Venue addresses and numbers

pick of the week:

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26

THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT (monthly) (deep house) (house) @ Silk City w/ Bazil (of The Rurals), Carl Michaels, Willyum and Kevin V, $5. Probably the deepest, most organic, most cock-numbingly soulful vocal-house to ever come out of the U.K. is due to Bazil and his production wizardry behind The Rurals. Bazil, who’s released music for Peng, DiY and Philly’s own Society Hill, always rides the vibe with a smooth touch while behind the decks -- oozing out a deep, jazzy, lush sound that intermingles gracefully with our soul-laden Philly-hearts. The PhillySoulCollective fellas will get the night started -- spinning funky, soulful house on four turntables, two DJs at a time.
