Takin’Off 25 years!

Takin'Off is an independent music group that plays energetic dance music—and with this concert they will celebrate 25 years on the Czech music scene! The group produces, with a few exceptions, original songs on the border of funk, soul, pop, hiphop and R´n´B genres. The individual members of the group are mostly involved in other musical projects: busy instrumentalists on domestic stages, as well as sought-after studio players. The most frequent vocalist today is Kateřina Romansová, and in addition to the five-member brass section, rapper Henry D is also an essential part of the band.

Henry D – voc, rap; Kateřina Romansová – voc; Jaroslav Kohoutek – trp; Jan Šatra – trb; Jakub Klár – fl; Matouš Kobylka – sax; Petr Holovský – sax; Martin Kravka – b; Jaromír Čížek – dr; Ondřej Fišer – g; Jan Plíšek – keys.

After the concert there will be an after party with DJ Stephunk T & DJ Negative!

Dj Negative is one of the most experienced technical Djs on the Czech scene. He has been actively DJing since 1996. The flipped crossfader on his first mixing desk gave rise to the pseudonym Negative. Over the years he has gained experience in various bands across genres - the most famous projects include Stephunk T, Navigators, Notes From Prague, and Portless. He has been involved in club djing since the beginning of his career and alongside scratching, it is his main domain of focus. Between 2007 and 2012 he hosted his own show on Prague's Spin radio. In 2022, he became multiple champion in the Czech-Slovak DJ competition IDA.
