HAPPY FEET!!!

This is a very special week for The Fix. We are blessed with the arrival of Happy Feet to Portland. Bobbito Garcia and Rich Medina return for a double pronged attack on your dancefloor.



In 1997, DJs Rich Medina and Bobbito Garcia started collaborating behind the turntables to the great pleasure of crowds in NYC and Philly. In ‘02, the two decided to start LEAVING THIS PLANET, which had a torrid run at Manhattan’s Table 50 until the club closed in ‘05. In ‘07, they renamed the party HAPPY FEET, and it became the most talked about event of that summer. The eclectic selectors have since brought HF to crowds in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Paris, and London. The pair blend genres seamlessly, so that a dancer, or listener, can experience Afro-Beat, Latin, Jazz, Dance, Breaks, progressive Hip Hop, and Soul in an unprecedented presentation. The achieved result is an entertaining night for the most die-hard rare groove fans or casual club goers. Everyone leaves with happy feet!



In 2009, HAPPY FEET comes to the Le Poisson Rouge venue in downtown Manhattan, and Rich Medina and Bobbito Garcia release their much anticipated compilation Connection: Modern Explorations In Afro-Beat & Afro-Latin (available on Double CD/Vinyl/Digital Download, www.r2records.co.uk/theconnection/). It promises to be a summer of excitement and unforgettable music & dance experiences!
And finally this party lands in Portland. Expect to experience one of the most unique and exciting dance parties to grace the Portland nightlife. Dance parties happen often, not often do they happen on this caliber. Don’t miss this unique musical event!What is "The Fix" you ask? The Fix is ultimately a labor of love that sprung from a collective of minds that felt Portland needed a night for music fans. The Fix is for all the musicians, artists, dancers, grown folks and true appreciators of dope music. Our band of misfits comes together from different walks of life but we are connected by one thing in common: the love of great records. Music binds us all and we hope you'll come share in the evening.

Music = Medicine - Come get your FIX!
