With a contagious energy that ignites dance floors and sparks social change, this ensemble is a positive force to be reckoned with.

This powerhouse group plays a mix of chart topping female hits and some hidden gem women artists. Through carefully curated setlists, they strive to diminish inequality and celebrate the trailblazers who have shaped the sounds of these genres.

Featuring members of King Muskafa, Second Hand Dreamcar, The Superband, Hi-Phoniqs, Mocking Shadows, and The Strathcona Royales, you can be sure you’ll be groovin’ all night and funkin’ it to the man!
