In November of this year, Honey Soundsystem inherited a massive collection of rare disco records from legendary San Francisco DJ John Hedges. Many consider John to be San Francisco's Disco evangelist. He started in the early days of the scene at the Mind Shaft disco on Market Street he then moved on to The City Disco and was nicknamed Johnny Disco in the local press. Billboard magazine gave him their first best SF DJ award in 1976 and he went on to produce and remix Jo Lo, Lisa, Jo Carol Davidson and many more ("Jump Shout" by Lisa was a big hit for Moby Dick Records). Hedges ran Megatone Records, home to Patrick Cowley and Sylvester, and started San Francisco's first DJ Pool called BADDA (Bay Area Diso DJ Association). Hedges continues to hold a weekly residency at 440 Castro /Daddies until moving to Palm Springs in December. Before the move John invited the Honey Soundsystem DJ's over to his home (the former Megatone headquarters) to collect over 2000 records from his collection. Located directly below the former recording studio, was a goldmine of unsealed disco twelve inches from Megatone, Moby Dick, and Fantasy Records, and three boxes of unreleased Patrick Cowley material.

To commemorate this discovery, on Sunday December 16th Honey Soundsystem will present: Mineshaft at 103 Harriet Street located on 6th and Folsom in SOMA San Francsico. Paying homage to the hedonistic days of Gay disco Honey Soundsystem will play their favorites from the Megatone collection along with transforming the former site of the Sutro Bathouse--where in the early 80's a maze of hot tubs was buried beneath the main dance floor and a retractable ceiling provided sunbathing for it's Speedo clad patrons.

Honey Disc Jockeys Ken Vulsion, Pee Play, Jason Kendig, Robot Hustle, and Josh Cheon have spent the last several weeks cleaning and cataloging gems from Megatone, Fantasy, Moby Dick, West End, Razor Maid, Prelude, Casablanca, Sal-Soul, and many more. Expect a dance floor filled with hits from Patrick Cowley, Sylvester, Lisa, Chas Jankel, Musique, Cerrone, Patti Austin, and Two Tons of Fun. Descend into a night a fantasy world of menergy, sweat, and disco heights.

Honey Sounsystem's Dancer from the Dance (events » nightlife) Sunday, March 23, 2008 - 9:00 PM Dear Friends and Family of Honey Soundsystem,

Boy o boy have us boys been busy. Amongst playing a plethora of 2008's most interesting parties (Gemini Disco, Qool, Bearracuda, Blasthaus, MLQ getaway weekend, the Milk movie wrap party etc.) the Honey boys have been anxious to announce our next party. Possibly the first ever attempted dance floor adaptation of a gay novel, on Sunday March 23rd (Easter Sunday) Honey Soundsystem presents Dancer from the Dance.

"One of the most important works of gay literature, this haunting, brilliant novel is a seriocomic remembrance of things past--and still poignantly present. It depicts the adventures of Malone, a beautiful young man searching for love amid New York's emerging gay scene. From Manhattan's Everard Baths and after-hours discos to Fire Island's deserted parks and lavish orgies, Malone looks high and low for meaningful companionship."

On this night we pay homage to characters like Malone with our signature visual installations, classic sounds, and special guests.
