Questlove

+ DJ Astroboy
Questlove is the unmistakable heartbeat of The Roots, Philadelphia’s most influential hip-hop band.
His undisputable reputation has landed him musical directing positions with everyone from D’Angelo to Jay-Z & he boasts production credits for Erykah Badu, Joss Stone & Justin Timberlake, to mention but a few.
Questlove’s insatiable love of music has led him on a worldwide crate-digging journey, amassing a varied vinyl collection of more than 50,000 records that he has used to rock sold out parties worldwide. Whether it’s hip-hop, house, ’80s, rare grooves or a mix of everything in between, he commands the dance floor to get loose and get down.
This is an unmissable opportunity to see a superstar in a truly intimate venue playing music on a great sound system.
“No matter what the style, when Questlove gets behind the decks, people dance until the lights come on. And even then, they don’t want to go home.”
