OBSESSION: KC the Funkaholic, October 22nd!

Afro-American music culture is rich, deeply rooted, and of immeasurable value. Imagine a world without jazz, hip-hop, or house. Boring! These genres have not only enriched the world sonically, they also carry a deeper social and emotional meaning. In dark times, there’s more to learn here than just the music. Because even under oppression, beauty can emerge, through resilience, positivity, community, and hope. Hope that things will get better. Not by waiting, but by rolling up your sleeves and creating something out of nothing.

KC the Funkaholic aka Kees in Space. His mother calls him Kees. Music lover, digger, radio presenter, and promoter at Paradiso, he’s been DJing professionally for over 40 years. Born on earth in 1965, he lived through the golden era of disco (and every revival since). Jazz, especially Sun Ra, remains his teacher.

Kindred Spirits, Bassline, Super-Sonic Jazz, Summer Dance Forever, alongside his son Otis, these are just a few of his babies.

On October 22, KC brings his world of sound to the booth at CUE for a silent listening session. Doors open at 20:00, music starts at 20:30

There is €5.00 prepayment per reservation. This will be deducted from your tab at the end of the evening
