Upcoming Mechanical Breakdown Guest DJs:

April: Jumpr

Hailing from San Francisco, Joe Weidman (aka Jumpr) has been a staple of SF nightlife since 2016. He got his start in the leather scene as the creative director for Fog City Pack before jumping behind the decks himself in 2018. In 2021, Jumpr, along with his dj partner Fawks, became resident of the monthly party Stank, one of SF’s longest running fetish nights. In 2023, he launched Synthia, a party that celebrates the queer sci-fi futurism of the 1970s & 80s with an emphasis on vintage synths & space disco, and along with Fog City Pack resurrected Deviants: Adult Arcade, the closing party of the Folsom Street Fair which boasted 2000 guests in attendance. Jumpr prides himself on being a dance floor filler, agnostic of genre, spinning everything from sweaty bathhouse disco to throbbing techno bangers. Jumpr wants to bring the rush and keep the energy ecstatic.
