***SOLD OUT*** SYD EORA! March 21 @slowgrindfeverclub returns to Wangal Land for another intimate B.Y.O / D.I.Y dance above an electrical wholesaler in Leichhardt. We play the slowest, slinkiest, spookiest, sleaziest, sweetest, swinginest old records we can find, and people dance real slow in a haze of smoke and dim red light. It's a good time. Finger snapping rhythm 'n' blues, smoochy sweet soul, jazzy popcorn, sultry slow-funk burners and uncategorizable moody melters, all sizzling off of antique discs brought to you by DJ Richie1250 (Stone Love, PBS FM) and special guests @thisisdavebowman and @milky_tea_dj Saturday March 21st, 9pm-3am at @splinter.factory , 683 Parramatta Rd, Leichhardt NSW. This a BYO venue with no bar, so bring what you need for the night. NOTES: - This event is not easily accessible by wheelchair as there are two flights of stairs to climb. Please contact us if you use a wheelchair and want to come and we will do our best to accommodate - The Splinter Factory is a queer space. It is clothing optional and sex positive. You can expect to see people connecting in whatever way they find meaningful. Consent is sexy and also mandatory - There will be a smoke machine going all night and it will get very smokey. The smoke is non-toxic but if you ain't into smoke machines this might not be the party for you... - The dancefloor at Slow Grind Fever is for dancing. If you need to use your phone, please do it in the hallway or on the balcony. (We don't mind you taking a quick photo or video to post up later on, but standing in the middle of the dancefloor looking down at your phone is poor Slow Grind etiquette) - Slow Grind Fever is not specifically a partnered dancing event. Some people dance with a partner, some with a group of friends, some alone with their eyes closed. You can do it how you wanna. - The vibe of the night is very hazy and sultry, but the vibe is also about having good manners. Don't be all up in someone's personal space if they aren't inviting you.

David Robinson’s “I’m a carpenter” on Orbitone, out of New Orleans. Another Eddie Bo special, with James Black on drums. The same genius James who laid down his trademark syncopated funk rhythms with Inez Cheatham, Mary Jane Hooper, Roy Ward, Inell Young, Walter “Wolfman” Washington, Lee Dorsey, the Explosions, Dr John and the list goes on and on. A critical contributor to the New Orleans funk lexicon. #jamesblack #eddiebo #orbitonerecords #funk45 #deepfunk #raresoul #nolafunk #nolasoul #ditc #funkydrummer

New mix for @diggersdozen up now on Mixcloud featuring 12 #deepfunk monsters. From unreleased acetates from the Godfather of Soul at his JBs peak, to live funk jams recorded in a Chicago prison, this one is quite the roller coaster. What it lacks in fidelity, it makes up with intensity. Mix link in bio. #rarefunk #raresoul #funk45 #soul45 #jamesbrown #universals #mickeyandthesoulgeneration #luckyandthefamily #thejbs #pcsltd #diggersdozen

Eunice Collins with her 1974 soul weapon “at the hotel” Wouldn’t have happened without @thisisyourginger on the case and Lola and Nina on the sleuth work. I’ve loved this 45 for 20 years but it’s always eluded me in playable form. Such a heavy 45. So much feeling. And by all accounts she never knew it was released. Wall to wall emotion. Also, I don’t think anyone wants to be handled like a spare tyre. #eunicecollins #atthehotel #deepsoul #deepfunk #rarefunk #raresoul #modart #sparetyre

“Watergating at the bus stop” by the Almighty Sonics on Empire records, from 1976. Quite the confluence of dance themes and political references. But, more so, a heavy deep funk monster. #deepfunk #funk45 #rarefunk #raresoul #soul45 #almightysonics #empirerecords

Cameroonian saxophone and vibraphone legend, Manu Dibango with his 1970 cut, “Salt Pop-Corn”, released in France on Phillips. From the same brain that gave the world Soul Makossa and a host of other gems. #deepfunk #manudibango #afrofunk #funk45 #rarefunk #soul45 #saltpopcorn #phillipsrecords
