Urban Funk Festival
launch party kicks off a summer series
of serious fun and funk at some of the best urban venues in Tai Chung–many
of them new outdoor venues. The first is at The Tai Chung Contemporary Culture
Center’s Alu Cafe Outdoor Theater. It is a gorgeous, all wood, outdoor amphi-
theater with a massive stage and incredible sound…
On 6.23, summer solstice weekend, we fill it with some of Taiwan’s top funkstars
spinning underground hip hop, old skool funk, breaks, D n B, dub/ragga, scratch
DJs, live performance, urban art and a whole lot more. In July, we welcome DJ Drez
back from the states for his Asian Tour. And in August, Shambhala is scheduled to
play the Urban Funk Festival Finale at one of your new outdoor urban venues in Tai Chung…
In addition to top international DJs, we add some local flavor. DJs 2 Hands &
Subtle, 2 of the top old skool scratch DJs around will add a bit of turntablism to
the mix. Chi Funk will do a special live segment with Russel Rodgers of Les Chats
Noirs on Funk Guitar and Phil Patry of Faye & The Slacks on percussions. He’ll
also be debuting some extrememly hot new Ragga Breaks. Lazy Daze will make a
rare appearance to play some of his vintage dub and reggae sounds at Sunset–
which will be long and late on the longest day of the year. 4in Funk Affair will add
a tag team set of old skool funk classics to round out the evening…
In addition, Scall Art is preparing an Urban Art display as part of the Decorations,
which RainbowFx and GiGi will also add some unique touches to. There will be food
stands, local independent artists and possibly even a group of Tibetan Monks who are
interested in spreading their word of peace to a more diverse crowd…
There will be tons going on all over the venue–much more a festival than a party.
But it starts at 6pm and ends at midnight. There will be plenty of sunshine on
summer solstice weekend, but top DJs and live performances start around 7:30–so
dont be late…

Tai Ping Rd & Shuang Shi Rd Sec.1 10-5
One of our best new outdoor urban venues in years. The all wood outdoor theater
has a massive stage, incredible sound and its surrouned by trees, which adds a nice
touch to an urban venue. Its located near Chong I Jie and Chong Yo Dept. Store, at
the intersection of Tai Ping & Shuang Shi Rd. Sec. 1 (the big road on the west side of
town that runs past the massive downtown Chong Shan Park, then all the bus stations
and finally ends up at the train sta.). Its next to the big baseball stadium. Tai Ping
road is the market street where all the students hang out near Chong Yo Dept. Store.
It crosses San Min at the corner where California Fitness Centere is located. Follow it
to the end and you run right into the Culture Center. Its a large complex just down
from Tai Chung’s main baseball stadium. Just go in through the main entrance. The
outdoor theater is just through the main door and to the right…
