Vancouver, BC

More Info
A Friday Night Fever all-vinyl one night stand with Saskatoon’s DR. J , Whistler’s Vinyl Ritchie , DJ Hubbz, MC Cherry Wine , & The Stunt Man (of course) with visuals by Woodhead’s company, LIGHTHEAD.

This time 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 near Cambie Street.
The only thing that could make 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 and it’s going late.

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.
