Do you wake up in the middle of the night, breaking out in cold sweat, feeling the insatiable craving for funk & soul? Do you find it hard to concentrate on whatever you have on hand because you just ain't getting enough funk & soul tunes in your system? Well, do not fret, for the solution is here and your friendly Pushin' On Crew would be giving you something to look forward to this weekend.
The good folks of the Pushin' On Crew presents to you their Bumper Weekend, where they will be performing on 2 days at 2 different venues, showcasing 2 diverse sets of sounds. As they say, good things always come in pairs. I must say, it is a funky dopelicious way to kick off their 5th year by bringing to all you dudes and dudettes, more funk & soul that is straight from their hearts.
Pushin’On@Vutopia | Thu 25th Feb | Velvet Underground | Boogie Loop
The Pushin’On crew makes their long-awaited debut at Vutopia, one of Zouk’s most musically diverse nights. DJ Shellsuit and MC Masterpiece will present their most adventurous ‘live’ set yet. Funk + Soul + Boogie + Disco + Velvety layers of ‘live’ sound-on-sound looping. Dieticians recommend that this set be consumed on a proper dancefloor via a tasty sound system. Velvet Underground has both. The sound system is also sweet for vinyl and we’ll round off the night with some 45s in proper selecta style.
Free entry via guestlist is guaranteed for 200 people. To get on the guestlist, send a Facebook message to ‘Pushin’On Crew’ with your names.
We’ll also be recording the night on video for a Pushin’On documentary. So if you see us, put on your best smile!

Pushin’On@ Blu Jaz Café | Fri 26th Feb | Big Stuff
This is the original Pushin’On monthly that happens every last Fri. On this night, the Lion City Orchestra returns with a 90 min performance last seen in Oct 2009. The LCO is Singapore’s premier rare funk & soul band and on this night, you can catch the full repertoire of furious funk & gritty soul. Tonight’s special is the debut performance of a soul classic by the legendary Jean Knight. This is the first time this tune will be played ‘live’ in Singapore so don’t miss it.
From midnight onwards, DJ Shellsuit and MC Masterpiece jump behind the decks so the dancing can begin. Blu Jaz is expecting new speakers and your ears are needed to road test these babies. We hear that the sweet spot is on the dancefloor…. somewhere in the centre. How convenient!
