Video: King Britt
I had just finished a brief interview with DJ Rekha, host of NYC’s internationally renowned Bhangra Basement parties, when Philadelphia’s King Britt rounded the corner from Club 115. You might remember King Britt from the excellent ’90s hip-hop/jazz fusion group Digable Planets. He’s hosting a big blowout event tomorrow night on two stages at the Beauty Bar. Live bands will perform outside while DJs spin in the house. Expect to hear a multitude of variations on reggae, hip-hop and house. But I’ll let him give you the full spiel himself. Check out the video below.

Any mention of King Britt should recognize that the man was a driving force behind the house music scene in Philly for over 15 years. His Sylk 130 joint, “When the Funk Hits the Fan” is a classic tribute to Philly soul, redone for the 90s/00s. Plus, he’s a great, great guy. Still does Back 2 Basics at the awesome, intimate Silk City in the Iladelph. Check him out.
