Deep East has always been about connecting the various factions of our community in order to present a broader picture of what electronic dance music has become, where this music is headed.
On this night we proudly present Jason Kendig of Honey Soundsystem. With ties all across the globe, Kendig is the perfect representative of the international voice that is House music. As an individual who has steeped himself in dance music for nearly two decades, Kendig's sets always strive to link the present day with past; new forms built upon the foundations created by dance music's pioneers.
Never one to be confined by genre, Jason pushes against expectations by reaching deeply into his vast collection as a way to bridge the divide between styles and eras. When selecting, Kendig's net casts wide and its reach is deep. Soulful vocal loops meet with acidic cameos; tension is patiently constructed in a controlled display of kinetic energy. The outcome of this process is a joy to behold.
Please join us for a "Very Special Deep East" as we are exceedingly proud to welcome this very talented man of the moment, Jason Kendig.

JASON KENDIG (Honey Soundsystem)
https://soundcloud.com/kendig
Inspired by the electronic music emanating from the airwaves while growing up outside of Detroit, Jason Kendig has been pursuing the dance music pulse for nearly two decades. For the past eight years he has been an integral member of the esteemed Honey Soundsystem. A queer collective of like minded musicians, artists and discaires based in San Francisco focused on elevating nightlife in the Bay Area and beyond.
Not one to be limited by genres, he is just as comfortable deftly mixing between the dark realms of techno and deeper slices of house music as well as the more underground sounds of disco & italo and that is reflected in his extensive vinyl collection which is testament to his many years digging through dusty crates in an endless pursuit of the perfect groove. Whether he is warming up the dance floor or steering it through its peek hours he never fails to make others move through his ability to reference dance music's past yet keeping an ear to the future.
