Urban culture magazine Groove Effect recently caught up with San Francisco’s Eric Sharp, an anchor of the Bay Area house music community as DJ, producer, event producer, and owner-manager of the emerging Rock It Science Laboratories label.
Check out his insights on his early influences, and get the background details on his upcoming show with Green Velvet and Designer Drugs (this Saturday, June 20, at Mezzanine - SF):

I was very heavily influenced by Chicago House and Techno so of course Green Velvet was on my radar for a long time. I first saw him perform with his whole band at this massive rave called Boo 4 in New York City in 1999 (I grew up in Boston.) I have always liked how tough his music is and how creative he gets with his vocals, and his tracks and remixes have been in heavy rotation in my DJ sets since day one.
