Scion Sessions and Invisible City are proud to present America's greatest fringe funk archivist: Dante Carfagna. The Numero Group curator and Personal Space compiler is invading Canada for the first time, ready to unleash a fresh batch of vintage drum-machine-laced soul.

He DJ'd alongside legendary funk curmudgeon Keb Darge and is the lead curator for Numero Group (http://numerogroup.com/), the best reissue label in the world for American Soul, Funk, and Gospel (have you seen their 6LP Syl Johnson box-set?).
