:::: TESTIMONIALS ::::

Ace Ventura (Iboga Records)
"Pulse is an ensemble of love and I enjoyed every minute of playing for them, partying with them and hangin' in San fran. Big up !"

Hedflux (Luminus Music)
"Absolutely loved my time at Pulse SF! Really intimate atmosphere, super-conscious people and impeccable stage production. Bird of Prey (Addictech)
"Honestly, I feel Pulse SF is breathing much needed new life into the Bay Area psytrance community , working to bridge the gap between various scenes and genres. That's something I appreciate very much having began my journey in that area. Everyone involved is passionate and classy!"

Emok (Iboga Records)
The Pulse SF crew should be very proud of keeping the scene alive and for giving people such professional and wonderful events. Hypnoise (Maharetta Records)
What can I say about the big love spread by the Pulse family! I enjoyed every minute partying with them and playing at their parties! Love how they keep the psychedelic culture alive and feed it with pure madness!!! I felt like one of the family since minute one! Always a pleasure to be there! Love you guys! BOOOM!! Southwild (Wildthings Records UK)
Seriously next level crew! Pulse SF always creates amazing events with professional setup, soundsystems and fresh music. The vibe on the dancefloor is super friendly and welcoming to anybody. I would come back anytime specially after I've played at the Pulse SF stage at How Weird Street Faire...next level stuff." Gaspard (Peak Records)
"I had the privilege of being booked for a 2 date mini tour by the Pulse team in 2014 and it was an amazing experience! I was in great hands from start to finish, both at the venues and in between (and before). The venue, Beatbox, was the perfect size and full of happy, smiling people and the deco was absolute eye-candy! It is immediately clear that all involved in Pulse really are part of a tight-knit family, looking out for each other and involved and committed to Pulse and the scene in general. I think psytrance has a bright future in the USA with teams such as Pulse! "

Smoke Sign (Zenon Records/Desert Trax/Pulse) "When I think of the future of Psychedelic Trance in America, I think of Pulse. The last three years that I have been involved with their events have been some of the highest quality, and community oriented that I have ever had the privilege of performing at. With a strong focus on inclusion and multiple genres, you can always expect their lineups to be diverse and exciting. It's truly an honor to be added to the roster as their first resident producer." Attik (Expo Records)
In my own experience working with Pulse SF i can say that it was one of my most unforgettable acts in my life. Speaking about the SF scene from my own perspective I can say that the vibe between the artist and the people is so strong and energetic. Sometimes the crowd don´t know how difficult is to make an a trance event , but the reality is that the party & festival organizers are the key to make this happen. Big respect to the awesome persons behind this authentic and original Organization (Pulse SF) Always evolving and taking the music to the right places and minds.. one more time.. BIG RESPECT to Pulse SF Attik

StarLab (Digital Om Productions)
Spearheading the psychedelic scene in the USA, Pulse SF has set high standards in event production and quality of music in this part of the world. Ive had the esteemed pleasure of playing as well as attending many of their events and they set the bar higher each and every time. E.V.P (Wildthings Records)
"Pulse SF was a really fantastic party with high regard to production and audio / visual performance, I look forward to experience it again in the future.

Mondays can be tough. We all know this so to put a little pep in your step this week, a shot of mental caffeine to get things going we are excited to share and announce the sound system and deco teams for Pulse California : Outpost 604 The Equinox Strikes Back.

Our favorite sound team Chino Sound will be making the haul up the 5 to stack a set of perfectly tuned Danleys. The last couple of How Weirds Pulse has gotten many compliments for the best sounding system at the How Weird Street Faire and it's all due to the hard work of this team. We are excited to have them back.

On the deco side we are excited to welcome Manny and Cosmic Vision. A frequent feature at Heaven on Earth, StarCamps Shasta and Goa Gil Cosmic Vision has created some eye popping psychedelic thematic scenes in recent years

We are coming in strong for this How Weird next month and it's definitely one you won't want to miss.

For everyone wondering. This is still on tomorrow night. Same lineup, same hours.

Being the bearer of bad news always sucks... But unfortunately How Weird 2024 is being postponed.
After several days of meticulously tracking and reviewing the storm system this weekend the organization at How Weird has made the prudent safety driven call to reschedule the event.
Pulse is of course heartbroken as we really had some serious magic planned but we stand by the organizations decision as safety and welfare must absolutely come first.
But.. This is just a postponement. The Faire will be back this year at a later date and we will try our best to deliver this same lineup if all aligns with everyones schedules.

05/01/2024

Time slots dropped today‼️ Make your plans and schedule your day because this How Weird is going to be something else.

The Psy doesn't end when How Weird closes up shop this year!

Having listened to the scene feedback these past couple of years we were dedicated this time to providing something more adult and community focused as an after party and decompression option.
Pulse will be bringing in outside sound and deco to Buzzworks to enhance the environment and sonic experience for this and we hope on a night of many choices you'll join us in raising a few as we keep things going.

04/27/2024

Did someone after party? The Pulse team has been hard at work in the background to do something to keep party going in a fun, vibey and adult atmosphere when we are done in the streets.
Stay tuned for lineup and venue information on Monday.

Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings from Pulse SF and Pulse LA. We promised a Christmas gift today and here it is... Pulse shall carry on in 2022.

A new logo, events and team growth is coming in 2022 but rest assured that everything you all have come to know and love about Pulse SF and Pulse LA shall indeed carry on.
