Queensday gig & another digging holiday

Three things going on right now. First, I’m in the finishing stages of the fourth installment of the Funk 45s mixtape series. This time it’s going to be an hour of laidback, drug use and lovemaking inducing funk, soul & R&B burners. Just keep an eye on my blog and www.welovewefunk.nl.

Second, I’ve got a crate digging / nature park camping trip to the States planned for next month. Will visit the cities of Detroit, Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake City, Portland, Sacramento and San Francisco. And the beautiful countryside in between. Will bring some heavy heavy funk back to Holland for sure. Can’t wait!

And third, partypeople in Eindhoven do not need to go to Amsterdam on Queensday, April 30. Your wining, dining and dancing needs will be satisfied at the Klokgebouw square, next to Skatepark Area51. weLOVEweFUNK ft. DEES, the Frantic Friday DJs and Zieke Zuiden Hiphop will provide the tunes. Music starts at 10:00 AM, until dark and beyond. See y’all there!

AND, the next regular weLOVEweFUNK party will be on June 8. We’ll have a very special guest indeed, and a musical theme for this night that is close to my heart. Verrrrry close!

Last-minute show-up

Tomorrow I get to spin some 45s at the releaseshow of my friends in The Risque, a Eindhoven-based indie band. Their support act, Richie Dagger, have their roots in bands such as Hooghwater, Reactionaries and Restless Youth. Showtime is 22:00, expect some 60s deep soul and raw funk from 02:00 till late.

I totally forgot to put up the flyer for the party of my friend Hence Dupree two weeks ago, a mucho talented DJ from the city of Arnhem. He spins some totally unexpected mixes of old soul, hiphop and beats – you better check him out in a club near you sometime soon.
