The Super Soul Shakedown #11 was another major success!

Scuba — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 21:23:44 +0000

For the 11th time since the inception of the Super Soul Shakedown in Jan of 2008, the party people came out in droves & were treated to one of the most unique funk & soul experiences available in the south.

DJs Donnie Dee, JJ Lopez & Scuba Gooding Sr. got things going early & the soul train began to scoot. Donnie Dee brought things to a fever pitch, just in time for Henry + the Invisibles to launch his one of a kind rocketship of funk into orbit.

2 lucky party people in attendance walked away with a 1 year subscription to Wax Poetics Magazine so an extra big Super Soul Shakedown shout out goes to Wax Poetics for their support!

The proof is in the pics, so check em!

Limelight has been the place to be for years in San Antonio

& finally, Henry + the Invisibles hit the stage with a whirlwind of funk!

1 man, tamborine + keyboard + loop pedals gallore + bass + guitar + drums + pots & pans + mic + bedazzled stage + cape + bear head = more funk than you can fit in your trunk!

Bass in your face not an 8-track!

This event series is the entire reason that we’re here on this here blog & it is obvious that we put our all as DJs, entertainers, radio hosts & promoters into this event…with that said, we have lined up what we consider to be 1 of the most slept on soul & funk acts to ever come from the Alamocity for this next Super Soul Shakedown on Sat, 7/17 @ Limelight

We proudly bring to you, HENRY + THE INVISIBLES!

Let me say that he 1st time that I ever saw these cats play, I was in Corpus Christi, TX for the 1st ever Artslam1 down there & they blew the packed crowd away…all eyes were on the stage once they started & I said right then & there that we have to book them for a Shakedown one day. Well, the time has come & he will be blowing up the spot, alongside KRTU soul DJs & floor rocker DJs, Donnie Dee, JJ Lopez & Scuba Gooding Sr.

Here’s a sneak peak of the mastermind himself, Henry, cooking up some funky stew in his kitchen:

And since your here, here’s the flyer for the last Shakedown of 2010, feat. south Texas’ premier soul outfit, T Bird & the Breaks…which is going down in October, when we return to our new, more spacious home @ Sam’s Burger Joint:

Artslam! Fiest@ Slambeaux this Sat @ Korova (downtown SA)

Scuba — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 18:48:46 +0000

Annnnnnd we’re back! Once again, big shout outs to everyone who supported this past weekend’s (& all of the) Super Soul Shakedown @ Sams. It was a magical night that we’re still riding high off of.

BUT! It’s Fiesta in San Antonio & that means more parties & events than anyone can possibly attend. NIOSA, The Mercado, The Carnival, King William Fair, Battle of Flowers parade, etc…

We’d like to add to that list, our 1st Fiest@-timed Artslam! in the 5 year history of this unique live art & music event. We chose downtown’s latest & greatest club, The Korova (107 E. Martin St @ Soledad) for this joyous occasion.

Live Art!
…20+ live artists painting @ the event, including SA legends, SOUP & CIEN, plus Deadbeat Hero, Cros, Henry Quiara & more!

Live Music!
…Funky fresh hiphop set with Vertual Vertigo (Cerebral Vortex + Ezekiel + DJ Japandrew) from Chicago + some great live jams from iD, Silent Minority, Wholesale Piracy & Sohns!

Boogie jams to be provided by our own DJ Scuba Gooding Sr., DJ Freeverse & DJ Giancarlo.

So much goodness in 1 night! Be sure to get there early, as doors open @ 9 & this event will hit full capacity.

For good measure, here are some Cerebral Vortex / Vertual Vertigo videos…this cat came on the scene in SA around 2004 & made 1 of the biggest impacts that this music community has ever witnessed. Since then he has worked with some of the biggest names in today’s progressive hiphop/electronic/indie scene, such as Hudson Mohawke, Rustie, Kissy Asplundh, Suzi Analouge, etc. I have no less than 5 different 12″s from him from labels all over the world, which is more than most anyone from the SA music scene can claim. Dude is the truth & reps SA to the fullest! If you never had the chance to see him play or if you havent seen his show in a long time, dont miss out on his midnight performance with his Vertual Vertigo project!

So yeah, there you have it folks! Happy Fiesta & please be safe out there! We hope to see you on Sat, 4/24 @ Korova.

Super Soul Shakedown #11 was another feel good success!

Scuba — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 21:56:35 +0000

What a way to kick off Fiesta in San Antonio! Looking back over the last 11 Super Soul Shakedown’s that have taken place quarterly for the last 2.5 years, it is so incredible to see the seeds that we planted continue to grow into an orchard of soul that promises to be a forest of funk before long. Last night marked our 10th Shakedown in SA & all 10 events have reached capacity before midnight…as did the 1 off Austin Shakedown that we held last fall. As LL & Easy Lee put it, it’s something like a phenomenon.

As our brand’s popularity has continued to grow, we had to make a decision to go to a larger venue that is more geared towards our diverse audience. We then peaked the interest of SA’s legendary live music hall, Sam’s Burger Joint. With our inaugural concert @ Sam’s, it quickly proved to be the perfect fit & will now be the new home field for the Super Soul Shakedown, after we host our last one @ the Limelight on 7/17/10 (which will feature Henry + The Invisibles.)

DJs Cortez, Donnie Dee, JJ Lopez & myself (Scuba) all brought the heat last night & subsequently set the dance floor aflame with 500 pair of feet movin & groovin for hours on end. Once the table was set, Sexto Sol did what they’ve always done best & gave the audience a healthy serving of San Anto soul stew that filled their Fiesta soul food appetites. Mmm mmmm good!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot…Mr. JJ Lopez & our intern/DJ homie Cortez, took it upon themselves to break out the old school tape deck & record all of our DJ sets & Sexto Sol’s performance on cassette last night. Stay tuned for those gems to be unearthed @ a later date.

We want to thank our supporting partners, Wax Poetics, 91.7 FM, KRTU & the San Anto Soul Society.

There’s only so much that I can type about how magical last night was without sounding too narcissitic, so I’ll just let these pictures do the talking. Thank you San Antonio…we’ll be back with more very soon.

Super Soul Shakedown patrons on the good foot!

Probably time for some new boogie shoes after this jam!

Wax Poetics, KRTU & the San Anto Soul Society make this possible

Well folks, thank you for your continued support…please take note that the next Super Soul Shakedown will be held on Sat, 7/17/10 @ Limelight & will feature 1 of the south’s best kept secrets, Henry + The Invisibles.

Trust us...you have no idea bout the funky good time you're in for!

Joe Jama), Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears, Akina Adderly & the Vintage Playboys, T Bird & the Breaks, Flyjack, Mojoe & now Sexto Sol! Stay tuned for more southern soul greatness!
