Right from where they last left off, that fateful Sunday night--two months ago, in a steamy basement packed full of San Francisco's night time dancers--young and old, Honey Soundsystem returns with the next installment of Mineshaft on March 23rd 2008 at the basement of 103 Harriet St. Last time they took you on a journey through SF's Hi-NRG past where they revealed a large cache of records from Megatone owner John Hedge's personal collection. This time Honey Soundsystem presents Dancer from the Dance, a party based on Andrew Holleran's famous novel.

A haunting night of romance and decadence in the fast lanes of gay society with special guests Jeffrey Sfire from Brooklyn and SF's newest dj/producer transplant Steve Summers. No honey night would be complete without their custom installations and décor as well as a performance. Salad Gold Dancer - Khadijah (House of Salad) will dazzle the audience with a Dancer from the Dance show at midnight.

Bios:

Jeffrey Sfire

Jeffrey Sfire's introduction to the underground dance scene and illegal warehouse parties of Detroit occurred at the age of 15. This escape from suburban high society led him to some of the city's most talented DJs and musicians, who soon exposed him to a new culture of creative riches. Learning by example, Sfire's taste and skills as a DJ developed naturally

and he soon began playing out at parties, clubs and sleazy gay afterhours, usually entering covertly through back doors or with a fake ID.

At the age of 18, a move to Chicago exposed Sfire to a whole other side of dance music history, including the Italo Disco and High Energy sounds of the 1980s. He spent afternoons digging through record store crates, meeting retired DJs and developing his musical palette. Having held numerous club residencies, he regularly plays in LA, Detroit, Chicago, and New York, consistently offering a finely-tuned selection of Italo Disco, 80's High Energy, New Disco and Electro.
