Groove Terminator, the DJ who brought us the theme song to The Block, a reality show about renovating houses, is back to put his own spin on a different kind of house: dance music. Joined by three-time Grammy winners Soweto Gospel Choir, boasting gigs with stars like Aretha Franklin, U2's Bono and Queen, the two acts seamlessly blend their talents to transport us through the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Engaging all of the senses, this live music event celebrates "everything that is good in the world", inviting music lovers to clap, sing and jump along regardless of their race, sexuality or familiarity with the genre. The energy that Terminator and Soweto emanate is so infectious that if you're seated in the beginning, you won't be by the end. Each member of the Choir injects their unique personalities into their vocals, as they reanimate old school hits like Chic's 'Le Freak', Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love' and Prince's '1999'.
The psychedelic graphics displaying lyrics, effectively marks the passage of time and provides a sense of movement as we travel through the decades, without distracting from the performers too much.
The artists also pay a respectful tribute to the traditional custodians of the land with a rendition of Yothu Yindi's 'Treaty', insisting that "things are going to get better" in their cover of Boris Dlugosch's 'Keep Pushin'.'
This 90-minute show will have you praising the camaraderie of house and begging for more when we must inevitably return to our millennium.
History of House, Gluttony, until 17 March
