Come out to hear what he selects from his box of musical gems!

April 12 – 3 Year Anniversary Dance Party

The Rocksteady Lounge, started by TerryLee and Rocksteady Chris, has been going strong for three years! Viktor and I are honored to bring vintage Jamaican music to the people of Los Angeles (and beyond!) every Monday night at Akbar. Let’s celebrate three years of great music and fantastic guests right! Guest DJs include Rocksteady Chris, Boss Harmony, Two Tone Ted, and Bigger Boss! We’ll have the dance floor area set-up in the back, along with additional speakers. Let’s hope for more years to come.
