Please come join us as we welcome our special guest KC Hallett.
We've been dropping his amazing Fela re-edits for a while now at

to bless our party with his signature soulful sound.
Last months JUMP had an amazing vibe and this months will definitely
continue that!
Opening set by the AfroSonic Djs and of course live congas by
Jesus Andujar. ELECTRIC VIBE ALL NIGHT!

a little bio on KC:
K.C. who is originally from New Hampshire use to commute to Boston & New York to visit some of the most unique night clubs on the East Coast. Dancing was his hobby, going to "The Loft" in Boston "Shelter" & "Body and Soul" in New York. These clubs were amazing with hundreds of people just losing themselves in the music and the vibe. He then had a small accident and sprained his ankle which took him off the dance floor for some time. Since he could not dance, his love for music brought him to Biscuithead records to buy some of his first house records in 1996. With a sprained ankle he started collecting and mixing records to keep him involved with the music he loved. It started with just deep house music but has branched out into many genres of music. As he stays true the the house music sound he also has a love Jazz, R&B soul, D&B, Techno, Reggae, Disco Classics, etc... you get the point(all good dance music). K.C. then moved to Boston in 1998 and started focusing on his dj career. From 1998 to the present he has worked in numerous record stores in boston (biscuithead, boston beat, satellite, and lab) and has spun in numerous
clubs, bars, and lounges from Boston to New York. Has also spun with plenty big name djs in the business (see shared bookings). He was the resident dj for Soul Revival the longest running party in Boston which was started before he even bought his first record. He has also started working on production so be on the look out for stuff in the future.

"DJ KC is one of the finest house DJs Boston has ever produced. From his sensational guest sets at the seminal party Life, the multicultural mayhem that is Mercury plus his residency at the legendary Soul Revival parties, KC has a downright impeccable ear and a natural intuition for rocking a crowd." -Craig Kapilow of the Weekly Dig

About Ron:

A perennial presence in music since the early 90’s, Ron Trent pulls no punches!

Considered to be one of the architects of the Chicago music scene, Ron studied and collected various types of music as a young boy, taking cues from his father who ran a record pool in the late 70’s. Later, becoming a respected DJ in his early teens in the mid 80’s. Ron began to work on his own productions, which lead to his first release, the highly recognized classic “Altered States” in 1990, giving him international acclaim. Through his 13 year old Prescription Records, Ron has notched up an extensive back catalogue of his own productions and introduced several key players. Prescription Records is widely regarded as one of the most influential Deep House imprints of the period.

In the early 90’s, Ron collaborated with House/R&B team Hula & Fingers, producers for Jive records and production credits with Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, Kool Mo D, High Five, Lidell Townsend and MTF. Under the direction of Hula & Fingers, Ron began to develop his skills as a producer and musician by incorporating his training as a percussionist along with developing skills on the keyboards. After several releases on Club Records, Hula & Fingers classic imprint, Ron went on to form his own label with renowned vocalist/producer Chez Damier.

In 1993, Ron and Chez began creating the template for what would become the signature Prescription sound, eventually finding it’s way into various remix and writing production hits, and implementing the conception of Prescription Records. Prescription Records, together with it’s sister label Balance, introduced the likes of Anthony Nicholson, Abacus, Glen Underground (CVO), Moody Man, Norma Jean Bell, Joshua, Peven Everett, Rob Mello, and Luke Solomon to the world. During its course, Prescription Records became known for issuing superbly produced, often epic dance music by drawing influences from all over the globe and delighting club goers, as well as DJs with its highly unique sound.

Ron’s sound expanded in 1997 with the release of the dance classic “Ncame U”. With writing partner Anthony Nicholson, famed vocalist D’bora, and Peven Everett on trumpet, this record launched Ron onto the NYC dance scene. After Ron’s move to NYC, he quickly gained respect as a DJ/Producer by doing various gigs at Body and Soul, Shelter and hosting his own events at the legendary nightclub Vinyl in downtown Manhattan.

Ron’s DJ and production skills caught the attention of the owners of Giant Step. Together, they began to create a new sound that would lead the way for the future of Giant Step the club and Giant Step the label. In 2000, Ron started his residency with Giant Step at Shine, bringing forth a fusion of Neo Soul, Jazz Funk and World music, while merging it into a dance formula. The party, “Giant Step Weekly Sessions”, sponsored by Levi’s and Evian, played host to many loyal weekly followers. With Ron’s vast knowledge of music and Giant Step’s thirst for the cutting edge, the event became one of the most top rated nights in NYC.

Ron’s in house productions on the Giant Step/Sony label, featured artists such as Amel Larrieux, Jody Watley, Anastacia, Donnie, Carl Hancock Rux, Lina, just to name a few. His productions lead him to work with other greats including Tony Allen, Chucho Valdes, Papa Weba, 4Hero, Amp Fiddler, Groove Collective, as well as various other world artists.

We can't wait for this...see y'all there!!!

Dec 11th - special guest ABICAH SOUL (chicago)

2009-12-01T22:12:00.002-05:00

Abicah Soul grew up in Chicago during the days of the Warehouse and Muzic Box, and his deejay sets and production—like those of friends Glenn Underground, Boo Williams, Paul Johnson, and Gene Hunt—are heavily influenced by the pioneering work of Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy. He began deejaying in 1983, when he was only 12 years old, and has been a staple in the Chi-town rave and club scene ever since, holding residencies at Smartbar, Club4, and Ohm and doing weekly radio gigs for WNUR 89.3 and prepartyradio.com.

As a producer, Abicah has landed releases on Classic, Jellybean, Nite Life Collective, Rush Hour, Wha? Roots, Seasons, and many other labels. An in-demand remixer, he has given tracks by Telepopmusik, Osunlade, Glenn Underground, Terry Hunter, Boddhi Satva, and many others the “Abicah” treatment. His signature soulful, deeply-rooted yet edgy afro-latin sound—evidenced by recent tracks such as “Musique de Ve” (Eargasmic)—is unique in dance music today and defies categorization. Imagine Joe Claussell collaborating with ¬me, or IsolÈe teaming up with Osunlade and you’re on the right track. His work has been compared to that of Jazzanova and Quentin Harris, and as a “DJ’s producer” he is one of the best-kept and most-cherished secrets in deep house. Indeed, a wide variety of deejays—from Brett Johnson and DJ Heather to Marques Wyatt, Blaze, and Gilles Peterson—have featured his tracks on their Mix CDs

Friday 11-13 >>>> TJOVI GINEN Meets AFROSONIC

2009-11-12T14:50:00.005-05:00

Friday promises to be another "don't miss" night @ The Blk Rep
This time around The AfroSonic Collective along w/ The Black Rep are proud to bring you

AFROSONIC COLLECTIVE DJ's :
NICK De PARIS and MIKE DELICK
along with special guests:
Tjovi Ginen
[Haitian Roots Music]
TJOVI GINEN, which roughly means “children or spirit of Africa”, invokes their message of freedom through a blend of African, Latin and Haitian vodou rhythms. Their lyrics lace each track with Reggae, Ska and Jamaican dub poetry which unfold stories of struggle and triumph, pain and power, love and more love for each other and ourselves. Daniel Laurent, founder and leader of TJOVI GINEN, fled Duvalier’s brutal regime with his family at the age of 11. Educated at the University of Massachusetts at Boston and Harvard University, Laurent immersed himself in the Haitian music scene in Boston, singing and managing the group, Batwel Rada in the early 90s. He studied the tanbou, the nuances of Haitian vodou rhythms and the origins of rara- spiritual street festival music. As the Haitian Roots Movement began to reach its peak and Haiti became a political volcano, Laurent branched out with (Smith Nazaire), A.K.A, Atibon Legba, Ralph Gasparello and formed TJOVI GINEN – a more politically charged collective that incorporates the roots and rhythms of the island nation and its mother, Africa. TJOVI GINEN is a primary example of how Haitian roots music has no boundaries and embraces all colors, nations and creeds. A mainstay in the Boston music scene, Daniel Laurent moved to New York city in the late 90's and reformed TJOVI GINEN with an ensemble of seasoned musicians representing their Latin, African and American culture and history all supported by the tanbou, vodou rhythms, and Haitian chants. Ralph Gasparello and Atibon Legba Rejoined the project in the last three years to continue the musical path they started in Cambridge Ma. The problems of Haiti are universal – struggle, oppression, poverty – global conditions, but in the words of its founder, TJOVI GINEN’s music is “vibrant…taking root in both Africa and Haiti, so we know that there’s joy in the message and in the struggle.”

Make sure not to miss a VERY SPECIAL night of genre defying music at the Black Rep.

TORTURED SOUL COMES to AFROSONIC JUMP!

2009-05-20T08:05:00.003-04:00

TORTURED SOUL - FRIDAY MAY 29th
@ PROVIDENCE BLK REP

The Afrosonic Collective and Providence Black Repertory are proud to present a very special AfroSonic Jump party featuring the band TORTURED SOUL.

This amazing trio from NYC has already blessed us with their soulful sounds for Sound Session a few years ago and is coming back for their CD album release " Do you miss me" Friday May 29th as part of their new WORLDWIDE tour.

Called "the future of house music" by Gilles Peterson, Tortured Soul was born of the simple yet adventurous belief that modern dance music can be performed completely live. Their unique live performances have astounded audiences around the world, from top nightclubs such as Fabric (London) to 15,000+ crowds at the Montreal Jazz Festival, while their recorded oeuvre pushes the genre boundaries of soul, dance, and pop. From their now-classic early singles such as "I Might Do Something Wrong," to their highly-lauded debut album Introducing (2006 Purpose/R2 Records), Tortured Soul's style is both an echo of the past and a challenge to the future, combining elements of old soul and funk with a modern dancefloor sensibility.

On March 6th 2009 Tortured Soul will drop their new album Did You Miss Me (TSTC001) on the band's own newly formed TSTC Records (released on Dome UK/Europe, Columbia Japan), a 13-song set that picks up right where Introducing left off. The title is both a tongue-in-cheek nod to the fans who have been waiting with baited breath for the band's sophomore effort, as well as an allusion to the primary motif of the album -- travel and it's various tribulations. Drummer/vocalist John-Christian Urich, bassist JKriv and keyboardist Ethan White have played close to 400 shows together worldwide in Tortured Soul's 5-year touring history, so it's no wonder they have transit on the brain.

This will be an amazing event also featuring an opening set by the AfroSonic Collective DJs BlackDove, Mikedelick, Nick de Paris and Dublin.

Cover will be $10, doors will open at 9pm, don't miss this very special occasion to see this amazing band perform LIVE at the Black Rep!

AFROSONIC JUMP WITH DJ OFFBEAT JAN. 30TH

2009-01-05T22:06:00.005-05:00

Save the Date for AFROSONIC JUMP Friday January 30th with special guest DJ OFFBEAT ( Soul Funktion- Pressurereadio)coming from NYC to bless us with his underground afrogems.

Evolving out of the deep house and nujazz scenes, DJ Offbeat fuses the current sound of West London and Germany with classic Brazilian and African rhythms. He spins an innovative, jazzy blend of brasilian, afro-latin jazz, soulful deep house and funky broken beats, presenting a modern reinterpretation of traditional ethnic grooves that is equally suitable for discerning dance floors as well as the most sophisticated lounge atmospheres.

Born in Detroit, DJ Offbeat was quickly transplanted to Sao Paolo where he developed a love for classic Brazilian rhythms and melodies. Returning to the US, he settled in Dallas, Texas and spent years running various record shops, radio shows, and club nights. A six month stay in Copenhagen sparked his interest in European jazz and a return to NYC revived his passion for soulful house music.

Combining his diverse musical tastes, DJ Offbeat is expanding the boundaries of music as you know it.

SOUL FUNKTION is a roaming party that has touched down in NYC, Detroit, Atlanta, Denver, Dallas, Austin, Memphis, Houston, and Ottawa.

SOUL FUNKTION Radio is a weekly podcast and that also airs live every Wednesday night on Pressure Radio UK, as well as in syndication on about 25 stations internationally each week. DJ Offbeat and guests take you on a deep journey, dishing out healthy servings of afrobeat, deep house, brokenbeat, global soul, jazz and more.

DJ Offbeat has played alongside some of the top DJs in the world, including Osunlade, jojoflores, Bobby & Steve, Ian Friday, Master Kev, Julius Papp, Frankie Feliciano, Mr V, Alix Alvarez, Karizma, John Beltran, Julius the Mad Thinker, Lars Behrenroth, Jihad Muhammad, Eddie Matos, Kevin Hedge (Blaze), Antonio Ocasio, Carlos Mena, Joe DiPadova, Adam Gibbons, Jaymz Nylon, Andrew Carter, Rodney Hunter, Sabine, Bradford James, Rani “g”, Demarkus Lewis, Boo Williams, Sir Piers, Big Bang, as well as top level local DJs.

Don't Miss these NYC Deep House

Legends' First Providence Appearance!

In the summer of '85 (believe it or not) John Mateo was spinning whole sets over the airwaves of his CB radio. It was through this self-produced show that Eddie Matos first made contact with John Mateo. They became friends quickly and partners soon after. They have been inspired by listening to Larry Levan, Tony Humphries, Shep Pettibone and Little Louie Vega.
From '86 through '89, Mateo & Matos performed at a staggering number of club festivals and old school block parties in the tri-state area of New York. In late 89 they started producing and have released numerous E.P.’s and singles from then until now on many record labels throughout the world. They've since torn up dance floors spinning in over thirty countries. You can find their unique New York soulful sound in dozens of original productions and remixes on record labels such as King Street, Defected, Nervous, Large and Glasgow Underground.

Warm Up Session with Mike Delick

2008-06-03T19:21:00.003-04:00

Here is another mix done live at AfroSonic May 30, 2008 by yours' truly Mike Delick. This was done in the early part of the night where I always try to get my down tempo on but there is always someone in the place who wants to come up and request a song every 2 minutes. People let the DJ get his groove on before you come up to the booth and request Madonna on Deep House night with African Drummers...
