CHECK IT ON FACEBOOK

We’re back for our second FNF @ at the rather upscale, but totally down to party, Beaumont Studios: an established venue for Vancouver’s art, theatrical, dance and music scene located on the corner of 5th and Alberta.
The only thing what makes this space better is the Friday Night Fever Sound System, Wicked DJs and a huge stack of wax and we’re bringing it all. Tell your friends this will be a good one.

The Lineup

Vinyl Ritchie (Whistler)
The Fever crew is always very pleased to showcase the man who originally defined breakbeat in Vancouver. His last 3 hour 45rpm-only set at Friday Night Fever was nothing short of amazing! All the way back to 1991, from his Zoo Boogaloo night at the Starfish Room , Cherry Bombs at Sonar during the latter half of the 1990s, the Big Sexy Funk night at Shine, the infamous Soul Kitchen with DJ Czech at Tommy Africa’s in Whistler and headline sets at Shambhala since 2000, Scotty’s been spinning records ONLY and finding that combination of different sounds that all revolve around one thing: Funk.

Steamboat Fattie
One guy who’s definitely got more bounce to the ounce, Mark’s been playing out for well over a decade that i know of. from his days hosting dance parties at his glorified downtown-eastside photo studio flophouse (if you remember – you weren’t there) to his years long residencies at Subeez and Falconetti’s and on up highway 99 to co-produce Funkoree for some of the luckiest people in BC – he is hands down one of the finest dance floor deejays Vancouver’s shaken it’s booty to. Ever. Look forward to a very deep and groovy, all-vinyl set where ravers & rockers collide in a Funk Sandwich!

Rel!g!on
Born in Ottawa, Rel!g!on grew up listening to his father’s musical influence, which included a variety of instruments, singing, and an extensive record collection. Fascinated by keyboards and organs, the fledgling hip hop perfectionist began experimenting with records and a Casio SK 1, beginning the journey of honing his incredible skills. While he started with an old keyboard and entertaining diss tracks about his high school classmates, Rel!g!on rapidly progressed into a respected producer working with artists from Vancouver to New York.
The future is bright for Rel!g!on, as he shows absolutely no signs of slowing down, with a number of impressive projects currently in the works for hip hop fans across North America.

And endtroducing DJ Skoosha
Whether rocking a dance floor all night or creating a chill, laid back groove – DJ Skoosha isn’t your typical DJ. With 8 years behind the decks DJ Skoosha has been playing all vinyl record sets at venues throughout San Diego and Vancouver. Keeping with the origins of DJing, vinyl is an integral part of her craft.
Skoosha’s specialty is quality Hip Hop (mostly 90s & underground) and Downtempo textured with layers of funk, jazz and soul. DJ Skoosha’s versatile sets also include Techno, Electro, House, and Dubstep. While those genres give you an idea of her style, Skoosha’s focus is on the quality of music.
