The Brooklyn Circus SF 5YR BLOCK PARTY CELEBRATION!!

The Brooklyn Circus SF 5YR BLOCK PARTY CELEBRATION!!
In 5 just days (July 6th & 7th) marks the weekend we opened The Brooklyn Circus San Francisco shop. We strategically chose this weekend because it also marks the Famous Annual Fillmore Jazz Festival — “The Largest Free Jazz Festival on the West Coast.” What started as just having a few Live Dj’s playing music in front of the shop has turned into a Full-On Festive Brooklyn-Style Block Party! Gabe the Great proclaims it as The Brooklyn Circus’ best event all year!
Last year in addition to our local SF Heavy Hitters Dj D-Sharp & DJ King Most, we also brought out Surprise Special Guest Ali Shaheed Muhammed to bring that authentic Brooklyn touch. This year we’re holding no punches! The Bearded Man and NYC’s Dj Lyte have been in the lab working on a bigger and better show to ensure you experience a Block Party like no other. To start it off right, we’ve added a unique musical duo with upRight Bassist David Arrend & Dj HeyLove for a special set on Saturday morning– Don’t miss it! Dj D-Sharp will be sure to take you on a Summer music mix that will make sure you’re reminded where you’re at, THE BROOKLYN CIRCUS SF 5YR ANNIVERSARY BLOCK PARTY! And to take it over the top, The Bearded Man will join JAY-Z’s Official DJ YOUNG GURU to give you a musical experience you wont forget! So to our out-of-towners if you haven’t done it yet Book your flights to San Francisco now! To our Cali-residents, we will see you there!
The Fun doesn’t stop there, in addition to the musical excitement, we will have lots of exciting things happening in shop as well. We will be transforming the shop into the PF POP SHOP with new PF Flyer styles & a Limited Edition “Fillmore Champs” collaboration T-shirt. And ofcourse the shop will be filled with All New SF Anniversary products including the T-shirt Contest winning design! Follow us on Instagram for the latest & greatest.

OPEN BAR FOR THE FIRST HOUR

Revered as “The Sound of New York,” Gimel Keaton, better known as Young Guru possesses over a decade of experience in sound engineering, production, and A&R for the acclaimed Rock-A-Fella Records and Def Jam Recordings. As a Grammy Award winner for best rap song “Empire State of Mind” (2009), Young Guru has worked alongside legendary artists Jay-Z and Kanye West. Most notably recognized for shaping some of the biggest talent in Hip Hop, Young Guru has mixed 10 of Jay-Z’s 11 albums, appeared in his documentary NY-Z, and has earned himself a number of shout- outs on Jay-Z’s tracks paying homage to Guru’s exceptional skill set behind the scenes.

Young Guru’s latest break-through has been his recent appointment as Jay-Z’s official tour DJ. An endeavor well suited for the Guru considering his impeccable knowledge of Jay-Z’s discography, not to mention their longstanding professional and personal relationship dating back to 1999 after Jay-Z recruited the young engineer to mix at his Baseline Studios. A beast on the beats, DJing is just another notch in the Guru’s belt as he’s been throwing parties in his Delaware hometown since 1985 and even toured as DJ for Nonchalant back in 1996. Spanning across many diverse genres including early Hip hop, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Electro, House and Soul, Guru’s high energy DJ sets are aimed to keep Hip hop represented in the live performances through beat mixing, matching and scratching.
