Prolific drummer, DJ, director, producer & walking music encyclopaedia, Questlove steps off the tour bus between nation-wide shows with The Roots to deliver a NYE party Fitzroy will never forget.Questlove’s career has taken him across the world’s stages with artists like D’Angelo, Common, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Jay-Z, Amy Winehouse as well as being a founding member of Hip-hop royalty, The Roots. But when he points to his most beloved musical contribution, “it’s not drumming in the world’s funkiest group, not being on late night TV, my first love is records”.
For Questlove, DJing isn’t just a side gig, it’s like a lifeline. An avid record collector and crate digger, his encyclopaedic knowledge that spans genres and pop-culture references allows him to craft sets tailored uniquely to each room, “manipulating you emotionally through your memories.
”He’s been sought after as a surefire 'dance-floor-filla' for events like Jay-Z's Oscar Gold Party and Heidi Klum’s iconic Halloween Party.
While playing Obama’s 2016 White House farewell party, he was reminded music should always “serve the people” leading him to reexamine his role as a tastemaker and curator stating “now I serve the kids”.
Don’t miss your chance to experience DJ royalty Questlove as he plays us through the New Year at The Night Cat!
