We’re back

TITLE TOWN is back on Saturday, November 2nd with another round of heavy sounds. Join us at Spirit for Pittsburgh’s longest running dance party featuring DJs spinning five hours of grooves from the deep – ‘60s and Northern Soul, deep funk, classic Motown, feel-good disco, vintage R&B, Latin soul and more. All vinyl, all original 45s.

Founded and curated by DJ’s J.Malls and Gordy G, TITLE TOWN is known for its consistent, electrifying and feel-good atmosphere and iconic sounds from influential record labels such as Stax and Chess mixed with hand-selected 45 RPM rarities from regional soul scenes around the U.S. – including a healthy share of songs from the Pittsburgh area that disappeared without a trace, but are well worth another shot at dance floor fame.

“We started TITLE TOWN 15 years ago with a simple mission: to share our passion for this music with others who feel the same,” said co-founder DJ Gordy Greenawalt. “What began as a small party in East Liberty has grown into something truly special—a community of music lovers, dancers, vinyl heads, who come together to dance, sweat, and celebrate the music that moves us.”

The master of the multi-genre mix, Andy Smith became Portishead’s tour DJ where his eclectic style was perfectly showcased on the band’s 1995 and 1998 world tours, and he’s been in constant demand in clubs across the globe ever since.

The first ever DJ to release a multi-genre mixed compilation on a major label, Andy Smith paved the way for the masses that have come along since. “The Document” album series became the framework which others followed.

Having released many DJ mixes since the Document including parts 2 & 3 of that series, ‘The Trojan Document’, ‘The Greensleeves Document’, Andy Smith’s Northern Soul, Andy Smith’s Jam Up Twist, Andy Smith’s Freestyle Mix’ & Andy Smith Diggin’ In The BGP Vaults’ amongst others. His latest release is the ‘Reach UP – Disco Wonderland’ album on BBE records. Andy Smith was included in the Top 20 Greatest DJs of all time by MusicRadar.

15 years, 4 venues, 180+ events, 3 U.S. presidents, a pandemic…what can we say? We started this thing to share our passion for this music. We stuck to the script, never compromised and watched this community of music lovers, dancers, vinyl heads come together every month to get down, sweat, and celebrate the music that moves us and you. THANK YOU.

$15 ADVANCE TICKETS ON SALE NOW. Grab one now because they will go quickly.

Founded and curated by DJ’s J.Malls and Greenawalt, TITLE TOWN launched from the ashes of two successful DJ events: The Big Throwback and Vipers Soul Club. The former was focused on deep funk and break beats; the latter being a throwback to ‘60s soul and wild rhythm and blues. Today, a staple in Pittsburgh’s nightlife scene, the vinyl-only TITLE TOWN is known for its consistent, electrifying and feel-good atmosphere and iconic sounds from influential record labels such as Stax and Chess mixed with hand-selected 45 RPM rarities from regional soul scenes around the U.S. – including a healthy share of songs from the Pittsburgh area that disappeared without a trace, but are well worth another shot at dancefloor fame.
