Shiftless Shuffle

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.Presented by JazzCoTech.This is an 18+ event
