The Parkdale Funk Show

Fall is in full bloom in Toronto. The leaves are about to change colour, the temperature is dropping and everyone is busting out their hoodies. Soul Power  is dedicated and ready to turn the heat back on!  The October edition promises to be the hottest event with very special guest DJ Catalist!

Catalist aka Alister Johnson is a man of many talents. He’s a superstar producer and currently has a highly successful 45 out now on Bsrtd Boots called “Hot Witness”, the keys player for Grand Analog and a DJ who is one half of the ¡Bom Senso! night at the Tequila Bookworm. Soul Power is very happy to have him grace the Starving Artist.

As always, this is a FREE event and vinyl only! No CDs, no Serato no digital business at all! Proper soul music being played the old skool way.

Simmer Down has been proving Toronto with some amazing nights of soul, funk, Brazilian, Latin and reggae music for two amazing years. The time has come to wrap things up for a while. Ol’ Mogpaws is moving base camp to Brazil and shan’t… return until Earth has gone fully around the sun once or twice more.

In addition to the usual stud-muffins, A mish mash of some of our city’s finest talent from some of your favourite parties will be dropping by with bags of records and such to make sure it’s an evening to remember. We’ll add others as confirmation arrives. Six Degrees has 2 floors and we’ll be on the upper floor (downstairs is a salsa vs reggaeton party)

$5 before 11:00pm
$10 after (more mouths to feed this time)

After constructive feedback, it was determined that the main lacking element to the party was sufficient sound caliber. We’ve chosen Six Degrees as it’s free of police-calling neighbours and endowed with the equipment needed to satisfy the sonically picky. Hoorah!

Downtownians will perhaps think that Eglinton is some remote, distant place that could take months to get to by tall ship…but actually it’s subway accessible and there’s a splendid/convienient upchuck express that can also safely guide you to your place of lodging. So…no excuses!
