First Copenhagen Soul Weekender, Aug 24-27, went by toooo fast! We are so amazed at the fab crowd that turned up from all over the world, the three talented guys behind the idea (John Berchtold, Ash Pederick – who designed the amazing poster – and Andreas Beraha), and the cool venues the events took place in. A great start for a festival that already got so much soul!
We had a blast at this summer’s Voodoo festival in Italy! Lukino Ungawa, our favourite festival magician, managed to throw a great party in a fab location once again. And we had the honour to do a guest appearance at the fun Sunday pool party!
We had a fab night as NYC-based dj Sheila B. made a stop in Copenhagen on her European tour, invited by John Berchtold to Mesteren and laerlingen. She made the Danish crowd go crazy by spinning some stunning tunes from her vast collection! Great meeting her and getting the opportunity to bring her a little Swedish souvenir: Sylvia Vrethammar’s cover of Son of a preacher man in Swedish. It was later played by Sheila on her amazing radio show at wfmu.org We loved your set, Sheila!
What a great rock’n’roll party on a boat cruising the Italian “Mississippi” river Po on July 23! Legendary Lukino Ungawa put on what will probably be known as the best r’n’r party of this year in Italy. We had the honor of sharing the decks (on deck) with mythical Londonbased Heavy Sugar club duo, Fritz Buzzsaw and Adam Diddy Wah, and of course Italian colleagues Marilù Machete and Poltro.
Great bands on board were The Jackets (CH), Plutonium Baby (I), The Dots (I) and Hollywood Playboys (I)!
Mamma mia, we loved Tequila Twist Italian style so bad we had to get another Italian top dj to join us for the April edition! Dj Aladino is leaving spring warm Florence to join us on the Swedish “bonfire” night on April 30 at Moriskan. It’s gonna get hot, folks!
A frequent dj at important international festivals such as Summer Jamboree, Get Rhythm, Vintage Roots, Rollin and tumblin r&b club in Milan, Juke Joint The boogie in the Dark (Ravensburg), Tear it up Festival (Croatia), Git Hit split (Munich), Hangar Rockin (Ch). He is also the creator and resident dj of the club nights “Shake Around” in his hometown – Florence. His sounds range from wild rockabilly to desperate rock’n ‘ roll for a great dancing record hop.
Time to party at the vibrant Tequila Twist Rock’n’roll Club! This time we’ll shake our butts and spin those 45’s Italian style, with our guest dj Lo Sfregiato, from the Sbarbari Klan! Don’t miss out this Saturday, people!
