On
Friday, June 18, True Skool in association w/ Zulu Northstar & Eve
Lounge presents Electric Kingdom, a new monthly event (3rd Fridays)
featuring Ren the Vinyl Archaeologist of True Skool spinning electro,
breaks & house - past, present and future at Eve Lounge. This
unique event unites b-boys and b-girls as well as breakbeat/electro fans
to jam to the quintessential "break" which has given birth to hip hop
culture and the electro funk music founded by Amen-Ra of Universal Hip
Hop Culture, Afrika Bambaataa.
From the "breaks" which set off
dance floors in the late 70s and early 80s to the many genres of dance
music which developed as a result, such as Electro, Miami Bass,
Freestyle, House and Nu Breaks, Ren the Vinyl Archaeologist (founder of
True Skool) stays true to his name as he explores the many genres that
has influenced his unique style, which is deeply rooted in The Funk. As
a b-boy as early as 1983, Ren the Vinyl Archaeologist grew up in the
suburbs of NYC and was fan of music long before he touched turntables.
In the early 90s, Ren was a regular participant of raves in NYC long
before the mainstream knew what a rave was. Partying at underground
rave club, NASA (made famous by the movie, "Kids") and raves in
surrounding states, Ren's strong appreciation for music led to a
successful career as a DJ and promoter. Since moving to San Francisco
in 1998, Ren had quickly earned a reputation as a promoter who featured
emerging artists, turntablists and hip hop legends, some of whom include
Zion I, DJ Premier and Jazzy Jeff. In 2001, True Skool won Best of the
Bay in the SF Bay Guardian. As a DJ, Ren has shared bills with Afrika
Bambaataa, Z-Trip, Cut Chemist and DJ Q-Bert, to name a few.
"I
wanted to create a space for the dancers and to create a vibe unique to
the Bay Area." says Ren the Vinyl Archaeologist. "As a dancer myself,
I know the type of music that energizes the people. Whether you be a
b-boy, b-girl, raver or house music enthusiast, this is event is for you
if you like to dance."
This is event is hosted by Mooncricket
Films, Sistah Brown, Zulu Northstar, Lori (CMC) and
Sisterz of the
Underground. Flavorgroup is known for curating their "Flavor" dance
contests featuring the best dancers from the bay and beyond, which is
capsulated in the recent release of "Strength In Flavor" DVD. Zulu
Northstar is a Zulu Nation affiliate for Northern California.
Mooncricket Films, founded by bboy/filmmaker, Beto Lopez also has
hosting duties w/ Lori of California Music Channel. The Sisterz of the
Underground are an all-female collective of Hip Hop artists who have
been holding it down in the bay for 9 years. Comprised of b-girls, graf
artists, dj's, emcees, and promoters, SOTU is one of the strongest
