"I make music for the Dj’s, I make music for the House, I make music for the Pressure, I make music for the Art, and I make music for the Love. I make music for myself, and I make music for others, I make music for the Dancefloor and I make music for under the covers. I make music to experiment, and I make music to explore. I make all types of music, but especially that 4 on the floor." Derek Anthony, aka PADRE BLESS has been exploring all fronts of electronic dance music for 10 years + now, transitioning between styles and influences and keeping it interesting for club-goers and “heads” alike. Making house and techno & electronica constantly reinventing himself again and again over the past few years. Lately, Padre has been focusing on collaborations and a dynamic live/hybrid set focusing on keeping it fun, upbeat, nostalgic and groovy. The year 2026 marks a year of his San Francisco CA residency at the legendary Sunday party at Monroe lounge SF. The name of the party, ‘Upward’, suits Padre perfectly as he’s positivity, determination and outlook is very much in an Upward motion. Guests include local talent and artists he’s most inspired by at the moment. Like always, with Padre, the best is yet to come, as he shows no signs of slowing down. Stay tuned!
