Afronaught July 17, 2004

($10, $5 before midnight). If you're weary of 4/4 beats, Orin Walters, aka Afronaught, is the answer. Best known as a founding member of the West London broken beat collective Bugz in the Attic, Afronaught's cutting-edge productions cleverly blend nu-jazz, future funk, broken house, and soulful garage. Lately, though, his production techniques have been heading south ? in a good way. Currently recording his new album in Puerto Rico, he's adding Latin fuel to the fire, inducing boricua-style rhythms and vocals to dance with deep bass beats. Preview the Afro-heat, with support from DJ Dinesh, MC Big Driis, and Edwin Stats, at this special night presented by Drive By, Table 50, and Triple 5 Soul.
