The Afterparty Episode 4: Black History Month Special

Welcome to The Afterparty where this episode we are celebrating all the amazing contributions of Black Americans to art, science, culture, sports, literature, politics and of course music. Black history month never made much sense to us here at The Afterparty. How can you condense the contributions and history of Black Americans to only one month? This should be a YEAR LONG celebration. There is so so much to celebrate! Our cover this month represents one of our greatest heros, Dr. Martin Luther King. In keeping with our cover theme, we picture him and his lovely wife Coretta at one of our afterparties enjoying the soulful house sounds we love so much. Would Dr. King have been a house head? We'd like to think so. After all, so much of the music is about love, hope, strength, unity and pride. This week we would like to celebrate some of our favorite Black house music artists and producers. Hour 1 features a signature vocal house mix from our resident vocal house lover SirRound. He's going to feature some of his favorite Black vocalists new and old that have made soulful house music what it is today. Hour 2 will feature another all vinyl blend from ac$ featuring Black house music producers that have influenced him in his many years of collecting and playing house music. Without the contributions of Black artists there would never have been the sound we call house so we thank you. The afterparty supports Black Lives Matter with all our heart. No lives matter until Black lives matter. Nuff said. Enjoy!
