Chilifunk Records Takeover

Additional information

30 years of soulful music for funky people – coming to Lewisham.

This October 22nd, Chillifunk Records lands at the Fox & Firkin for its first takeover – celebrating three decades of independent, soulful and underground music with a night that connects the label’s past, present and future.

Born in London in 1996, Chillifunk has spent 30 years refusing to be boxed into one genre – moving through house, soul, funk, jazz, broken beat, disco and deep underground grooves. Across those three decades, Chillifunk has worked with an incredible family of artists, producers and vocalists, including Nathan Haines, East West Connection, Dr Bob Jones, Phil Asher’s Restless Soul, T. Kolai, Verna Francis, Sandy Mill, DSL, Elbert Phillips, Vanessa Freeman and Jody Watley, alongside international remixers including Kenny Dope, Dennis Ferrer and Louie Vega.

For our first Fox & Firkin session, we’re bringing together the Chillifunk family with Rude Boy Rupert, Lulu Levan and Tommy D, plus very special guest Zaki from Point Blank Radio – serving up deep, soulful selections from four DJs with decades of dancefloor history between them.And it’s not just about the DJs. Gabriella Groves joins us for a special live PA, bringing her powerful blend of soul, Motown and R&B to the night.
