Manuvers hosts the last Champion Sound Takeover for the summer!

9pm Tuesday Night

Catch local DJ extraordinaire and viniyl hoarder Induce DJ on Freedom for the Funk tonight from 9-11PM

Freedom for the Funk Champion Sound takeover continues with special guest DJ Tom Laroc! Manuvers hosts and says, "last time Tom Laroc did Freedom for the Funk, it was classic."

Week 3: Lumin (Champion Sound)

with Manuvers hosting and myself (Giovanna) on the board.

Miami New Times:

"Champion Sound was formed by DJs Sire Esq., Kems, and Lumin as a collective featuring a rotating cast of topnotch talent, one that owes as much to the beat on the street as it does to the mood of a bedroom. In other words, the Champion sound is both sinuous and sexy. And it makes for one mad night out on the town.

In fact, Lumin takes his name from the Latin word for light. This light has led Lumin's way since before he got out of his teens. The place was Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Lumin, an Army brat born in Newport News, Virginia, and raised all over the country, was asked to step in on the decks while a DJ pal of his took a break. Lumin didn't have his own records on hand; still, he was equipped with enough know-how and daring to pull it off. And once he saw how innately he moved the crowd, the spin was in him for good."

As many of you know, Johnny one of our talented music directors and host of “Freedom for the Funk” has been on vacation for about a month. I Am Your Villian and Johnny collaborated to bring sweet Miami DJ’s to grace our airwaves with their own personal funk collections. Amber and DJ Manuvers have hosted the show with Manuvers and Joel Meinholz coordinating weekly DJ’s. Every week brings some new flavor to WVUM, whether it be Mr. Brown with Brazilian Funk, Tom Laroc brining in rare records, Induce doing his thaaang, or most recently, bringing in live bands. As host of Electric Kingdom, I’ve had my share of like 6 people packed into our studio before, but not including a bass guitar, drums, keyboard, sax, large monitor, a mixer, and a turntable. ANNDDDD a full drum set in our hallway. It was quite a night on August 3 during Freedom for the Funk, indeed. Ketchy Shuby graced our studios with their live nu-funk sound. It sounded so good in here, it prompted Manuvers girlfriend Sammy to text him and ask if it was a live song or a recorded one….LIVE BABY.
