No, it’s not a Raheem mixtape done by this guy, although I wouldn’t be mad at that (’sup Lil Mic).

It’s just a little Valentine’s Day edition of Decipher from the good ‘PFW studios. (subscribe/iTunes)

Been having a good time lately. You should tune in.

Book was on WPGC duty and I didn’t really have any options. In a stroke of fate, New Year’s Eve fell on a Monday, which is Jamil’s regular residency at Marvin. That was a good look because he’s been slogging through some soul-sucking gigs as of late. “Full creative control” on New Year’s Eve had him giddy like Geoffrey Holder in Boomerang. I was just going to show up, chill and watch the homie black out on the decks but he proposed we make it a Soul Controller throwdown. Didn’t have to ask me twice.

Crowd was mixed, nobody paid a dime to get through the door, folks were partying and looking nice without having to be instructed to do so by a dress code. Isn’t that what a NYE party should be? My only regret is not having a mic to catch the roar of the dancefloor, makes the track mutes in the recordings sound silly. One women told us that “it’s time for you to play some mainstream hip-hop now.” We declined gracefully.

Part 1:
Setting the mood for the jump-off. “Champion Requiem” at a New Year’s Eve party? Whoa. Marvin Gaye makes the first of several appearances… ‘cuz we at Marvin.

Jamil drops Cee-Lo’s “I’ll Be Around” right at midnight. Booties start shaking and moving all around. Somehow we get to “Sounds Like” and “Golpe Duro Calinda”. No mercy and no prisoners. Can you feel it?!

More from the Soulful Party Peoples’ Holy Trinity of Jackson progeny, Prince and Stevie. The latin diaspora gets more love along with the Black President

Tryna slow it down but bammas ain’t tryna stop partying. That’s cool. 4am ain’t no thing.

Now you know that Soul Controllers have a podcast too. You should check it out.

WEDNESDAY, NOV 14
Before “Back to Black”, there was “FRANK”. Join us for the re-release of Winehouse’s first cd. The listening session will include The Soul Controllers spinning an uncompromised set in between the listening, giveaways and more! The party starts at 8pm and this event is FREE and open to the public.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16
Beaujolais Nouveau
Wine and cheese party featuring a mix of electronic muzette music. Simone Marchand on vocals, DJ Stylus aux platines.
Alliance Francaise
2142 Wyoming Avenue NW | Washington, DC 20008
6:30 PM - 9:30 PM
General Admission: $33, AF Members $26, students enrolled in the Fall and /or Winter session: $21 (for this price you may only reserve by telephone).

Evoking the spirit of “bal populaire” and vintage French parties, acclaimed French vocalist Simone Marchand will perform our favorite Edith Piaf songs, including “Milord”, “La vie en rose”, “Je ne regrette rien” and other famous hits of the same era. Her deep belief in these tunes from French Songs Glory Days, together with her own vibrant stage presence make Simone Marchand the most incredible performer of France’s musical patrimony.

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.
