"A little 411 Regarding DecaDance in Santa Rosa.

One of the best things that can happen to house music performer is when they get the opportunity to really groove out with the entire party. One would think that a little drive up from the Golden Gate Bridge to a small, out of the way community wouldn't be worth the time; that there wouldn't be anyone to come out who would appreciate the music.

I recently had the pleasure of being reminded exactly what it was like to hit a tight, family vibe like Decadance. Let me say that it was one of the best parties I've ever played in the Bay Area in quite sometime. No bullshit- It Is Off The Chain! First off, the people were top notch heads that just wanted to get their groove on. Second, the spot was pretty cool. Cant go wrong in a converted restaurant with a hard wood floor, ya know? Third, the sound was the way it should be: BUMPIN'. Nothing motivates me more than a sound system that's tuned to the venue and sounds clear and loud. Finally, the promoters are pimp. Nice to know that there are people out there that care about everyone having a good time to solid beats.

S0 KUDOS to the DecaDance family: hosts and heads that are in it to win it."

"Zack Darling, an automatic friend, and Damian invited me to play Decadance in Santa Rosa for the first time last year ... and goddamn, does it go off! Sweatin' my ass off in the North Bay playing for a rockin' crowd ... who woulda thought? Cool spot with a broad range of heads who like to get into it ... fun to play and get down. And on and on and on, we gonna get it on..."

"A jewel of a club in slow motion Santa Rosa. No offense, but Santa Rosa is a bit stuck in the past. But you don't feel that for a second at Decadance. Its a flipped out atmosphere with Hippies and Hip Hop merging with Klub Kultcha and the Freak Beatniks.

I love spinning there 'cause everyone is open to it all and people dance crazy like you're outdoors under the moon or something.

I loved visiting when I was living in Calistoga and I'll come back any time.

Plus plus ultra plus."

"Decadance exists to disenfranchise the smug city clubber of any belief that the valid big nights out exists within the realms of the 415. It's one of the two Northbay outposts pinning down the fabric of dance counter-culture, and it leaves ecstatic crowds to pulse joyfully under the sway of fuck-you-to the wall bass, floral mids and sweet highs - the night these lads (Zack and Damian) have created is a sonic call to prayer invoking the highest calling to movement, at this gem of a dance Mecca!"

"Zack summed up the Decadance vibe and mission for me recently in a line that suddenly made perfect sense: 'It's about exposure, not profit.'

Of course. These days, many promoters don't seem to be about creating a scene, building it from the ground up. It's the same with the big radio stations and their lame-assed playlists - they've forgotten their responsibility to be bringing people culture, positive influences and to raise the bar of quality and taste.

Decadance is doing things properly: Fat sound system. Quality talent. Low ticket prices. In a word, commitment. They are prepared to believe in something and take a risk on it. While others are killing the goose that lays the golden egg, Decadance is feeding it organic grain - and it's working."
