+ CROSSOVER + MODERN SOUL + BOOGIE + DISCO +
+ LATIN GROOVES + WE DOIN’ THE DAMN THING +
Featuring the discerning tastes and 45s of: +GEORGE RODRIGUEZ +
George needs no introduction in the rare soul and funk community. A founding member of LA’s Angel City Soul Club, George does double duty with a residency at the Twin Cities’ longest running soul and funk monthly, Hipshaker. George is also a regular in the soul weekender scene, having appeared at the Soulastatic Soul Club (Gothenburg, Sweden) and Emerald City Soul Club (Seattle, WA) weekenders, and will be dropping heat (literally) at the much anticipated Deep Cliffs Weekender (Southern Portugal) this July. George boasts a Northern and rare soul collection not just to envy, but to dance to -- only style and substance with this guy, and we’re stoked he’s joining us.
+ JOE CRISTANDO & ALSTON PARESA +
These Brooklyn young guns are masters of the craft of digging -- anytime, anywhere, they are perpetually turning up scorchers. From their monthly “Couple Two T’ree” at Manhattan’s much-hyped Mr. Fong’s to their weekly internet radio session on the Lot Radio (www.thelotradio.com), they’ve continued to push the envelope on what is DJ- and dance-worthy soul and funk music, and we’re excited to get a taste. A couple, two, t’ree heads are gonna turn with their selections, we assure you.
+ MATT STOUT & MICHAEL SARETSKY +
Resident DJs and promoters in Oakland’s Silver & Black Soul Club and SF’s Alcatraz Soul Club, these guys love soul and funk music, and more importantly love a good party. Round 1 at Starline in February was awesome * ding * ding * ding * they’re amped for Round 2!
WHAT: Killer evening of soul, funk, and more on 45 rpm vinyl. Dancing guaranteed. Boozing likely. Photobooth mandatory!
