Heavy-bumping, hyper-modern soul music straight from Detroit

Waajeed has lived many lives in music already, but they’re all bound to the same pursuit of true soul music in a modern context. He got his start with the legendary Slum Village, arguably Detroit’s most infamous hip-hop crew, before moving on to producer Dwele’s first album, Rize. Since then, Waajeed has been relentlessly productive, from forming the mighty Platinum Pied Pipers and The Jazz Kats to forming his own labels Bling47 and Dirt Tech Reck, releasing on Jazzy Sport, Sound Signature, Fat City and much more besides.

With musicality rooted in soul, the tough pump of Motor City techno and house music in his veins and a forthright personality to carry his musical vision, Waajeed is the real deal. Just check last year’s triumphant From The Dirt LP if you need more proof.

To add further fuel to this night, Waajeed’s appearance takes place in the evening on a national holiday, so there’s no excuse to not be fully locked in for this one.
