DJ GREYBOY
San Diego's good son DJ Greyboy played a significant part in cultivating the West Coast acid jazz and rare groove scenes in the early '90s--which in turn led to his present-day explorations in jazz-inspired hiphop. Sharpshooters' DJ Sureshot is also on the bill, so this should be an evening of smooth, solid grooves. Baltic Room, 1207 Pine St, 625-4444, 9:30 pm-2 am, 21+, $10.
FRIDAY JUNE 6
STYLUS: WALLY CALLERIO AND RICK PRESTON
Wally Callerio's deep house mix tapes Propaganda and Diggin' Deep (on Dufflebag Records) are a couple of the few old relics still in rotation on my trusty Panasonic--the fabulous mixes and great track selections stand the test of time and technology. Also on the bill is Viva Records' Rick Preston. Deep Down Lounge, 126 S Jackson St, 682-3242, 9 pm-2 am, 21+, $5 before 11 pm.
SATURDAY JUNE 7

Attention, all of you large-room rave casualties: Bill Hamel is a prominent contributor to the progressive house scene, recently heightening his profile with remixes for Justin Timberlake and trance deity Paul Oakenfold.

Noiselab, 323-2189, 925 E Pike St, 9 pm-3 am, 18+, $13.
MONDAY JUNE 9
