Late-night lounge night with DJ SHU spinning jazz fusion, soul, R&B and funk at Berlin on North Loop.
SHU takes over Berlin in the North Loop on Friday, October 30, for a late-night set that runs well past midnight. It's part of the Late Night Lounge series, and the music is exactly what the name suggests: lounge-leaning, laid-back, and meant for the later hours.
SHU's set pulls from a few different corners of the record collection. You'll hear jazz fusion, soul, R&B, and funk—genres that all share a certain groove and a certain warmth. When you put them together, they lean toward the lounge side of things, so it's more about the mood and the flow than about one specific sound. It's the kind of music that works whether you're settling in for the night or just getting started.
Because it's a DJ set, the focus is on the selection and the way the tracks transition into one another. The jazz fusion brings the instrumental side, the soul and R&B provide the vocals and the melody, and the funk keeps it moving. It's a mix that doesn't demand your full attention every second, which is what makes it a good fit for a lounge night.

The set starts at 10:30 PM on Friday and carries over into Saturday morning, wrapping up around 12:30 AM. That puts the bulk of the music right around midnight, so it's a late one. If you're looking for something to do on a Friday night in the North Loop, this is a solid way to spend a few hours.
