James Brown - People get up and drive your funky soul (9 min version!)
Every third Friday of the month dj's Alviz, Lord Fader & Taco Fett organize a party at club Bitterzoet (Spuistraat 2, Amsterdam), called Struttin', with the best & freshest raw funk & soul and some hiphop, reggae & beat flavors!
Struttin' History
Deep or raw funk is a term used for rare 7" funk records with very heavy drum-breaks, raw bass
lines and most of the time accompanied by a screaming Hammond organ, phat horns and scratching guitars.
Because of the heavy raw sound of the so-called funk45s, (hiphop) djs like Fatboy Slim, dj Shadow &
Kenny Dope, use these funk45s for their remixes. Serious deep funk collectors search
the whole world for a very rare 45 and pay sometimes up to $5.000 for it. They search for records
of bands with names like: Larry Ellis & Black Hammer, King George & the Fabulous souls, Judge
Suds & the Soul detergents and The Soul Diggers.
Those same collectors have released some of their priceless funk45s on LPs. Examples are:
Sister Funk by Ian Wright and Legendary Deep Funk by Keb Darge (both BBE records). There are
also some small dedicated labels which release new recorded deep funk and re-release hard to
find original 45s. In London and New York, there are clubs, like the well-known Jazz Café, with regular
deep funk nights and live performances.
We wanted to introduce this raw soul music to Amsterdam and the rest of Holland. So, we
started the monthly clubnight Struttin' at Mazzo, April 2001. DJ's we had so far include:
Keb Darge (BBE, UK)
Bones (Big Daddy Magazine, UK)
Jazzman Gerald (Jazzman records, UK)
John Stapleton (Dope on Plastic, UK)
Gianluca (Baby T records, UK)
Egon (Stones Throw records, USA)
December 2001 we also presented our first Struttin' live special with the Soul Destroyers [UK]
at Paradiso, Amsterdam.
February 2002 we had our first HEAVY Struttin' (deep funk, hiphop & breaks) at Paradiso, Amsterdam.
Now we have a monthly Struttin' at the best club in Amsterdam, called Bitterzoet (Spuistraat 2, Amsterdam). Next to raw funk & (northern) soul originals we play a mix of quality hiphop, reggae and (60s) beat.
