On Sunday 14th June, the JazzCotech Crew and DJ Perry Louis celebrate the 25th anniversary of Shiftless Shuffle with a very special session in the basement of 229. The journey began during the heyday of 'Messin’ Around', the legendary Saturday night Jazz Funk and Boogie party at the Jazz Café with Adrian Gibson and the JazzCotech Dancers. Each week, as part of a night of DJs, live music and club sessions, the JazzCotech dancers performed a twenty-minute showcase. Over more than ten years, this helped inspire the creation of Shiftless Shuffle. The name 'Shiftless Shuffle' comes from the Herbie Hancock track on the album 'Mr Hands', a true dancefloor jazz classic. The night first began in June 2001, and twenty-five years later we are still moving, still grooving, still shifting and shuffling, continuing to keep UK Dancefloor Jazz alive. Special Guest: Nicola Conte (DJ Set) World-renowned producer, guitarist, bandleader and DJ, Nicola Conte brings his deep musical vision to a rare vinyl-only DJ set. A serious collector with impeccable taste, his sets travel through 70s soul, rare funk, Afro-spiritual jazz, Brazilian sounds, Italian jazz and nu-disco. Drawing on releases with MPS Records, collaborations with Gianluca Petrella, and projects such as 'Umoja', expect depth, elegance and pure musical storytelling throughout.
