From growing up on the Lower East Side of NYC in the 70s and 80s to touring the world with Fun Lovin Criminals, award winning BBC broadcaster Huey Morgan brings his expert knowledge of blues, funk, soul, disco, latin, jazz, hip hop, punk and rock n’ roll music with customary New York cool to his weekly radio shows and DJ sets around the world.
The musical equivalent of the cosmic Big Bang, disco, hip hop and funk collided in an almighty collision in late 70s New York, with call and response choruses sat astride Get Down breaks and fast’n’furious hip hop mixing. It was a truly magical moment, and one that Huey captures perfectly with his funk-loving NYC Block Party.
From Chic to Donna Summer and Kool and the Gang to James Brown via Grandmaster Flash and The Jackson 5 and more recent flavours like Jurassic 5, Cypress Hill and Michael Kiwanuka, Huey’s NYC Block Party is the sound of funk, soul, disco and hip hop jams battling it out on the dancefloor, a riotous celebration of the Good Times.
As The Sugar Hill Gang might have said: ‘Huey will make you throw your hands up in the air like you just don’t care.’
