Born in the Netherlands and now based in Berlin, Steffi has been throwing parties and putting out records (she's at the helm of two labels: electro-based Klakson, and Dolly, which focuses on deep house and techno) for more than a decade. Her big break came in 2007, when she moved to Berlin and began a DJ residency at Panorama Bar, the upstairs house music-centric big sister to the techno mega-club Berghain. While the warm, uplifting vibe of Panorama Bar made a big impact on her DJ sets, Steffi goes well beyond house music. Her sets reach far and wide, incorporating stark, sleek minimal techno as well as bouncy, raucous electro. She also has deep knowledge of the mid-'90s phenomenon known as "intelligent dance music," or IDM — think Aphex Twin, Autechre, and the like — and mixes those tunes into her sets flawlessly, adding a cerebral flair to her DJ sets.
Opening up the night is Doc Sleep, one of San Francisco's best local DJs, whose penchant for deep, spacious techno will be the perfect appetizer for Steffi. And because it's a Honey Soundsystem party, expect the finest visual treatments of any party in San Francisco; lately, the Honey crew has been working with a team of talented visual artists and designers to bring its parties to another level. Honey's residents (Josh Cheon, Robot Hustle, Jason Kendig, and Jackie House) will be on hand to keep the party going all night long.
