Honey Soundsystem is the San Francisco DJ crew made up of Jason Kendig, Jacob Sperber, and Robert Yang. If you examined a San Francisco dance floor, you would find many layers of rich history stamped into the wood grain. It would tell you tales of the 80's discotheques like the Trocadero Transfer or of Sylvester playing acetates at the End Up. Look closer and you will find imprints of endless nights sweating to the sounds of the DJ Harvey and the Wicked Crew or Mark Farina and the naked sounds of Miguel Migs. But, if you were to look up and into the DJ booth, you would find some new faces fanning the flames of a heavy torch passed on.Honey Soundsystem, a DJ group created in the spirit of the legendary bay area crews, have been making their own scuff marks on todays dancefloors while spreading the gospel of SF's rich dance music history. A couple of years ago discaires, Ken Woodard, Jacob Sperber, and Robert Yang, Jason Kendig. came together seeking to fill a void they saw in current gay nightlife. Each member, with years of experience under their belt, oversaw a revival of gay disco legends and queer house music producers celebrated by a new generation of dancers. Honey Soundsystem started throwing events bringing those old records with the excitement of new underground sounds back to a gay/mixed dancefloor. Honey started turning heads with cunning ad campaigns, decadent themes, international guests, private warehouse parties and of course their own floor stomping DJ sets. The Mineshaft party for example, was an evening dedicated to SF's high energy disco label Megatone Records of which Honey has worked hard to release never before heard music from SF disco legend Patrick Cowley.They have hosted DJ's from around the world, including Todd Terje, Horse Meat Disco London, Hunee, Prosumer, Steffi, Discodromo, Rødhåd, Mystic Bill, Derek Plaslaiko, Ben Aqua-Resident Advisor
