Acapella: Halloween Extravaganza

The house event this side of Xmas for Halloween, we will be blessed at Acapella with two very special guests, The Swing Junkies & saxophone extraordinary, Lewis McCallum!

With support from our Acapella resident DJs Nanite & Dubby24, we're sure to have a hell of a night bringing you the devilishly highest quality house of 2010!

The Swing Junkies:

The Swing Junkies are a fantastic duo made up of Chris King & Jo Long. Chris has been a DJ for over 20 years. His biggest gigs were at Ministry of Sound in London for the MOBO awards and Frisky. He has also played at Vibes and had his very own night called Rise here in Auckland.

Chris is also a producer and delves into genres playing everything from deep to progressive house, but now firmly playing an anything goes approach to all house with a funk element.

Jo is breaking into the scene and having played at a number of underground parties, her unique blend of funk, disco inspired house and jackin' house, with some tougher elements thrown in really take it to the crowd.

The Swing Junkies will raise the roof and leave you wanting more. Influenced heavily by Inland Knights, their sound is fresh and based around jacking house but will lead into tech house and a kinda hybrid jacking electro...
