If you are hungry for something fresh, then look no further. Soul Kitchen launches tonight with a generous portion of soul food. DJ duo Dale Lush and Isla Blige have promised to serve up a Michelin star disco platter of old, new and future classics.
Soul kitchen will be a reunion of sorts as the DJs return to one of their favourite venues, Medina. If you haven't been before Medina is a cosy basement club, catering for those who prefer the warmly-lit ambience of lounge clubbing with a great atmosphere.
Dale tells us it's that "social element" that will be a prime ingredient in the Soul Kitchen recipe. Dale. resident at Le Monde and GHQ, ran a Sunday night there aptly called Booty. Running for six years, it became a bit of a clubbing institution around town. It was the DJs blend of club classics that set the night apart. Dale had regulars reminiscing the halcyon days of clubbing and the night quickly became more of a social gathering rather than a glam night out.
Now he wants to create that same vibe while introducing Isla's soulful selection to the mix, she toyed "this is one trip to the kitchen that your hips will thank you for..."
Blige, also a Medina DJ, played soul-drenched soundtrack at Get Funk'd on Friday nights. Her style is just like her - fun and funky. Other residents include Lulu, Newsrooms and The Voodoo Rooms.
Expect the kitchen to get very hot with a main course of slow roasting soul, freshly picked funk, a healthy helping oh hip-hop and some devilish disco cuts. Unlike Ramsay's Hell Kitchen, Soul Kitchen looks a much more heavenly prospect, enjoy.
Soul Kitchen, tonight, Medina,Lothian Street, 10pm - 3am, £5/£4
