We fully support and love what these DC cats have been putting down for the past year. With an intoxicating mix of old, new and future greasy soul, DJ’s Adrian Loving (we go back to ’77), Jahsonic, Stylus and a solid rotation of surprise guest deserve some light for their efforts to unearth some tracks that have been forgotten by some. This is a must attend for those pushing 50 or 25. Well done brothers!
Check out this mix in celebration:
Here’s a description:
Axel F is a party started in 2011 in Washington DC by DJ Jahsonic, DJ Adrian Loving and DJ Stylus celebrating the illest jheri curl funk, champagne soul and lazer boogie cuts from 1977 – 1987. It’s everything you never hear at your standard ’80s party and it’s as fun as it sounds. We play lots of slow jams for the ladies.
