When I see events like this they scare me in a way. It is because there is a "dance floor"- EEEeeee!- the word sends chills down my spine because I have never been able to dance. I come from a long line of uptight Dutch ancestry with deeply embedded stoic DNA that forbids my body to move in any kind of fluid or rhythmic way. I can move in a comedic way, that's about it. In fact, I can barely bob my head to a punk band that is how fucked up I am. So, for the rest of you check out this amazing event co-sponsored by LA Record. If I can muster the courage I might even attend. If you see a frightened looking bald man in the corner with eyes has large as saucers then come over and pull me to the dance floor as I need to get over my condition.

September 25 at Los Globos, FEVER Party #7
with SUZANNE KRAFT, BBRAVE, AND SAN GABRIEL
|
THIS MONTH'S FEVER welcomes guest DJ from Ghana BBRAVE. We've got SUZANNE KRAFT performing live music from his new album (out
that very day!). And one of our favorite multi-talented artists, Butchy
Fuego will deliver a set as SAN GABRIEL. The dance floor will be filled
with tropical otherworldly sounds.
SAN GABRIEL
San Gabriel is the new forward-thinking beat project from the
multi-instrumentalist/producer Butchy Fuego. Full of warped and pulsing
pan-global club music; a signature marriage of tropical riddims, dubbed
out soundscapes, and modern R&B minimalism. Striking the perfect
balance of booming bass and tricky rhythms, his debut album VOLFE makes
for some serious sideways heat.
BBRAVE
dip into this world traveler's music dish:
BBRAVE is an ambassador of club music made in Africa. His roots are
in Paris and Los Angeles but his heart lays somewhere between Angola
and Ghana. He has been sharing this African heat for four years now,
taking his blend of Akwaaba music to countless clubs and events all over
the world. BBRAVE aka Benjamin Lebrave, is founder and owner of Akwaaba
Music. Establish in 2008, the label is an outlet for BBRAVE's endless
passion for Africa music, working with over 70 recording artists from 15
African nations. As a DJ, BBRAVE focuses on the dance floor side of
things, mashing together the staggering variety of dance music genres
made in Africa, from kuduro to coupe decal, kwaito, and kwassa house to
hipline, gbema or soukous. BBRAVE's relentless quest for sounds from
Africa drive his eclectic, oftentimes unpredictable sets.
SUZANNE KRAFT
Suzanne Kraft cultivates sunsoaked boogie and grow house chuggers
in the West Coast garden of earthly delights. A bubbling Dublab alumn,
Lil Suzie unleashed the lauded Green Flash EP on Running Back a year ago
now, stamping a crisp signature on wax platters with addictive vocal
snips and slow release pill-wave.
