Spindle’s Dynamite at Radio Beirut

Saturday, Feb 7, 2015
9:00pm -> 3:00am
Radio Beirut

Co-founder of the BGC, DJ Spindle (aka Ernesto Chahoud) is back with another funk explosion on Saturday the 7th of February and the first Saturday of every other month.

He’s one of the region’s most sought-after DJs and has perhaps the most enviable 45 funk-soul-afrobeat record collections in the Middle East, after more than a decade digging the deep and dusty crates of Lebanon and around the world.

In 2009 he founded the soul/jazz/funk DJ and artist platform The Beirut Groove Collective, alongside partner DJ Stikfiggr. The BGC later became the main destination for warehouse funk and rare groove strictly-vinyl parties in the Middle East, also taking their parties to Paris, London, Dubai and Amman.

Chahoud has made it his mission to inject the local nightlife scene with a non-commercial spirit that puts underground rare music as the cause. As the BGC, he’s brought some of the world’s leading funk, soul, disco and hip hop DJs to Beirut such as Florian Keller (Party Keller, Munich), Nickodemus (Turntables on the Hudson, NYC), Jan Weissenfeldt (Poets of Rhythm) and DJ Format (UK). When he’s not throwing incredible BGC parties, he’s filling the dancefloor as a resident at Radio Beirut.

Join him for another strictly-vinyl night of the best in rare deep funk, afrobeat, breaks and northern soul.
