Club Tip CMU Approved
Approved: Nu Position at Life
By Paul Vig | Published on Friday 25 June 2010
Sunday we take on the Germans – but whatever the result, take your mind off it with the music of Prince. Not the man himself, no, but deep house legend Osunlade, the Yoruba Records founder and Prince expert. Growing up in Missouri, Osunlade was exposed to the sounds coming out of nearby Minneapolis from a very young age and instantly recognised Prince as the most important thing to happen to soul music since James Brown.
This Sunday he will be sharing his extensive knowledge of (and record bag filled with) the music of Prince, Minneapolis and so called renegade funk (expect The Time, Madhouse, Jesse Johnson, Jill Jones etc) at this rather good sounding night in Shoreditch. Resident Kyri (R2 records) and Chris Philips (ex-Kiss100 ) will also be on the decks, while Minneapolis funk freaks Playing With Knives will also be in the house. An interesting twist to an already impressive regular night.
Sunday 27 Jun, Life, Old Street, London, EC1, 9pm-2am, £3/£5
