POPSCENE EST. 1995 Summer Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/popscenepresents Where DJ dance parties and live music collide. Spinning the best in new music: indie, electronic, synthpop, post-punk, Britpop, new wave, mod, '60s soul, '90s alt, future bass, chillwave and much more. Venerable San Francisco indie nightclub POPSCENE had humble beginnings. It was the original vision of four relentless music fans who collectively first met at formidable independent record store Mod Lang in Berkeley, CA back in the early ‘90s. Aaron Axelsen, Omar Perez, Eric Shea, and Jeremy P. Goldstein all shared the same passion and affinity for the UK music scene of the time, which encompassed bands like My Bloody Valentine, Radiohead, Stone Roses, Lush, Blur and Pulp, to name a few. This insatiable passion led to the birth of POPSCENE, currently one of the longest-running weekly parties in the country after making its definitive debut on the San Francisco nightlife scene 21 years ago. POPSCENE is a musical cocktail of indie DJs, legendary dance parties, and a launching pad for live bands and beatmakers alike. It has become synonymous with discovering and introducing to San Francisco the ‘next big thing.’ Throughout its history, POPSCENE has debuted impressive, incredible live acts in an intimate setting, many of whom go on to headline large Bay Area venues and festivals. Some alums include Sam Smith, Calvin Harris, Muse, Killers, Arctic Monkeys, Alt-J, Mumford and Sons, Klaxons, Dandy Warhols, Vampire Weekend, Glass Animals, and countless others. Adding to the folklore of POPSCENE, the club hosted Amy Winehouse's only Bay Area performance back in April of 2007 at its original home, the now closed 330 Ritch Street.
