"Say It Loud" is an evening celebrating the Godfather of Soul James Brown. It's also an official release party for J.ROCC's "James Brown Tribute p.2" mix CD and Nelson George & Alan Leeds' book "James Brown The Reader: 50 years of writing about the God Father of Soul".
J.Rocc is by far my favorite Los Angeles DJ. He's the leader of the Beat Junkies and one of the smoothest DJs I've ever seen/heard. It's often joked that he is the King of the 30 sec. mix because of his speed and accuracy but if his 1st James Brown tribute is any indication of this evening's sounds there will be plenty of time to catch the groove. Also performing is funky drummer James Gadson featuring the Breakestra and local artist Kofie.
You can pick up J.Rocc's mixes at Turntable Lab on Fairfax or simply subscribe to the Stones Throw Podcast.
