Get ready to move and groove as Motown Throwdown returns to Sophie’s Artist Lounge for a night of deep cuts, dancefloor classics, and timeless soul featuring the originals Dj Vthom and Biko (F.K.A. Needles) providing a night of genre-blending sets and legendary Motown Throwdown sessions. Whether you come for the nostalgia or the next-wave vibes, the energy will be electric from start to finish.
Motown Throwdown is the reimagined evolution of Motown on Mondays — a monthly weekend dance party celebrating the timeless sounds of Motown, soul, funk, and their modern-day descendants. With a rotating cast of St. Louis’s finest DJs, each Throwdown pays tribute to the legends while keeping the dancefloor fresh and forward.
Motown On Mondays (MOM) began in San Francisco in 2009, founded by DJ Donovan “Don Gordo,” as a passion project to reconnect with and celebrate the Motown-era sound he grew up loving. Over time, the concept expanded to over 40 cities worldwide with regular chapters in around 15 cities. In St. Louis, Motown On Mondays STL (@momstl) carries that legacy forward locally.
Presented in collaboration with 4 Hands Brewing Co., this night is powered by good music, good vibes, and good people. Free entry | 21+.
