We're proud to present our homies XL Middleton & Moniquea to the Bay Area once again! The first time was at our lil' ol' Sunday weekly at The Knockout for the "heads" about a year ago. This time around we're going to throw another one of our huge dance parties at The Elbo Room to show The Bay just how XL Middleton & Moniquea's sound has gelled and gotten even funkier in the past year! Expect Extra Large basslines, extra large vocals and extra large keytar solos aimed straight at the dancefloor!

Producer/vocalist/songwriter XL Middleton has been building a steady following in both the modern funk and g-funk scenes on the west coast and internationally. He has toured Japan and has plans in the works to tour Europe in 2014. His collaboration with Eddy Funkster, “Night Time Is Coming,” was featured on the highly successful compilation Private Function from San Francisco's Voltaire Records. Moniquea is a singer whose style evokes the era of 1980′s funk and r&b, while simultaneously making it into something progressive and futuristic. There are few with her vocal ability who choose to create music in this ever-rising genre, making Moniquea’s music a truly unique gem. Both XL & Moniquea have been featured on major publications such as XLR8R, Moovmnt, Uproxx, Dubcnn & HipHopDx.

A note on Sweater Funk: San Francisco's Sweater Funk DJ crew have been the city's most dedicated purveyors of the funky subgenre known as BOOGIE since the summer of 2008. Their vision to bring boogie, modern soul & 2 step soul strictly on vinyl originals to the masses has earned them a diehard following who pack The Knockout nightclub every Sunday. They’ve won SF Weekly’s Best new club 2009, had a hand in releasing a few of their friends boogie records and have hosted artists such as Leroy Burgess (The king of boogie), Steve Arrington of Slave, Dam-Funk, Psychic Mirrors, Daz-I-Kue, DJ Spinna, Mayer Hawthorne, Peanut Butter Wolf, Kon and Amir, Onra, Benedek, Mr. Peabody Records, Cool Chris and San Francisco's own K-Maxx!
