The Rhythm
What's that sound -- hands clapping, feet stomping, shouts filling the air. Bass pumping, cymbals crashing, breaks raising your hair. That sound is Devotion -- A true movement - a congregation of glad souls, dedicated to the invocation of Dance Music as a feeling and the joyous Spirit within. No one who steps through our doors and onto the dance floor will be denied their passage to the keys of Life: Freedom, Happiness and Love.
Devotion is a journey to the center of Belief -- Belief in Unity, in Understanding and in Musical Passion. All styles, all peoples, all loves are welcomed into Devotion, as we celebrate our future and underscore our past through the rhythms of our History and the thrilling Sound of Now.
"And, you see, no one owns House because House Music is a universal language spoken and understood by all." -Chuck Roberts

The Music
Leading Devotion's campaign to explore the recent musical expansions of Spiritual Dance Music through a revival of its rhythmic past is Ruben Mancias, a 15 year veteran and legendary presence cultivated from the San Francisco dance music realm. DJ, musician, producer, activist and friend, Ruben has worked tirelessly to keep the legacy of the music alive -- from the ecstatic energy of his sets to the fierce determination of his record label, Devotion Records, to promote the very latest music that keeps everyone's hands in the air. Along with his partner, Eric B., and a backing choir of guest luminaries that include: Louie Vega, Joe Claussell, Jellybean Benitez, Ruben Toro, Danny Krivit, Kerri Chandler, Teddy Douglas, Kenny Bobien, Monique Bingham, Luis Radio, Frankie Feliciano and countless others, Ruben consistently turns the floor out for hundreds of devoted fans. He's the man in the booth who leads his party into the Right Hand, through an organic mix of Latin, African and Electro beats overlaid with rapturous vocals and sensuous fades. The records his paint and the dance floor his canvas, life has never sounded so good as it does with Ruben on the decks.
"They're marching all over the world in unity -- a powerful thing.." - Ruben Mancias and Michelle Weeks
The Soul
Devotion is one of only a handful of events in the United States committed to celebrating the spirit of Dance and respecting the floor by producing and promoting music that stays true to the Underground Nation -- which doesn't mean it's not a sweatin' sexy party. Like legendary movements such as "Paradise Garage", "Music Box" & "Body & Soul", Devotion the club and Devotion the label raise consciousness by tearing off the roof.
These are the times, especially, when the children of Jack need a lift of Inspiration, to hear the less-heard Voices testifying to a deeper Love; to get some Jump back in their Motivation. Transcendence of your earthly troubles through Commitment to a greater Harmony -- that's what Devotion's all about.
