HUMP! Presents Afro-Latin Soul! with Ephraim Owens September 5, 2008

Every Friday night, resident DJs Resinthol and Paco team up with percussionist El Cocinero to bring some soul to the end of an Austin work week during their weekly HUMP! event at Plush. Its never been about the glitz of nightlife, but rather the gathering of friends and welcoming of guests to an atmosphere built on a foundation of classic funk, disco, and boogie.

People come to HUMP! to dance, which is rare in Austin these days. There is no feeling of exclusivity. In fact, its just the opposite All are welcome and the music selection follows the mood of the crowd. All you have to do is join the party, let the music hit home, and let the boogie take control.

Its common to find guest like Tigre Liu and Claude 9 of Afrofreque stop in and lend some of their own soul to the music. Other frequent guests include JJ Lopez and DJ Rise from San Antonio, sax player Reverend Pain, and DJ Supafly.
