About
Pushin’On is the longest-running, independently promoted funk night in Singapore. At the heart of Pushin’On are DJ Shellsuit, DJ Chunk, DJ Code and MC Masterpiece. Since 2006, this explosive collaboration has rocked bars, clubs and festivals worldwide, performing as a dynamic ‘live’ act, combining funk, disco, boogie and hip-hop breaks with ‘live’ vocals, synth and percussion. And now, the latest addition to the Pushin’On line-up – “The Mighty Mighty”, a 7-piece funk and soul band, deliver sets at the monthly party that are testimony to their growing reputation as “Singapore’s toughest funk band”.
The Sound
Raw drums, funky bass-lines and driving horns are a big part of the Pushin’On sound. There is also a good dose of hiphop, boogie, disco, jazz and latin funk in the mix. The Pushin’On sound is inspired by the selectas of rare funk such as Kon and Amir, Keb Darge and Jazzman Gerald, the dancefloor sensibilities of Greg Wilson and Holy Ghost!, and the dynamic live performance of acts like Hifana and The Roots.
