About Afrolicious
For the last three years the Afrolicious party has established itself as a worldwide destination for dancers, djs, bands and music lovers. Afrolicious is a weekly party, a series of mixtapes, and a remix team made up of brothers Pleasuremaker and Señor Oz (who are founders and hosts of the weekly party), Afrolicious offers a broad appreciation of groove oriented music from around the globe, and the people and cultures this music is derived from. Afrolicious began as a weekly party every Thursday night 3 years ago at the Elbo Room in the heart of the Mission district of San Francisco. The infectious mix of tropical and electronic beats, live drummers, live musicians, live remixes and seductive dance floor along with the brothers party rocking dj skills and crowd pleasing antics brings out hundreds of the most diverse party seekers every week.
Afrolicious stands out by including original Pleasuremaker material, live percussionists, dubbed out effects, live remixing of classic funk, disco, Afrobeat, Latin, electronic and polyrhythmic grooves that derive from the funky Afro-diaspora. The relaxed and playful vibe between dj’s, musicians, and the crowd at Afrolicious keeps loyal music lovers coming back week after week. There is a sweet and down to earth joy created at an Afrolicious event born out of the love of quality music, good people and good times; more a legacy than a fad. It is through deep love of the music and bringing folks together that Afrolicious carries on the live/dj/organic/electronic tradition and pushes it forward.
Afrolicious productions have been released on Six Degrees Records (Issa Bagayogo, Brownout), Bagpak Records (Nappy G) and through their own Afrolicious label. Pleasuremaker has put out an EP featuring his own band and has performed on recordings for distinguished producers J-Boogie, Beatfanatic, Janaka Selectah, DJ Smash. Afrolicious has been invited to perform at the Harmony Festival, Lighning in a Bottle, Sea of Dreams, Turntables on the Hudson (NYC), and the Waxpoetics showcase at SXSX in Austin TX. Previous guest artists have included Nickodemus, DJ Smash, Spam All-Stars, Chico Mann, Groupo Fantasma, Orgone, Delhi 2 Dublin, Dunklebunt, J.Boogie, DJ Sabo, Jeremy Sole and many more.
