45 RPM club night
May 8th 2006 11:31
The main inspiration comes from the sixties with the mod, skinhead and rudeboy influence quite clear. As well as Jamaican music, you’ll be able dance the night away to black American soul, sixties R&B, revival mod and English 2-tone ska. If you want to take a break from dancing, Dimitris offers booths and side rooms to get acquainted to others.
The next night is this Friday, May 12th Upstairs@ Dimitri’s Restaurant on Cleveland St. Sound is supplied by the booming sound that is Intensified Sound System, which means heavjng bass for the reggae and perfect pitched horns for the northern soul.
The first two nights saw large numbers of people, dressed smartly as should be the case at a good mod/sixties night and this Friday’s club will be no different. For the reggae fans, classic dancing sounds is definitely a favourite at 45 RPM. Having DJed the first night and been a punter on the second there my reggae happiness was definitely high. Starts at 8 and is just 6 bucks.
Of course there has always been a subculture element connected to reggae. Skinheads, mods and punks have always had close connections to reggae as well as soul and r&b amongst other genres. In Sydney this is no exception with the city having a long history of subcultures. It is seen as important though not exclusive and 45 RPM really gets the balance of differences in the crowd right. It will be a very welcome night focussed on good times for all.
