WHAT IT IS
Since 1997, DJs Rich Medina and Bobbito Garcia have collaborated
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. They’ve since renamed the
party “Happy Feet” and moved it to the Lower East
Side’s Element, where in ‘07 it became the most talked
about event of the summer months.
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 a entertaining night for the most die-hard rare groove
fans to casual clubgoer—everyone leaves with happy feet!
BOBBITO GARCIA
AKA
KOOL BOB LOVE
(NYC)
The toughest question anyone can ask Bobbito Garcia is “What
do you do?” There might be ten answers!
He is the Editor In Chief of Bounce: From the Playground b-ball
magazine, an accomplished Vibe magazine columnist, author of
“Where’d You Get Those? NYC’s Sneaker Culture
1960-1987.” He is a world-class club DJ.
And one half of the WKCR 89.9 Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show,
voted the ‘Best Hip Hop Radio Show of All-Time’ by The
Source Magazine. He is a basketball performer at NBA halftime
shows. He is the announcer for EA Sports’ “NBA
Street” video game and for ESPN 2’s “It’s
the Shoes” series. Not done yet...
He is a feature film actor and music consultant...
A true modern day renaissance man.
RICH MEDINA
(NY,PHLLY)
DJ Rich Medina lives, breathes, and revels in sharing the type of
music that make a listener remember his soul. It is this awareness
of soul that brings listeners back time and again to hear Rich
spin: heads nod, bodies sway, emotions expand and coalesce. Rich
Medina holds DJ residencies at prominent venues throughout the
country.
Most notably he is a defining DJ at NY’s famous APT nightclub
as well as the prestigious Martinez Gallery. Rich was approached by
Jill Scott to produce a track for what would be her multi-platinum
debut release, Who Is Jill Scott? ( Sony/Hidden Beach). DJ Rich
Medina, renaissance man, articulate performer and a down and dirty
DJ who can go head to head with the best, is an artist who will
transform the average experience of any club or venue and give his
audience a night of music and words to remember.
DJ RASHIDA
(LA)
As official DJ for His Purple Majesty, Prince, Rashida has been
warming up crowds at his much-hyped performances over the last four
years. When not giging around the world, Rashida can be heard
spinning at any one of her many residences. Most notably Honey and
KissNGrind with Garth Trinidad & Viktor Dupleix.
The Connection: Modern Explorations In Afro and Latin Music
In the last decade, Rich Medina and Bobbito Garcia have each
fostered intense followings for specific genres and sound
an
d have branded their musical journeys at their
HAPPY FEET
party to the great pleasure of crowds worldwide. An inspired
competition exists between them to outdo the other by introducing
underexposed tunes.
The Connection
allows for others to share that joy that goes on in their DJ booth.
This compilation, released on R2 Records, represents their passion
for the rhythm that runs through us all, as well as the respect and
love they have for each other. We hope that it connects you to your
ancestors, or maybe just neighbors across the street, and way
beyond.
