World Famous Kenton Club
8:00pm Saturday, April 4, 2026

Oh my GROOVEness!  I'm really looking forward to this party!

What better way to unwind & lift our spirits than a night of music from the GREATEST era of dance grooves?! Dance to Rarities & Familiar Favorites from the likes of Stevie Wonder, The Three Degrees, Joe Bataan, Cream, The Staple Singers and many others from a variety of genres.
 
I suppose every DJ has a different idea for what The Golden Age of the Groove would be. As far as DJ Action Slacks is concerned, the years 1968-1974 produced the greatest percentage of infectious records that not only made people dance, they made them think.

The Golden Age of the Groove is when music incorporated one, some, or all of the following characteristics:
Funky
Fuzzy
Buzzy
Trippy
Blippy
Soul-enchanting
Conscious-Expanding
Kaleidoscopic
Psychotropic
Hypnotic - these records grab your attention & won't let go!


So put on your party threads and meet me on the dance floor to escape into the groove!
