Calamity Jade

Avid collector of vinyl records since 1999, DJ, radio show host and manager of Willwork4funk promo agency Calamity Jade has slowly but steadily been carving herself a prominent space in the emerging Italian funk scene. From spinning in staple clubs of Milan's underground circuit (Biko, Magnolia, Cox 18, Bitte, Zoom, Fabbrica del Vapore) to guesting in clubnights abroad (Frankfurt, Bonn, Cologne and Hamburg in Germany, Geneva and Lausanne in Switzerland, Eygalieres and Chambéry in France and NYC) or opening/closing for International acts such as The New Mastwersounds (UK), The Might Mocambos (DE) Myles Sanko (UK), Konkoma (Ghana/UK), Lefties Soul Connection (NL), Parish Smith (EMPD – NYC) or Yarah Bravo (UK), Calamity Jade has been incessantly bringing her bags of vinyl goodness to the most discerning ears and funky dancefloors. With important events under her belt for brands like MTV, Tommy Hilfiger, Nespresso, Aperol, Seletti, G-Star Raw, DiSaronno, Fiesta Ferrero, Amica Chips, Teatro Nuovo, Pitti Uomo and 5 star hotel Principe di Savoia, Calamity Jade can be considered a guarantee both when it comes to providing a classy background for a cocktail hour to rocking a crowd in a packed club. In 2012 Jade founded music promotion agency Willwork4funk, specialized in funk, soul, jazz, afro & breaks, through which she has collaborated with a variety of labels such as Légère, Mocambo, Wah Wah 45s, Breakin Bread or Jalapeno and worked with artists like The New Mastersounds, The Mighty Mocambos, Smoove, The Haggis Horns, Myles Sanko, The Impellers and Bahama Soul Club, just to name a few. Since 2013 Jade hosts radio show "Funk Shui" on Radio Popolare and Controradio, which focuses on contemporary funk & soul and regularly features unreleased sneak peaks and world exclusives. Calamity Jade's selections are an eclectic mix of old and new funk, soul, breaks, afro, jazz, disco as well as occasionally including hiphop, electro, mashups and soulful house. From the 60s up to the most futuristic productions, Jade‘s taste will guide you on a trip from the early roots of groove up to its hybrid offspring, so that no dancefloor can be considered safe!
