Free DJ night with DJ Boomer playing soul, funk, world, hip-hop and R&B in the Rose Room of Valley Bar.
DJ Boomer takes over the Rose Room at Valley Bar on Friday, October 23, for a night that pulls from a few different worlds at once. It's not a band on a stage, but a DJ set, so the whole evening is built around the records he spins rather than a setlist of songs. The Rose Room is the smaller, more intimate space inside Valley Bar, and that's where this one lands.
What he's playing covers a lot of ground. The set is billed as soul, funk, world, hip-hop, and R&B, and those aren't just categories—they're the actual threads he's weaving together. You'll hear the deep groove of funk and the melodic pull of soul, the rhythmic shifts of world music, and the beat-driven side of hip-hop and R&B. It's a broad spread, so the night can lean one way or another, or jump between them as it goes.
If you're not sure where that puts the sound, think of it as a mix that doesn't stay in one lane. The soul and R&B bring the melody, the funk and hip-hop bring the rhythm, and the world music adds a different kind of texture to the mix. It's the kind of set that works whether you're there to dance or just to hang out and listen.
