The So Very Show

This week’s So Very show has got some goodies for you:

First up, DJ Saya will be swinging by to talk about Concord Dawn, a drum and bass duo that is coming to Indigo tomorrow night.

What’s that? DnB on a HOUSE music show? That’s right! Saya’s been on the show before, and brings with her a great blend of both melodic and banging tunes that house heads can appreciate too. The Honolulu scene is a small one, and you can often see Haboh and even Ms.Angel at a dnb event, supporting our local dnb scene. (Disclosure: Ms.Angel will be djing at the Concord Dawn show, in another room.) Lightahs up!

Next up we’ve got THE RETURN of DJ Fez! DJ Fez first came on our show in September of 2004. Since moving to Hawaii several years ago, he’s become an indispensible part of the scene. A residency at Speakeasy Saturdays brought him into The Living Room and into our hearts. When not behind the decks, he can be found on the dancefloor, making new friends, dancing, and being asked about house music.

Fez was recently called to extend his house music ambassadorship overseas to Iraq. In March of 2006 we had one last set with him on The So Very Show and then we bid him farewell. Now he’s reached the halfway point of his tour and he’s come back to visit us! He’s also been keeping up with house music through the wonders of the internet, so expect something new and fresh, and as always, lots of fun!

Scott Carrelli will be our final guest for this evening. Special thanks to DJ Akio for hooking it up! Scott comes from San Francisco where he is a resident for SatelliteSF at Anu. He’ll be playing an exciting blend of deep house, progressive, breaks, electro and techno. He’s also djing at Next Door with Luke Fair on Friday, and Lotus Soundbar on Saturday.

We’re BAAACK!

The So Very Show tour of Chicago was a SUCCESS! (and by that I mean we got back in one piece.) We had a blast. Much Mahalos to DJ FLX, Avondale Music Society, Marloca and Melon, Karl Almaria, Michael Lacey and all the wonderful heads who made our stay So Very enjoyable. Chi-town, you now have a special place in our hearts and we will be back!

That being said, this week’s show definitely isn’t pulling any punches. We’ve got a whole mess of new promos that will keep us bumpin on the radio for weeks. No worries, we’ll be sharing them with our So Very listeners fo’ sho’. But first, this week we’ve got some very special guests:

James Curd from The Greenskeepers (Chicago, Om Records) is in town to play for the new spot, Lotus in Waikiki. Mahalos to Ramyt and Mark Chittom (aka DJ Mark, aka Burt Reynolds) from Lotus for hooking it up. It’s been exactly 1 year, 1 month, and 3 days since he last rocked the airwaves of Honolulu on The So Very Show… and we can’t wait for him to do it all over again! (Click here for last year’s goodness.)

The Greenskeepers are certainly busy! The follow up to their debut, Pleetch (Released Jan 25, 2005) is already out, entitled “Polo Club” (Released October 24, 2006). We’re excited to hear the new tunes!

Plus too, did I mention that James Curd is playing at the newest club in Waikiki, Lotus? This Saturday, he’ll be rocking what is rumored to be one of the hottest soundsystems on the island.

The Chicago goodness just won’t stop: our good friend Richard Henry will on the show this week, too! Richard is a Chi-town transplant who has played all over Honolulu, including holding down a residency at our local Buddha Bar. Richard loves deep house and has a lot of experience with it – he’s got a great way of weaving deep, soulful tunes in with bass-thumping, bumpin’ Chicago-style house music! It’s been too long, and we’re glad to have him back!
