> Dear friends and family of Honey Soundsystem,
>
> This Sunday December 16th we cordially invite you to Mineshaft, a  
> basement disco party to commemorate the music and lives of the "San  
> Francisco Sound." In the late 1970's a group of disco dj's,  
> musicians, and dreamers came together to realize what would  
> eventually be known as San Francisco's signature touch on the  
> beginnings of dance music.
>
> In November of this year the Honey Boys were blessed by meeting one  
> of these legendary individuals, John Hedges aka Johnny Disco. 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 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 continued  
> 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, lay a goldmine  
> of disco twelve inches from Megatone, Moby Dick, and Fantasy  
> Records, and three boxes of various released/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.
>
> MEGATONE's NON STOP HITS:
>   To get you prepared for what you might hear at the party we have  
> added a Megatone Greatest Hits mix from the archive to our Honey  
> Potcast. Released as a non-stop party mix in 1984 you can listen to  
> it by adding our potcast or by listening to the MP3 directly.
>

>
>     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.
>
> We encourage anyone who has missed out on our parties to come out  
> this Sunday. This event will only happen once.
