David A-P (AKA Lafleur)

David A-P AKA Lafleur – Owner of MotorCity Wine, MotorCity Wine Recordings & Hot Pot Records with releases on Rocksteady Disco, Hot Pot Records, MotorCity Wine recordings & Detroit Electronic Quarterly to name a few. Since discovering his stepfather’s collection of Funkadelic, Stevie Wonder, Frank Zappa and Tower of Power records in 1980, he’s been on a mission of music curation. He has shared the booth with some of the biggest musical legends from Detroit and across the world and has kept the dancers moving in Chicago, Paris, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Toronto, and Sao Paolo as well as many gigs in his homebase of Detroit and of course his own bar, MotorCity Wine. Expect Sommelier selected grooves to keep your booty moving all night.

“(Lafleur) takes you down a funky loopy alley that’s actually a shortcut to the freakiest party in town” – Juno Records
