Not many parties last one full year, so it’s with a less-than-humble nod that Founders/DJs/Curators Gordy G and J. Malls announce the 15-year anniversary of TITLE TOWN, Pittsburgh’s beloved monthly soul and funk dance party. It’s hard to imagine the Pittsburgh nightlife landscape without TITLE TOWN’s cocktail of rare soul and deep funk; hedonism and perfectionism; Motown, disco and flagrant disregard for social norms. Fifteen years - a crystal anniversary of placing diamond needles onto vinyl (no digital allowed) and dancing like nobody’s watching alongside hundreds of your instant-closest-friends.
Founded and curated by DJ’s J.Malls and Gordy Greenawalt, TITLE TOWN launched from the ashes of two successful DJ events: The Big Throwback and Vipers Soul Club. The former was focused on deep funk and break beats; the latter being a throwback of ‘60s soul and wild rhythm and blues. Today, a staple in Pittsburgh’s nightlife scene, the vinyl-only event is known for its consistent, electrifying and feel-good atmosphere and its cocktail of iconic sounds from influential record labels such as Stax and Chess mixed with hand-selected 45 RPM rarities from regional soul scenes around the U.S.
About DJ Andy Smith
TITLE TOWN will be joined by London’s DJ Andy Smith for our 15 Year Anniversary.
The master of the multi-genre mix, Andy Smith became Portishead's tour DJ where his eclectic style was perfectly showcased on the band’s 1995 and 1998 world tours, and he’s been in constant demand in clubs across the globe ever since.
The first ever DJ to release a multi-genre mixed compilation on a major label, Andy Smith paved the way for the masses that have come along since. “The Document” album series became the framework which others followed.
Having released many DJ mixes since the Document including parts 2 & 3 of that series, ‘The Trojan Document’, ‘The Greensleeves Document’, Andy Smith's Northern Soul, Andy Smith's Jam Up Twist, Andy Smith's Freestyle Mix’ & Andy Smith Diggin’ In The BGP Vaults’ amongst others. His latest release is the ‘Reach UP – Disco Wonderland’ album on BBE records. Andy Smith was included in the Top 20 Greatest DJs of all time by MusicRadar.
