🎵 BOOM SHAKALAKALAKA BOOM BOOM… it's the FUNKY KINGSTON end-of-year bash! 🎵
🇯🇲 Saturday 19 December @ The Lulie Tavern 🇯🇲
7PM – 1AM | FREE ENTRY
We're sending 2026 off in style with a full-tilt Jamaican dance party: LIVE Ska and a heavyweight crew of selectors spinning nothing but vintage vinyl.
Kicking things off at 7 PM, Melbourne's own ska royalty *THE SKA VENDORS AND FRIENDS*… serving up real-feel foundation ska, rocksteady and early reggae.
Then the DJ take over, with PROPER choons coming in 🔥HOT🔥 from:
*MARV MACK (USA)*: all the way from Southern California, the Soulside Productions boss and Trojan Lounge host has spent more than 20 years digging out rare ska, skinhead reggae and Jamaican soul. Flying the flag for the LA scene, Marv Mack is a very special guest.
*STRYKA D*: the man behind Heartical Hi-Powa, one of Melbourne's earliest reggae sound systems
*MOHAIR SLIM*: Blue Juice on PBS 106.7FM
*DAVE SLATER*
*SIMON LAXTON*
Five selectors, a mountain of crates, one almighty dance to see out the year.
Strictly original Jamaican 45s, straight from the vaults and onto your dancing feet. Expect Treasure Isle, Studio One, Prince Buster, Duke Reid and a stack of rare boss off-beat sounds you won't hear anywhere else.
So dust off your dancing shoes, round up your crew and let the Lulie Tavern shake to the pounding beat of Kingston town. It's the last Funky Kingston of the year, so don't miss it!
