About the DJs:
Green Velvet (Relief Records, Cajual - Chicago)
Few artists have the ability to produce timeless music that can cross genre barriers and be enjoyed by listeners with diverse musical interests. Green Velvet is one of these few. Producing under the Green Velvet moniker as well as his alter ego Cajmere, Curtis A. Jones has released a steady stream of dance floor aimed tracks since 1991. His discography boasts many impressive contributions to dance music: Flash, Answering Machine, (It's Time For) The Percolator, La La Land, Shake & Pop and many others. Curtis' ear for great music put him at the forefront of two seminal labels in Chicago: Cajual Records and Relief Records. These labels hosted his original works as well as other renowned artists such as Armand Van Helden, DJ Sneak, Dajae, Johnny Fiasco, Roy Davis Jr., Mark Grant, Gene Farris and more. Green Velvet is usually found traveling across the globe to perform at festivals and huge clubs but June 20th he will make a rare West Coast appearance at Mezzanine, playing a DJ set while singing some of his original works.

Green Velvet & Designer Drugs
Mezzanine, Rock It Science and Prismatic are proud to announce a
rare SF appearance and debut
Mezzanine performance of the one and only Green Velvet, one of dance music's legendary
figures. Green Velvet's labels Cajual and Relief have had a major
impact on electronic music, and he has produced huge tracks such as
The Percolator, La La Land, and Shake & Pop since the beginning of the rave scene with no sign of slowing down
today. Green Velvet will be joined by Designer Drugs, one of the
hottest up and coming acts in the United States signed to LA
electro stalwart iHeartcomix Records. The pairing of these
two headliners - spanning old school and new school - is a
combination that one does not get the opportunity to experience
every weekend, backed up by some of the top local talent SF has to
offer: Richie Panic of Blow Up throwing down a special birthday
set, Rock It Science founder and Flavor Group resident DJ Eric
Sharp, and Prismatic founder Andrew Phelan.
