Psychedelic Funk and Downtempo Boogie with Apricot Ballroom

All music rights belong to their rightful owners. Please support the musicians and buy their music. ------------ Apricot Ballroom is an audiophile party, soundsystem, record label, and DJ duo based out of Sheffield. Made up of Joi La Frique Nonna Fab, the duo have been running the party together for 5 years and have cemented their place amongst the best of their city’s cultural institutions by bringing a friendly, community-driven atmosphere to the late-night dance. Over the past year, the party has begun to draw national and even international attention, regularly drawing attendees from all over the UK and even being picked out as one of “the most banging parties in the country” by Time Out Magazine, with the friendly house party atmosphere and one of the best soundsystems around taking centre stage. Nonna Fab and Joi La Frique are also the party’s resident DJs, and their vibrant, eclectic b2b closing sets are a cornerstone of the party and are fast becoming a fixture of festivals, club nights, and hi-fi bars across the country. DJing together for 6 years and for a combined 18 years between them, their joyous DJ sets thread together the breadth of their musical tastes and influences and join the musical dots between funk, soul, house, street soul, dub, jazz and much much more, all pieced together with a focus on high fidelity production and psychedelic styles. “This selection covers the ground we shared when we first started playing together and when we started the party but made up of mostly recent digs. Most of the tracks are mid-late 80s and cover psychedelic funk, downtempo boogie, and a couple of oddball curveball selections that usually find a place in our sets.“ ------------ MAJ NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!
