People keep telling me that they miss my Friday night show on KMHD. Well, now you have a chance to groove to my records IN-PERSON on some Friday evenings in a setting that visually matches my music.
WHIPPED CREAM, happening 3rd Fridays at DOTS in the Clinton Neighborhood! I've been looking for the right venue for this event for a while, and I think DOTS fits the bill perfectly!
Gather your crew and/or bring your date to DOTS! Grab dinner & drinks, dance, play pinball, play games, or just shoot the sh*t while I spin vintage vinyl inspired by the ICONIC vintage decor of DOTS that Portlanders have been enjoying for decades!
You'll hear tunes from the 1950s-1970s: tropical, Latin tinge, swingin' 60s, psychedelic velvet! Rhythm n Grooves with a touch of camp.
In order for the Old Portland establishments to survive, we need to SHOW UP FOR THEM! Support the remaining "Old Portland" businesses like DOTS and the Kenton Club!
OFFICIAL DJ ACTION SLACKS EVENT
FLAME Vintage Vinyl Dance Party: Groove Is In the Heart
FEB 8th - SATURDAY
World Famous Kenton Club
We're Going to Dance Have Some Fun!
My next dance party will be one near dear to my heart. Every dance-DJ has an origin - that music or experience that woke them up to the magic of music + dancing.
I hope you will join me in celebrating the good vibes that made me realize I love to dance during my "ARTSY" high school years
FLAME presents GROOVE IS IN THE HEART is a tribute to some of my DANCE musical roots - a mixture of groovy 1960s + funky '70s + '90s "Daisy Age" dance grooves (and some of the original records they sampled). Expect to hear Deee-Lite, David Bowie, The Supremes, De La Soul, Otis Redding, the B-52s, Aretha Franklin, The Velvet Underground, Stevie Wonder., Prince, ABBA, The Talking Heads, the Beatles, and so much more!
And we'll close out the last hour with an 80s/(early)90s Gen Xtra bombdiggity dance off!
Dress in BRIGHT (dayglo or neon) colors, flower-power patterns, or in the style of "'90s does '60s" Daisy Age". I'm going to attempt to get some glow-lites going (we'll see if it works).
So, start getting that ensemble together and get ready to dance with Me, Myself & I at the Kenton Club! Allow yourself to BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF LOVE by dancing to vintage vinyl !
