Here’s What We’re About…
Paradise Trax is a house, funk, disco and soul music blog created by two Birmingham DJs called the Paradise Brothers – Freddie and Aaron … Technical assistance ‘Oily Fur’ … Musical consultant ‘That Boy Jones’.
They both have extensive knowledge of SOUL, FUNK, DISCO and GARAGE (plus rap, reggae and numerous other genres).
The original site of Paradise Garage, 84 King Street, New York.
They have over 40 years’ experience in listening, playing, researching and consulting. They have created this website to share their knowledge of this fantastic music.
This blog consists of soul, disco, funk, garage (mainly U.S.) & other genres that fits loosely in such fields including BOOGIE (sometimes known as ELECTRO – FUNK due to the change in musical technology)
We are still regular DJs, playing every week in Birmingham, UK. If you’re looking for something to do on a Sunday night in Birmingham, check us out at The Island Bar, Suffolk Street Queensway. We play from 9 pm – late (FREE ADMISSION).
The names ‘Paradise Brothers’ and ‘Paradise Trax’ are inspired by Paradise Garage, the original home of disco music in New York. This iconic feature of New York nightlife was the inspiration for the music genre ‘Garage’.
Great blog guys. Keep ’em rolling.
Met one of you guys on way to Birmingham, awesome knowledge, awesome music, great meeting you
