DEVIL’S PIE IS COMING TO THE CITY OF ANGELS!

DEVIL’S PIE is the soul party I started at NAMU BAR in San Francisco a lil over a year ago. I actually had the idea way back in 2004 when we were brainstorming a name for what eventually became HELLA, the Oaklandish (R.I.P.) party TREAT U NICE, DO D.A.T., and I threw. I really just wanted a space to play what I really wanted to play without the pressure of maintaining a dance vibe or fielding obnoxious requests; a night of feel-good soul music: anything from Aretha to Amel, Bilal to Bobby (Womack AND Brown!), Cee-Lo to Chaka (Khan AND Zulu!). Basically, I wanted to be able to play a whole night of FUCK SONGS and have folks there enjoy it.

In 2007, I quit my full-time job, toured Southeast Asia, came back, and started Devil’s Pie. What started as a intimate joint for the homies to kick it, became a pretty unique scene in Bay Area nightlife. We started having monthly themed tribute nights where guest DJs spun sets paying homage to soul legends or sub-genres. Past tributes include Sade, James Brown, UK Soul, and Erykah vs. Jill. You can download DJ sets from these tribute nights below.

While DEVIL’S PIE is being held strong by DJ WONWAY, PAPA LO, and DO D.A.T. in Frisco, I’m bringing the love to LA!

DEVIL’S PIE LA will be located at the swanky VERDUGO BAR in Glassell Park. This time, I’m sharing DJ duties with DJ ROZA, my DJ soul sister who has an almost identical taste in music but much deeper crates (or hard drive!). We are also partnering with local cafe/bakery BUTTER TART CAFE to bring you FREE baked goodies.

See you there!
