Description

Sneakers 54 was established in 1976 when a group of friends got together after deciding they had to do something about the lack of good West end clubs that played Jazz,Funk & Soul music. They found that in order to gain entry into clubs they would need to dress in suits, pay extortionate entrance fees, and then have to listen to pop music for hours until the DJ decided to play the odd Soul or Jazz tune at the end of the night. Their  next move was to hire venues in the West End and hold their own club nights playing the music we loved. The nights became more regular and soon built up a following that had been looking for the same things; they wanted to listen and dance to the best in Jazz, Funk & Soul in a friendly and safe environment. They decided to  name themselves "Sneakers 54" after the classic Jazz-Funk track by Sea Level , the one track which closely resembled the spectrum of music they most enjoy and play at their club nights.... And they still believe ........it's all about the vinyl ! This is a sample of the music they played; If you enjoy any of the music played here, please support the artists and buy their music ...As without them we have no music !......Thanks for listening !

2026/06/24
Koal Bee 511 -Sneakers54 Collection (23-06-26) S54 Tribute to MJ.Now us DJ's like to be cool (myself included) and it supposedly aint cool to play MJ, but at the risk of facing the wrath of some listeners, I just felt I had to pay tribute to the man, the legend, the ultimate songwriter, Michael Jackson. After watching the movie "Michael" I realised he was such a big part of the soundtrack of my life. The movie really confirmed that for me and inspired me to do this show; So, please have a listen and let me have your feedback...Enjoy the show .Checkout our youtube channel too ... https://www.youtube.com/@Sneakers_54Sneakers tee shirts available from the following site : https://shop.spreadshirt.co.uk/sneakers54 Follow @sneakers54collection on Instagram.

Koal Bee 510 -Sneakers54 Collection (03-06-26) S54 Tribute to Dexter Wansel
2026/06/04
A tribute to the legend that is Dexter Wansel. I rushed into the studio to get together a list of tunes from the incredible body of work he was involved with in his amazing career . Whether, singing, composing or producing, Dexter always insisted on the best from all the artists he worked with. And by all accounts he was a very humble person. His legacy lives on in his music, I hope this tribute does some justice to his work.

Koal Bee 501-Sneakers54 Collection (19-11-25) Levis - Shrink to fit
2025/11/19
Show 501 - Dedicated to the infamous Levi 501's - Shrink to fit jeans !We used travel for miles to get a bargain pair back in the day, not sure what they cost today ?Have a listen whilst you read the instructions below ...enjoy. The "Bathtub Method" The process of sitting in a bathtub in Levi's 501 Shrink-to-Fit™ jeans is a classic method to achieve a custom fit.  Sizing: Purchase the unwashed jeans two sizes larger in the waist and a couple of inches longer in the length. Soaking: Wear the jeans and submerge yourself in warm water in a bathtub for at least 30 minutes. Drying: Wear the jeans until they are completely dry, which molds the denim to your body shape. Be careful, as the indigo dye will bleed and can stain bathtubs or furniture.
