4Deep presents CONNECT
with special guest:
DJ OFFBEAT
(SOUL FUNKTION, FutureHistoryOfHouse, Afroblu, CityDeep, NYC)
Evolving out of the deep house and nujazz scenes, DJ Offbeat fuses the current sound of West London and Germany with classic Brazilian and African rhythms. He spins an innovative, jazzy blend of brasilian, afro-latin jazz, soulful deep house and funky broken beats, presenting a modern reinterpretation of traditional ethnic grooves that is equally suitable for discerning dance floors as well as the most sophisticated lounge atmospheres.
Born in Detroit, DJ Offbeat was quickly transplanted to Sao Paolo where he developed a love for classic Brazilian rhythms and melodies. Returning to the US, he settled in Dallas, Texas and spent years running various record shops, radio shows, and club nights. A six month stay in Copenhagen sparked his interest in European jazz and a return to NYC revived his passion for soulful house music.
Combining his diverse musical tastes, DJ Offbeat is expanding the boundaries of music as you know it.
SOUL FUNKTION is a quarterly event in NYC, Detroit, Boston, Denver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Ottawa, Omaha, (and Atlanta) beginning in March 2008.
SOUL FUNKTION Radio airs live every Wednesday night on Pressure Radio UK and is syndicated on about 25 stations internationally each week. DJ Offbeat and guests take you on a deep journey, dishing out healthy servings of afrobeat, deep house, brokenbeat, global soul, jazz and more.
SOUL FUNKTION and FutureHistoryOfHouse have hosted some of the top DJs in the world. Guests have included Osunlade, jojoflores, Bobby & Steve, Ian Friday, Master Kev, Julius Papp, Frankie Feliciano, Mr V, Alix Alvarez, Karizma, John Beltran, Julius the Mad Thinker, Lars Behrenroth, Jihad Muhammad, Eddie Matos, Antonio Ocasio, Carlos Mena, Joe DiPadova, Adam Gibbons, Jaymz Nylon, Andrew Carter, Rodney Hunter, Sabine, Brent Crampton, Luan, Brad & Brian Edwards, Bradford James, Rani “g”, Demarkus Lewis, Boo Williams, Sir Piers, and Big Bang, as well as top level local DJs.
