THUMP & SOUL SESSION: Underground Dance Culture Thrives in New Bedford

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. - Oct. 23, 2024 - PRLog -- In a nightlife scene dominated by bars and clubs, the THUMP & SOUL SESSION offers something different in New Bedford. This monthly underground dance music gathering at the Underground Railroad Café & Gallery (213 Acushnet Ave) brings lovers of House Music, Afrobeats, and Rare Groove together for an immersive, soulful experience. Kicking off at 9 PM, the event, hosted by resident sound system WAMPTRONICA, centers the music as the main focus, creating an authentic dance experience.

Unlike typical nightlife spots, where music fades into the background, THUMP & SOUL makes it the star. The eclectic mix of Afro, Soulful, Jazzy, and Deep House alongside Rare Groove and Afrobeats invites dancers to fully connect with the beats. Mwalim of WAMPTRONICA explains, "House Music is the substance that alters your experience." The café's non-bar atmosphere allows the music to shine without distraction.

Since its beginnings in 2021 at the Native Arts Gallery in Mashpee, and later at Gallery X, THUMP & SOUL SESSION has become a staple of New Bedford's underground music culture. Drawing from the rich history of 1970s New York underground dance culture, the event echoes legendary gatherings like The Loft, Libations, and B.A.A.D., and brings that spirit to the Southcoast.

WAMPTRONICA co-founder, The ZYG 808, notes that House Music thrives on tradition, not trends. The event's multi-generational crowd keeps the underground dance scene alive, offering a space for true revival of body and spirit. For more info, visit: http://linktr.ee/oversoultheatrecollective
