For some reason I was playing reeeaally aggressively. Deep Sang was playing schmoove so it balances out. Mission accomplished. The crowd got toasty but we hit them with a completely different manner of ordnance than what Z-Trip came with. Got the dancefloor popping but didn’t peak it out early. That’s how you carry the first leg.

Mad level, balance and distortion issues on this but I promised to post it. Maybe it’ll take you back to the cassette days, true house party style.

Nope, the rock star himself Z-Trip isn’t on this recording. Just make sure you catch him live at the next possible opportunity.

This year’s “Black President’s Day” celebration will not only honor Afrobeat creator Fela Kuti, but will also give to a worthy area cause. Metro TeenAIDS is a community health organization dedicated to supporting young people in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Through education, support, and advocacy, MTA works to prevent the spread of HIV, promote responsible decision making, and improve the quality of life for young people infected with, or affected by, HIV/AIDS.

Much like last year there will be music, visuals and the spirit of one of Nigeria’s most noted artists of all times. The added plus for this year’s bash is the presence of Philly-based DJ and Afrobeat maestro, Rich Medina. The co-founder of Jump-N-Funk and producer of the new AfroDisco party, which premieres on Monday, October 15th, Rich is highly celebrated for his contribution to the movement that pushes Afrobeat music and culture. The event also features The Soul Controllers‘ “dynamic duo”, DJs Stylus and JaHsonic with special guest, I-Wah, “the Beat Priest” and the incomparable Painted Lady Performance Project is back with a fitting tribute to the women that framed Fela’s life and music. As always a portion of the door proceeds will be donated to a charity working on HIV/AIDS awareness in Africa. RSVP at events@lilsoso.com.
