Following on from our epic Spirit of Acid Jazz club nights in Brighton we’re back at the Waterbear Venue on Saturday November 22nd for an all day Party not to be missed!Once again, firmly rooted in the Freedom Principle, we’ll be taking a musical journey back to the heady days of the early 90’’s.
Expect an uplifting all vinyl mix of Funk, Soul and Hip Hop with Jazz and Disco on a lush Funktion One sound system.
Originating in UK clubland in the late 80’s and combining elements of the Rare Groove and Jazz Dance scenes the Acid Jazz movement blended Jazz chops with Funk grooves, Hip Hop Rhythms, and Soul swagger sound tracking clubs all over the globe.
A myriad of live acts emerged including Jamiroquai , The Brand New Heavies, Galliano, James Taylor Quartet, Incognito, The Digable Planets, Incognito, Young Disciples and many more.
Brighton was at the forefront of the Acid Jazz scene at the time with Russ Dewbury’s "Jazz Bop" live event showcasing many of these artists to packed out crowds 2000 strong! His Brighton Jazz Rooms club nights rocked the sound at the weekends.
Come and join us on Saturday November 22nd as Russ reunites with guest DJ Simon Richmond (Palm Skin Productions - Mo Wax/Tru Thoughts Records) who returns after a legendary set last time out! Palm Skin Productions were an integral part of the early 90’s music scene releasing many cuts for James Lavelle’s legendary Mo Wax Records. Simon continues to take the Palm Skin sound forward recently signing to Brighton’s very own Tru Thoughts Records. We’re delighted to have Live Percussion maestro Tim “Bongos”Mercer joining us again too.
Come to Dance!
