We Love House returns to the rooftop bar of WETDeck this Saturday 20 July 2024 embracing house and disco classics. Disco is meant to be danced to and they promise you a packed floor where you can groove to beats of disco, garage and soulful house that will leave you wanting more up on the WETDeck. Head over to W Kuala Lumpur this Saturday as DONS OF DISCO featuring two pioneers Da Funkie Junkie (MY) and Cocoy Puyat (PHI), along with Gracie, pay homage to house and disco classics. Make this an evening that will move your mind, body, and soul.
Da Funkie Junkie aka Donovan Tho is the pioneer of disco, garage and soulful house in Malaysia and one of Asia’s most important ambassadors of these genres. His work has played a seminal role in the development of the clubbing scene in Malaysia. Since returning to Malaysia from law school in London in 1997, Donovan was the first DJ in Malaysia to play soul, funk, jazz, disco, bossa nova and afro-latin vibes in the dance music context in clubs and on national radio, when everyone else associated dance music with harder electronic genres. Donovan was also the first DJ in Malaysia to incorporate Loft, Gallery and Paradise Garage classics in his DJ sets at clubs and on his radio show, and also one of the first to do so in Asia.
Cocoy Puyat has been a professional DJ for the past 40 years. Born and raised in Manila to a very cultural family, he was classically-trained in music before discovering turntables in 1983. What started out with a rag tag sound system that he would set up every weekend playing house parties evolved into playing much larger venues. In 1988 he started playing on FM radio on DJ mix show “Saturday Nite Live” on the defunct 99.5 RT. Playing at Raves and Clubs came soon after. His typical set includes house music mixed up with disco. Then he digs deep into his musical treasure chest and churns out genres like jazz, funk and soul.
Also featuring, on support, for We Love House this Saturday will be WETDeck regular DJ Gracie.
