SUBSTANCE w/special guests MEL & MARKY

With the year coming to an end we thought it would be appropriate to go out in spectacular fashion, so instead of inviting one guest we've decided to go with an unprecedented two guests! It's just something we're not accustomed to, as we normally have at least 2 of our residents hold things down. However, with the resume's these guys have we're not worried one bit.

This month we've got MEL and MARKY (aka, the Enriquez Brothers?) as well as the unmistakeable SEXY RYAN running things for us. Yes it's true that Mel and Marky are actually brothers, however it's not very often that you get to see them on the same bill.

With their deejay careers spanning 2 separate paths, it's baffling to think that they're brothas from the same motha. Despite the difference in styles, each brother brings a wealth of experience and creativity when it comes to party-rockin. If you're wondering how things will pan out dance-floor wise, you know we've already got that part covered.

Now before we bid farewell for the year, we'd like to give some special birthday shoutouts to our dear friends RJAY YAMAT, RYAN CABALBAG, as well as our guest deejay MEL ENRIQUEZ. We'd like to thank them (as well as everyone else who's attended a SUBSTANCE event) for continuing to support our movement and we look forward to what 2012 has to offer.

Cheers,

-Substance Crew

WHAT IS SUBSTANCE?
http://whatissubstance.com/

SUBSTANCE is a monthly musical event held every second Friday in San Mateo at an intimate venue otherwise known as Attic.

Its main goals are:

1. To bring like-minded music lovers together.

2. To represent for music/musicians/deejays of the highest caliber who often get overlooked.

3. To introduce people to the beauty and brilliance of underground music (we tend to gravitate towards soul, jazz, funk, house, broken-beat, boogie, world rhythms, and other progressive styles).

4. To attract people to come to our event strictly because of what we play. Selection is what we intend to build our reputation on.

We feel that most music in the public eye is all flash, gimmicks, but lacking SUBSTANCE. We want to fill that void.

SUBSTANCE believes in:

Musicianship
Unrecognized Talent
Hard-Earned Digging
Skillful Selecting
Solid Fundamentals
Cutting-Edge Quality
Intelligent Composition
Independent Thinking
Paying Dues
Humility
Versatility
Staying Informed
Being Yourself.

Our rotating residents are:
