"Thursdays have had such lively and positive energy lately. Good people getting down from 9pm until the 2am when the lights come on. Last week, J.Sole and Glenn Red did their thing as usual, and SUN TZU SOUND came through from Seattle and handled it whole-heartedly with a super solid set! Remi Kabaka of Osibisa fame stopped through AGAIN and blessed us with some amazing talking drums solos. You just never know who is going to turn up and want to jam. Shout outs to Jazzanova & Universal Music for their phat new record we did a listening party for! When the clock strikes midnight this coming Thursday, it will officially be Halloween,and our weekly ritual transforms into AFRO FUNKENSTEIN! Spooky sounds from around the world, with a VERY special guest to boot...plus a DVD screening (with sound) from one of the best Reggae groups of all time. Come early! Don't miss this!! Giveaways! ------------------:~0~:--------------------- Afrobeat, Brazilian, Dub, Reggae, Cumbia, Samba Disco, African Salsa, Afro-Latin House, Indian Beats, Makossa, Balkan, Funk, Blues, Highlife, Broken-Afro-Beat, Salsa, & Other deep-rooted soul music from around the world ------------------:~0~:--------------------- guest deejay: VIKTER DUPLAIX (KISS N' GRIND / BBE) Vikter, a Philadelphia native, began his career early studying music and singing in touring choirs with legendary artists such as Teddy Pendergrass and Luciano Pavarotti. His DJ skills were honed with Philly legends Jazzy Jeff and King Britt and was mentored in the fine art of business by none other than Philadelphia International's own Kenny Gamble. Vikter is a founding member of Philly's Axis Music Group, a music production house shared with Grammy award winner James Poyser and executive Chauncey Childs. His introduction to the global music scene came in 2000 with his installment of K7!'s DJ Kicks series, which show cased his vocal stylings and musical taste. In 2002, Vikter released his first full-length artist project titled "International Affairs" on Hollywood Records. The CD garnered critical acclaim.
His production work continues to defy genre as he creates soundscapes for artists as diverse as Earth, Wind and Fire, Jazzanova, Norman Brown, Nitin Sawhney, King Britt, Bob James, N'dea Davevenport (Brand New Heavies), Ladybug Mecca (Digable Planets), and Spacek. He is even reworking Radiohead's "Tree Fingers" from their massively acclaimed LP "Amnesiac" for the BBE Records tribute to the London-based phenoms. www. vikterduplaix. com + DVD screening: BLACK UHURU “LIVE IN LONDON” 9PM SHARP! Black Uhuru is one of the top groups to rise out of Jamaica’s culturally-rich reggae scene. The word Uhuru, meaning “freedom” in Swahili, has certainly been a theme in the timeless music Black Uhuru has produced. Black Uhuru started in 1968 when three young men, Euvin “Don Carlos” Spencer, Rudolph “Garth” Dennis and Derrick “Duckie” Simpson, all from a tough neighborhood called Waterhouse, decided to record music. However, the group did not last long as Don left to pursue a solo career while Garth joined another group. “Duckie” Simpson held on to the dream and soon found an up and coming singer named Mykal Rose. They along with Errol Nelson, a singer from another group, recorded the group’s first studio album “Black Sounds of Freedom” with renowned reggae producer King Jammy. In the late 70’s Duckie added American singer Sandra “Puma” Jones to join Black Uhuru. With the death of reggae king Bob Marley in the 80s, it was assumed by many that reggae music and its popularity had passed with him. That impression was short lived when Black Uhuru released the album “Red”. The triple platinum album was named the “24th Best Album” of the decade by Rolling Stone magazine. www. myspace. com/blackuhur resident deejay: JEREMY SOLE www. myspace. com/musaics *hear Sole on KCRW (or kcrw. com) Wednesdays nights 12-3am www. myspace. com/branchesradio

Best known as torchbearers of the rising brokenbeat scene, SunTzu is fueled by a faithful following in the Northwest and beyond. The crew’s tireless efforts have made them an indispensable mainstay in Seattle, where they regularly book and promote top-shelf international talent and serve as the weekly hosts of Friday night’s City Soul on KBCS 91.3 FM.
