Robyn ‘Body Talk’ DJ Shows
The dates have been finalized for Robyn’s “Body Talk” DJ shows with her buddy DJ/producer Rokk. The special club nights are set for London; Miami; Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
The “Robyn & Rokk Present Body Talk” shows, as well as Robyn’s trio of 2010 Body Talk albums are named after Rokk’s London club nights. Although this is the first time Robyn and Rokk are taking the concept on tour, Robyn has already proved she can work the turntables. The Swedish electro-pop star previously guest DJ-ed at Rokk’s “Body Talk” in addition to co-running the Tutti Frutti night in Stockholm.
Whether fans dance on their own or together at the club shows, Robyn and Rokk promise to create “a fun, unpretentious setting for like-minded people regardless of sexuality or race,” with a set list packed with late ‘80s and early ‘90s house/pop hits and current dance music.
