Phat-N-Jazzy

Bio:

Founded by DJ BMF and DJ Slack in 1994, Phat N' Jazzy was designed as an alternative to Orlando's burgeoning rave scene and underage hip-hop parties. The music policy at the time was to provide a platform for Acid Jazz, "Trip Hop", and native tongue-style hip-hop. Before long the "alternative" became one of the hottest nights in the city, and as the night grew, DJs Q-Burn's Abstract Message and Pimp Daddy Nash were added to the weekly roster. The four resident DJs would soon join together to form Eighth Dimension Records, an outlet for the original material the crew was starting to produce, and to show the world the real underground sound of Orlando. Twelve years later, Phat N' Jazzy remains as strong as ever. DJs BMF and Gerard Mitchell (DJ Slack) remain residents behind the turntables, dedicated to bringing an eclectic mix of jazzy hip-hop, nouveau soul, rare funk and laid-back house to a musically appreciative crowd each and every Tuesday night. Phat N' Jazzy is a tour stop must for the most influential artists of the underground hip hop & down-tempo genres, while remaining dedicated to exposing new talent and helping to launch the careers of the next generation of big-name acts. This mission is the mark of a truly legendary club night, and it is the mark of Phat N' Jazzy...
