Original Dance Music is a 50s/60s all vinyl dj collective. Together they are greater than the sum of their vintage vinyl! They are all gold diggers in the same treasure chest of killer tunes from the greatest eras for music. This is not about nostalgia. Tunes are selected not because they came from the past, but because they kick ass!
Each dj brings their own unique flavour to the party showcasing the best foot stompin', hip shakin' beats of an era when music was built for dancin' and nothing else. Raucous rhythm and blues, deadly doo wop, shimmy shakin soul, relentless rockabilly and tantilising tittyshakers...ODM have got the lot and all exclusively on vinyl. No cds, no mp3s, just pure analogue action with cratefuls of rockin records.
They are currently in residence at Joes in Camden at their weekly friday night event Get Rhythm. Their Get Hot (or go home) extravaganzas has been at residence at The Tiki Club at The Archway Tavern and is now currently looking for a new home.
And here is the line-up:
Anne Frankenstein, Dapper D, Jaybyrd Slim, Diddy Wah, Double Agent 7, Fritz Buzzsaw, Scott Charles, Andy Smith.
