Don’t let the weather get you down. Don’t let it throw you around. When the rain has come and gon’. You can party with Pushin’On!
Funk Bast*rd
Returning to the Blu Jaz dancefloor is Dean Chew, otherwise known as Funk Bast*rd of Cosa Nostra, Loki Laredo, Disco-very, Darker Than Wax and 3RD Party. Funk Bast*rd rocks out tonight with the sickest disco, boogie and nu-funk. He will also be dropping some newfound gems from his ongoing Europe mini-tour.
Unconventional Science
Also returning to the Pushin’On dancefloor is Unconventional Science, co-promoter of Superfly, New Delhi’s only funk night. Now on his South-East Asian Tour, Pushin’On is his only stop in Singapore and you’ll get to hear a diverse selection of Asian funk records from this deep record digger.
DJ JNR
DJ JNR makes his debut at Pushin’On tonight via Prive, Mimolette, La Maison and Velvet Underground. JNR’s sound constantly evolves but yet at its heart, is a rare blend of Deep House, Detroit Techno, Boogie, Philly Soul and early House. Always pushing all forms of Soul-inspired music, he’s been also known to throw down genre blurring sets or hold it down with straight up Old School Hip Hop.
The Mighty Mighty ‘live’
The Mighty Mighty is the house band of Pushin’On, continuing a timeless tradition of funk nights around the world such as Motherfunk and Breakin’ Bread. Now a 7-piece fronted by Masterpiece, the Mighty Mighty features some of the funkiest young musicians around. The Mighty Mighty hits the 3rd floor of Blu Jaz with 2 sets of funk, soul and R&B.
Tonight, the Mighty Mighty debuts fresh new covers from 2 giants of soul music. We cover a tune from Chicago’s Curtis Mayfield, the Chicago man with the poignant falsetto and socially conscious lyrics. We also cover an early hit from Detroit’s Wilson Pickett, the underrated R&B star with the passionate voice and countless hits on record labels such as Stax, Fame and Atlantic.
The Mighty Mighty is;
Vimal Veeran – drums
Justin Lim – percussion
Bernard Chung – bass
Daryl Tay – guitar
George Leong – saxophone
Joel Dekkers – trumpet
