The Sounds of Blackness

Inspired by the Frankie Knuckles NYC residency at Sound Factory Bar & Frankie's brilliant remix of "The Pressure" by Sounds of Blackness circa 1996, Elliott Matos (under the great direction of Amsterdam's legendary Roxy HARD ringleader, Steve Malenka) has nurtured this very SOULFUL HOUSE idea into a night dedicated to the Underground HOUSE music sounds that originated in the Gay cellar bars & the Dance Floor
mixed with Black, Latino, White and all the colors that came to be the vanguard of the Club Culture on the dance floors we experience today.

SOB this year on Saturday Oct 17 takes place in Tolhuistuin, Paradiso North with an amazing sound system that will provide the warm sea of bass and treble that spells out one line: "Lets Go Dancing". Elliott Matos & Paradiso Tolhuistuin are set to provide a proper New York City Dance Night that will
relieve "the Pressure of the World".

The DJ's for this night are native New Yorkers, here in Amsterdam for this ADE Sound of Blackness Dance floor & each has made their own mark in the House Music world of today.
We Got Soul... If You Want It !!
