Ok, this is for sure people; when DJ BBRAVE from AKWAABA Records is in the place, the dance floor drips with sweat! Those Kuduru and other Angolan,
West African and world rhythms kept the spot on fire until
JEREMY SOLE jumped on the decks and the legendary NAJITE
joined him on percussion. As always, GLENN RED sparked the
whole affair with power and tact. Another heavy night for the books!
It was WONDERFUL to have ROCKY DAWUNI back in the room
as well chatting up the crowd!
 
This week we welcome back an amazing DJ from Brazil !
Get ready to shake that nash!

guest deejay:
DJ MAGA BO
Maga Bo is a producer/DJ based in Rio de Janeiro , Brazil . His work spans the breadth of international urban bass music from hip hop and kwaito to baile funk and jungle ragga to dub, grime and dubstep with flares of samba, rai, bhangra, cumbia, skewed electronic beats and loudspeaker jitter.
 
His live performances are a hybrid mix of DJ set and live PA where he mixes diverse sounds culled from pirate cassettes bought on the street in various parts of the world, MP3s from the internet, obscure vinyl found in underground shops, original beats, unreleased remixes and exclusive tracks. Divergent sources are combined and mixed live in a dubwise
fashion with a DJ's feel for the dance floor and the hip hop mentality of creating by re-contextualizing. Projected video and photo images from his travels and recording sessions bring an extra visual dimension to the music.
