Festival time! The last time Uma Nota and Dub Connection Soundsystem took over Geary Lane, it was a beautiful Winter Nite. Weve joined forces again to bring you a night of uninhibited dancing to the best music for another amazing Saturday night at the warehouse space thats off the beaten track but closer than you think.

Our two live bands for the night represent between them music from Brazil, Haiti, west Africa and various parts of Latin America, plus we have two of the citys top selectors holding down the reggae, dub, MPB and vintage vinyl on all 15,000 watts of the mighty Dub Connection Soundsystem. All you have to do is make it to the spot.
