STOP THE WORLD with DJ AKALEPSE (TRUTH&SOUL/NYC)

Akalepse has been steady at work with the records since 1993 when he first put the needle on one. His humility and endless respect for music has garnered him accolades in soul, funk and hip hop circles the world over. With a heavyweight stash of 20,000+ records, you’re going to hear things you don’t know.... That is the point. But not the whole point, he plays classic tunes right next to obscurities, always pushing the listening audience a little in a sincere effort to break new records and reintroduce slept on tunes simultaneously. Everytime he plays he brings that raw, outside the Top 40, heavy, fun, sexy, soulful and honest music.

You can catch him DJing along side Rich Medina every Wednesday at their party PROPS (10 years and running...) as well as across the US and abroad. Lepse is one third of the critically acclaimed record label Truth & Soul, most well known for Lee Fields & The Expressions. His party STOP THE WORLD is a nod to the place music takes us, and a celebration of how much it means to us.
