Activate!

ACTIVATE: your monthly weekend warm-up Every first Friday, Cameron Kelly takes over Bob & Barbara’s for four hours of house and disco, built to shake off the workweek and switch the weekend on. Come straight from work, grab a Special and ease into the groove. The set builds from soulful, jazzy house through classic and nu-disco into funk and deeper cuts, so by 9 PM the whole room has fully activated. Cameron has been involved in the house music community since the mid-’90s, starting in New Orleans where he founded Kinetic Productions. He’s worked dancefloors coast to coast and decks with many pioneers of House Music. Now Philadelphia, the birthplace of disco, is home. First Fridays · 5–9 PM Bob & Barbara’s Lounge · 1509 South St, Philadelphia Bar is cash only.
