IBE 15 Year Anniversary

Heading out to Heerlen, The Netherlands tomorrow to take part in the IBE 15 Year Anniversary Festival.  One of the many portions of the festival that I'll be involved in is the Wax On, Wax Off vinyl DJ tent.  Looking forward to to great time this weekend.

Soul City Recap

Had a great time a few weeks back DJ'ing at Soul City in Tilburg, the Netherlands.  It was my first time visiting the town I realized just how different it was from other cities in the Netherlands that I had been to but also equally amazing.  I found out a lot of history about the city and it's definitely on my to do list of going back and checking out the city, museums and other things they have to offer.

Anyway, Soul City was an incredible party with a great crowd of people you and older all enjoying the classic sounds coming out of the speakers.  From Disco and Boogie, to the Soul stylings of Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder to James Brown and more.

Funk Club 045 at IBE

This past weekend at IBE in Heerlen, The Netherlands, my brother Rob Manga and I had the honor of curating one of the tents for the weekends festivities.  Along with festival's organizers we came up with Funk Club 045 and we then placed in charge of handpicking the lineup of vinyl DJ specialists.  Everything from Afrobeat to Soul, Jazz to Hip Hop, Boogie to Funk and everything in between was played for a packed crowd while the sun was shining and a few diehards that decided to dance the day away while others took to the insides waiting for the storm to pass.  On behalf of the IBE festival organizers, Rob Manga and myself, we'd like to thank all of the DJ's that rocked with us as well as all of the attendees at the festival.
