Djs Spanish Fly and ARQ (ME) are bringing JUST GOT PAID (205 club) to Savalas for a one-off this Saturday (Nov. 28)

For all of you who aren’t skipping town for the holidays, come celebrate with us!

We’ve got nothing but classics all night–perfect for dancing away the Turkey leftovers, Cranberry Sauce, Pies, and Stuffing.

Much love and we hope to see you there!

I’ve definitely been slacking on getting this out, but here it is!

This Mix was partially inspired by: an anti-energy drink; a 12AM siesta; Bromance in the club; Tuesday Mini-Adventures; Coconut Water; The Pacific Ocean; Warehouse parties; Being in Love; and the letter K.
It’s jam packed with something for the tiny dancer in all of us. ENJOY and Thanks for listening!

Cheers,
dj ARQ

“Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain’t goin’ away.”

“Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that man’s shoes.”

“Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just sorta do ‘em all together, I guess.”

Dam Funk is bringing back that West Coast Electro-Funk sound with his newest LP ‘Toeachizown’ (Stones Throw Records).

I can’t help but reminisce of the days & nights I spent with my pop-n-locking crew back in Ridgewood (Shout outs to Bhakti+Jahnu+Cyn+Josh…Miss ya’ll) or listening to ‘Purple Rain’; there’s definitely Prince references all over Dam’s catalogue (and I love it).
