So chances are you'll be at The Shelter Friday night (probably late Friday night) for their Quality Control party, but this week you'll be able to enjoy a great addition to the line-up: Jungle Brothers. Although you'll get your usual fix of V-Nutz, Jay.Soul and Fortune, NYC's Jungle Brothers are going to rip things up adding their hip-hop infused beats to our scene for a night. I could go on but think the Rolling Stone's description says it all:

"A crucial group in hip-hop's evolution, New York's Jungle Brothers embodied the link between the self-respecting street knowledge of Afrika Bambaataa's Zulu Nation and the positive Native Tongues movement that De La Soul brought to prominence at the end of the 1980s. With conscious lyrics over swinging jazz and upbeat funk, Straight Out the Jungle was a debut by a group (Afrika Baby Bam, Mike Gee, and DJ Sammy D) fully formed upon arrival. Jungle Brothers were ahead of their time; the concept and Ashford & Simpson loop of "Black Woman" were copied for Method Man's hit "All I Need" five years later. While Jungle Brothers were primed for success, their record label dropped the ball; it wasn't until 1993 that the even more adventurous J. Beez Wit the Remedy appeared, and despite the boot-stomping single "40 Below Trooper," the album sold squat. As the group aged, they found success in Europe, and this apparently affected their music. Back in 1988, Straight Out the Jungle's most intriguing cut was "I'll House You," a collaboration with house producer Todd Terry. While the track was great, it spawned the lamentably cheesy subgenre of hip-house."

Unfortunately bringing in big names like Jungle Brother also means a higher cover, so break out the piggy bank, this week's party is RMB50.
