WHO WERE THE WINNERS? WHO WERE THE BEST DRESSED ON THE
RED CARPET?
THIS SATURDAY
4 Major Nightlife Organizations Unite
for the Greater Good of Dancekind
ABOUT BESO
BESO Events came to existence because four San Francisco nightlife
organizations (Latinos O Morir, DonovanSF, Christian Presents, and Jaffe
Events), each with founders of Latin decent (Guatemalan, Nicaraguan,
Argentinean, and Venezuelan respectively), saw the need for unique
nightlife events incorporating dance music with live musicians spiced
with Latin flavor. Latin music has universal appeal to music listeners
and dance enthusiasts of all ethnicities. The idea is simple: produce
unprecedented events with the finest nightclub DJs accompanied by the
most talented Latin singers, flamenco guitarists, trumpeters, timbales
players, and salsa, merengue, flamenco, and tango dancers. Whether you
are Black or White, Asian, Middle-Eastern, or Latin, the sexy sound &
passionate vibe of BESO will appeal & unify all people as one on the
dancefloor. BESO is for anyone who loves to shake their hips, even
those who don't know yet. It’s Latin-Flavored Live Entertainment &
Dance Music for Everyone.
ABOUT PALENKE SOULTRIBE
From
the happy and turbulent country of Columbia, Palenke Soultribe unwraps a
ton of folkloric beats to mix them up with intoxicating dance rhythms.
A groovy journey that crosses fields of house music and breakbeats all
fed by the humanized impact of real hands on real drums.
Tearing up the LA, New York & Miami party scene in 2009, music press
have been raving about the Palenke sound as "an exploration of the
Afro-Colombian connection with an electronic vibe". Their live
shows are not to be missed as Palenke's objective is to recreate the
festive vibe of a Columbian Carnival, getting people out of their
chairs, screaming & dancing on their tables, in complete organized
chaos. Palenke Soultribe was just recently nominated for "Best
Dance / Electronica Album of the Year" at the Independent Music Awards
2010.

HOTEL PARTIES
Thank you to the 1000+ sexy masqueraders that came out last Saturday to
create one of the sexiest & most magical nightlife creations of my
professional career. I was blown away by how many people supported
our "mask theme" and dawned their own "original" Venetian masks, many of
which were "authentic" masks from Italy. The evening was a
tremendous success and we've been flooded by emails and messages about
what an incredible time people had. "The San Francisco Venetian
Masquerade Ball" will definitely be an annual tradition and I
already have a million ideas of how we will take next year's 2nd Annual
to the next level. Thank you again for your support in making San
Francisco nightlife one of the most amazing & most incredibly unique
cities in the world to party!!!

The Infamous Haunted Ball 2008 Gallery That Never Was...
Buried Alive. Never
saw the light of day. Resurrected from the Dead.
These Haunted Photos are brought back to life for your carnal, sinful,
voyeuristic, guilty pleasures...
After almost 5 years since SEDUCTION II, Donovan delivered the most
highly anticipated CD release of his DJ career the day before
Valentine's Day. The purpose of the "Seduction" CD series is to
present a different side of electronica. A sensual & erotic side that
will "enhance" one's romantic, sensual & sexual experiences just like a
good Sade, Maxwell, D'Angelo or Prince CD. A lot of hard work,
blood, sweat & tears went into Donovan's 3rd installment of the
"Seduction" saga. Donovan takes a lot of pride in his CD mixes and
treats them like pieces of art. Seduction III sets new boundaries on the
art of mixology as Donovan showcases his ability to mix the natural
beats of "nature sounds" to electronic music. Over the past 5 years
since Seduction II was released, Donovan has collected some of the
sexiest records to put on his current album. We hope you and your lover
will enjoy the sensual musical journey Seduction III will lead your
mind, bodies & souls on.
Make Love, Not Hate.
