The Sound From Germantown

The Catacombs

This show will focus on fast house, dance, tribal, jungle, club and crazy beats from back in the day. I'm talking about Chicago and NYC style house that was produced on 12" vinyl back in the late 70's and early 80's. Music that was played exclusively in after-hours clubs like the Garage in NYC, the Warehouse in San Francisco and Tracks in DC. Then there was the Catacombs in Philly.

Catacombs update: Catacombs is shifting to a twice monthly show on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays. Look for updates below on upcoming shows.
