808 is the name of a drum machine created by Roland in 1981. Its a machine that dwells in the contemporary musical world, heard in the music of Aphex Twin to Marvin Gaye, from Mr. Fingers to Afrika Bambaataa.
In 2010, 808 is the name of the Clubnight by Francisco Coelho and Gonçalo Costa. If the motto is 'Can you feel it?', from Mr. Fingers, the common thread is the discovery of dance music while musical journey. Without wanting to hold on to the past, 808 celebrates and embraces the timeless unknown.
808 does not appear as counterflow even as a reaction any musical context, but as a passion for dance music of yesterday, today and tomorrow, the joy of playing vinyl records and sharing the spirit of party and dance.
