Apéritif Second Pour

Here's a Second Pour of Apéritif tunes.

You know the deal, I dont have to explain it....?

Every Friday I play a selection of Soul, Jazz, Boogie, Hip Hop and

Funk in the back bar of Apéritif. Drop by for a late night drink, dinner or just come dribble rhetorical crap and ponder the universal

problems with me until the late hours

11pm to 3am, but you're welcome to come in anytime from 6pm

Apéritif Fridays

EVERY FRIDAY

MR GLASS FREE POURS SOUL

APERITIF BAR & RESTAURANT

7 KELLETT ST KINGS X

The wait is over, after much deliberation I have settled on a late night Friday residency. Its a sly little Parisian bar gig that Im sure has the right flava for the connoisseurs palette. For those not familiar with Aperitif, it serves up a ridiculously good and somewhat out of this world modern French-Mediterranean cuisine (until the wee hours of the morn...) After you work your way through the restaurant you'll find yourself in a cozy, dope-a-licious back bar, where you will also find me loungin' on my arse laying out smooth nu funk, neo soul, dope beats.

To paint a mental picture of Aperitif, think L'otel circa 90's... yes, the hedonistic den of late night pleasures, thats what were talking. Aperitif comes with all the L'otel trimmings, Elie, Christian Caruana and me... oh yeah, great wine, superb food, music and comfort. What more can I offer?

The joint is open from 6pm and I'm there from 11pm to 3am

M.I.A.......

Ok ok, I know it's been a while so please forgive me. I was thinking about making up some great excuse but then I thought why bother, let's just get to the music. This is a little something which is perfect for a rainy old day like we have here today in Sydney.
I just finished listening to the entire album whilst looking out my window over a wet and stormy coastline and I must say it's one of the best new albums I've heard in a long time. If you are a fan of good soul or jazz (which I think you may be if you are reading this blog!) then please go buy this album. You will not be disappointed. The guys name is Jose James and this is a track off his new album "The Dreamer" on Brownswood Recordings. And yes, that's the Worldwide maestro Mr Gilles Peterson's label so the odds are in your favour. Enjoy!!

Regal @ The Next Funkinc

Here's a little sample from Regal's recent album, Loop Dreams. After a long hiatus, while remixing some local Aussie acts & finding his new sound, REGAL has finally returned to the melting pot, with his debut solo album. Loop Dreams is a little gem from the one-time original founding member of both THE WISEGUYS (Wall Of Sound) & BRONX DOGS (Heavenly/Marble Bar) two of the UK's most revered underground acts of the 90's. This Album is a nice blend of Downbeat, Hip hop & Breaks with heavy soul & Funk influences.
The track I have chosen to give you a taste of is The Mack; a down right funky breaks track with sweet arse vox samples, ladies and gentlemen, this is the moment we all been waiting for.....
You can do three things from here. 1) Come see Regal playing Original Funk & Soul @ the next Funkinc Sat 22nd Dec. 2) Go to Basment Digs to buy & download his entire Album. 3) go to Regals Myspace to sample somemo' of his tasty treats.
