Sweater Funk

Sweater Funk is a weekly boogie, modern soul, stepper party that goes off every Sunday, right in the heart of Chinatown. The location is an undercover Chinese dive bar with sort of a secret basement that's been crudely converted to a dance floor with the help of a spinning party light, a bumping sound system, and a single clamp light behind the DJ booth. The space is sparse and purposeful, you come to Sweater Funk to dance to great music. With it's 13 member crew and growing, Sweater Funk DJ's throw down some of the rarest, funkiest, most soulful tracks you can find on the west coast. The only party comparable is Funkmosphere, Dam Funk's Monday night party located in LA, which is actually what inspired Jon Blunck to start SF in the first place.

Sweater Funk has been a long time favorite party of ours. In fact, it's partially what inspired Jordan and I to start Tres Lingerie, and probably half the reason why I moved out to San Francisco in the first place. And last weekend we had the distinguished pleasure of throwing down an hour and a half set at our favorite weekly party.

Here's the night (sorry about the distortion, the volume got cranked up throughout the night as the height of drunken demonification was reached)...
