Trevor Fung will be reviving his iconic 80s and 90s brands 'The Project' and 'Substance' on successive nights of The Boogaloo Weekender which takes place at Pontins Camber Sands Holiday Centre in East Sussex, from Friday 15th to Sunday 17th October 2021.

The Weekender bills itself as a history lesson, a weekend to relive the roots, evolution and contemporary stylings of dance music across three days and nights of music. Tracing the evolution from the early days of the jazz, funk and soul scene, right through to the electronic bleeps and squeaks of house music with DJ's like X-Press 2, Matthew B (Bushwacka!) Terry Farley, Terry Francis, and David Morales headlining the mainstage.

Breakbeat heavyweights Plump DJs, Freestylers, Krafty Kuts will be coming together and performing as 'King of The Beats', and Rusty Egan from the Blitzkidz era performing and set and speaking on panel as well as KISS FM founder and Mi Soul man Gordon Mac playing a special jazz funk set as well as speaking on a panel.

Alongside the music festival goers can enjoy exhibitions, galleries and discussion panels, a VIP hip hop party with Prime Cuts (Scratch Perverts) and Mental Genius, b-boy dance offs, fancy dress, a rave flyer gallery, DJ workshop including scratching lessons and mixing tutorials, a Graffiti School, Bingo Loco, a vintage campsite with all sorts of old school fun and games and much more.

The discussion panels will be headlined my Mike & Claire Manumission with a muse on topics such as the early explosion of UK clubbing. The wag club, the blitz kids, flicks nightclub, soul weekenders, discovering Ibiza in the 80's, warehouse parties, the second summer of love, pirate radio stations, The Hacienda, Shelley's Laserdome and a discussion about Mike & Claire's up and coming book 'Memoirs of a Lost Summer in Ibiza'.

The inside art gallery will transport you back in time with the people, art, design, technology and photography that have shaped the electronic music landscape. There will also be a screening of an Acid House documentary that dives into the second summer of love and tells its story from the inside.
