Mozaic, Cumulus, and Auto

The Academy has three great DJs for this installment of NightLife:

Mozaic is a DJ, vocalist, and producer hailing from San Francisco. He has built a reputation on solid mixing and fearless genre-hopping: tech-house, techno, broken beat, 2-step, midtempo and dub all find their way into his arsenal, sometimes within a single set. Recently, you also may have heard Mozaic's collaboration with EPROM, Hookerz & Blow; they've been laying waste to dancefloors up and down the West Coast with their live dj/laptop sets, and had recent remixes rinsed by everyone from Basement Jaxx to Jesse Rose to Annie Mac.

Cumulus is a local dj and producer who has developed a strong following for his fearless programming and genre-twisting. Always implementing different tempos and styles of downtempo, hip-hop, dubstep, and drum and bass, he is known for keeping the dance floor hopping. He has performed regularly for several local event production crews such as Evil Breaks, StrategikSF, and The Connossuer Collective.  He currently holds down a residency at Shine SF.

Equal parts street wisdom and jazz training, Auto’s unique sets explore downtempo, jazz, glitch, funk, and IDM, all over a gritty, dusty hip-hop break.  Drawing influences heavily from the UK trip-hop and drum and bass scenes, Auto has shared the stage and the airwaves with the likes of LTJ Bukem, Pendulum, the Streets, and Amon Tobin.  Expect a head-bobbing palette of grooves that walk that fine line between hip-hop, electronic music, and the sonic beyond.

Science in Action - Green Cities by the Bay

Science in Action is a monthly series presented at NightLife. It is hosted and moderated by Kishore Hari of Down to a Science and is designed to bring you the current events of our science world.  This week, Science In Action presents a panel conversation with Robert Parkhurst, Environmental Policy Manager at PG&E, along with the climate action coordinators for Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco as they discuss how local governments are tackling climate change. In the past few years, many local governments have added sustainability and climate change positions to help guide policy: from simply adding more bike lanes to creating green jobs.

The conversation is at 7:30 pm in the Academy Forum.  Passes for the panel discussion will be available the night of the event on a first-come, first-served basis at the Academy Forum.

Also, join us in African Hall as each climate action coordinator discusses the specific details of their city's plans and how you can help their efforts. This is a great opportunity to talk with your government official one-on-one!
