JUNE 15: Pisco Bar presents Mutual Collective & ANRK
Whilst living in Bali, Tristan submerged himself into the deep depths of underground music. Whether it would be house or hip hop, he always found himself halfway through the night wondering how he ended up in the grimiest spots in town. Now he’s a house addict, he literally has an anxiety attack and needs to take 8 valiums whenever Bruno Mars gets played. He started actively DJing throughout 2016 to gain inspiration from a collective of genres and artists. Beware though, he is a very emotional DJ. The sound of a well composed rhythmic section will bring a tear to his eye.
ANRK is a DJ/producer who varies in style and has been active for most of this decade.

Having DJed for over a decade, he is equally at home laying down energetic rhythms for sweaty dancefloors or creating a relaxed mood and ambience for more loungey settings. Often DJing using the classic vinyl format, Slutski continues to indulge his record collecting and crate digging addiction.

Music Is Love sees the Da Funkie Junkie curated nights with Da Funkie Junkie and Jose Nigel on resident music duties.

The musical ethos is inspired by legendary DJs Larry Levan and David Mancuso and their modern incarnations, Dimitri from Paris, Joey Negro and Danny Krivit. The early hours will provide customers with an opportunity to discover the “roots” of dance music i.e. soul, funk, jazz, disco and Afro-latin beats.
