Get ready for the LAST EVER Cocoa Butter session at Lounge! With DJ's Kano, Takse, Ennio Styles, Spankie Hazard and friends at the helm, this legendary club night ran from 1990-1999, championing the best and rarest Funk/Soul/Jazz/Latin/Hip Hop/Afrobeat music alongside regular live acts. Cocoa Butter was the catalyst and flashpoint for so much great soulful music that has come out of Melbourne since, and it will never be forgotten - without Cocoa Butter there wouldn't be any Bamboos! Be there on Friday March 8th for one last throwdown: Kano, Ennio Styles, Chris Gill & Miss Goldie + a special one hour non-stop Live Mix from The Firemen featuring all the songs that Cocoa Butter taught us x.
Here we go... @unionstreet_studio
