Zapp knows how to party.
One can’t understate the impact of the robo-funk family affair out of Dayton, Ohio.
You know the hits - 'More Bounce To The Ounce', 'Computer Love', 'So Ruff, So Tuff, I Can Make You Dance' or 'Doo Wa Ditty (Blow That Thing)' - anthems that have lit up dance floors the world over - and continue to do so decades on from original release.
That instantly recognizable signature sound, made up of seriously bumping grooves and of course, the 'Golden Throat' trademark custom-made talk-box is utterly contagious. Autotune’s funky forebear, it’s syrup-y legacy spreading from T-Pain to two helmeted Frenchmen - Daft Punk.
Armed with sizzling chemistry, high energy, tight playing and a wicked sense of humour, brace yourself as City Recital Hall gets hit by a funkquake this December. The electrifying Dayton-sound will have you shaking it with pure joy.
Supporting Zapp is DJ Shan Frenzie.
DJ Shan Frenzie has been around the block more than a few times. He's got over thirty years of experience behind him, a vinyl record collection that will make any deejay envious, and a concrete reputation as one of Australia’s most trusted party rockers.
His Groove Therapy radio show and podcast has been broadcasting weekly on 2SER FM every Friday midday since 2002, and has become an essential listen to all musically savvy people in all corners of the globe.
As a veteran touring DJ, Shan has rocked dance floors in every major clubbing capital city around the world - and has had support billing alongside a who’s who of DJ royalty including legends as diverse as Nile Rodgers and Chic, Soul II Soul, and DJ Kool Herc. Infact, pioneering deejay Grandmaster Flash requested Shan as his official support DJ for his 2013 Sydney tour - and only months earlier, Shan could be seen cutting it up on stage with New York's Hip Hop legends The Ultramagnetic MC’s.
