baile fun-nk - john (austin,tx)
With Diplo mania being in full swing and there being all sorts of great little DJ nights all over Austin these days- it seemed like it was only a matter of time before someone did a whole night based around Baile Funk and Favela music. DJ Orion will be banging the new 7th street contender Creek Side Bar with all sorts of high BPM, foreign and filthy dance tracks straight from the Favelas of Brazil. That bright blue building will be hosting a bumping Rio dance party with the (predicted) likes of Bonde Do Role, Bola de Fogo, Cidinho e Doca and of course the MIA influencing Furacão 2000. The Feb 2nd event coincides nicely with the celebration of Carnival and will be much more fun than both the cruise ship and the big stupid Carnival party that happens ever year… which by the way- costs a whopping 35 bucks and has waaaay less booty beats. Go to Creekside instead and catch a truly talented DJ play music that he loves and count on his set being as good if not better than his madness he performed at Draft Sessions.
See you there. Also, check out these photos from the Diplo / CSS / Bonde De Rolo show at the Parish in Austin!
