Bridging the Gap~August 7th, 2019~ Souljazz Cooldown

Babak Tafreshi

We've got a week of hot, muggy, generally awful weather ahead of us here in Hawaii, so in an effort to cool down (at least musically speaking) we'll be playing some really interesting indie soul/jazz tonight.

Nick Yee’s passion for music developed at an early age, as he collected jazz and rock records pulled from dusty locations while growing up in both Southern California and Honolulu. In college he started DJing around Honolulu, playing Jazz and Bossa Nova sets at various lounges and clubs under the name dj mr.nick. He started to incorporate Downtempo, House and Breaks into his sets as his popularity grew, eventually getting DJ residences at different Chinatown locations. To this day, he is a fixture in the Honolulu underground club scene, where his live sets are famous for being able to link musical and cultural boundaries, starting mellow and building the audience into a frenzy while steering free of mainstream clichés.
