SOUL OF SYDNEY FEEL-GOOD FUNK RADIO

From pop-locking outside the local shops in ‘83 to stomping over muddy English fields shouting Aciiieeed in ‘90! From mic-hyping Canberra’s early raves to throwing down the fresh breaks at Sydney’s infamous nights at the Globe , Downtown Brown has enthusiastically delivered the goods to the funk punters far and wide for quite some time now. As a strong practitioner of traditional hot wax + turntables = dancefloor detonation methods, his expansive vinyl collection and strong know-how takes you smooth sailing from Yacht Rock through Hip Hop to Disco, around the Balearic Islands and right on down to Boogie town. This flair for the eclectic has found Mr Brown gracing the 1’s and 2’s alongside some of the world’s finest such as Freestylers, Stacey Pullen, UTern, Frankie Knuckles, Crazy Penis, Mark Farina, Chris Lum and the legendary Afrika Bambaataa on his upcoming Australian tour.

Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, R&B, Disco and party jams! Shan Frenzie grew up on a healthy diet of these sounds. He's not some newschool DJ wannabe, flexing his beatport MP3's and pumping his fists in the air. He's got over 20 years of experience behind him, a record collection that will make any other DJ envious, and a concrete rep as one of Australia’s most trusted party rockers. But can he rock a party? Frenzie has been dropping memorable sets for years. Whether it be a one hour power mix or an all night marathon set behind the tuntables, Frenzie has plenty of experience reading the crowd and always drops an entertaining set - custom built from carefully considered quality jams and a dash of turntable trickery (Yeah, the man can most definitely mix a record!).
