Wobble Celebrates a Year of Underground Bass

Promoter Bryen Beglinger started Wobble Events last year as an underground answer to what he saw as uninspired, mainstream nightlife.

“The mainstream is all about being treated like cattle by bouncers herding you in to buy $13 drinks and listen to crappy, outdated house music,” Beglinger told the Reader last July. “There’s something else out there.”

He has since curated a number of out-of-town electronic bass luminaries, many for their first time in San Diego, including MiMOSA, Kraddy, Tipper, Eskmo, Pumpkin, Bird of Prey, Elite Force, Hedflux, Treavor Moontribe, and Krafty Kuts.

It's one hell of a party - beautiful women suspended above the dance floor from aerial silks, hoopers, live art, lights flashing everywhere lending a Q-zar edge to the burlesque circus ambiance - and it's apparent that Wobble's underground, often reaching capacity at the three-story Spin über-plex in Middletown, is among the best destinations in town for those who enjoy dance club chic sans the lackluster pomp of downtown institutions.

“I think it’s inspired some other people to shoot at bigger targets and expand and maybe dream a little bigger for their own events,” Beglinger says, “because now I feel I have a little competition and when I started, I didn’t. We are getting some really solid stuff around here.”

Among the friendly competition, Beglinger cites musician/promoters such as Joe Nader (Elev8) and Michael Mannino (RealEyes), both of whom have taken part in Wobbles past.

“This is honestly my most favorite lineup ever,” Beglinger says of the one year anniversary party on Saturday, March 17.

“I feel like it’s my birthday. Tipper is basically the person I named my event after. He’s the inventor of wobble bass and one of my personal heroes in music. Birds of Paradise [Bird of Prey and Gibson] are among my favorite music producers in world. Brian Seed is someone I’ve always wanted to book. I’ve loved his music for many years and admired him from afar. Now he’s playing at my event. Kaminanda is a musician who I’ve really come to appreciate and love. I first saw Holden playing on a renegade stage at Elysium [an outdoor music festival that Beglinger launched a few years ago]. He'll be opening the night.”

Spin’s second floor will feature local boomers Michael Mannino back-to-back with Brandon Vazquez, Lee Reynolds (Moonshake), Chris Gardener, and Ubiquitous.

As always, Wobble will be animating the venue with visuals, hooping, poi, clowning, aerial performances, dancing, and live art.

"For the first time in the U.S., electronic music is really taking center stage and many of the people in our very own scene have helped to create that,” Beglinger says. “I feel that there are still so many uncharted avenues to explore. Those are the places I want to go."
