While nightlife is an important realm for artists, musicians and other creative people to connect, the trio says those bonds can be fostered without alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like every time I go to a show, there’s one more person who’s like, ‘I stopped drinking,'” says Hill. “The ranks are continuing to increase. And that’s for all varieties of reasons: some people are in recovery, some aren’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there’s the harm reduction aspect of it also,” adds Hughes, referencing the growing popularity of Dry January—and other months that people have been taking as an excuse to not drink, like Sober October and Dry July. “January’s a perfect time to check in with yourself about it. Do I still enjoy drinking? Am I drinking because I have social anxiety? Am I drinking because I’m used to drinking all the time and that’s what I do? Am I drinking because my friends drink? Just checking in and being like, ‘where do I stand with my substance use?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sober bars have already opened in Austin and New York. But the East Bay has few late-night hangout options for non-drinkers—Berkeley’s UC campus-area cafe Au Coquelet is open until 1:30am, but isn’t much of a social scene, with bright lights and students engrossed in late-night study sessions on their laptops.

The tight but amorphous crew behind \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sweaterfunk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sweater Funk\u003c/a> digs deep into the sounds of the late ’70s and ’80s at one of the city’s most beloved parties, which will soon celebrate 10 years as the Bay Area’s premiere night for funk, disco and a rare proto–hip-hop subgenre genre called boogie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next party, on July 29, is Sweater Funk’s last weekly event at The Knockout before it goes on a brief hiatus. An official 10th anniversary celebration takes place at the Elbo Room on September 29, and the crew will bring back Sweater Funk as a monthly on Nov. 10, holding down second Saturdays at The Knockout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/196041576″ params=”color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boogie is a subgenre of funk that might sound familiar to anyone who was listening to the radio when bands like \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/CAORTc5dj3Y\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tavares\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9rKs6E47nQ\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Slave\u003c/a> were popular—or it might sound like disco. Yet the slower, bass-heavy boogie, which Sweater Funk popularized locally, is a direct result of the so-called “\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/07/16/485873750/july-12-1979-the-night-disco-died-or-didnt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disco sucks\u003c/a>” movement of the late ’70s, during which mostly white, male rock fans publicly rallied against the genre. Critics have since interpreted the movement as a backlash against disco fans and artists—many of whom were black and Latino, queer and female.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Disco and uptempo R&B had to go underground again and it got cooler. It got black again, it got gay again and it got good again. It got sexier, it got funkier,” says Jacob Pena, aka DJ Guillermo, adding that Michael Jackson and Prince dabbled in boogie. “I think this is a really accessible genre; it’s positive and the lyrical content is almost always about love.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13837778\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 700px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13837778\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/07/sweaterfunk.jpg\" alt=\"Sweater Funk's sweaty fifth anniversary party in 2013. \" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/07/sweaterfunk.jpg 700w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/07/sweaterfunk-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/07/sweaterfunk-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/07/sweaterfunk-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/07/sweaterfunk-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sweater Funk’s sweaty fifth anniversary party in 2013. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Sweater Funk)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Co-founders Jon Blunk and Pena, both former Southern California residents and longtime DJs, met at a Long Beach soul night called Good Foot and bonded over their love of obscure funk records. Both moved to the Bay Area circa 2005–2006 and, inspired by legendary Los Angles boogie party Funkmosphere, started a boogie night in the basement of Chinatown’s Li-Po Lounge in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At that time, everyone subscribed to the belief that funk ended in 1974 and ’80s stuff was considered cheesy. You’d only ever hear it if a lowrider happened to be rolling by,” Blunk says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the two DJs were drawn to the heaviness of records such as Keni Burke’s “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/i_VtdpQdrh4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hang Tight\u003c/a>” and La Voyage’s “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/ZrdFv0V1ogg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Never Looking Back\u003c/a>” (both from 1982), and so were partygoers. Sweater Funk quickly created a tight community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all felt like we had this one thing in common, which everyone else told us sucked,” says Pena. “But we knew better; doing this night kind of proved it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUFgen5eohU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than a year in, the small basement became packed with dancers, record collectors and other local DJs—including The Selecter DJ Kirk Harper, who quickly became central to Sweater Funk—that were into the underground, gritty and incredibly danceable vibe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DJ, producer and singer Eric Boss fell in love immediately. “It felt like a party someone would throw in high school when their parents were out of town in a dark basement with the music blasting, drinking beers, smoking a ‘lil something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Li-Po’s basement shut down, Sweater Funk landed at The Knockout, which has been the party’s home since 2012. The Sweater Funk DJs also host special events at Elbo Room and open for likeminded artists coming through town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sweater Funk crew of DJs grew to a dozen people of different ethnicities and genders, including K-Maxx, Christina Chungtech, Sean Sullivan and Sheila Hernando. The women of Sweater Funk paved the way for all-female DJ groups like the B-Side Brujas, the Chulita Vinyl Club and the Cookie Crew, Harper added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sound of Sweater Funk also evolved, adding peripheral genres such as lovers rock, “modern soul” and slower-tempo steppers. Out of respect and curiosity, DJs often play entire songs rather than mixing samples. The party’s accessibility, style and dedication to boogie and its adjacent genres garnered widespread attention, attracting like minds from across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELNb2tAo4dM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sweater Funk has been one of the main crews known around the globe for keeping the boogie style in fashion,” said Chicago-based boogie DJ and Star Creature label co-owner Tim Zawada. “Because of its persistent popularity and welcoming vibe from DJs, there has been a nice increase in the amount of artists, labels and vinyl releases focusing on a modern interpretation of the boogie spirit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mainstream artists have embraced the boogie influences in recent years. Bruno Mars’ \u003cem>24K Magic\u003c/em> and Mayer Hawthorne’s side project \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/H45DtfQS0zU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tuxedo\u003c/a> both heavily employ boogie sounds. Locally, groups like Con Brio and Los Angeles’ Orgone have been influenced by early ’80s sounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Los Angeles DJ Miles Tackett came up with the name Sweater Funk, after the fuzzy sweaters featured on many boogie album covers, the party’s success may be due to its unique San Francisco spirit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco is down to party. There’s still a heart to it that hasn’t been snuffed out yet. Hopefully we’re helping to keep that heart beating,” Pena said. “Ferchrissakes, we started in a basement in Chinatown! You can’t more San Francisco than that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The next Sweater Funk takes place July 29 at The Knockout.

The tight but amorphous crew behind \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sweaterfunk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sweater Funk\u003c/a> digs deep into the sounds of the late ’70s and ’80s at one of the city’s most beloved parties, which will soon celebrate 10 years as the Bay Area’s premiere night for funk, disco and a rare proto–hip-hop subgenre genre called boogie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next party, on July 29, is Sweater Funk’s last weekly event at The Knockout before it goes on a brief hiatus. An official 10th anniversary celebration takes place at the Elbo Room on September 29, and the crew will bring back Sweater Funk as a monthly on Nov. 10, holding down second Saturdays at The Knockout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='”100%”' height='”166″'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/196041576″&visual=true&”color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true”'\n title='”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/196041576″'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boogie is a subgenre of funk that might sound familiar to anyone who was listening to the radio when bands like \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/CAORTc5dj3Y\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tavares\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9rKs6E47nQ\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Slave\u003c/a> were popular—or it might sound like disco. Yet the slower, bass-heavy boogie, which Sweater Funk popularized locally, is a direct result of the so-called “\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/07/16/485873750/july-12-1979-the-night-disco-died-or-didnt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disco sucks\u003c/a>” movement of the late ’70s, during which mostly white, male rock fans publicly rallied against the genre. Critics have since interpreted the movement as a backlash against disco fans and artists—many of whom were black and Latino, queer and female.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Disco and uptempo R&B had to go underground again and it got cooler. It got black again, it got gay again and it got good again. It got sexier, it got funkier,” says Jacob Pena, aka DJ Guillermo, adding that Michael Jackson and Prince dabbled in boogie. “I think this is a really accessible genre; it’s positive and the lyrical content is almost always about love.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13837778\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 700px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13837778\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/07/sweaterfunk.jpg\" alt=\"Sweater Funk's sweaty fifth anniversary party in 2013. \" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/07/sweaterfunk.jpg 700w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/07/sweaterfunk-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/07/sweaterfunk-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/07/sweaterfunk-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/07/sweaterfunk-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sweater Funk’s sweaty fifth anniversary party in 2013. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Sweater Funk)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Co-founders Jon Blunk and Pena, both former Southern California residents and longtime DJs, met at a Long Beach soul night called Good Foot and bonded over their love of obscure funk records. Both moved to the Bay Area circa 2005–2006 and, inspired by legendary Los Angles boogie party Funkmosphere, started a boogie night in the basement of Chinatown’s Li-Po Lounge in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You’d only ever hear it if a lowrider happened to be rolling by,” Blunk says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the two DJs were drawn to the heaviness of records such as Keni Burke’s “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/i_VtdpQdrh4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hang Tight\u003c/a>” and La Voyage’s “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/ZrdFv0V1ogg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Never Looking Back\u003c/a>” (both from 1982), and so were partygoers. Sweater Funk quickly created a tight community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all felt like we had this one thing in common, which everyone else told us sucked,” says Pena. “But we knew better; doing this night kind of proved it.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/AUFgen5eohU'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/AUFgen5eohU'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Less than a year in, the small basement became packed with dancers, record collectors and other local DJs—including The Selecter DJ Kirk Harper, who quickly became central to Sweater Funk—that were into the underground, gritty and incredibly danceable vibe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DJ, producer and singer Eric Boss fell in love immediately. “It felt like a party someone would throw in high school when their parents were out of town in a dark basement with the music blasting, drinking beers, smoking a ‘lil something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Li-Po’s basement shut down, Sweater Funk landed at The Knockout, which has been the party’s home since 2012. The Sweater Funk DJs also host special events at Elbo Room and open for likeminded artists coming through town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sweater Funk crew of DJs grew to a dozen people of different ethnicities and genders, including K-Maxx, Christina Chungtech, Sean Sullivan and Sheila Hernando. The women of Sweater Funk paved the way for all-female DJ groups like the B-Side Brujas, the Chulita Vinyl Club and the Cookie Crew, Harper added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sound of Sweater Funk also evolved, adding peripheral genres such as lovers rock, “modern soul” and slower-tempo steppers. Out of respect and curiosity, DJs often play entire songs rather than mixing samples. The party’s accessibility, style and dedication to boogie and its adjacent genres garnered widespread attention, attracting like minds from across the country.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/ELNb2tAo4dM'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ELNb2tAo4dM'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“Sweater Funk has been one of the main crews known around the globe for keeping the boogie style in fashion,” said Chicago-based boogie DJ and Star Creature label co-owner Tim Zawada. “Because of its persistent popularity and welcoming vibe from DJs, there has been a nice increase in the amount of artists, labels and vinyl releases focusing on a modern interpretation of the boogie spirit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mainstream artists have embraced the boogie influences in recent years. Bruno Mars’ \u003cem>24K Magic\u003c/em> and Mayer Hawthorne’s side project \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/H45DtfQS0zU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tuxedo\u003c/a> both heavily employ boogie sounds. Locally, groups like Con Brio and Los Angeles’ Orgone have been influenced by early ’80s sounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Los Angeles DJ Miles Tackett came up with the name Sweater Funk, after the fuzzy sweaters featured on many boogie album covers, the party’s success may be due to its unique San Francisco spirit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco is down to party. There’s still a heart to it that hasn’t been snuffed out yet. Hopefully we’re helping to keep that heart beating,” Pena said. “Ferchrissakes, we started in a basement in Chinatown! You can’t more San Francisco than that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The next Sweater Funk takes place July 29 at The Knockout.
