SOUL OF SYDNEY: Spirit of House Warm Up Boogie Mix by Downtown Cam Brown

Our main man Cam Brown with the dope Soul Of Sydney boogie mix for ya’ll warming it up for SOUL OF SYDNEY: Spirit Of House Secret Block Party | Sunday May 5

Downtown ‘Cam’ Brown

From pop-locking outside the local shops in ‘83 to stomping over muddy English fields shouting Aciiieeed in ‘90! From mic-hyping Canberra’s early raves to throwing down the fresh breaks at Sydney’s infamous nights at the Globe , Downtown Brown has enthusiastically delivered the goods to the funk punters far and wide for quite some time now.

As a strong practitioner of traditional hot wax + turntables = dancefloor detonation methods, his expansive vinyl collection and strong know-how takes you smooth sailing from Yacht Rock through Hip Hop to Disco, around the Balearic Islands and right on down to Boogie town. This flair for the eclectic has found Mr Brown gracing the 1’s and 2’s alongside some of the world’s finest such as Freestylers, Stacey Pullen, UTern, Frankie Knuckles, Crazy Penis, Mark Farina, Chris Lum and the legendary Afrika Bambaataa on his upcoming Australian tour.

This is his first official throw-down for the discerning Soul Of Sydney dancefloor so rest assured the secret chest of vinyl treasures will be unlocked and rocked for this most special event.

So best be pullin’ on your boogie shoes!

Due to overwhelming popular demand following his Australian performances last year, Alton is back! He showed his innovation and ingenuity as a producer also extended into his DJ’ing as he seemlessly married House with his Disco Funk influences.

Alton’s musical roots are deeply connected with Detroit’s legendary club ‘The Music Institute’ which he co-founded with George Baker and Chez Damier (http://dopejams.net/index.php?p=product&id=3352&parent=1&is_print_version=true). His trip also coincides with the release of his latest single “Waiting For You” (http://soundcloud.com/kingsofgroove/…aiting-for-you) which has attracted praise from the likes of Osunlade, Glenn Underground and Black Coffee.

So we are extremely excited to be able to have him playing a special Sunday afternoon ‘Spirit of House’ set in the open air grassed courtyard of Hermann’s Bar at Sydney University.

Expect an afternoon of exceptional music from an extraordinary talent including an eclectic mix of Deep & Soulful Motor City House flavors as well as a solid dose of the Soul & Disco Funk that has shaped and influenced his career as a Producer & DJ.

Local supports include Phil Toke, Michael Zac, Eadie Ramia, Soul of Sydney DJ’s & Dia Ibrahim (Nogara Afrobeat) on live African percussion

ALTON MILLER
Growing up in the 1970s, Miller soaked up the musical environment surrounding him in the Motor City, taking a particular interest in the sounds of Motown, Philadelphia, Parliament-Funkadelic, and Santana. It was during the early ’80s once the “dance music crazed” Alton became friends with a young Derrick May that he decided to start spinning records, citing Chicago DJs such as Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles as prime influences.

By the latter part of the same decade, Miller joined forces with George Baker and Chez Damier to start the Music Institute, a short-lived but legendary Detroit club that has since become near-mythical, thanks to the pioneering techno efforts of figures such as May. Following the demise of The Music Institute, Miller took an interest in Conga drumming in addition to DJing, which led to a period between 1989 and 1991 where he toured the world with his music.

He then joined forces once again with May, first as an employee of the artist’s Transmat Records label, then as Aphrodisiac, the title under which he would begin releasing his music. Besides his EP on Transmat’s sublabel Fragile, he also released his music on Kevin Saunderson’s KMS and a series of EPs on Serious Grooves. By the mid to late ’90s, he had increased his presence in the Detroit area through a number of DJ performances and a stream of stunning twelves. His latest album ‘Light Years Away’ had been critically acclamied by the likes of Osunlade, Atjazz and Boddhi Satva

The Venue: As you can probably see in the picture we didn’t end up in the park for House Picnic as we originally intended due to some ominous cloud and some pretty temperamental Sydney weather. We did however set up our Sound in this dope inner-city Car Park location smack bang between a Chinese Temple and 3 buildings.

One for the House faithful for sure! Thank you for the support kids and look out for us doing it all again very very soon! Big luv to everyone who came down and especially the DJ’s who donated their time like true blue champions!

FACEBOOK EVENT

“Now I don’t see nothing wrong, singing happy song
At the spirit deep inside, like a feeling getting strong
And there’s no need for opression, we come in peace
All we ask is let the music set you free

Check your attitude at the door
Smell the essence burning, sprinkle powder on the floor
The night is young and full of possibilities
We got our shelter now we, we found our sanctuary

(chorus)
We lift our hands at the Sanctuary
People come to dance at the Sanctuary
Love is alive at the Sanctuary
I feel alive at the Sanctuary

Lift up our hands in the Sanctuary
Everybody dance in the Sanctuary
So hear our voice in the Sanctuary
We rejoice in the Sanctuary

Can you imagine a place where all that matters is the music
DJ plays and the party people lose it
Singing, screaming, dancing around
I like the soulful sound of the underground

No pressure, no fear
Nobody’s in your business cause nobody really cares
Everyone’s special and you should feel the same
Welcome to the Sanctuary (I’m so glad you came)

Brothers and sisters, we are at the crossroads
Either we move forward, or get left behind
We gotta keep on keeping on
House music will never die
I don’t think you heard it
HOUSE MUSIC WILL NEVER DIE”
