Cloudy with a chance of funk

An online radio programme featuring daily sets by well- and lesser-known Brussels-based DJs is, in short, the concept of Cloud Funk. DJs like Snooba, Stelr, The Red Bamboo, 72 Soul & DynomiteSoul, Timmy Soul, and many others bring the very best from their gigantic record collections. Though they present every possible music genre, do not expect to hear any hackneyed radio hits. From sixties soul to old and nu skool hip hop, future beats, psychedelica, and dub. The DJs on this show are specialists in their field, but they also enjoy thinking outside the box. It’s no coincidence that they themselves describe it as “the sky is not the limit”. To reinforce the radio show, a big party is organised every three months. The launch party in Le Bar du Matin is not only bringing together the show’s regular hosts for a marathon set, but the Brussels-based funk band Rising Pulse will also be performing a live session. They were formed a good two years back as an amalgam of friends who wanted to blend their love of soul, reggae, rock, and funk. It doesn’t get more “Brussels” than this. In other words, they’re the ideal act to kick-start Cloud Funk.

CLOUD FUNK LAUNCH PARTY 16/1, 21.00, gratis/gratuit/free, Bar du Matin, chaussée d’Alsembergsesteenweg 172, Vorst/Forest, bardumatin.blogspot.be
