BLOW UP San Francisco is ready for some new and exciting DJs, dancing, and fun! Saturday August 7th. Along with A-Trak, the legendary Peanut Butter Wolf will be spinning for all of us at Kelly’s Mission Rock, in the new and improved outdoor area.
As for his history, Chris Manak grew up in the south bay, San Jose to be exact. At about the age of 9 he discovered his love for hip-hop… Wonder how he came across that particular name? His girlfriends younger brother was always so afraid of the “peanut butter wolf monster”. According Manak, the kid was afraid of the monster more than death itself! Funny huh?
Anyway… as he was starting out he and his friend Charizma were soon touring Europe and getting much press. Hitting magazines like Billboard and Urb, and even meeting with legends Sway and King Tech of the Wake Up Show. They also performed with artists such as House of Pain, The Pharcyde, and Nas!! Peanut Butter Wolf successfully went on to create the “Peanut Butter Breaks” which led him to other DJ’s like Rob Swift and Q-bert.
Peep some old school shit from Peanut Butter Wolf and Charizma back in the days!
In 1996, he founded Stones Throw Records. Which is now the home of several amazing artists. Dam-Funk, the late J Dilla, J Rocc, Quasimoto, Madvillain, and Mayer Hawthorne just to name a few. These days Peanut Butter Wolf is taking a break from producing and keeps it moving with his DJ sets AND even deejaying music videos. Traveling all over the world, and helping his record label grow even stronger.
