GIMME SHELTER is all about obscure and black American soul music. Featuring Major Lens (UK) and the Singapore Soul Club DJs — original Northern Soul lads from the scene’s heyday at the Wigan Casino and other legendary UK dance halls.
Get ready for a groovin’ good time as GIMME SHELTER welcomes HIPSHAKERS! Carlos Rene and Elisse Locomotion for their first ever Singapore gig.

They also host the well-established 60’s dance party HIPSHAKERS! in Mexico City. Expect an energetic set of wild 60s sounds from a variety of genres.
