Next Saturday, people. Please join us as we welcome DJ Soulpusher (a/k/a DJ Franc. O of "Vampyros Lesbos" fame) back to NYC from the Motherland. 
DJ Soulpusher first came to NY during the summer of 1996 when under the name Franc O. he managed to establish his legendary and decadent night "Vampyros Lesbos" featuring exotic dancers, French ???60s pop and obscure Euopean soft porn soundtracks. He found a home first at the now long defunct Suzie Wong and later for a couple of years at the also no longer existing Bar XVI in the East Village. But under the Guiliani crackdown on nightlife it became more and more difficult to continue a night that included scantily clad go-go girls, ???70's soft porn projections, and a notoriously misbehaving clientele. So in August 2000, Franc O., along with Go Go Girl Manuela, packed their bags and moved back to old Berlin where, now as DJ Soulpusher and Boogaloo Pussycat, they together started a party called "Soul Explosion" which soon became Europe's biggest night for rare and hard-hitting funk 45s. This continued until 2005 when again the two felt an urge to change the scenery; they got married and moved to Conakry, the Capital of Guinea on the coast of West Africa. Here DJ Soulpusher started building up a collection of rare Afrobeat and African funk records. He also hosts a radio show on SLBS in Freetown, the capital of neighbouring Sierra Leone. At APT you can expect a mix of Superheavy Funky Soul and Afrobeat as well as the occasional "Vampyros Lesbos" classic.Friends, colleagues & cheapskates PM me to be listed. Hope to see some of youse there.Peas,Mao
