Hot Buttered Soul Presents Alena Arpels And Mike Shawe - Bristol

Proudly presenting our next party!! 

HOT BUTTERED SOUL returns to the Crofters Rights on Saturday 19th February with a very Special guest. 

I have great pleasure in welcoming London’s amazing ALENA ARPELS to the HBS turntables bringing her deep collection of Boogie, Funk, Deep Disco and Jazz-Funk vinyl rarities to the Crofters dance floor.

Collecting rare records and DJing for over 15 years, Alena enjoys regular sets at Spiritland, Brilliant Corners, Supermax, Brixton's famous Prince of Wales and many more. Alena is also a frequent guest at many of the European soul weekenders.

Many of you are probably already aware that Alena recently put together a compilation for Dave Lee’s Z Records called ‘Under The Influence’, the excellent series gives a platform to dusty-fingered collectors favourite tunes and here her deep knowledge and love for the music shines through showcasing some incredible music. Alena is indeed in esteemed company; for previous releases in the popular series featured diggers such as Red Greg, Paul Phillips, James Glass, Nick The Record, Sean P, Faze Action and Winston and Bianchi. 

This is not the first time she has DJ’d here in Bristol; as back in 2011 I booked Alena (and Jamie C) to play at Hot Buttered Soul alongside myself and Alex Seal (my defunct record collecting buddy) at The Bank (pre-Love Inn) and to memory it was a pretty amazing night. But that was 11 years ago, so it’s high time we had a proper reunion and what better place than the Crofters Rights backroom!
