SOUL OF SYDNEY 054: New York Disco & Boogie Joints by DOWNTOWN CAM BROWN
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.
