UNIVERSAL VIBES PRESENTS:
THE FREESTYLE BLEND
Saturday 12th July
Universal Vibes is back on the second saturday of the month at The Prince, right in the heart of Brixton, on the Junction of Coldharbour Lane and Brixton Road for another Freestyle Blend Session.
The Prince is part of the fantastic new Dex Club complex, one of the leading lights in the thriving current Brixton nightlife scene. Don't let its pub-like exterior fool you. Inside beats the heart of a chunky function one soundsystem with a great dancefloor area an outdoor terrace that makes the Prince feel more like a mini club than a bar. We started this session back in November, and over the last few months its grown into a fantastic monthly session....
Taking its name from one of the in house radio shows on universal vibes, representing the eclectic deep freestyle sounds, taking in a mix of soulful beats and breaks, expect hip hop, broken beats, deep house, nu jazz and latin flavours, music without boundaries...music with universal vibes
From House (proper and deep) to Hip Hop (chunky and soulful), with a dash of broken beats, some disco, funk, soul and a whole pile of eclectic good grooves...
joining us this month is Size Doesn't Matter resident and DJ about town,Mr. Shiver..
Music has played a part in Mr Shiver's life since the age of 9 when he started playing trumpet and piano - during his teenage years he also picked up the guitar.....whilst at school he joined several bands, which played a lot of James Brown and funk covers....also a love of hip hop and house music started to develop in the late 80s/early 90s.....Turntables became the next instrument for Mr Shiver to master and this lead to hours being spent learning how to scratch and mix.......
SO - in late 2000, as part of the Unsung Heroes, Shiver released the LP 'unleashed' on Scenario records to critical acclaim and managed to license it all over the world too.....on top of that he also has done turntable work for various artists over the years.....
At the moment Shiver is a part of long running 7 inch only night 'Size Doesnt Matter' and also djs all over town playing all kinds of different music..
Recently his love of deep house music has prompted him to start collaborating with Mulletover resident and Murmur head honcho Geddes. The 'trial and error' ep on Tsuba records is hopefully the 1st of many hew releases...WATCH THIS SPACE
