Camp Debonair IV

Camp Debonair returns for our fourth rendition of the now-and-again jam that’s conjuring up dancefloor magic around Brooklyn. This time we’re moving to a spacious loft space on North 6th street in Williamsburg BK. More importantly, we’ll be playing humble hosts to …the legendary rare-groove DJ Peter Reyes from Newark, NJ! We’ll be covering a fair amount of ground as it’s been a handful of lunar cycles since Camp has gathered. Expect a taste of the classics and keep an open mind for the fringes of modern soul, deep disco, blissed-out boogie and other sounds fitting the Camp party ethos.

FREE before midnight / $5 after … full cash-only bar …. going LATE

Cocktail Hour Starts at 10pm.

A special counselors get-together will be aired on A Downtown Affair on 89.1FM / wnyu.org on Friday the 27th; tune in for a special preview from the four of us mixing live from 10:30pm-1:00am.

Stepping into the Fog @ Tandem – Sat. 3/26

Tackleberry and I are delighted to be taking over our good friend Mikie Lixxx’s residency Bionic Boogie while he’s out on the West Coast. Mikie’s been on the program a few times over the past twelve months, and his shindig at Tandem is always blasting off – sometimes with digital fireworks, and always surefire dance floor pleasure. It’s been a few months since we’ve played out so we’ll be pulling records accordingly, and keeping in tune with his uptempo, party-centric vibe.

Come by next Saturday night @ Tandem in Bushwick Brooklyn (236 Troutman Street). It’s a 10pm start and we’ll be going ’til close in the back, with the fog and full club stereo!!!
