Grooves Get Greasier Than Your Chips

Shoutout to the Superstar DJ from Lewisham, who stepped up mid-set to drop his first-ever vinyl—a crisp spin of Trevor Walters’ "Stuck on You." A bold move for a first wax purchase, but with its slick lovers’ rock charm, it slotted in seamlessly, offering a soulful breather before the night went full throttle. From there, Vinylly Friday locked into its signature fusion of jazz, funk, and hip-hop, keeping the floor moving with effortless style. Soul II Soul’s "In The Heat of the Night" wrapped around the room like a warm bass-heavy hug, while Ronny Jordan’s "Get to Grips" oozed that late-night jazz-funk swagger, giving the crowd a moment to sip their drinks and nod in appreciation. But when it came to sheer "Stone Cold Killer" status, Willie Bobo’s "Spanish Grease" (Dorfmeister Con Madrid De Los Austrias Mix) took no prisoners. Latin-infused funk with a deep groove so undeniable, you’d have to be bolted to the floor to resist. As for the "Dance Floor Filler"? Look no further than Ramsey Lewis’ "Do What You Wanna" (Mr. Scruff Remix). The bass hit deep, the rhythm snapped hard, and the crowd got stuck right in—proof that jazz-funk, when done right, is dancefloor dynamite. The real surprise? Dinah Washington’s "Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t My Baby?" (Rae & Christian Remix). A smoky jazz classic reworked into a head-nodding, hip-hop-laced groove that caught everyone off guard before winning them over completely. With a vinyl selection tighter than a DJ Shadow breakbeat, Vinylly Friday’s Chip Shop Disco was a feast for the funk-hungry. Verdict: Deep grooves. Pure heat. No skips.
