AL KENT
GLASGOW (Million Dollar Disco / BBE records)
Warehouse party - Sat 9th July
Al Kent brings the "Disco Love" in his debut Sydney performance.

Al Kent is a man that lives and breathes disco music. Born in Glasgow in the late 60s, he has collected disco, northern soul, funk and house music since the early 80s, and has amassed one of the world’s largest collections of rare disco. This has translated into amazing DJ sets which have taken Al all over the UK and Europe with appearances at the main room at Southport Weekender, Joey Negro’s Z Records party in London and at Respect is Burning in Paris with Dimitri from Paris.

In 2008 Al released his acclaimed “Better Days” album on BBE with his live band the Million Dollar Orchestra and in 2009 released his own “Secret Sounds” LP. Al has released over 60+ edits on Jisco, KAT Music, StillLove4Music and his own Million Dollar Disco imprint, with more to follow. BBE Records also commissioned Al to compile their Disco Love compilation series, focusing on uncovering rare disco and soul. After a sell out Volume 1, Volume 2 was recently released and he is ready to spread the Disco Love in Australia!

Als own parties have hosted Dimitri From Paris, Rick Wilhite, Sadar and Rahaan (with whom he plays a monthly residency).In Rahaan's own words "Al is the only DJ to have made me cry, his sets are something else!"

For his debut Sydney appearance, Al will be playing a 4hr set in a limited capacity, all new, inner city warehouse space.

Tickets are avaiable from Resident Advisor here

Channelling the spirit of Chicago DJ pioneers like Ron Hardy, Farley Jackmaster Funk and the Hot Mix 5, Rahaan has been laying down sets spanning everything from jacking house, deep disco, boogie and funk since the 80`s. From underground basement parties on the southside of Chicago, to playing at big nights in the UK, Europe and Japan, his skill and energy behind the decks has brought him out from the Chicago underground and onto the world stage, gaining him a cult following.

In addition to his own productions, Rahaan has been knocking up his own edits which have been released on labels including StillLove4Music, KAT and Jisco. A compilation of his best edits to date is due out soon on Spacemachine records.

Frank Booker In The Mix (People Must Jam) by PeopleMustJam

NEXT PARTY - FRANK BOOKER (Hit It & Quit It - NZ)

2010-07-04T23:07:00.000-07:00

As a seasonal change from the tropical disco heat of PMJs last party, on 7th August we will be escaping the cold and bunkering down in the warm, cosy surrounds of the Civic Underground as part of Future Classics “Adult Disco” series of winter bashes.

To warm the cockles of your deeply musical hearts, we will be installing Recloose’s right hand man in NZ, FRANK BOOKER behind the controls and letting him drop some house and disco bombs on what’s arguably Sydney finest sound systems.

Emerging from the shadows at the beginning of 2009, Frank was first signed to boutique London record label, Untracked Recordings and released the 'Brothers EP', featuring 3 choice cuts, which marked him out as an artist to watch, gaining record of the week status at Piccadilly Records UK, and also rocketing to the top of the sales charts on Juno Records.

The follow up, 'Paper Cuts' b/w 'Get On' cemented his growing reputation and led to remixes alongside Recloose for Latin Grammy winners Los Amigos Invisibles (Lovemonk Records, Spain), and Based on Kyoto (Japan).

Frank's records have been supported by scene heavyweights such as Ashley Beedle, Todd Terje, Mark E, Tim Sweeney (Beats in Space / DFA), The Revenge, and DJ Day amongst others.

All of this brought the elusive Frank to the attention of one Kenji Sakajiri, the A&R man for esteemed Japanese Record label, Wonderful Noise.
Kenji instantly signed Frank for a special limited edition Mix CD (Out on the Super Limited edition BlackBelt label), and a Double EP to follow in August, 2010.

The EPs will feature remixes by Mark E (Jisco/Under The Shade), Kez YM (YORE) and Cosmic Boogie, with undertaking Frank a DJ Tour of Japan to promote the release in September, 2010.

Frank also co-hosts the highly acclaimed ‘Hit It & Quit It’ radio show alongside Recloose. Hosted every Monday night on George FM (Auckland, New Zealand) and the show has become one of the station’s most popular, and been signed for syndication on legendary Japanese radio station, Shibuya FM.

The pair also co-host a regular clubnight based on the radio show. Thus far, 'The Hit It & Quit It Revue' has featured guest performances from the likes of Dam Funk (Stones Throw), Julien Dyne (BBE), Trus'me (Fat City).The revue also were booked to play Mad Rackets closing party at the Hyde Park Barracks as part of the 2010 Sydney Festival.

As a DJ, Frank's music spans a wide array of quality Black dance music: From deepest Disco, to 80's boogie and quality modern house, as well as some super special re-edits all put together with a focus firmly on the dancers.

Supporting Frank on the night will be PMJ’s very own Matt Trousdale and Pete Dot.

Limited pre-sale tickets are $10 via Resident Advisor as of Wednesday 7th July. Or $15 on the door prior to midnight and $20 thereafter. Drinks specials are also available pre midnight so get down early so save yourself some dough.

The Civic Underground is located unsurprisingly in the basement level, corner of Goulburn and Pitt Streets, City.

So get down to get down!

Trus'Me party update - times, venue etc

2010-01-28T22:03:00.000-08:00

(Music) lovers,
With only a shade over 2 weeks to the party, a few more details to note:

Our guest of honour Trus’me will be playing for 3 hrs minimum, laying down his trademark DEEP, SOULFUL and BASS HEAVY soundtrack.

We have sourced a rather fine (and little used) intimate BASEMENT venue “The Manhattan Lounge” (formerly Wine Banq) for the party. Its address is 50 Elizabeth Street, City – about 2 mins walk from Martin Place station.

We will be kicking things off around 10pm and going til 4 (or later!)

We will be bringing in a nice rotary mixer and the sound and light tweaked accordingly for maximum LOVE action.

There’s well priced booze in the form of $5 Carlton’s, $5 house wines and $11 cocktails, other imported beers / fancy stuff is also reasonably priced.

It’s a dress up theme around the theme of LOVE or failing that, try to wear something RED!

For those few brave souls coming from Goodvibes , you’ll have to put some long trousers on and chuck a pair of sneakers on – shorts or thongs are a no-no im afraid (apparently they do have some standards!)

Hopefully the above update has satiated your appetite for a night of quality music, in a great venue with lovely people. To secure your space on the dancefloor, simply hit up the tickets link on the right hand side of this page and avoid paying more on the door, or worse still being locked out!

Hit us up at peoplemustjam@gmail.com for industry tiks, group bookings etc.

Big love PMJ!

Trus'Me - Valentines Special - 13th Feb

2009-12-03T14:45:00.000-08:00

Hello (music) lovers,
We have big and exciting news in that we are throwing a Valentines party on the 13th Feb, with the amazingly talented Trus'me of Prime Numbers / Fat City / Stilove4music records. It will go from 9pm til late at that most mysterious of places "an inner city venue TBC".

This will be the official Sydney album launch for his second Album "In The Red" - which is out in the coming days and features collabs with the likes of Amp Fiddler, Dam Funk, Paul Randolph (Jazzanova) and Piranha Head (Mahogani Music). Check it out at the link below!

http://www.fatcityrecordings.com/fcr/homeRelease.php?rid=161

To make sure all the heads are on board for this, and to show were the sensitive, loving, caring types, were offering some super cheap first release tickets at a stupidly low price of $15 (see the "buy now" link on this page), so you can snag one for your loved one, partner, mistress or whoever you care about most and start planning an outfit around the theme of "love" or "red". See you for a few slow dances under the lights in a few weeks time!

Big love – PMJ!

People Must Jam present Kebabi Man - Sat Oct 3rd @ Hollywood Hotel

2009-09-04T11:33:00.001-07:00

After spending the last few months recovering from our inaugural party with Rahaan, People Must Jam are re-activating for summer 09 (and beyond) and to celebrate our return from the wilderness were throwing an intimate bash at the Hollywood Hotel on 3rd October – the Saturday of the long weekend.

Turning up the heat on the night will be our very special guest Kebabi Man playing his debut Sydney gig.

Having risen to prominence over the last year with a slew of original productions, tasty edits and recipes(!) via his Edits, Food, No Hype blog (http://kebabiman.tumblr.com) he has been receiving plays and kudos from Prins Thomas, The Underdog, Todd Terje, Victor Simonelli, Darshan from Metro Area and has played gigs for “Soild Gold” In Finland and also at Mark E`s very own night “Dropout Boogie”. Hes also been signed to make his debut on wax in the coming months with several projects in the pipeline for overseas labels.

Our very own musical sous chefs Matt Trousdale, Pete Dot and James Weirick will be preparing the necessary disco tabouleh and slathering the dance floor in red hot funk sauce – minus any cheese.

We will be warming grills of steel from 9pm and will keep the fire burning until the small hours – all for a paltry $5, which along with reasonably priced booze should leave enough change in your pocket to avoid the eternal post night out financial quandary of “cab or kebab?”

Donner make you feel good!

People Must Jam - return!

2009-09-04T11:21:00.000-07:00

We have finally confirmed a whole heap of upcoming guests for '09/10 that we are very excited about....

People Must Jam presents Chi-town Shakedown... featuring for the first time EVER in Australia - DJ Rahaan, live and direct from Chicago.

Rahaan is currently the windy city's hottest DJ following on from Chi-town house legends such as Ron Hardy, Farley Jackmaster Funk and the Hot Mix 5. In addition to putting on underground basement parties on the southside of Chicago. Rahaan has toured the world over - playing at big nights in the UK, Europe and Japan.

Rahaan has also released killer edits on labels such as Kat Music and Jisco.

He will be playing his debut Oz set for a minimum of 3 hrs, expect underground house, funk, disco and all points in between, mixed with a level of skill and energy which is second to none.

Playing alongside Rahaan and creating an oasis of light and sound to pop, shake and jam will be Pete Dot (Monkey Tennis), James Weirick (Paradise Lost) and Matt Trousdale (Loud Minority).

The price for all this, believe it or not is a measly $15 pre sale (by following the Paypal link on the top right of this page) - prepare to pay a little more on the door, however due to the size of the venue, we'd advise you to get your tickets soon, we're limiting numbers to keep things comfortable and once they're sold out, that is it! No more amigos!

See you on the 15th November for a true education in how its done.
