Tonight is 'The Succinctly Named Roller Skating Party Featuring Moodymann and Horse Meat Disco, We Called It This Because We Thought It Would Be a Clever Pun On The De La Soul Track' or for short 'A Roller Skating Jam Named Red Bull Music Academy'
I am mad excited for this, not only is it a too rare appearance by Moodymann in England, he's also bringing a bunch of Detroit's roller-boogiers old enough to play board games (aged 8-80) over from Detroit.
"Roller disco culture is a passion for mythical deep house renegade Moodymann. Known for preserving the rich heritage of Afro-American (sub-)culture with the utmost respect, he’s done more to keep the roller disco phenomenon alive than any other human being on the planet with his Detroit regular Soul Skate. For this very special session at South London’s Renaissance Rooms, he’ll not only bring a box full of classic skating rink jams with him, but also ten of the motor city’s most notorious four-wheeled dancers between 8 and 80 years of age. They’ve continuously supported him at the original Soul Skate and will now leave the US, some even for the first time in their lives. Also on the bill: the frontrunners of London’s current disco revival, the infamous Horse Meat Disco. More than just a damn good night out, this is a true tribute to the soul we will never ever lose."
Last time I saw Moodymann was at Electric Chair in Manchester, so if it's anything like that but with roller skates, it's going to be wheely good... (sorry.)
(ps. Pat Les Stache from American Athlete did a cracking edit of this which is still available on 12" BUY IT!)
There may still be tickets on the door but sadly pre-sales have sold out.
For those going - I'll see you on the floor... literally!
Such a fun event... more of this is needed!
ReplyDeleteDefo! It's such a nice change from 'get off yer face culture' to 'fall on yer face culture'.
