It's FREE
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!
