  • Peter Verbrugge - @peterverb. I was djing at the Pink Panther during one of their original 12 Days of Xmas and snapped this pic. When I was 15 1/2, on the day I got my learner's permit, I told my parents I was going to a church dance in Clairemont and instead drove downtown to the opening night of the Skeleton Club, San Diego's first punk club opened by Tim Mays and Laura Fraser. The bands were fantastic, the club was fantastic, but what impressed the most was Peter. He was a kid who had just moved over from the UK and had a whole case of punk and reggae 7's that he was playing between bands. Incredible stuff that no one in San Diego had heard before, and that night set me on the course to being a DJ. Thank you Peter.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #onenationsd #bartblackstone #pinkpanthersd #pinkpanther #skeletonclub #mrmazee #sandiegopunk #sandiegoclubhistory

  • One Nation underground party, Centro Cultural De La Raza, Balboa Park, San Diego. Centro Cultural is one of my favorite places in San Diego and we did several parties here in our early warehouse era days. It was a giant abandoned water tank that the city gave to a group of Hispanic artists in the 1960's for the creation of a Chicano arts and community center. The inside is like one giant 40' high concrete wall that goes all the way around and is covered top to bottom in Chicano murals. It's famous all over the world, but I'm always surprised how many San Diegans have never set foot in it. For our parties people had to park in a lot in the middle of the park, then walk back on a trail that wound through a dark forest grove. Our friends at trade roots reggae hooked us up with hardcore smoke pots and as you walked up the whole park smelled like incense. It was magic.

  • 1970's era Marko Disco in Tijuana was one of the coolest clubs I have ever DJ'd in.

  • I was a regular DJ at the Pink Panther and @mrmazee and the Pink Panther/Casbah were critical in getting the first One Nation warehouse parties off the ground. Those first warehouse parties were inspired by Tim Mays DOA punk shows. The idea that you don’t wait around for an established club to let you book your bands and music, you just go out and rent a hall and do whatever you have to to make it happen was hugely influential to us. And Tim personally stepped in time and again to hook us up with kegs or change or gear or whatever. I felt like they were always there for us. Feeling gratitude and looking forward to being back at the Casbah THIS Fourth of July weekend (Wednesday July 3).

  • I ran into Michael Pringle from Behind the Post Office and Sarah Schoeffel from Cafe Lulu one sunny summer afternoon at Behind the Post Office. It was a place you could always stop by and catch up with friends and cool people. Everybody was there at some point.⠀ We'd been doing warehouse parties all around downtown San Diego. Then after I moved to New York a whole crop of cool stores opened along the stretch of F St between 8th and 9th, behind the US Post Office. Green Circle Bar was at one end and BPO was at the other. Garish Vibe and Vast 5000 were in there as well, as well as Cafe Lulu, Pokez and Java Coffeehouse within a few blocks walk. #BehindThePostOffice #GreenCircleBar #GaslampHistory #DowntownSanDiego

  • Major Chris and Commander Jackson were regular One Nation DJ's. With a guy named Elliot Lieb who ran a cool local shop called Trade Roots, they also promoted their own underground reggae parties around town along with a few other promoters. Their parties at Fidelity Hall in Logan Heights were always my favorite because it seemed like the entire Jamaican community in San Diego would turn out. There were moms and dads serving homemade jerk chicken and Red Stripe out of the cloakroom and early in the night, kids playing outside. ⠀ ⠀ Dancehall - the highly electronic hip-hop influenced form of reggae - was coming out of Jamaica and they always had the very latest records. But my favorite favorite part was at like 4 or 5 in the morning after everyone had danced all night and the party was starting to wane, there was an old guy in his 60s who would get behind the turntables with a case of 7 singles and start pulling out the old Studio One and Treasure Isle rocksteady records. And the party would kick into another gear just chug along until sunrise. Amazing memory - so glad I got to experience that.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #casbah #onenationsd #sandiegoclubs #sandiegoreggae #bartblackstone #rootsrockreggae #reggaemusic #traderoots #majorchris #fidelityhall #sandiegohistory #sandiegonightlife

  • An example of some of the other events going on around San Diego when we started doing the One Nation warehouse parties.⠀ ⠀ In retrospect one of the things that made San Diego such a cool place to grow up was that there was not always a lot going on. As opposed to bigger cities where there might be a hip-hop party every night, or specific clubs just for heavy metal or drum and bass or whatever. ⠀ ⠀ But in San Diego you had punks going to gay clubs, hip-hoppers going to performance art shows and clubs like the Casbah you could go to five straight nights in one week and see five really different really great kinds of music. A whole world of music from right across the border. For the people that were around back then, this resulted in a really rich cross-pollination of music and styles I don't think you would get in a bigger city. ⠀ ⠀ That was the backdrop behind One Nation - the idea that we would try to pull together all of these different groups into one massive party.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #casbah #casbahsandiego #nightlife #onenation #dj #bartblackstone #vinyl #records #funk #soul #disco #warehouseparty #oldschool #nightclubbing #throwback #oldschoolhiphop #sandiegounderground #sandiegomusic #sandiegohistory #hiphophistory #sandiegostyle #sandiegoclubs #northpark #cocktails #scottishrite⠀ ⠀ ⠀
