobi – Move that Body (Rico’s Speed Garage Mix) 5. Dope Tito – Take Me Away 6.

DJ Ayres & The Rub hold a special place in every one's hearts. Atlanta Dubstep has been bass lining the fringe and keeping the dirty dirty. EL Bar & GoldSweat have been sailing under Captain Crunk for half a year, pillaging, dipping, sharing our plate. Hump days in the winter are for couples and pairs, cause its too hard to stay warm alone. Free = Drinks and the ride home on the realness. Get your whale on.

There's a shitload going on over at the GoldSweat HQ and this Saturday we're throwing a disco at the Triple Crown. Platform slayers DJ Enki & Foniks, our west coast cousin's still melting vinyl into breakfast bowls, will be gracing the decks along side myself and Stiiiiiiicccckkkkkkkkyyyyyy. No curtions necessary this month, the windows'll be fogged over like a Lover's Point. But first, my personal go-to morning-wood label with a jackin'-ass favorites will be on tour starting now. Rok Bar in Miami, Love in NYC, Beauty Bar in Austin, and The Roxy in Hollywood. 4 dates, 1 week, the west coast can't afford to miss this. I'm personally debating about blasting into Burbank and calling in sick. You can't beat free, you can't beat this sound, you can't beat the lineup, you can't beat the supporting roster, and you can't be me. Oh yeah, a few of these chaps have some label love for our boy Sticky K (Dubsided). See ya Wednesday. See ya Saturday.
Vessel brings us back full force to start winter on the bay. Last time Udachi and Breakdown teamed up with Sticky to shake the leaves off that tree. This time, Konnect and PanceParty join the fight and we're looking to do some landscaping, feel me? Two-for-one's ringside. FreeBass. Free w/rsvp (direct link)! DVAS. Join Super Best Friends Club. Sticky K. Konnect. Pance Party. Loco. Fucking Philthy. Scarlet. Facebook Party Page GoldSweat Sessions (Vol.2) Hosted By: Philthy Rodriguez (SuperBestFriendsClub) & Scarlet (DVAS). Wednesday, December 2nd 2009. San Francisco, CA USA.
This mix is more or less a compilation of a bunch of 'sounds' I'm feeling at the moment... ranging from juke-dub, dub-step, bmore slayers & Diva anthems, GoldSweat bangers, and some head-nug bullshit. I guess you can say its kinda weird and un-orthodox, but sometimes you gotta get Loco to get it. The entire mix was created in one take using Serato + Mixer + 1 Turntable (my internal mode is on fire). I'll be playing on December 2nd with Sticky K, Pance Party, and Konnect at Infatuation's GoldSweat Sessions and then again at our 2nd Saturday at Triple Crown (December 12th).
GoldSweat announced Rico Tubbs OFFICIAL confirmation for our December party and now we're gonna hit you with our first ever world wide exclusive. Simply put, Rico wobbles the shit out of Top Billin's 'Playboy Anthem' (which was featured on Scions's Discobelle sampler a few months ago). The original was pure money shot and Rico flips the script like ass-to-mouth. GoldSweat shares the love with our extended family over at Rock It Science, so make sure you download twice!!! Get it while its hot cause you know with two crews reppin' it hard those download links won't last long!
GoldSweat horn blowers The WhatWhat! just dropped this in our inbox and Jesus Christ Superstar, I don't even remember dropping my panties and shaking my bare ass while ghost-riding my whip on Richmond Parkway until the cops flashed their lights and I ended up in the backseat with only my boots (don't you know I'm Loco?!?). Speaking of crazy, here's a few words from the Colonel MC about their Bashment sound:
"Like nothing you've hurrrd before, The WhatWhat! pristinely mashes up bassline, dubstep, dnb and a bunch of other shit, slaps a psychotic MC on top of it and totally wrecks shop. Bashment style, like they said back in the day. This mix was recorded live in 2 takes and it comes about as close as you can get to catching the party on tape." ~ Truer words have never been spoken.
Included in the mix is original music from THREE GoldSweat artists: Sticky K, The What What, and our newest addition, SLOPPY (yeeee!). The WhatWhat! is DJ Big Sounds and the Colonel MC, two yay-area bassheads who are 5,000% GoldSweat Family (along with dudes like Sticky K, BUL!M!ATRON, and Captain Crunk). They play this Saturday, November 14th, with Sticky K, Breakdown (LA), and GoldSweat creative mastermind Belly Up down at the Triple Crown.
Yeah, thats right. GoldSweat goes off like fresh out the pen. Trice this month means 2 more chances to get laid; 2 more chances to get paid; 2 more chances to get made. Our nationality covers both coasts and whole lot of dirty dirty, so make sure you check us out!
Goldsweat is based on a commitment to un-apologetically push the newest, most engaging sounds within our reach. We aspire to maintain a Gold-Standard when it come to holding consistent and memorable events, influencing the musical landscape, and breathing new life into dance culture. Two thousand mine has been the sub-header for GoldSweat as we've adopted a slew of brand new producers, DJs, friends, and memorable events on a consistent level, spoiling us from disappointment and encouraging us to continue moving forward.
If you haven't copp'd a GoldSweat t-shirt yet, hurry up! They made their back-sweat debut at GoldSweat October with the Super Best Friends Club takeover and have been gathering pit stains since. Two options to choose from; GoldSweat's official logo on white American Apparel or AMF Blue on asphalt American Apparel. Get'em while they're hott, they won't last much longer!
*Here's Konnect and 1/3 of Pance Party showing some super excitement for the AMF Blue on Asphalt.
In equally exciting news, GoldSweat is proud to present our newest and most exciting venture into future club music: GoldSweat Baltimore. Headlining the debeut event is none other than Udachi (Trouble & Bass / Nightshifters, NYC). He's so amped on playing for GoldSweat (again!!!), he posted it on his website (HERE). Also on the bill is Krames (as in Cobra Krames you dummy!), Jackie O, Kosta, and the one like Illy Emcee. I don't know if you know yet, but we're pretty much blowing our wads one month at a time. Speaking of clean-up towels, GoldSweat goes major 3 times in November!
TONIGHT 10/30: GOLDSWEAT GOES ZOMBIE - TEMPLE SF (free w/rsvp to eric@rockitsciencesf.com). Konnect makes his GoldSweat sound debut, BellyUp showcases his zombie slayer skills, and Loco DJ's drunk with a mask on.
GoldSweat head honcho's Konnect, BellyUp, and JustLoco will be holding it down in the Destiny Lounge THIS Friday at TempleSF. Last we hosted, the white room went technicolor, headliners got shitfaced, we blew out equipment, and woke up the next morning at my kitchen table surrounded by Mike's Hard Lemonaide and half-eaten hot pockets. Its also the night before Halloween official, so beta run those costumes and get in free with rsvp to: ericsharp@rockitsciencesf.com
