ANTHONY MANSFIELD + DJ SAMWISE

Saturday, February 28th

Out of the Wicked’s Crew’s full moon raves at Baker Beach, came a handful of direct disciples; torch-bearers of the acid disco, called by the mission to make bodies move. Our next master selector is one such man, who carried these influential roots to New York and back; imprinting the deep and nuanced sound into each floor along the way.  And over the decades, ANTHONY MANSFIELD has woven his own natural mystique, having joined SF stalwart DJ M3 to form the infamous Green Gorilla Lounge in 2001; strewing legendary underground parties across the Bay and inviting top tier talent from across the globe.

 ANTHONY also fostered the widely adored Burning Man camps of Space Lounge and Disco Knights, and as an integral organizing musical force, left an enduring mark on the playa sands. He has produced for the nu disco, house, and edit fundamentals— Rong Music, Gomma, Wicked, and Om Records— and launched his own label, Hector Works, with NYC deep house wizard Nick Chacona. He has multiple records in his catalogue with acid godfather DJ Garth, and has garnered support from leaders of the scene in Harvey, Ivan Smagghe, Dimitri from Paris, Greg Wilson, and the Idjut Boys. ANTHONY is a true and living steward of dance, and we simply can’t wait to welcome him to the helm for another sweltering spin from the evening into morning light — come and join the Basement family for this next edition of rhythmic enchantment.

And carrying that same torch of devotion and depth, we welcome DJ SAMWISE. A lifelong crate-digger and dancefloor architect, SAMWISE has been collecting and shaping dance music frequencies since the early ’90s. A steadfast presence in the Los Angeles underground since the mid-’90s, he has shared rituals and built soundscapes alongside longtime collaborators Armando Gil and Alex Mora. Together, they co-founded the beloved monthly gathering Spacewalk in 2010 — a true LA institution — later extending its orbit through Spacewalk Radio, a platform for resident and guest selectors alike.

For this gathering, SAMWISE takes on the opening invocation — setting the tone, opening the channels, and patiently guiding the room from first pulse to full possession.  Known for deep, considered selections and an innate sense of dancefloor flow, his opening sets are slow-burn transmissions: spacious, intentional, and primed to carry the night forward. With decades of experience, taste, and groove behind the decks, DJ SAMWISE lays the foundation upon which the journey unfolds.

The foundation is set. The dance awaits..
