An Wegbereitern von House Music hat es bei den von Tama Sumo und Lakuti gehosteten Finest Friday-Nächten noch nie gemangelt – und so begrüßen beide heute Chicago-Legende Boo Williams. Seit Anfang der 1980er legt Boo auf, damals stark inspiriert von Ron Hardy und Larry Heard, als Producer wurde er schließlich von seinem Freund Glenn Underground begleitet und supportet. Seitdem ist Boo der Produktionsumgebung treu geblieben und zeigt sich auch weiterhin von Clubbesuchen inspiriert. Mit der kommerziellen Szene muss sich Boo hingegen nicht messen – seine Platten erschienen auf Imprints wie Relief, Djax, Peacefrog, Residual, Rush Hour und Strictly Jaz Unit Muzic, unzählige andere Labels und Releases Anderer klangen später stark von Boo inspiriert. Er selbst bleibt einzigartig, beseelt und kraftvoll, stets nah dran an den Wurzeln der Szene. Eine andere Schule und Generation stellen Nu Guinea dar: Das neapolitanisch-berlinische Duo zeigte sich seit 2014 an Italo Boogie, Funk, Disco aber auch am breiten Feld Afrobeat interessiert – vor zwei Jahren erschien mit ‚The Tony Allen Experiments‘ ihre Neuinterpretation von Originalmaterial des Fela Kuti-Drummers, verlängerte die wegweisende Perkussion Tony Allens mit eigenem Interesse an Jazz-Funk und Tribalismus. Heute Nacht spielen Nu Guinea ein um Live-Keys erweitertes DJ-Set – und wie immer wird die Nacht als solche wieder eingerahmt von unseren Gastgeberinnen, Lakuti und Tama Sumo.

We are excited and humbled for our next curated night after Finest Friday in March 2018 with DJ Spinna, Joey Anderson and Kalypso Bang. Thanks to all that ventured out and made the night one to remember.
Our next guests are Chicago legend Boo Williams and the exciting, relatively new duo out of Naples, Nu Guinea.
The legend that is Boo Williams first stepped up to the turntables and started DJing in 1981, heavily influenced by Ron Hardy. Besides his influence from the originators of the scene, Boo is being cited as part of the second wave of producers leading the Windy City's movement in the heat of the mid to late nineties along the likes of Gemini, Derrick Carter, Paul Johnson and most fundamentally Glenn Underground. It was Glenn after all that first got him into producing after meeting at the formative parties in Chicago hosted by Lil' Louis way back, when he was harbouring a historical rave culture and just when Boo was starting to build a reputation for himself.
Hooking up with Green Velvet aka Curtis Jones’ much celebrated Relief Records in the mid 90s, the hard, jackin’ sub-label of Cajual, and later releasing on the Dutch label Djax, 1996 saw Boo produce his seminal album with the bouncy house of ‘Home Town Chicago’, the first in a series of reissues by Anotherday Records. Boo has since gone on to record for reputable imprints such a Strictly Jaz Unit, Relief Records, Nite Life, Peacefrog, Residual, Rush Hour and many more. He continues bringing some heavy cuts via Strictly Jaz Unit Muzic and many more.
Nu Guinea will be playing Panorama Bar for the first time. The Naples-formed, Berlin-based duo is part of the burgeoning Naples scene, formed around labels such as Early Sounds and Periodica Records, firmly associated with the likes of The Mystic Jungle Tribe, Whodamammy and others. Their self-titled debut EP was released in October 2014 on Early Sounds, followed by the ‘World’ EP on Tartelet, before eventually releasing the album ‘The Tony Allen Experiments’. This album saw Comet giving the duo creative license to reshape some of the legendary Fela Kuti’s drummer Tony Allen’s original works, with the result being this great album. Nu Guinea have gone on to launching their own label Ng records last year with a 7” titled Amore. They have recently released yet another gorgeous album, Nuova Napoli. The duo will be playing records as well as live keys tonight.
As usual we will be rounding off the night’s musical proceedings with DJ sets ourselves.
The summer is here, come celebrate the season with us, make new friends, celebrate love and life with all of us.
Much love,
Lerato & Kerstin (Lakuti & Tama Sumo)
