PS3 Plays No Games, Just Good Music

Philly has a wealth of talent in all artistic genres. That said, we make it a point to support as many different artists as possible at each event.

This year, we are providing you with the grooviest soundscape for your chili-eating shenanigans – we have the big homie PS3. Known for eclectic, international and back-pack grooves that pack Bob and Barbara’s every Friday night, PS3 is vet in the Philadelphia musical arts. Whether promoting salsa concerts for renowned bands, to providing marketing acumen to the Painted Bride Art Center and other local arts organizations, PS3 is a multi-talented man about town and we are super excited to have him lending a hand…and an ear to this years Philly Chili Bowl’s 1’s and 2’s.

While you unwind after work or get in your creative zone while cutting veggies for your chilli, rock out to PS3’s Pura Vida Soundcloud above.

DJ Low Budget Will Help You Dance All That Chili Off!!

DJ Low Budget, or Low Beezy, is a music aficionado and it shows in his music selection and style. He studies, he reads and he rocks crowds like no other. We are excited and honored to have the legendary Dj Low Budget provide the soundtrack for Philly Chili Bowl 5! So Hype!!

As much fun as my friends and  I used to have at White T’s White Belts, Jump N Funk  or any house party where DJ Phsh was spinning, my most dear and most memorable Philly party moments come from the epic Thursday night parties at the 700 club with Low Budget on the wheels. Simply amazing. If you are between 29-35, you know what I’m talking about.

What is even more exciting about Low Budget joining us on Sunday is that  this year’s competition will be held at the very place where Low Budget and his then partner Diplo started Hollertronix, one of he most notorious shakedowns ever in the city of Philadelphia. This Sunday at the 5th Annual Philly Chili Bowl you definitely will enjoy good music (thank you Low Beezy), good food, good people…a good way to welcome the spring!

PS: if you need a Workout before the Philly Chili Bowl head to Silk City Diner this Friday night to see him in action with fellow turntable titan Bo Bliz!!

Afroooooo! To host Philly Chili Bowl 5!

Philly Chili Bowl’s hostess with the mostess

If you were to look for AfroDJiak, in the party, you would probably find her rocking out in the DJ booth, bobbing her head, probably scratching, and making her hands do that wiki, wiki, wiki thing deejays do.  However, at our 5th Annual Philly Chili Bowl, the wiki, wiki transforms to chili, chili when the deejay/radio personality emerges from behind the booth to host, provide spicy commentary, and present our coveted, one-of-a-kind trophy to the winner(s.)  

Raised in the DC Metro area and calling our city home, AfroDJiak has been a constant fixture in the Philly nightlife scene for several years.  Her creative standout mixes such as last month’s Fock Luve V.2, have propelled her to being one of the most sought after turntablists, spinning numerous high profile film and music festivals like, The Root’s Picnic, and Wawa’s Welcome America 4th of July celebration.  Her exceptional mixing skills, extensive knowledge of music, engineering​, stage, and music production have also allowed her to spin opening sets for artists such as Black Thought, The Cool Kids, The Money Makin’ Jam Boys, Freeway, and Wale to name a few.  But we don’t need to  name drop to tell you she’s good, just come out March 23rd and see for yourself!
