Anyone who is tired of going to the same places every weekend and hearing the same songs is invited to Bar 127 (Limassol) on the 08-09-07 for “The Funk Files” – Presented by Limassoul

Dj’s Mark-E(Germany), Deep Fried(Australia) & Phat Finxx(Cyprus) will be joining together to play soulful mix of house, funk & jazz in a relaxed chilled out environment. All 3 guys have a unique music style, so the end result will be a night of varied music styles – almost like a meze.

This will be the second installment of summer lounge events (In August Limassoul bought Urban Notion (New Zealand) to Cyprus as part of their 2007 European Tour), and this night will not disappoint those who attend.

When: 08-09-07
Where: Bar 127, Limassol
Time: 2200
How Much: 2CYP
