This DJ MPENZI exploration of songs that sound like and/or sampled the two hits “Back To Life” & “Keep On Moving (Tracklist available here) is a gift from the MÄJOR Crew to say Thank You for all the Love, Laughter, Joy and Music you shared with us since the start of MÄJOR in 2009. We are grateful for your patronage, and we hope to see you this Sunday to jam on it until the next time.

FINAL MÄJOR SUNDAY at SOMAR

For over two years, MPENZI & JSIGHT. partnered with the Somar Bar family to develop a look, a sound, and a vibe that brought Oakland Sundays to life, and anchored MÄJOR SUNDAYS at Somar as a destination for music lovers, world-class DJs, dance floor queens (and kings) and most importantly, the people we love to connect with in our community. This Sunday, September 4, 2011, we invite you to celebrate in true MÄJOR fashion as we close a chapter in Oakland nightlife.

Both of us (MPENZI and JSIGHT.) want to extend MÄJOR LOVE to the Somar Bar team — Mike, Armando, the bar staff, the security staff, and others — who have made our experience incredible. We’re privileged and pleased to have such great friends and supportive business partners. We also gotta extend MÄJOR THANKS to the unbelievably talented roster of guests who have left their mark on the MÄJOR soundsystem. Check it! ——>

We created MÄJOR exclusively for you — our friends and family in the Oakland area and beyond whose dedication to unpretentious, quality fun has fueled MÄJOR SUNDAYS since day one. As MÄJOR leaves Sundays at Somar, we look forward to continuing to build with those of you who truly value the ooow-that’s-my-joint record, the how-did-he-shoot-that image, the dang-more-champagne glass, and the wow-this-is-a-good-look dancefloor.

Join us THIS HOLIDAY SUNDAY to finish MÄJOR SUNDAYS off somn proper. We want to see you one more time, all together, all leanin & rockin, all night, all handsintheair… we love that. We salute that. We salute YOU.
