Resident DJ Dr Séculaire and guests play these and other foundational genres from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. At Right On we keep you dancing all night long, while connecting the dots between African-American, Afro-Latin, Afro-Caribbean, and African music.
Non-electronic dance music
Right On is a respectful celebration of non-electronic dance music from across the Black diaspora. There are no computerised beats added to the mix and you won’t hear genres like digital dancehall, house, techno, reggaeton, drum & bass, or jazztronica.
But this is no anachronism. With electronic music now ubiquitous in both mainstream and underground clubs, dancing to vintage Black music becomes an act of cultural preservation.
