Alongside our Slow Grind Fever residents Richie1250, Mohair Slim and Pierre Baroni, our midnight set will see the return of Dusty Stylus (Dan Ring), resident DJ at Bacon Fat and one our favourite recurring guests at SLOW GRIND FEVER. He told us he'd been amassing a grip of sweet new slow grinders lately, so we booked him for the midnight spot post haste in order to hear them how they ought to be heard, sizzling off the original records and out the giant speakers at Bar Open while the smoke envelopes us...

It's that time again, as Melbourne's smokiest mid-century slow dance party SLOW GRIND FEVER presents another great leap forward into the lurid neon world of the 1980s with SLOW GRIND '80s #4: EROTIC SLOW JAMS 1977 - 1993, upstairs at The Tote. Our usual red lights will turn PURPLE as we pump up the smoke and grind to the sensual sounds of DJs Richie1250, Jeremy Spellacey (Crown Ruler) and MzRizk, with intermittent bedazzling performances from Genevieve Callaghan and Sneaky Sally. Some notes about our guests... JEREMY SPELLACEY runs the Crown Ruler label / shop / touring company, works curating and licensing releases for the esteemed London based Soundway Label, and in 2017 compiled the rightly lauded "Crown Ruler Sound" compilation for Spacetalk records. He essentially specializes in all kinds of esoteric, groovy records from exactly our chosen period, and we can't wait to hear what he brings to the party. MZRIZK is a name the party people trust and a deep lover of the 80s slow jam. She played a killer set at Slow Grind 80s #2 and we are stoked to have her back to do it again. GENEVIEVE CALLAGHAN performs mesmirising, multilayered accapella music under the name HERO. For this evening she'll be joined by tenor saxophonist Dandelion Jackson (Sugar Fed Leopards) to take some classic 80s jams into deep, slow grindy places.... SNEAKY SALLY is a detective. A twin-peaksy kind of detective. She knows many things. Things about you. NOTE: Tickets for this party are limited to 100. All the previous Slow Grind 80s parties have sold out and this is the smallest venue we've had one in, so if you wanna come, don't play yourself... x Richie1250 SLOW GRIND 80s #4: EROTIC SLOW JAMS 1977 - 1993 with DJs Richie1250, Jeremy Spellacey (Crown Ruler) and MzRizk, plus performances by Genevieve Callaghan and Sneaky Sally Sat Aug 13th at The Tote (upstairs) 10pm - 230am, tickets $12+BF via thetotehotel.com FURTHER NOTES: - There will be a smoke machine going all night and it will get very smokey.

Don't touch anybody without getting their permission first, and don't be all up in someone's personal space if they aren't inviting you. SGF Mix #68! Side Richie1250 is a nice stew of latin flavoured early 50s jazz and r&b, Side Fabulous Fez is all sweet Jamaican slowies from the 60s and early 70s, and we finish on Side Pierre with some nice Memphis soul, r&b and jazzy piano. Enjoy the mix, and if you're in town do come down and dig the full experience, with smoke all around you and the bodies grinding and the music sizzling off the original records...
