Better than: Lasertag.
Few of us haven't felt the disappointment of a policeman emerging from the depths of a crowd to announce the party is over. Ordinarily though, you don't expect to encounter the cops' ever-dreaded demand to "Turn the music off!" at 11:30 p.m. inside a legitimate club. Last night's "secret" show featuring Diplo and (allegedly) Switch (together known as Major Lazer), however, was anything but ordinary.
Inside SOM., the crowd was full of familiar faces from San Francisco nightlife, including DJ Q-Bert and Switch's Dubsided labelmate, Sticky K. While Eug of the FACE parties warmed up the sizable crowd with a classic house set, including tracks from artists Escort and Juan Maclean, people reserved their most energetic dance moves in anticipation of the headliners.
UP NEXT: The cops show up.
