The Roots’ Questlove will join Philly DJ and Promoter Lee Jones on July 10th for Sundaes at Moshulu on the Delaware.
Long before The Roots’ drummer, Questlove, was a Golden Globes and Academy Award winning documentary director and New York Times’ Best Selling author, his sideline was DJing. And though Questlove spun parties on his own for many a dance show and celebrity gathering away from Philly in the last ten years (life post Fallon and The Tonight Show), a majority of Q’s spinning gigs was primarily for block parties and offbeat location events for fellow Philadelphia DJ and local promoter Lee Jones.
Courtesy Jones’ Sundae affairs with D2K4 – afternoon soirees the likes of which he’s been holding, recently, at North 5th Street’s Sunflower Philly green space – Questlove will join Lee and DJ Francisco Collazo at the Moshulu on the Delaware for what is surely a historic voyage, beyond its mast and stern (those are the only seafaring phrases I have at the ready).
For the sake of knowing, Jones, though pleased as punch to have Quest come down and spin, anytime, is a brand name Philly force and historical reference point all on his own when it comes to party throwing and hardcore DJ prowess, a north star as far as gently grooving soul, atmospheric aquatic house and deeply reverent and sexy beats go.
Plus, and this just goes to prove how dedicated Lee Jones is to maintaining the vibe of his Sundae, don’t even try talking on your phone, taking photos or sending out blasts to social media during July 10’s Questlove/Lee Jones soiree. They want you feel the music in a most unobstructed manner. It’s like the phone-less Dave Chappelle or Hop Sing Laundromat of dance parties. You have to be there and exist within the moment. I’ll bite.
