Soulaverse has already made its mark with a strong debut, satisfying the masses with a night full of circus, bubbles, face painting and hula-hooping with a great turnout getting down on the burning dancefloor. If you missed out on the best party in town Friday 5th March, then there are no excuses when things heat up again with SOULAVERSE II

Starring one of Perth’s hottest Soul Hip Hop outfits, Stoop Fresh will be launching a new release on the night. Inspired by awesome reactions to an MPC loaded with Mario Bros samples. All beats in StoopNES have been sampled from original and Super Nintendo games, a collaborative effort by everyone from Stoop Fresh. The tracks are seriously bangin’ and this is going to be one hell of a show!

Supporting the launch will be Paper Chain’s very own Ta-Ku spinning tunes all night.

Also making waves will be RAE, an amazing wordsmith, soul singer, guitarist and poet creating a new spin on hip hop with acoustic guitars meshed with DJ production.

There will be a Mario Kart competition and prizes for the best dressed on the night so get your best Nintendo outfit together – April 9 is where the party’s at!
