April has been a month of goodbyes. On April 3rd, we sent Housepitality founder Mikey Tello off to NYC. This week we are sending off another one of our favorites, Mr. Kevin Knapp, on his way to Berlin. Kevin is one of the most amazing musicians we know. He’s been an instrumental part of one of the most successful and longest-running weekly parties in SF, WERD., and his success, as a DJ, vocalist, producer, and all-around amazing person, has been all-but-assured, to those who have an ear to listen.

Kevin has honored us by having his last SF gig at our party. To make this occasion even more special, we’ve booked some of his greatest friends, his musical contemporaries, Nick Williams, and Nikita, to share in this experience. Nick is a founding member of the WERD party, in addition to being a most accomplished DJ. Although we’re sad that Kevin is leaving, we’re very excited to have this opportunity to have Nick play a set for us.

Nikita (who never stops dropping techno bombs) is a uniquely San Francisco DJ. Originally from Denver, he’s been dropping amazing music in SF and worldwide, as part of the listed family of artists. He’s held a residency at SF’s famous Endup, and is definitely one of the most talented and magnetic personalities to come up out of this talented and magnetic city. As a DJ, no one plays like Nikita does… and we’re happy to have him back.

Finally, last but not least, we’re proud to host an exlusive appearance from Eduardo Castillo. Eduardo is the man responsible for the Voodoo Loft parties in Los Angeles. The Voodoo Loft parties have a simple formula: feature the creme de la creme of house and techno artists in an extremely exclusive and intimate space, all for the love of the music. He’s hosted the best and brightest artists at his parties, and his talent, love of great music in the right environment make him a kindred spirit with us at Housepitality. We’re extremely honored to have him come play a set for us. Come and check him out… you will not be disappointed.

Kevin Knapp

Kevin Knapp just kicks it, plain and simple. Already a prominent figure in the San Francisco dance music community and a resident for the city’s highly regarded WERD crew, Kevin’s release of “Like This” on the Leftroom label last year catapulted him into the sights of the global dance community. Unable to rest on that track’s success, his collaborative follow up “Stay Glued” on Audiojack’s Gruuv imprint has been a scorcher for many international talents over the first half of this year. It’s being caned by talents such as Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, Claude Vonstroke, Magda, Eats Everything and many others.

Kevin’s vox are in high demand these days and some of his collaborative projects have involved some of the industry’s most prominent underground talents. Work with Matt Tolfrey, Kate Simko, Audiojack, Inxec, Burnski, Ooft, & Safeword’s Marc Smith have all contributed to Knapp’s contemporary sound. Also, watch out for Kevin as a featured vocalist on Matt Tolfrey’s debut full-length album “Word of Mouth” out in September 2012.

Having played alongside Claude VonStroke, Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Inxec, Subban, Lee Curtiss, Audiojack, Bill Patrick, Lee Burridge, Katou and Worthy just to name a few, Kevin is guaranteed to get you grooving on the dance floor.
