Music : Soulful House, Deep House, US House, US Garage, Disco, Soul and Rare Groove
Soul City flies back for an extravaganza of a Christmas Party. Expect mistletoe, party hats, egg-nog and boogieliscious beats.
We wanted a real paaaaaaaa-rty. You know, the one where everyone is jumping around, hands in the air and the biggest smile on their face. Its Christmas, its time to have fun. And who better to spin the party sounds than the Million Dollar man himself, the legendary AL KENT! Having already played with us twice before, we know he's ace, he has LOTS of disco records, and everytime he plays them, the crowd goes nuts. Fact. When he's not teaching people the hustle, or spinning around the world, or conducting his Million Dollar Orchestra, he's compiling rare disco compilations for us lucky folk to feed on. Check out the excellent Disco Demands Volume One, available at www.milliondollardisco.com
Alongside the don of disco grooves we have two party nuts from Manchester - perfect guests for Soul City - UNDER THE STAIRS: Tom Lynch (also of Sheffield 's Pin-Up Club) & Chris Feinmann (also of the NHS). They started in September 2004 as a underground basement party (sound familiar?) for soulful misfits looking for a place to party. Siice then the event has been skulking around a veritable plethora of Basements and Attic spaces with the mission of bringing quality music to the city.
After many months of successful residents parties, the bald, but ever-charming UTS boysdecided to flex their business biceps and bring in some entertainment from accross the pond. Before they knew it Chris and Tom were playing host to the world's greatest live house band, Tortured Soul, followed by parties with Danny Krivit & Joe Claussell, Franck Roger, Quentin Harris and Alix Alvarez.
We are exepecting mayhem, and can't wait to see the battle with them and our resssies.....who, as always will be spinnin the soul city sound - your residents of the cellar eatmysoul and KING LOUIE. Fresh from a very drunken outing to Madame Jo Jo's where we avoided upsetting the trannies, but didn't avoid the stella, and played some crackin tunes, they will be rippin it up and maybe not starting again, but certainly playing records.
We literally can't wait. And coz we have no NYE party this year, we're hoping it will be extra fun and festive for everyone.
So, for the final time this year, come and help us keep it soulful in the city.
Cheers
Willy & Louie
