Retro fetishism makes for some great, strange stuff. Case in point: Hot Peas & Butta's Tokyo Soul, a free dance party where the DJs spin only 45s of soul, funk, and reggae and the projectors screen rare commercials, tv shows, movie trailers, 70's cartoons, and concert footage assembled specifically for the evening's party.

Tokyo Soul is fixed around classic Japanese cinema, anime and kaiju. Godzilla meets Curtis Mayfield. Samurais and Sam Cooke. Anything is possible.
