For weekly tour dates, visit www.Bearracuda.com In a metropolis like San Francisco, with a night life as diverse as it's citizens, Matt Consola has often been singled out as one of the defining DJ's for the late-nite Big Room sound of San Francisco. As a DJ Matt has traveled the world playing many of the largest Circuit and Club events throughout America, the UK, Ireland, Greece, Canada and Mexico. As a producer, DJ and remixer, Matt has a voracious appetite for massive, hands-in-the-air anthems rich in uplifting vocals, meaty, masculine bass lines, and progressive tribal beats, that made him a regular through out the 1990's & 2000's at Miami & Chicago's "Crobar" (Anthem), Atlanta's "Ground Zero", Denver's "Pure", San Francisco's "Fusion", "Friction", and "X-Men" T-Dances, all topped off by his high profile residency at the San Francisco Mega-Circuit Club, METROPOLIS; that garnered him international attention, and 12 albums in the Circuit Grooves line on Redzone Records. Getting his start at the legendary San Francisco club COLOSSUS, by Gus Presents, as well as Sunday afternoons at the infamous End Up, Matt is now a resident DJ at San Francisco's Circuit clubs Sanctuary, Adonis, and Underworld, San Francisco's largest Bear club, Bearracuda, as well as holds court at The Castro's hottest weekly Friday, BOY BAR, at the world renowned CAFE.

Like his radio show of the same name, Swishcraft is dedicated to releasing happy, vocal driven dance tracks that Consola hopes will put the "fun and enjoyment back in dance music." Swishcraft's first release was the chart topping solo single Matt Consola ft Brenda Reed & LFB "Midnight", a club interpretation of the 1982 Yazoo ballad from "Upstairs at Erics." Quickly followed by the smash hit, "Coming Back" also by Matt Consola feat Brenda Reed & LFB, these and other fine Swishcraft releases can be found for sale on SwishcraftMusic.com, Beatport, iTunes and Wherever Kick Ass Tracks Are Sold! ** Adapter, the podcast will be getting a new home in late 2012 with it's own channel. So for those of you who still like it a bit harder and darker, Adapter will return. Be sure to become our friend on the Swishcraft Facebook page an watch for announcements about the return of ADAPTER.
