FRESH UP / TONIC LOUNGE: THIS WEEKEND!

This weekend presents two opportunities to hear the finest funky music in Sydney.

Friday 24th April sees the tried and tested Fresh Up night get funky. Located at the Loft bar @ UTS, the venue is a relaxed mix of pub and club only a stones throw away from central Station. Expect head nodding and booty-shaking funk with plenty of music that will remind you of your favourite hip-hop artists.

Saturday 25th I’m back at Tonic Lounge spinning killer funk, soul and a smattering of obscure disco for the dance floor. Expect to hear things like the rare extended version of Chicago’s ‘Street Player’, the hard funk of Roger and the Gypsies ‘Pass the Hatchet’ (a new Orleans funk bomb produced by Eddie Bo) as well as staple classics from Cameo, James Brown, Brass Construction, Lou Courtney, the Bamboos and many more. Check back here after the date for a new mix from one of these nights. I haven't decided which yet!

Hope to see you there.
