SangSun Radio: "Rollerspace Boogie" ft. Shred One

A handsome load of the late 70's and 80's funk phenomenon known as "boogie" has been attributed to the stylizing libido of the roller skate rink. Bad movies aside, this feel good, sexy music expands far beyond the boundaries of the skate rink and camera lens, stretching even to the distant realms of outer space. With that in mind, the Sanguine Sunday crew pushed our eleventh episode in the theme of "Rollerspace Boogie".

Imagine rollerskating on the polar ice caps of Mars, with hologram powered skates, and well Mars is really just a psychosomatic dream. That's the kind of paradox we work with. All antagonisms are harmoniously joined in this scandalously lovely brand of funk music. From the thumping bass line to the high tonal keys, the seductively hoarse vocals to enchanting harmonies, and to the hot blooded, bass guitar riffs highlighted by rapid fire lasers, rollerspace boogie will take you there.


Cultivating our booogie taste buds, we feature a mad ill, soul inspired funk set by the illustrious DJ Shred One. Afterwards, we chop it up with Shred One about her beginnings on the clocks, the much needed warmth of boogie music, and the open ended future of djing. Listen to that Rollerpsace Boogie.

Fiending for more boogie love? You can peep Shred cuttin' it up at LiPo Lounge in Chinatown with the rest of the Sweaterfunk Crew every Sunday night. Enjoy a potent brew of special whiskey, play a game or two of pac man, and get your groove on to strictly vinyl jams in the finest underground basement San Francisco has to offer. LiPo also happens to be home of the most stunning facades--a sort of cave portal to a Chinese-American 50's noir film-- in the entire Bay Area.


You can also listen to Shred One spinning her own boogie-down vision of funky soul at Le Circque, Thursday nights at Yoshi's. Read up at Get Sync'd (where I yanked the photo, big ups internet community!).
