That explains why tickets are already being snapped up for the group&#8217;s return on Friday, Aug. 10. <span id="more-38992"></span></p>
<p>The announcement of Sonnymoon&#8217;s show comes as a surprise for a couple of reasons. First, the East Coast band seemed to getting to the South Bay about once a year, with more excitement around their arrival each time. But Anna Wise, one half of the founding duo along with Dane Orr, is from NorCal, and the group has been spending more time in California. Secondly, the show, which brings them back to the Pagoda, is actually part of San Jose Jazz&#8217;s Summer Fest this weekend, and is being billed as &#8220;Jazz Beyond.&#8221; The show is free with festival admission, but even the separate, non-festival tickets are going fast. </p>
<p>After the Sonnymoon show (which begins at 8:30pm), the Pagoda will host a second Summer Fest-related event, &#8220;After Hours at the Pagoda.&#8221; Julius Papp and The Selector DJ Kirk will perform from 10pm-1:30pm. Tickets are also free with Summer Fest admission, $10 without. On Saturday, the Pagoda will host another &#8220;After Hours&#8221; show, this time featuring top San Francisco DJ J Boogie. </p>

To him, 108 to 115 beats per minute has been a lost tempo in EDM for too long. </p>
<p>“It’s not super fast, it’s not super slow,” says Boland. “It’s that mid-level, that boogie stepper’s level, like you’re getting warmed up on the dance floor.” <span id="more-19902"></span></p>
<p>As one of the Bay Area’s top DJs, Boland was influential in bringing the moombahton and moombahsoul styles to the Bay Area, after adopting them as his favorite new sounds. His authoritative take on the music was acknowledged when he contributed a track to a moombahsoul compilation produced by David Heartbreak, who pretty much created the sound out of the framework of moombahton (which itself didn’t officially exist as the bastard love child of EDM and reggaeton until two years ago—although Diplo might not agree—and didn’t break until last summer). </p>
<p>At his show at the Pagoda this week, he’ll demonstrate his knack for combining them with classic genres for a very different musical experience. </p>

He performed every day at South By Southwest, and then at Miami’s Winter Music Conference. Next week, he’ll come to Pagoda Lounge in San Jose as part of a benefit for scholarships at the School of Arts and Culture in East Side San Jose. <span id="more-19122"></span></p>
<p>J Boogie, aka Justin Boland, got his start as a college DJ with the popular “Beatsauce” show on KUSF, and broke with his 2003 debut album that featured guest artists like Goapele and People Under the Stairs. As a club DJ, he now plays all over the world. </p>
<p>On April 6, he’ll come to Pagoda for a special D1ME night that’s been redubbed with the pronunciation “Dee-may,” which means “tell me” in Spanish. The point of this particular show is to highlight the work of the new School of Arts and Culture at the Mexican Heritage Plaza, and it’s expected to be the first of many D1ME benefits for various worthy causes in the community.</p>
<p>Also at this show, Oakland’s Los Rakas will perform their Spanish-language hip-hop. The group is cousins Raka Dun and Raka Rich, who draw on reggae, dancehall and future bass in their cross-cultural style. </p>
<p><em>D1ME will be held Friday, April 6 at the Pagoda in San Jose, 9pm; $5-$10 sliding scale. </em></p>
