Ritual is forever thankful to the hundreds of people that join us every week. You are the ones that make this party so much fun. After 2 1/2 years of taking San Francisco by storm, we have become one of the largest dubstep weeklies in the country thanks to your dedication and love of music.
Ritual has legendary performers grace the DJ booth every week and also gives many new comers the chance to shine and share their gift.
This is an experience that is fueled by the people, and is made strong by the love for each other, life, music and dance. The Ritual family is one that is ever growing and we strive to make everyone feel welcome, whether you are a newbie, or a long time die hard. If you have never been to one of our events, feel free to make yourself at home and introduce yourself to the crew.

J:KENZO
soundcloud.com/jkenzo
DJ/Producer J:Kenzo is sought after player within the Dubstep scene. Dub Dread Vibes with echoes of Jungle and Techno reflect in both his Productions and DJ Sets, which are built to test the toughest of Soundsystems and rock the hardest of dancefloors. J:Kenzo takes pride in his DJ sets with a heavyweight selection applying seemless blending and double drop mixing.
His first vinyl release 'Tekno Bass' dropped in 2008 and from then he has seen his productions appear on some of the founding labels in the Dubstep scene such as Dub Police, Argon Records, 2nd Drop and his own imprint Soul Shakerz.
In Late 2010 his tracks caught the ear of veteren Dubstep DJ and Tempa A&R man DJ Youngsta. With support from Youngsta, J:Kenzo's 2011 production 'The Roteks' was received by Dubstep audiences world wide with great anticipation. Sparking mass debates on internet forums and social networking sites as to the forthcoming release, which soon happened under the pioneering Dubstep label Tempa. This release backed with flipside 'Protected' boosted Kenzo's name within the scene and has had support from many of the top selectors within Dubstep such as Hatcha, N-Type, Distance and Emalkay to name a few, as well as veteren Techno DJ Laurent Garnier.
More recently J:Kenzo has been approached by BBC 1Xtra to carry out a fortnightly 1 Hour mix for Mistajam's Daily Dose of Dubstep section. Showcasing exclusive dubplates and Kenzo's take on the sound he is pushing from the Dubstep scene.
His fan base, commitment and professional approach has seen his touring pick up with huge pace. With resident sets at leading Dubstep night 'FWD' and London's prestigious 'Fabric' nightclub, touring a number of cities around Europe as well as stretching out to the United States you'll find the heat is steadily rising around the Kent-based selector.
