This is a mix I made for my homies who are celebrating the 4th anniversary of one of the coolest parties in the world, Down and Derby. It’s a roller disco party and I wanted to put together some jams that I’ve played there over the years (as well as some more obscure joints), but I also wanted to play with the depth to the roller dance “genre.”
I remember going to roller skating parties as a kid and dancing to new jack swing, hip hop and R&B, but obviously the genre is most closely associated with funky disco from the 70s. However, 80s funk, house and even early techno were roller groovers in various cities and eras so I had to toss some of those in as well. And if you go to Detroit, Kenny “Moodymann” Dixon is still doing it up roller-style with soulful sounds, house and more. So really, it’s not so much about the roller skates and more about just straight up groovin on the dancefloor to anything worth dancing to!
Many thanks to Down and Derby family and make sure to check out the anniversary party May 29th at Belvedere’s in Pittsburgh, and be sure to peep D+D when it rolls through your town, be it Vegas, LA, NYC or just about anywhere else for that matter!
