The Soul Of New York With Soul Summit

For episode 88 of Club Management, we dive into the legacy of
Soul Summit. 

For over a decade, Soul Summit, the brainchild of Sadiq Bellamy,
Tabu, and Jeff Mendoza, has been a beacon of community spirit,
drawing forth a devoted following that transforms Fort Greene
Park into a lively tableau of familial bonds, culinary delights,
and exuberant dance. The trio also has a monthly residency at
Nowadays.

Encompassing a spectrum of house music genres—from the rhythmic
vibrations of afro house to the impassioned refrains of vocal
house—the festival offers more than just auditory pleasure. It
serves as a nexus for forging connections, partaking in diverse
activities, and basking in the collective joy of shared
experiences.

Soul Summit has transcended mere event status, ascending to the
ranks of New York City's most anticipated outdoor and indoor
event. Its magnetic pull extends far beyond Brooklyn, drawing
attendees from across the tri-state area and overseas, who
converge to immerse themselves in its infectious energy.

During their chat with DJ Shannon, Sadiq, Tabu, and Jeff delved
into the genesis of Soul Summit, evoking nostalgic reveries of
bygone eras in NYC nightlife. They reflected on the event's
evolution into a cherished cultural oasis, a sanctuary where the
diverse tapestry of New York finds unity in rhythm and harmony.
