Next NightLife - March 5th, 2009
 | DJ Malarkey This week's installment features DJ Malarkey, a Bay Area funk DJ who has pioneered a unique style of breaks he calls "nu-school funk". With the keen ability to ascend fluidly from early hour lounge-funk to peak-time breakbeat shakers, DJ Malarkey is quickly establishing himself as one of the most in-demand local DJs. He continuously studies electronic music while being heavily influenced by 70's jazz and funk, which shows in both his DJ sets and original material.
Please note: The Rainforests of the World exhibit will be closed for maintenance on March 5th. We apologize for the inconvenience. |
