DJ Assault

DJ Assault is the Detroit duo of dj Craig Adams and producer Ade' "Mr De" Mainor. In 1995 they released the influential techno anthems Crank This Mutha and Technofreak, although they became stars with Ass-n-Titties and Sex on the Beach. Adams' style (influenced by the hip-hop culture) was christened "ghetto tech".

Former Detroiter, now residing in San Francisco.This girl def knows her Dub and will definitely keep your feet moving and your head bobbin. If you missed her before, this is your chance to see this girl move the crowd. The Bay Area is toying with disaster by laying on a huge fault line with talent such as SKULLTRANE producing her jawdropping dubstep with MalLabel Music and her own label Cutty Dubs. Come plunge in to the bass of this talented female who is on fire right now! You’ll be able to say you saw her before she becomes a household name as one of best dubstep female producers, which will be in the very near future.

Some say LUCXKE emerged from the murky, stagnant depths of bayou country; called forth by ancient forgotten rituals of fire and song.
Others say on nights when the moon is engorged with light of our sun he can be found far from the city lights, shrouded in the towering redwoods of the Santa Cruz mountains.
They say that he meets in secret there with other bringers of the word.
That they summon their followers to them.
That they bring their disciples to the edge of madness and beyond...
Beyond into the deliverance of bass.

Ritual is now permanently at Mighty. The upgraded sound system in Mighty is amazing and we are going to double our budget to bring you even bigger headliners than before. Each week we will also have live dancers and performances provided by Bass Cabaret, as well as a featured painter creating a new piece on stage. There will be various visualists/projectionists, as well as many other surprises. Costumes, play things, big smiles and loud voices are highly encouraged.
For nearly 3 years, Irie Cartel has brought "Ritual" to San Francisco, featuring the very best in bass heavy electronic music. Our event is from 10pm to 3am every Thursday at Mighty (119 Utah St). The venue is ranked as having one of the best sound systems in the whole city. We have 2 rooms of music focusing on Dubstep, Glitch, Trap and similar styles. Admission is $5 before 10:30 and $10 after 10:30. The drink special is $8 for a 16oz PBR & whiskey shot between 10pm and 11pm.
This is our resurrection. Our rebirth into a new era of creativity and acceptance of one another. With this renaissance we encourage everyone to be themselves, welcome one another, be crazy and free, and cast your differences aside, or better yet, embrace them. It is time to shed old notions and drama, and come together again with a fresh new beginning. A change we have all been longing for and a time to refocus on what is really important, and inspiring. With spring comes a new dawn for growth and expression and we couldn't be in any better company on this journey.

Mighty has officially upgraded their sound system to be among the best in San Francisco, and beyond. They replaced its legacy RLA System and was awarded the first fully commissioned EAW Avalon Club.two® system in the country.
Mighty owners, Sean and Isabel Manchester, tapped San Francisco's JK Sound to design and install a new sound system to replace the historic Richard Long and Associates sound system. Michael Lacina, JK Sound President, and Brad Katz, Designer, suggested EAW's new Club.two line coupled with a combination of Lab Grupen and Powersoft power and processing for a combined output of 50,000 watts!
"Although there was much love and praise for the massive, classic RLA system at Mighty, we felt it was time to move forward with a brand new "state of the art" sound system that will raise the bar for super clean yet powerful sound on a dance floor".
-Sean Manchester - Mighty
Avalon Club.two by EAW represents a radical departure from all previous dance club loudspeaker systems, putting cutting-edge acoustic technology in a package that appeals to the design-conscious dance club market. The industrial design turns the loudspeaker inside-out, mounting an exposed mid/high horn in front of the grille. And the concave grille – sculpted in clean, straight lines – expresses the bilateral symmetry that unifies the design.
The main dance floor at Mighty will consist of four CLUB.two tops flown, with six SUB.two subs stacked in a “mono block”. The CLUB.two tops are designed around a unique high/mid co-axial compression driver, that combines ultra- efficiency and extreme output paired with symmetrical quad 12" lows, and everything is axially aligned for true phase point sourcing.
The SUB.two is the worlds first bi-amp hybrid subwoofer system; combining a bent bass horn driven by two 12" driver's and a single direct-radiating 21" driver mounted on the last horn flare. Powering the mains will be a pair of LabGruppen PLM10000q that couple high- output quad channel amps with legendary Lake® processing.
The subs stack will get two Powersoft K10's and one K8, all with the DSP+AESOP options that combine state the art processing, professional networking, and some of the highest power density available. There is even a cable damping factor correction inside the processing...an industry first. All amps have their own built-in processing that integrates with EAW's Gunness Focusing, another milestone in speaker processing that adds unmatched clarity by eliminating distortion through custom box algorithm's.
“EAW enjoys a distinguished history working with Michael Lacina and JK Sound. Michael has deep experience in dance club design and has been particularly excited to implement a new Avalon by EAW sound system. I know this because Michael strives to deliver the absolute pinnacle of quality, and that’s what Avalon by EAW is all about. But I also know this because Michael checked in frequently during product development. At Mighty, his pro-active approach has paid off. Congratulations to Michael, JK Sound and the team at Mighty on reaching this important milestone.”
-Jeff Rocha, President, Eastern Acoustic Works
To complete the system, the install will include the revolutionary Waves MAXX BCL preamp – used at Lincoln Center and on tour with Cirque Du Soleil, Metallica and other superstar acts. The MAXXBCL will send a digital AES signal to all amp/processor's, no extra digital to analog conversion allowing for even greater clarity and headroom. This also allows Mighty to have an all digital feed option straight from any digital mixer by converting the S/PDIF to AES and straight into the Waves unit, while also having a pristine analog feed with some of the best analog to digital converters in the industry.
“This absolutely sets a new standard for club sound. Beyond the power we’ve gotten from the new generation of components, the symmetry gives these systems an unprecedented level of clarity. The sonic imaging is simply amazing.”
- John Lyons - John Lyon's Systems
"This is a dream system for Mighty and me, the best of all things audio, pristine from track to ear. The idea is very, very, very large studio monitor's and a 3D sound you feel. This is new technology that really works."
-Brad Katz - Designer, JK Sound
