FSQ FRIDAY NIGHT PARTY - LOS ANGELES, CHINATOWN July 7th
ROUND 2 - Again I'm teaming up with Valida, KCRW Radio DJ and affable talent, and Mendzter (Living Room Sessionss) to take over the "Special Disko Mix" Party, hosted by Paradise ULTD at the Songbird Cafe Los Angeles. The Songbird right in the heart of Chinatown steps from the old Chinatown Goldline Stop, which is now the new and improved Metro LA "A" Line which can funnel you from Long Beach or Azusa and points in between, right to the doorstep of Songbird.
I'm bringing deep crates of rare disco and funk to the mix for a special FSQ DJ set and we go from 9PM to 2AM. I hear maybe some members of Parliament-Funkadelic may be in the house. Flyer follows - FREE with RSVP here at this link - and please keep reading.

FSQ @ ANN ARBOR SUMMER FEST
Welp! This already happened but ... recap: I recently journeyed to Ann Arbor, Michigan to DJ at one of the coolest clubs to ever happen in a wine cellar. The cavernous "Root at Rabbit Hole" club hosted the Ann Arbor Summer Fest after party on June 10th, 2023 with Detroit DJ Dan Bain splitting the bill with Chuck. We captured the night - and recorded the party - five hours of DJing. Click here to read on for more about this brilliant venue, the people behind it, photos and hear the mix
