The Shakedown 23 Year Anniversary

Shakedown 23 Year Anniversary! Friday 10/11 @ Warehouse On Watts 10p-3a feat. SANDY RIVERA / KINGS OF TOMORROW alongside LADY ALMA live performance! w the residents ROB PAINE • WILLYUM • TY SALONE Sandy Rivera… As one of the most highly regarded producers of his – or any other – generation, Sandy Rivera’s place in house music history is already assured. Recording under both his own name and his legendary Kings of Tomorrow moniker, Rivera’s unparalleled creativity and gift for forging timeless house records have placed him in a league of his own, and without him the house landscape would boast a far less richly coloured vista. With his massive hit ‘Finally’ (recently covered by Alicia Keys & Swedish House Madia) as well as other hits like ‘The Calling’, ‘It’s In The Lifestyle’ and ‘Trouble’, Sandy Rivera will be looked back on as one of the true greats of the scene; a pioneering artist whose passion for house music is continually realised in the music he creates. For now, though, he’s still busy creating his legacy: long may he continue. Lady Alma… What else can we say about our sister Lady Alma that we haven’t said already? She is and has been a gem for the Philadelphia house & soul music community for the past 30+ years. Lady Alma is one of the many reasons Philadelphia’s sonic scene is so world-renowned, her uplifting anthems are considered instantly infectious wherever they’re heard. The Philly songstress has made a worldwide name for herself with her eclectic and uplifting musical repertoire. Last Alma is known for a range of uniquely inspirational jams – among them “Happiness”, “Believe”, “Chances”, “Hold It Down”, “Peace You’ll Find” as well as ‘This Is The Life’, ‘Love Right Now’, ‘All The Way Far Away’ that she appeared on with Rob Paine for Worship Recordings & BBE. If you think her recorded material is amazing then you are in for a real treat when you hear her perform live! The Shakedown… The Shakedown event was created in October of 2001 by Rob Paine, Willyum & Zacharijah to provide a showcase for the music and artists recording on Worship Recordings. It has been going strong consistently every second Saturday at various clubs & underground spaces through Philadelphia but has also expanded to DC, NYC, Miami and Baltimore. The concept was simple from the beginning and stays constant to this day. To present deep, soulful, funky, dubby house music on proper sound system in a safe environment with minimal organic visuals. Recently, young gunner Ty Salone was inaugurated into the Shakedown fold. His sound & personality are exactly what will help keep the Shakedown keep moving into higher heights. Forward never ever backward…
