Arrive early! ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EVY JANE [live] Vancouver (King Deluxe) EVY JANE is the downtempo pop project of Vancouver-based musicians Evelyn Mason and Jeremiah Klein. Skillfully dizzy beats accompany vocal melodies that telegraph brooding angst as much as fervid psychedelic glee. Drawing from UK bass\, RnB\, and noise\, the partnership yields beat-smart\, hyper-textural pop that imparts a sense of fey elegance onto sub-bass juvenile delinquency. http://twitter.com/#!/heavyevelyn http://www.facebook.com/evyjanemusic http://evyjane.tumblr.com/ http://soundcloud.com/heavy-evy http://vimeo.com/evyjane http://store.kingdeluxe.ca/album/evy-jane-12-and-digital http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XKKaMzMz3w http://www.factmag.com/2012/02/22/evy-janes-frozen-rb-futurism-is-equally-indebted-to-r-kelly-and-grime/ http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/13249-sayso --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TAAL MALA Vancouver (lighta! sound\, aufect\, 10pin) Back from under a translink bus\, you all know I still got it. yes. http://taalmala.org/ http://soundcloud.com/taal-mala http//twitter.com/#!/taalmala ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TUSK Vancouver (lighta! sound\, big feelings) Tusk has been DJing\, promoting and producing underground bass-driven music for over a decade. As a member of Vancouver's infamous Lighta! Sound and the Big Feelings crew Tusk focuses primarily on the continuumms of thought\, practice and influence that unite style and intent rather than alinging with one sub genre or another. Finding inspiration in the convergence between the ancient roots of soundsystem culture and contemporary innovations in technology and culture\, Tusk seeks to unite dancefloors and headphones\, the visceral and the conceptual in the crucible of vibratory gnosis. http://soundcloud.com/tusk-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OBSRVNT Nelson OBSRVNT has been djing under a variety of names for the last 15 years.

His team\, ESL are a staple in the Montreal rave scene\, with members featured on almost every Piknic Electronic\, Igloo Fest and Mutek since their formation in 2009 and were the first crew from outside the UK to be offered a show on radio station\, NASTY FM.

NEW INTENSITIES IN CLUB MUSIC **THURSDAY MAY 31ST** THE WALDORF 1489 E HASTINGS** ... BOK BOK (NIGHT SLUGS) LONDON UK! As a DJ\, Bok Bok has been stacking riddims like Lego bricks since 2004. His roots lie deep in the UK Grime sound. Grime productions obliterated the rulebook\, broke club music down to its rawest elements and rebuilt it into new forms. Unorthodox in every way\, that music set off Bok Bok down a unique path. Since then he has spread his sights wider\, taking in elements of gutter styles from around the globe\, all of which share a certain off-the-wall bass-heavy vibe. Disregarding purism he instead hunts all over for fresh dubplates. In 2008 Bok Bok teamed up with like-minded producer L-Vis 1990 to launch Night Slugs\, a club night dedicated to their new hybrid sound. Over its two year existence the party has become a cornerstone of the city’s music scene\, hosting both homegrown stars and international guests\, nurturing fresh talent and showcasing the best forward thinking club music cross-genre. In late 2009\, Night Slugs expanded into a label\, drawing together a crew of protagonists from various backgrounds: Kingdom from NYC\, Egyptrixx from Toronto and Girl Unit\, Mosca\, Greena and Jam City from the UK. http://nightslugs.net/ http://www.electricadolescence.com/category/tracks/ + deejays CHERCHEZ LA FEMME http://www.myspace.com/djcherchez TUCKER FOLDIN http://soundcloud.com/chadiotreetrunk FALCONS TIGHT MIKE http://www.falconboys.com/ ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// LIMTED SPACE - $12 COVER THURSDAY MAY 31 • WALDORF HOTEL • 1489 E HASTINGS LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/bok-bok/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120518 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120519 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120514T230128 LAST-MODIFIED:20120514T230128 UID:3496@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Wood at Sorry Babushka DESCRIPTION:Red Army Productions is once again proud to present Free Drum'n'Bass & Ghetto Funk\, Friday Jam for all of you bass lovers out there! ...

Tours of North America and Japan solidified his reputation as a producer who is ser...ious about his game\, and one who avoids trends\, with his eyes steady on the horizon of new ideas. His creative work is often guided by the maxim\, coined by none other than Fred Rogers\, that "deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex". Pretty excited to hear what he's going to pull out in this very special dj set!!! Geekmusic\, BadRobot\, Morriskode\, Soolah and PixelWrangler are planning to hypnotize you with some special sounds and visual feasts.

After seven years touring the world as drum-n-bass maestro Infiltrata\, after winning over icons such as Goldie and Photek\, John Dadzie gave himself a new name\, a new sound\, and a new determination. It was 2005 and the gentile beatmaker was inspired by sounds he heard spun by the likes Technical Itch\, Skream and Benga. It was dubstep. And it was his calling. Once 12th Planet is born\, the story really begins. The British dubstep movement takes hold in LA thanks to 12th Planet and the events he aligns himself with; Smog\, Media Contender\, HARD\, and his own club night Dubtroit. Like the mythological twelfth planet (popularized by controversial author Zecharia Sitchin)\, our 12th Planet flies perpendicular to the system. His wicked beats are off axis. His subsonic frequencies surround you in their own orbit. America's first king of dubstep is ready for impact. http://www.blueprintevents.ca/ MAKE SURE to Become a fan of Blueprint Events: http://www.facebook.com/blueprintevents Follow Blueprint Events on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/blueprintevents LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/12th-planet-fvded/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120526 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120527 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120511T124159 LAST-MODIFIED:20120511T124159 UID:3476@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Subversive-Mike Parker DESCRIPTION:On Saturday May 26\, 2012 Subversive is proud bring Mike Parker to Vancouver! Do. Not. Miss! deep in the underground... in the cavernous basement of the old Woodward's department store...the sounds of dark\, groovy\, ethereal techno will boom\, rattle\, and pulse as Subversi...ve and W2 bring you a night of incomparable music\, and vibes. MIKE PARKER (Geophone\, Dozzy Records\, Labyrinth) Self proclaimed noise maker\, artist\, fine arts university prof\, and first and foremost electronic music producer\, Mike Parker has cultivated one of the most distinguishable sounds in techno to date. Parker combines his quiet obsession with analogue experimentation\, fascination of ring modulators and love of the atonal and dissonant\, to create a signature and patented sound often recognisable from the first bar. Over the years\, his education in the visual arts has had a profound impact on the music he produces. His production style is as uncompromising as his dj sets are powerful: a track is rehearsed many times\, then recorded live on mostly analogue gear with no edits or overdubbing later. His dj sets have the same spontaneous bite. Recent releases include a remix of classic Aubrey for MOWAR and a track on SPECTRAL SOUND\, also included on Ryan Elliot's recent "Document' compilation. Working from the relative obscurity of his Buffalo\, New York Studio... Mike Parker's incredible skills and unique take on the techno genre have NOT gone unnoticed... from Japan to Europe... techno afficianado's ears have been perking up at his distinctive sound. This spring alone has seen him grace the decks of such legendary clubs as Le Batofar (Paris) Moog (Barcelona) and Berghain (Berlin) The Subversive Crew is STOKED for this event and KNOW you will love the sounds of Mike Parker! LYNDSY BROW (A.K.A. Miss Myte) (Subversive\, Aspect Media) Miss Myte has become a name synonymous with quality underground house and techno. Playing in clubs\, outdoor festivals\, and intimate after-hour parties over the last 7 years\, she has had the honour of sharing the stage with the likes of M.A.N.D.Y.\, Miss Kittin & the Hacker\, Alex Smoke\, John Tejada\, Tyler Stadius\, Jay Tripwire\, Adam Marshall\, J. Hunsberger and DVS1. We love what (and how) Lyndsy plays music... we bet your feet and booty will too! AUSTIN PHILLIPS (Subversive\, Deep UnderG) The audible emotion that Austin creates behind the decks and the clever creations he devises in his studio reflect his inner musical guru. Setting the soundscape of many of Subversive's events...playing alongside such greats as DVS1\, Peter Van Hoesen\, and Eddie Richards... Vancouver's underground has come to love Austin... because... well... Austin knows his shit! If you do too... and love to dance.. you must check! ; ) CALEB FOX (Subversive\, Black Knights) Caleb Fox plays dope music. You may have been lucky enough to catch him behind the decks deep in the Vancouver underground. If so\, you will have heard his mad skillz and exquisite selections. If not… this is your chance! Come early. Have a beverage\, and dance like you own the floor! Darby's turbo-charged sound system will be in full effect and Miles will be at the controls of his crazy laser...projection art by Sebnem Ozpeta will light up the room in mind bending ways\, and with this amazing DJ line-up... the music will blow your mind and move your body! $20 advance tickets at clubzone.com and at W2 Media Cafe (111 West Hastings) Beatstreet and all Puff locations.

Poets have tried to illustrate their beauty but have fallen short of the real experience. With the stars aligned and playa magic in the air we have captured the m...agic of the Sirens and deliver it to you here in Vancouver. Be sure to get a view of these mythical and mystical creatures as they lure your hearts to the Pier with their sensual performance. If you were lucky enough to see the Pier last year on the playa\, then you will know what an incredible part of the Burn experience this was. Now its coming to Vancouver\, well Dawg's grand tribute to the Pier. To follow in the theme of this creation we will be encouraging sea related attire. Pirates\, seahorses and mermaids are a good start but don't let us stop your imagination and creativity or free spirit (if you wanna be a cowboy\, do it!) There will be barrels of rum and mighty fine ale available on the ship deck with fire artists to fill your need for heat and that magical touch of an orange yellow flame we all know well. Aside from all the formalities there will be fishing and the famous wishing pond. Toss in a coin and make a wish! Maybe you could get lucky ;) The night will be filled with jolly mates and tales and adventures from days past of the high seas to the dusty playa. There will not be shortage of laughs and some fancy dance steps. So do not be left ashore. Get on board or Moby Dick might hunt you down and eat you. The Pier Group\, Generations Of Sound\, and Submerged Studios present SEA OF DERELICT DREAMS- A BURNING MAN FUNDRAISER Saturday\, May 26\, from 9pm until LATE | Submerged Studios\, 390 Industrial\, Vancouver DJs\, Burlesque/Boylesque\, fishing from our 20ft Pier\, fire show (because fire has nothing to do with the theme but it’s really cool!) and more! And while you’re having fun\, you’ll be helping us bring The Pier 2012 back to the Playa. Check it out here! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1705373243/pier-2-burning-man-2012 Talent: MARS – Generations Of Sound/13 Moons Electro/Progressive/Minimal Michael Arthur Riel\, aka. Mars has been singing\, dancing and loving music since he can remember he did his first break dancing class at Hastings Community Center when he was 5. Finally after years of begging to play the drums\, to which they said “No way we live in a townhouse”\, his parents gave him a guitar and he began writing and playing music in 1993. In 1994 Mars went to his first Rave and the electronic music scene was thrust deep into his sub consciousness…. In 2000 his mind was blown wide open by the sounds at Organix and Psycadelic trance found a place deep in his heart. Mars knew at that moment he wanted to be behind the decks and producing deep throbbing beats to create space for others to move their bodies\, explore their minds and find their hearts. Since 2005 he has been focusing on pushing the envelope of the interactive arts experience through his two production companies 13 Moons & Generations Of Sound Productions. Mars will take you to the stars and back and he’ll be shaking a leg with you the whole time. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mars-DJ-Diggity/128015139900 TANGO – Independent Breaks/Electro Tango is a Vancouver based electronic music DJ. He specializes in breaks and electro and dabbles in other genres. He is also a fire performer. http://www.facebook.com/pages/DJ-Tango/100171756740821 FREEBOUND- BassSick Glitch Hop/Ghetto Funk/Funky Breaks/Drum and Bass If you have ever heard one of Freebound's set you would know that they are anything but conventional. From a young age his taste in music has been very diverse. As a youth you could find anything from classical\, hip hop\, alternative rock\, celtic\, or bluegrass in his tape player. His unbiased love for music has followed him to the West Coast where he was introduced to electronic music and the festival culture at Shambhala Music Festival. He knew he had found his calling after feeling the love and good vibes that radiated from this place and this music. Since the first sine wave pulsed through his chest he started taking steps to amass his arsenal. At the time he was attending school and spent his entire student loan on turntables\, eating nothing but rice\, pasta\, and oatmeal for the next four months. Since he first touched the decks it has become an obsession and you need a crowbar to pry him off of them. Expect big things in the up and coming years as he is working very hard on multiple EP's\, DJ sets\, live PA\, and collaborations. He is also co-owner/operator of BassSick productions festival and event company in the Sea to Sky Corridor.

LOST BOY FOSTA & DEENER- Vancity Junglists/Elektrik Kollektive Drum & Bass From the second the 'Amen Break' graced his ear\, Chris 'LOSTBOY' Foster realized his destiny and began the life long journey of keeping the jungle alive. Coming up in the Kelowna scene circa 2008\, LOSTBOY established himself a niche of hard and heavy DNB\, and whether the dance floor was raving or vanishing\, LOSTBOY came to represent! Jump forward to 2011\, now soaking up the sounds of Vancouver alongside The Vancity Junglists\, LOSTBOYs journey continues through the worlds of moombah\, dancehall\, dub and even house music to bring a new and satisfying taste to his palate. Now harnessing his skills as producer\, and running a weekly DNB night at The Scarlet on the Granville strip\, LOSTBOY is continuing down his path and keeping the heads rocking as he does. Keep your eyes on this one\, if you can find him. Originally a bass player in a punk band\, Deener ended up going to one to many raves and ended up getting obsessed withe the amen break. Scraped together the funds for a pair of turntables and a mixer. Learned on vinyl but inevitably made the switch to serato. In 2010 he assembled the Vancity Jungists and put on a weekly dnb night the "junglist movement" for a few months in the fall. Untill things fell through because the bar owner was a total sketch bag. Aaron's favorite Dnb is ragga jungle but also will throw down smooth liquid and some heavy jump up. AARON REDINA AKA.

He then started to really enjoy some old school records that had listened to from child hood and then laying down some sweet Deep house on top of this is what really propelled him to that sexy soulful sound. By 2005 Derek was very well know in some of Vancouver's best after hours parties. His tight mixing and quick on the fly change ups really set him apart from the rest. He is was also starting to get some good feedback from some of the top promotional organizers that were looking to have a little change in the musical style Then back in 2005\, Derek started a festival called ALLUVIUM with his Partner Mike Brisebois aka PsyCoSys this event was the turning point for him\, and his music. From that point on he knew he had had found his Tribe.

He has played at many Festivals including Diversity\, Big Time Out\, Entheos\, Komasket\, In Shala\, Earth Dance\, The Vancouver Folk Music Festival\, and Shambhala for 6 years running.

High school was all hip hop as the turntables came out of the basement. While others were obsessed with “keeping it real”\, he kept it open\, and dance floor friendly\, hitting up a few raves and feeling the lasers. FFWD ten years to audio school in Vancouver\, and another five partying in the house scene\, then WHAM – IT’S DRUM AND BASS! Quick as a snare rush he assembled the SHAHdjs\, promoting the full spectrum of DnB and embracing the full Bass Culture Community. http://shahdjs.com/ MICHAEL FRASER - Live (Live Violin fused with gypsy\, jazz and house beats) Michael's solo DJ performances have the young and old\, the sober and intoxicated\, dancers and listeners alike grooving to his violin swagger.

You can also spot Michael's cameo appearances on recordings with indie bands such as Hot Hot Heat\, Belle Game and Swingamajig.

All three have outstanding musical backgrounds spanning across much of Canada and the US\, and have experience playing in a variety of Vancouver's most notable venues such as the Chan Center\, the Vogue\, the Red Room\, and the Pan Pacific. As a trio\, they tackle music both within and beyond the boundaries of Western Art Music to include popular works by Michael Jackson\, Van Morrison\, and they have added variety by learning a selection of tangos by Latin composers. ECHO PILOT- DJ Set (Electronica/Dub) Echopilot is producer/bassist Mike Paprocki who has been cooking up a special blend of dubby electronic for some time now and has seen releases Dubhead Records\, Native State\, and is currently on Mushroom Lounge Recordings. Never fitting into one genre\, Echopilot is a mixture of modern dub\, breakbeat\, world fusion\, dancehall and a touch of glitch. His last album "Ghost Lion Navigation" is available on iTunes\, Beatport and other fine digital download sites. He will be presenting new original material from the new album due out in late spring. www.echopilotmusic.com FRANTIQ -BeLeaf/Audio Empire/Philthy City (Tasty Grooves) Since an early age Frantiq has been interested in all things music and audio related and has shared these passions ever since. The catalyst of these came when he discovered the world of DJ’ing through old school hip-hop DJ’s and turntablists. Soon after being introduced to the diverse world of electronic music the two became one and the same from then on. In his mixes he takes the skills and techniques of turntablism and applies them to a wide and eclectic range of musical styles. Expect to hear the unexpected as he shares everything good under the sun from hip/trip-hop\, downtempo\, funk & soul\, breaks\, world & fusion\, house & breaks\, glitch\, and bass music all arranged and mixed from the ears of one music lover to another (you). http://www.facebook.com/Frantiq http://soundcloud.com/frantiq KINOTROPY (BeLeaf/Sigma1) www.kinotropy.com Since 2006\, Vancouver native VJ KINOTROPY (key-no-trope-ee) has been re-mixing video with live\, audio-synchronized digital effects alongside all types of musical performances including international headliners such as Tipper\, Kilowatts\, The Bug + Warrior Queen and Vibesquad\, Kraddy\, Heyoka\, Ott LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/somasounds-mashup/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120520 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120521 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120502T194142 LAST-MODIFIED:20120502T194142 UID:3448@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Legendary Long Weekend DESCRIPTION:LEGENDARY LONG WEEKEND : VICTORIA DAY BASH 2012 Legendary Long Weekend is back for its second round in 2012!

Some of the influences are obvious. Others not so much so. His Puerto Rican birthright and Miami upbringing ring apparent when he's pumping out sci-fi roller disco sounds\, but when his vibe turns to the cold dark comfort of Detroit-esque minimal mind funk\, it would seem this man forgets from whence he came. It's a memory lapse that sounds like a lapdance in the side room of a space ship. More importantly\, it's a memory lapse that works. It's not so much a lapse then as a love of diversity\, a creative finesse with a variety of good tastes. 214 effortlessly blends lush Latin roots with robo-transformer trips\, always maintaining a skillful balance between the nasty\, the not-right\, the cold\, hard\, and just-right -- all at the same time. He's got plenty of tricks up his proverbial record sleeve. And he's been pulling them out for years now. Wherever you can find it\, count on 214 for premium blend electro and assorted savory flavors from the future.

The duo (Dunks & The Outlier) first teamed up because of a mutual love for "Hunting" good music\, and today this passion still rings true as they continue to champion the simple but often lost idea that the music itself comes first\, regardless of attachments to genre. The Funk Hunters name is now in high demand\, receiving bookings\, accolades\, and remix requests from all corners of the electronic music scene. Armed with 4-turntables and the unique ability to create live mashups and remixes\, their DJ sets standout. Seamlessly blending original productions with everything from HipHop to Funk\, Disco to House\, Dubstep to DnB\, and everything in between\, The Funk Hunters create original sets never replicated. It's not uncommon to find this duo headlining an all bass music festival one night and then performing a funk\, soul\, or boogie set the next. They have toured across Canada multiple times\, played to crowds of thousands at renowned festivals such as the Shambhala Music Festival and the Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival\, and have been invited to share the stage with musical pioneers like Z-Trip\, RJD2\, and Cut Chemist. In 2010\, they completed their first month-long international tour\, playing shows across the country of Brazil. 2012 will see them complete their first tour of the UK & Europe. On the production front\, their original music and remixes have been played around the world in clubs and on radio-stations alike. Signed to Ghetto Funk\, Roca Records\, Fort Knox Recordings\, Manmade Records\, Homebreakin Records\, and Swing Set Sounds\, The Funk Hunters' releases prove again that their musical taste and influence spans all genres. They've now just launched their own label\, ReSoul Records\, to distribute future releases while still maintaining close partnerships with labels like Goodgroove Records (UK) to produce their own acclaimed events that bring international talent to Canada.

Distal (Tectonic/Embassy/Surefire) Forgetting BPM and genre to the masses\, Distal relies only on his signature sound alone to leave its mark. He produces a wide array of moods\, tempos and rhythms\, often ...taking influences from his early childhood love of techno\, jungle and hardcore. Before entering the world of production head on Distal spent a few years under the microscope at Georgia State University researching a sensational auditory phenomenon called Synesthesia. One day while digging through break-core records he stumbled upon a sound that would inspire him to launch his production career (Pinch – Punisher on Planet Mu). Using his newfound passion\, traditional teachings and his scientific studies in unison he ran head first into the studio winter of 2007. In early 2010 Distal started his own label ‘Embassy Recordings’ with childhood friend Ethan Anderson (MITE). Soon there after in the summer of 2010 he would receive his inaugural physical vinyl release with the legendary label Soul Jazz Records. This would be the launch pad for his career landing him releases on stalwart labels such as Tectonic and Tube10 and gigs at places like the world renowned Fabric in London touring globally alongside artists like Pearson Sound and Africa Hi Tech. From his initial release in 2010 until now in 2012 Distal has put out almost a dozen 12” vinyl releases and that many more digital releases\, collaborations and remixes for prolific labels like Frite Nite and Trouble & Bass. But his biggest accomplishment will come in the form of a 14 track Album on Tectonic in the spring appropriately named ‘Civilization’. Looking ahead Distal is already thinking about future projects\, and how to genuinely push things forward and farther than he has in the past. He lives to create\, expand and invent. Hopefully one day leaving a legacy on the world as one of the most in demand artists North America has ever seen.

Dave Nada is known to stage dive while his DJ partner Matt Nordstrom squeezes the duo’s most riotous beats through the speakers. It’s a reminder Nadastrom aren’t just pushing 21st century dance music toward the edge – they’re jumping off it. The D.C.-born\, L.A.-based duo of DJ-producers come from different backgrounds\, but share a ravenous appetite for extremes. As the prime architects of Moombahton – a sound Nada invented on the fly at a basement party by slowing Dutch house music down to the tempo of reggaeton – the duo have been praised in the pages of Spin and Rolling Stone\, pumped on the airwaves of BBC Radio 1 and NPR\, and revered at nightclubs and festivals across the planet. Nada was born in Maryland\, a first generation Ecuadorian-American surrounded by five brothers and the sounds of cumbia\, Ecuadorian folk\, salsa\, merengue and reggaeton. As a teen\, he gravitated toward Washington’s legendary hardcore punk scene\, playing in bands while learning to DJ on college radio. A move to Baltimore landed Nada in the second surge of Baltimore club music\, where he DJed alongside club icons K-Swift\, Rod Lee and DJ Technics\, while producing acclaimed club tracks of his own. Nordstrom grew up in Virginia on the other side of the Washington beltway where skateboarding provided a contact point with punk\, metal and hip-hop. In the late ‘90s\, he swapped the skateboard for turntables and switched his college major from psychology to audio engineering. Soon\, Nordstrom was the resident engineer for esteemed D.C. house heroes Deep Dish and piloting recording sessions with the likes of Stevie Nicks and P. Diddy\, even scoring a Grammy nod along the way. When Nada and Nordstrom came together in 2007\, the chemistry was instant and the music was colossal. The group signed to Switch’s Dubsided label where their debut debut EP\, “Pussy\,” immediately topped the charts on Beatport. Since then\, Nadastrom have produced tracks for a slew of artists\, including Kid Sister\, and have done remixes for Kid Cudi\, Benny Benassi\, Christina Aguilera\, Waka Flocka Flame\, the Death Set and Alex Clare. In 2010\, the duo relocated from Washington to Los Angeles and hit the road\, performing at the biggest festivals in dance music\, including Australia’s Creamfields festival with Deadmau5\, the Disco Biscuits’ Camp Bisco festival\, Bass Island with Bassnectar\, the Mad Decent Block Party with Major Lazer and the HARD Festival in Los Angeles with Ducksauce\, Chromeo\, BoysNoize and Odd Future. This fall\, Nadastrom joins Skrillex and 12th Planet for more than 50 nights on the hotly anticipated Mothership Tour. Meantime\, Moombahton has become a movement of its own\, with Nadastrom serving as the genre’s leading ambassadors. Diplo’s Mad Decent label dropped the acclaimed compilation “Dave Nada presents Blow Your Head Vol. 2: Moombahton” in May and Scion released Nadastrom’s Moombahton EP “El Baile Diabluma” this fall. “There are never any rules\,” says Nada of the duo's approach. “And Moombahton helped us realize that even more." http://www.blueprintevents.ca/ MAKE SURE to Become a fan of Blueprint Events: http://www.facebook.com/blueprintevents Follow Blueprint Events on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/blueprintevents ---- FRIENDS & Partners VANCOUVER DUBSTEP/Giant Angry Robot http://www.facebook.com/vancouverdubstep Futurobeat http://futurobeat.com/ 110 BPM Blog https://110bpm.wordpress.com/ LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/nadastrom-faded-launch/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120420 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120421 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120419T212037 LAST-MODIFIED:20120419T212037 UID:3368@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Heavyweight Fridays w Vancity Junglists DESCRIPTION:WE'RE BACK!

With a fierce hobby of collecting music\, including seeking out hard to find and limited edition vinyl releases\, Dangamouse has increased his appetite for music which subsequently has lead to his superior track selection skills.

They are currently in his closet under some other shit. Soulful joker Samiyam of the Brainfeeder clan has garnered an international following for his shifty\, slouchy\, street-infused beats. Originally from Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, Samiyam is part of the independent producers movement and rose to prominence from inside his bedroom walls\, through beats shared on a global level between producers\, DJs\, and fans hungry for his laid-back sound. Funky and disjointed\, Samiyam’s music thumps with a hip-hop backbone and swaggers into the future through a smokey cloud of jazz influences and a twisted sensibility from an artist who uses a “platinum midi toaster-oven” as equipment and hand-designed each individual album cover for his last release – on porn pages. With a wide sweep of inspiration from video games to Italian horror movies to Michael Jackson\, Samiyam unravels sounds then shoves them back together in clever new ways. His music mutates and then takes shape into a hard and sloppy sonic experience\, textured by wet beats that drip with soul. Samiyam was Hyperdub’s first US signing and has also released on a plethora of highly respected labels including Warp Records\, Ninja Tune\, Poo-Bah\, and Brainfeeder. His first full-length album\, Rap Beats Vol. 1\, was a copious collection of deconstructed delights that showcased this young producer’s quick thinking and keen ear for unusual combinations. Now a resident of Los Angeles and an integral member of the local beat community\, Samiyam collaborates with Flying Lotus under the name FlyamSam and released a full-length album "Sam Baker's Album" last fall on Brainfeeder. Like concrete smashing through a dirty window\, the sound of Samiyam shatters expectations\, and if you listen closely to the fragmented shards of bouncing street bass\, you can hear his swag. www.soundcloud.com/brainfeeder/samiyam-cushion www.myspace.com/samiyambeats www.facebook.com/pages/Samiyam/194681980556546 www.twitter.com/samiyambeats MONO/POLY In defying the laws of tradition\, Los Angeles based music producer Mono/poly (born Charles Dickerson) has managed to outstrip the logics of multi-genre producing. Known for his distinct madness of face melting bass\, paired with his dreamy astral soundscapes of glitch-based hip-hop\, Mono/ploy has proved himself to be a natural phenomenon. His debut album\, The George Machine (EP) was released in the fall of 2009 on Faces Records\, which was followed by his first full-length solo album Paramatma (Tasteful Licks) in the spring of 2010. In 2011\, Mono/Poly released Manifestations\, making a strong debut on the Brainfeeder label\, and it continues its heavy rotation being played by the likes of Radiohead\, Erykah Badu and Jay Scarlett at BBC Radio's 1XTRA. Mono/Poly appears on releases from Warp records and Planet Mu\, featured alongside fellow artists Flying Lotus and Nosaj Thing. His gravitational attraction to revolutionary sounds has gained vast recognition among listeners and artists as one of the hottest up-and-coming producers in the world. Currently\, he is working on his latest album that is to be released sometime in mid 2012. Mono/poly continues to perform his live sets across the globe having covered places such as Greece\, Switzerland\, France and Lithuania\, in addition to his touring in the US. www.monopolytracks.com www.facebook.com/monopolytracks RYAT Brainfeeder's latest artist RYAT (pronounced "riot") is the brainchild of Christina Ryat\, a producer\, composer\, multi-instrumentalist\, vocalist and sound manipulator who uses live electronics\, instruments\, pedals\, and software to create avant compositional tunes. A recent LA transplant via Philadelphia\, this versatile artist has a vast array of musical styles and prestige. Last year\, commissioned by the Annenberg Foundation she composed a French influenced classical piece with traditional Indian dance. Followed with an extensive US electronic tour promoting her critically acclaimed avant big beat album Avant Gold. Avant Gold and RYAT's intense live show caught the eye of Flying Lotus who asked her to join the exclusive Brainfeeder roster. Ryat's latest LP TOTEM will be released MAY 2012 on BRAINFEEDER. RYAT's main collaborator live and in the studio is with MAST(Tim Conley)\, the Nels Cline-esque guitarist\, multi-instrumentalist\, composer and producer. Tim has also toured as the guitar player for the Grammy award winning Digable Planets. Ryat has a diverse list of collaborations not set in one scene. She has hit electronics with King Britt and the Disco Biscuits\, high brow jazz improvisations with Billy Martin(MMW)\, Calvin Weston(Ornette Coleman)\, and Mark Guiliana\, and even avant indie rockers like Pow Pow (from MANMAN) and Botany. RYAT\, well known for her explosive live show has shared the stage with artists like Flying Lotus\, the Flaming Lips\, Mew\, Diplo\, Saturn Never Sleeps. PRESS: URB Magazine- "So overtaken by the witchy\, glitchy\, orchestral charm of their sound." Bitch Magazine- "If you like getting lost in Animal Collective and Radiohead\, RYAT's rainbow-tinged electronic pop is right up your alley. Curious and complex\, their arrangements are innovative and shimmering" SOMA Magazine- "Creating Sounds that can't be pigeonholed. Dense asymmetric rhythmic textures\, swirling multi-layered vocals\, unexpected shifts in tempo and cryptic lyrics." Nylon Magazine- "There is some serious experimental music coming from this trip-hop duo from Philly." Philadelphia City Paper- "part melodic hit-making material\, part some other wonderfully bizarre thing less easily mined and identified" RCRDLBL- "tapping into some serious fast-paced\, bordello-imbued Bjork vibes...electronically lush with driving percussion and creates urgency with its post-punk-influenced guitars." BUST Magazine- "Whether swimming the mainstream or remaining the best kept secret\, RYAT maintains their envelope-pushing ways" Redefine Magazine- "I can honestly say I have never seen a band perform like this. It was seriously incredible\, and incredibly bizarre." www.ryat.info www.twitter.com/ryat www.ryat.bandcamp.com http://alphapuprecords.com/releasepage.php?UPC=669158523771 MAST Mast is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist/composer/producer Tim Conley.

The music is just as much an homage to the music of the south\, as it is a cultural study on rhythms and musical subcultures of the world. Fascinated with creating a balance between these two worlds\, but always maintaining a universally smooth vibe. Beyond Just his production and remixing\, Mike brings a live set that challenges traditional DJing. Actually live remixing rap vocals \, and re-purposing r&b vocals as instruments\, but never losing sight of the dancefloor. Most recently known for his project FALCONS (Alphapup Records) with long time friend Kayleo Stocko (in Oakland\, Ca). Some of the shows Falcons have been involved in\, in the past\, present or future are Low End Theory LA & SF\, Love Parade Music Festival SF\, Change the Beat SF\, Boiler Room LA (our set will be live broadcasted in June online)\, Hellfyre/Alphapup Artists Showcase\, Shambhala Music Festival Vancouver\, West Coast tour 2012\, and much more! http://tightmike.bandcamp.com/ http://soundcloud.com/tightmike MICHAEL RED on the warm-up music and the odd track in between sets if needed. might grab the mic a few times to let people know what's happening. http://soundcloud.com/michaelred http://lowindigo.blogspot.com/ LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/brainfeeder/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120511 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120512 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120417T013117 LAST-MODIFIED:20120417T013117 UID:3354@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Rhombus @ W2 DESCRIPTION:RHOMBUS & W2's Mayworks Festival present KATE SIMKO | Spectral Sound - Hello?Repeat | Chicago USA ... *Live AV Tour* _________________________________________ An artist waiting in the shadows in Chicago\, Kate Simko stepped in to the light in 2011\, pushing boundaries and leaving an indelible mark of individuality and inspiration on dance floors worldwide. To start\, Kate released her acclaimed debut album ‘Lights Out’ earlier this year on Berlin's esteemed Hello?Repeat label. An artistic statement that bridged her diverse love of house\, tech-house\, minimal\, ambient\, and beyond\, this is an LP in the classic sense - an album to be played from start to finish. Aiming to take things to another level with her live performance\, Kate teamed up with visual artist Jeffrey Weeter to create a cutting-edge audio-visual display to complement the album release tour. Their collaborative efforts resulted in an innovative "live cinema" show in which Kate's music manipulates high definition video\, in real-time. The subsequent live tour took in Asia\, Europe and the Americas and included venues of the calibre of Fabric\, Verboten in NYC\, Copenhagen’s Culture Box\, Eleven (Tokyo)\, Cocoliche (Buenos Aires) and Rex Club in Paris. Simko’s engaging A/V set took the world by storm. Getting her start stateside alongside Matthew Dear\, Ryan Elliott\, and the Spectral Sound family\, Kate has quietly\, yet consistently\, established herself as one of the standout artists in the United States. A diverse musician\, Kate's projects have ranged from solo piano compositions\, to remixing Philip Glass\, to composing a feature-length film score\, to rocking jackin’ DJ sets\, and producing intricate dance music. Her unique background has led to a distinctive sound that has carved her niche in dance music's avant garde\, while her live set and DJ sets have continued to light up dance floors across the globe.

Of course\, the response to ‘Footcrab’ was phenomenal\, receiving critical and commercial success in equal measure across the dance music scene.

All event proceeds go to funding Synesthesia Camp More information can be found @ http://www.synesthesiacamp.com/ ## SOUNDS ## PHOTEK - Photek Productions : L.A Photek : a sonic scientist\, pushing both his sounds and fans' expectations to the outermost limits since 1994\, he floods the footnotes of electronica like MP3s clutter up your hard drive. Ardent displays of his eclectic method were there from the very beginning. The seeds had been sewn back in the dancefloor's most formative days\, attending early raves\, from his first EP on Metalheadz with the drum & bass meets downtempo 'Into The 90s'\, to 'Mine To Give'\, a sassy slab of sexed up house\, set the foundations for todays genreless battlefields. Destination tomorrow: Photek's decorated past and diligent work ethic leads us here. The new music you've heard from Photek in 2011 is yet another chapter in a life spent overdosing on sonic nuances and boundary testing. In the past 12 months his new material has been remixed by the brightest young stars of dance music - Boddika\, Falty DL\, Addison Groove to name a few. In turn\, Photek has remixed for the likes of Moby\, Distance\, Ray Lamontagne and was part of Daft Punk's Tron Remixed package - for which he has been nominated for a Grammy. The releases on his newly re-launched label\, Photek Productions\, has garnered international support from tastemakers such as Benji B\, Gilles Peterson\, Skream\, Annie Mac\, Zane Lowe and more. His single 'Closer' was also released on Pinch's pioneering Tectonic Recordings in June\, leading to a collaborative monster of a single 'Acid Reign' between the two producers in Spring 2012. Next up for Photek is his contribution to the highly influential DJ Kicks compilation series on K7 Records\, a series of releases on Photek Productions and his much anticipated new artist album. There is a gathering noise that you can't ignore - Photek is well and truly back and you can be sure that whatever sound he drops next\, it won't fail to get the world's attention. "It's heartening to hear how comfortable Photek sounds in his newest pair of shoes. Don't confuse comfort with complacency\, because these are the most vicious\, hungry tracks Photek has produced since the '90s." - ResidentAdvisor.com "There are mavericks out on their own\, the fearlesss creators operating on the very fringes of their respective scenes - Photek is just such an artist." - DJ Mag "Photek has sweated over every little drum sound and fill resulting in a complex and subtle sound that is a million miles away from the nasty sound of commercial dancefloor dubstep." - DrownedInSound.com Website http://photek.fm/ Soundcloud http://soundcloud.com/photek Youtube http://www.youtube.com/photekproductions Facebook https://www.facebook.com/PhotekMusic Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/photek DJ Kicks http://www.dj-kicks.com/photek-dj-kicks/ XLR8R http://www.xlr8r.com/features/2012/04/xlr8rs-top-20-downloads-march Press: http://tinyurl.com/7pwunx5 MICHAEL RED (Lighta!/Low Indigo) http://soundcloud.com/michaelred http://lowindigo.blogspot.ca/ KIR MOKUM (Shah DJs) http://soundcloud.com/kir_mokum http://shahdjs.com/ HxDB http://www.hxdb.org/ http://soundcloud.com/hexadecibel THE FUNK HUNTERS http://www.thefunkhunters.com/ http://soundcloud.com/thefunkhunters DRUGZ N DREAMS http://drugzndreamz.com/ https://www.facebook.com/DRUGZNDREAMZ DJ Soma (aka ShaMANoiD) FRITZ THE CAT https://www.facebook.com/thecatfritz http://soundcloud.com/fritz-the-cat-1 TANGO FIRECLOUD https://www.facebook.com/pages/DJ-Tango/100171756740821 APPLICATION vs. THAT AFRICAN http://soundcloud.com/that-african https://www.facebook.com/pages/Application-Audio/259196772974 SIADIC http://soundcloud.com/siadic www.siadicmusic.com AIRSHIP http://soundcloud.com/airship COMMODDITY http://soundcloud.com/commoddity BRIDEN https://www.facebook.com/BridenFB http://soundcloud.com/briden COMPASS ROSE https://www.facebook.com/pages/Compass-Rose/129239507113315 HEIDROGEN http://www.soundcloud.com/heidrogen !!MORE TO BE ANNOUNCED!!! ## PERFORMANCE ## FERALESQUE https://www.facebook.com/Feralesque BURLESQUE ft.

Sweet Soul Burlesque Dance: It can be purely celebratory\, or conversely\, a laser-targeted blast of ideas. It incorporates physical disclosure\, allure\, submission\, danger\, or outright protest. The evolution... of truly articulate danceforms permit access to the full range of human emotion. The abstract poetry of modern dance\, the emancipatory power of early disco clubs\, and the high-wire sexual expression of the Burlesque revival are hyper-relevant examples of movement as dialog. The only true global language\, these corporeal conversations cross ethnic\, sexual\, and cultural boundaries in search of synthesis and opposition. Join us for a night of kinetic conversation and be reminded of your eloquent bodies by... SWEET SOUL BURLESQUE: This cabal of finely attuned physicalities requires scant introduction. After steering the legendary Dollhouse Studios through the murky waters of East Vancouver's renegade music / dance / art scene for over 6 years\, they have transitioned smoothly into the finest international burlesque that Canada has to offer. Their presence is undeniable; the uncompromising visionary Crystal Precious\, the hyper-athletic and innovative Lindsay Cherry\, the ethereal beauty and stately composure of Cara Milk\, and the dark fetish fantasy of Tristan Risk will be in full force. http://www.sweetsoulburlesque.com/ CYCLIST: Vancouverite-via-Winnipeg Mark Penner has been a fixture in Canada's live funk scene for years as part of Winnipeg's greatest live dance outfit Moses Mayes. Now\, he turns his ample production and performance skills to his solo project that's aimed squarely at the dancefloor. As Cyclist\, Mark's releases on Homebreakin / Punchout have received international acclaim\, and most recently\, his remix with Pat Lok of The Rapture's "How Deep is Your Love" has been selected by the band itself as the winner of the DFA Records remix competition.

Mochipet) has been tinkering with electronics since he was a child. However\, not until he added music to the equation\, did something special begin to take shape. Having grown up listening to metal guitar\, avant-garde jazz\, and mainstream hip-hop\, David's eclectic taste can now be seen in his music - ever changing\, and always evolving. The clean and unique vibrations David has presented to the music arena have reached as far as the Sports and Skateboarding world as well. His song 'Sharp Drest' (featuring Eric Solo and oonceoonce) is featured throughout the top-selling basketball videogame\, NBA2k9 alongside artists such as Beastie Boys\, N.E.R.D.\, and The Cool Kids. You may have also heard his musical contributions on FuelTV and DIRECTV\, providing hand-selected soundtracks to skate legends such as Anthony Van Engelen\, Christian Hasoi\, Jason 'Weeman' Acuna\, Laban Pheidias\, Lance Mountain\, Ray Barbee\, and Tony Hawk. His efforts have been recognized throughout the music community by way of nominations for titles including 'Best Electronic Act of 2008' from publications such as Clash Magazine (UK) and San Francisco Bay Guardian. His composition 'Dessert Search for Techno Baklava' has been performed by a 20 piece orchestra\, Alarm Will Sound\, around the world\, most notably at New York's Carnegie Hall\, and Amsterdam's Holland Festival! Never wasting an ounce of drive\, David founded and manages independent record label\, Daly City Records (DCR)\, which runs out of the Bay Area ' home to many up-and-coming artists. He is also working to finish up two new albums\, 'Vendetta (with MC Zulu)' and 'Rawr Means I love You in Dinosaur\,' both set to hit on his label this summer! Daly City\, California http://www.mochipet.com/ http://www.facebook.com/Mochipet.PetNation http://twitter.com/mochipetmobile http://www.dalycityrecords.com/ http://soundcloud.com/mochipet | MC ZULU | Having achieved worldwide acclaim for his off-brand variety of Electro-driven Reggae\, MC Zulu continues to push the sonic envelope. He deliberately chooses rhythms with a worldly\, yet uncategorizable feel to them as the backdrop for his rapid fire\, randomized cadence. MC Zulu's appeal\, however goes further than his choice of tracks. While many of his Dancehall contemporaries\, finding themselves in unfamiliar musical territory\, adhere to a more classic Reggae songwriting style\, Zulu enthusiastically breaks rules. He routinely channels a variety of artists which have nothing to do with Dancehall to create his intriguing sound. It is said that he developed such lyrical precision early on\, during his collaborations with Hip-Hop greats such as Aceyalone and Kool Keith. While irreverent interjections of Jazz choruses\, Country storytelling or Hip-Hop street smarts may go unnoticed to the casual listener\, those who have an attuned ear immediately develop an appreciation for Zulu's imaginative musings. It's no surprise that some of his most ardent fans around the world are DJs who have embraced the Global Bass Music trend. ===== Pseudonyms / Lyrical References: Zulu Riddim Killah / Bad Man Zulu / Zulu Man / Digital Screw / Whitelabel Menace / Zulu Star / MC ZULU / Zulu Massive / Zulu D.

The Librarian produces a unique blend of bass music that defies categorization. Her sound is rooted in low end frequencies and soulful melody. Exquisite taste in music\, her sets are deep and moving\, energetic yet enveloping. Come and hear for yourself. From Squamish BC\, Andrea is a Co-Founder and Director for Bass Coast Project\, a 4-day electronic music and art festival now in it’s fourth year - http://www.basscoast.ca/ The Librarian’s original productions can be found on both East Van Digital & King Deluxe labels with a new single forthcoming on Crude Records in the spring of 2012.

Sound. http://www.basscoast.ca/ http://www.thelibrarian.ca/ http://soundcloud.com/the-librarian | DUBCONSCIOUS | Dubconscious has come to represent both the east and the western coast of Canada. Born in Toronto & raised on the jungle & drum’n’bass sounds permeating the city in the late 90s & early 2000s\, he developed a taste for hard beats drenched in reggae vibes. 2004 brought a big move across the country to the city of Victoria\, which was nurturing a fledgling breaks & jungle scene – by the end of his first year of University\, he had bought his first set of Technics and the seed was planted. Bouncing back & forth between TO & Vic for the next 3 years of school presented plenty of chances to play to different music to new crowds\, adding reggae & dancehall to the repertoire\, as well dubstep – in its infancy at this point. After school the move was made back east\, joining up with the Dubslingers crew in Toronto – who are still holding down Canada’s longest running dubstep weekly\, Dubslingers Wednesdays at Thymeless. After having established a name for himself in Toronto’s competitive scene\, he headed west once more\, this time settling in Nelson\, BC. After spending two productive years in the area immersing himself in both the great outdoors & the underground party scene\, he's moved on further west to Vancouver\, where he continues to DJ all across the board - dropping sets jam packed with a mash of many forms of urban & modern bass music at a wide array of events & venues across the city\, the province\, and the country on a regular basis. He's also been spending time locked down in the studio\, slowly getting his production game together.. Dubconscious has appeared in nearly every major city in Canada\, sharing the stage with the likes of The Roots\, Andy C\, Mixmaster Mike\, Shy FX & Skibadee\, Rusko\, Dillinja\, Plastician\, Mimosa\, DJ NuMark\, the Glitch Mob\, An-Ten-Nae\, Mat The Alien\, Antiserum\, Marcus Visionary\, ill.gates & Jacky Murda and has appeared at numerous music festivals including Shambhala\, Starbelly\, Loki\, WEMF & Harvest Festival in Ontario & the Dragon Festival in Granada\, Spain. http://soundcloud.com/dubconscious http://facebook.com/djdubconscious | APPLICATION | http://www.facebook.com/pages/Application-Audio/259196772974 | HANS OHM | http://soundcloud.com/hans-ohm | MEMIO | Shannon Long aka DJ Memio is a Calgary-native\, and for years she co-hosted the popular weekly radio show What Would The Neighbours Think? on U of C's CJSW.

Tickets @ the usual places Beatstreet - 439 Hastings Street West (604) 683-3344 Puff Uptown - 3255 Main Street 604-708-9804 Clubzone Thugfucker -- Former international aid worker teams up with Icelandic security specialist and former top model to create an international DJ supergroup. Certainly not what you'd expect from a group called Thugfucker - but then Greg Oreck and Holmar Filipsson often do tend to defy expectations. One a New Yorker transplanted to Europe\, the other an Icelander transplanted to New York. Both from a strong musical background with an almost obsessive dedication to the art of wild party instigation. Growing up on an Icelandic commune full of some of the country's finest political thinkers\, Holmar eschewed his past and all the heady philosophy of his childhood to move to New York and search out more physical and visceral methods of bringing happiness to the masses. Meanwhile Greg was in the midst of a successful (if short-lived) political career in America when he too became disillusioned with the duplicity and self serving interest of those around him. Disturbed by the void he saw in most people's lives\, it was in the dark depths of the New York underground club scene that he finally found his true calling. Unbeknownst to each other\, Holmar and Greg then propelled themselves along similar paths\, throwing parties\, honing their musical & studio skills and searching out inspiration from a wide variety of musical sources. Then one late night\, in a cloudy alcohol fueled discussion about the plight of the genetically Rhythm-Blind\, Holmar and Greg recognized the depth of their shared passions. Thugfucker was born. Thugfucker's latest single\, "Disco Gnome" is currently out on Life and Death records and lots of little gnomes can be found in the boxes of DJs worldwide. Feel the gnome love.

This peer-declared nice guy has jumped ahead of the game and is quickly showing why he’s held down top spots on Juno Breaks\, Hype Machine and Soundcloud hot charts in addition to taking the 1st spot in Hush Nightclub’s 2010 DJ Challenge. Comfortable rinsing out everything from Disco to Drum and bass\, Neon Steve has developed a reputation for producing bass music ranging in tempos with distinct hip hop and funk influences. Anyone who’s had the chance to see him will attest; Neon Steve has an exceptional ability to produce guaranteed boogie down tunes that will have any dance floor poppin off! Hailing from Vancouver Island and currently residing in Victoria BC\, Neon has thrown down in all major cities between Victoria and Winnipeg. In addition to headlining\, he’s provided support to some of the world’s top acts including\, but not limited to: A Skillz\, Rusko\, Jack Beats\, Zeds Dead\, Cut Chemist\, Krafty Kuts\, Nero\, Featurecast\, ESKMO\, the Freestylers\, MSTRKRFT\, Freq Nasty\, Boy 8 Bit\, Pimpsoul\, Mooqee\, Nick Thayer....and the list goes on.

Having supported such diverse international talent as Z-Trip\, Q-Bert\, DJ Numark\, Stanton Warriors\, Shy FX\, Zion I\, South Rakkas Crew\, and much more\, they have attained a world wide cult following. Both seasoned crate diggers\, Wood 'n' Soo were raised in the age of vinyl LPs and 12" singles. The onset of the digital era has done nothing to diminish their hunger for fresh new sounds. While rocking the party remains first priority\, the duo refuse to be pidgeon-holed into any particular genre or style of DJing. Hip hop\, Funk\, Disco & Reggae form the roots of their diverse sound\, while their sets branch out to include an array of styles from past to present. Many of today's digital jocks are content to please crowds with only the most tried & true chart toppers but Wood'n'Soo are relentless tastemakers\, mixing future classics and exclusive bangers into every set. Whether individually or as a team\, these two vets bring the ruckus where ever they go. http://www.woodnsoo.com/ **************************************************** ***VINNIE THE SQUID Vinnie the Squid busted into Vancouver’s DJ scene in 1995 with one goal in mind… Get Those Ass’ Shakin’!

Falling under the Cirque event Fridays\, FiveSixty really comes through by providing a collection of live aerialists\, jugglers and acrobatic performers for your visual delight. Something you wont find anywhere else in the city! _____________________________________ Claude VonStroke | Bio Raised in Detroit and now based in San Francisco\, Claude VonStroke has become one of the most well respected label owners and DJs in dance music. His first release\, ‘Deep Throat’ was a hit putting his imprint on the decks of DJs around the globe. Following up with his real breakthrough\, came the double-header ‘The Whistler/Who’s Afraid of Detroit?.’ The 12” cemented Claude’s reputation as a producer to be reckoned with\, now known as one of the classic dance tracks of the decade. VonStrokes second album “Bird Brain”\, included a collaboration with the legendary P-Funk bassist Bootsy Collins. Main tracks\, “Beat That Bird” and euphoric ‘Vocal Chords’ both which went to number #1 & #2 on Beatport respectively. His core label\, dirtybird\, features an enigmatic combination of house\, funk\, dirty-bass and electronica. Since the creation of dirtybird\, Claude has continued to be the dedicated A&R man\, signing over 100 EPs and demonstrating his incredible ear for what works on the dance-floor. The label consists of Crenshaw (VonStroke\,) fellow producer Justin Martin\, and a diverse assortment of top remixers from around the globe such as John Tejada\, Audion\, Diplo\, 3 Channels\, Dj Assault\, and Kevin Saunderson. In 2007\, he set up a second label\, “mothership” with a slightly different focus (more euro-flavored techno and house). Apart from moving into different musical corners\, a substantial percentage of the label’s revenue is contributed to a children’s music school in Detroit. Herein lies VonStrokes enduring appeal as he straddles so many different genres with such ease. In this day and age of music cross-pollination\, he sits at the forefront of all that is good\, proper and most importantly moving people’s feet and ass. He’s just as at home remixing Kenny Larkin for Planet E as he is remixing DFA/indie dance stalwarts The Rapture. His relentless touring of every major city\, festival and basement after-party around the world has only enriched this unique perspective on popular music. Justin Martin | Bio Justin found much respect in 2003 with his first record ‘The Sad Piano’ on Ben Watt’s Buzzin’ Fly label. The release gained recognition from the A list DJs like Derrick Carter and Pete Tong that were playing the track\, and the international music press alike. Justin’s sound has been described as ‘melodic and tough’ with his music encapsulating both melody and emotional depth yet always with enough undeniable ass shaking properties to translate to the floor. He remains as enthusiastic as ever to be involved in the scene. Through Justins success\, he landed himself on the cover of DJ Magazine. Feeding off the energy of the San Francisco underground and mentored by fellow super producer Claude VonStroke\, Justin was intrinsically involved with the development of dirtybird records\, appearing on its first four releases. Justin Martin’s unique sound has garnered constant respect among fellow DJS and heavyweight’s of the scene. As well as his formidable arsenal of original productions\, Justin is now equally known for his collaborations with his brother Christian as The Martin Brothers. 2011 found Justin in the perfect position to work on his boldest project to date\, his debut artist album and he couldn’t be more enthusiastically happy with the results. “Ghettos & Gardens” long player will be released on dirtybird late spring 2012\, with a string of stunning singles to support the release. Demand for Justin’s skills behind the decks has skyrocketed with his bookings schedule constantly crammed to capacity. With dates everywhere from Panorama Bar (Berlin)\, Fabric (London)\, Space (Ibiza) and a full album tour for summer and fall 2o12. Stateside he continues to be a regular fixture at the dirtybird events in San Francisco and beyond. @ FiveSixty : 560 Seymour Street : www.fivesixty.ca _____________________________________ Doors at 10pm | Must be 19+ to attend _____________________________________ Early Bird tickets available online at: www.ticketzone.com/intimate www.wantickets.com/hatchedtourvancity Also available soon in stores at: BeatStreet Records [439 Hastings] : (604.683.3344) Puff Red Cat Records [4332 Main St] : (604) 708-9422 Zulu Records [1972 W 4th Ave] : (604.738.3232) You may also email info@intimateproductions.com for group tickets (4 or more) and table reservations.

Shane Koyczan and the Short Story Long Doors: 7:00 Show: 8:00 After the Vancouver 2010 Olympics\, Shane Koyczan became a household name. Many Canadians were moved by his homage to Canada\, “We Are More”. He has written two books\, with a third on t...he way\, and has won numerous awards. His first published book\, Visiting Hours\, was the only poetry book picked by both the Globe and the Guardian for their “Best Books of the Year” lists in 2005. People from all over the world praise his “raw poems about love\, sex and cancer” and believe that “Shane is a real star … Undoubtedly the best poet we've had in a long\, long time”. Now the award winning poet has taken on a new genre of spoken word. The Short Story Long is a Talk Rock group that is turning heads in the Canadian independent music scene. The instrumentalists compliment Shane’s performance poetry with original music. Koyczan and the group have created a genre all their own. They’ve won “Best New Artist” at the BC Interior Music Awards in 2009\, and have received standing ovations at festivals\, theatres\, and cafes across Canada. The Short Story Long is made up of Shane Koyczan\, Maiya Robbie on vocals and guitar\, Olivia Mennell on keyboards and vocals\, Jesse Lee on stand-up bass\, and Jordie Robinson on cello. Shane Koyczan and The Short Story Long will be entertaining Vancouver on April 21\, at the Vogue Theatre.

Turntablist and Grand Masters selecting the freshest jams. M.C's rocked the mic right.The classic tracks from the golden era of Hip Hop rung in your ears every weekend. The true heads dressed the part ...with Kangol hats and Gazelles rockin a crisp pair of Clarks for the first time. B- boys and B-girls workin on their Up-rocks sportin fresh track suits and shell toes! Remember how it was "Back in the Day"? We do!! Homebreakin Records Presents Back in the Day An old school hip hop jam featuring Spiltmilk B-day Set!!!!! The Grand-Pappio of Western Canada’s house and breaks scene\, Spilt Milk has been liquefying minds and demolishing dancefloors since many of us were a glimmer in our mama’s eyes. His turntable wizardry and warbly weirdness were spawned in Edmonton’s early 90’s underground\, infecting earholes all over the city via Edmonton’s favorite radio show “Catch the Beat” on CJSR. Spilt Milk quickly became a mainstay in Edmonton-Calgary rave scene\, throwing raucous parties\, promoting his regular club nights\, and continually producing mixtapes that eager fans still treasure today. For many years he was a familiar face working the counter at Edmonton’s best record shop\, Foosh\, telling you what’s what and delivering all the sweetest jams to your record bag. Spilt Milk toured Western Canada extensively throughout the mid-90s and 2000s playing hundreds of raves – you might even recall dancing uncontrollably to his DJ sets through your Vapo-rubbed haze. Influenced by a variety of hedonistic hobbies Spilt Milk eventually decided to answer the call of the wild-inookshooks and moved to Vancouver in 2002\, continuing to play parties and hold residencies all over the city\, and beyond. He raised many a raver on his brand of funk/breaks/hip hop/house. As far as Grand-Pappios go\, this vinyl junkie represents\, lugging his XL record bag from show to show and maintaining only the freshest of wax. Legit. In 2008 he officially joined the ranks of the Homebreakin’ Records crew – the posse of virtuoso disco/boogie breaks bad boys and infamous party kings. Always and motivated by Homebreakin’ creativity\, Spilt Milk has constantly been dabbling with synths and producing new sounds – check out his most recent release “Get With This” with Neighbour on Homebreakin’ Records. Also\, watch out for ‘Load More Booty’\, produced with Neighbour out now on Rat Records! http://soundcloud.com/djspiltmilk Sagewondah Since 2003\, Sagewondah goes on his decks like there was no tomorrow! His goal is to make people discover new music as well as contaminate his audience with pure raging energy! Playing a wide variety palette of music\, Sagewondah can play in all sorts of jam. He is part of the well established Montreal dj crew The French Connection djs and The Crew Tones. Since 2009\, he multiplies appearances in Foreign Countries such as the United states\, Japan and Cuba playing in different festivals such as: Francofolies de Montréal\, Shambhala\, Meeting Of Styles Mtl\, Can You Rock\, Under Pressure\, Bromont's Nuit Blanche\, Crank Worx and Vancouver's 2010 Olympics.

Taking international audiences on a journey that could be described as spacey\, funky\, political\, psychedlic and high energy. You can find him touring with fellow Spaceman/DJ/Producer Neighbour as Neighbour & Think Tank or as one part of the new band Red Light Quadrant. He’s been featured on a bunch of releases in 2009 and 2010\, including “Slingshot Boogie” (Funkweapons)\, “Drunk on the Funk” (Super Hifi)\, “Hustlers Convention” (GeniuSkills)\, and the “Speaker Humpin Remix” (Muti Music) to name a few.

PENDULUM (DJ Set) http://www.pendulum.com/ http://www.facebook.com/pendulum ... w/ VARIEN (Big Beat) http://www.facebook.com/VarienOfficial + SHAHdjs http://shahdjs.com/ SUNDAY/APRIL 29th at VENUE NIGHTCLUB 881 Granville St. Tickets on-sale NOW at Blueprintevents.ca: http://blueprintevents.ca/events/50133/615/PENDULUM-%28DJ-Set%29-+-VARIEN----BLUEPRINT-+-SHAHDJs-Venue-Nightclub.html PENDULUM: Pendulum formed in their home-town of Perth (Western Australia) in 2002\, when producers Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen teamed up with acclaimed local DJ Paul 'Elhornet' Harding. While their individual formative roots ranged from producing drum & bass\, breakbeat and hardcore\, to playing in metal and punk bands\, their comparable talents proved an unstoppable force when they managed to single-handedly conquer the world of drum & bass in their first 12 months together. "We want our music to be an escape. While technology continues to constantly advance production techniques and (arguably) sound quality\, something has been lost in the process - that original sense of self-escape\, the idea of leaving yourself open to experience something you don't necessarily find in every-day life. That was the energy we picked up on and liked about electronic music when we first got into it. It felt like the same energy found with bands like Led Zeppelin and even The Beatles\, and still occasionally today with bands like Tool\, The Mars Volta\, Queens Of The Stone Age and others. To us\, it made perfect sense to combine the best of both worlds\, but it had to be done in a way that didn't make it sound obvious. In the last 10 years you've had all these bands that tried to cross the bridge by recruiting a turntablist / using a synthesizer on their new single\, or electronic artists who just threw an obvious guitar sample into a tune...but eventually it just came across as a gimmick or a bit cheesy. We thought we'd try and do it properly\, because to us it still hasn't been done right and theres a lot of room for exploration. If you turn on the radio today you'll hear 20 tracks in a row describing someone's every-day life\, or songs with a one-line catchphrase chorus about shaking your ass in the club - the production is usually great but when you look deeper\, there's nothing behind it...it doesn't offer you anything past its face value. We want to hear something different and exciting\, but the material we want to hear isn't getting made. Thats why we spend nearly every waking moment trying to create music that takes you out of this universe - for ourselves and anyone else who wants to listen." VARIEN: With a genuine love of combining unconventional instruments in a conventional setting\, it is no wonder that Varien (Nick Pittsinger\, 21) has everyone talking about him. His work has garnered the attention of many\, landing a spot on Skrillex's "Bangerang EP" and getting over 250\,000+ YouTube views with his originals. His musical style has been described as John Williams or Danny Elfman meets electronic dance music\, combining instruments like hang drums\, choirs\, electric guitars\, sitars and cellos into his bass-heavy\, filthy productions. The result is something entirely original - organic\, musical and cinematic melodies and atmospheres that seemlessly blend into a whirlwind of filthy bass noises. With his knowledge of music theory and background as a video game music composer\, Varien hopes to continue to push the boundaries of electronic music\, and make something to call completely his own. His track "Mirrors" smashed the top 10 dubstep chart on Beatport in under two days\, something rarely seen! Varien's future is already set to take him past the limit and into new territory\, doing official remixes for people like Gareth Emery and Mt Edemi\, continuing to release tracks on Monstercat and Beatport\, and touring across the world. http://www.blueprintevents.ca/ http://www.shahdjs.com/ MAKE SURE to Become a fan of Blueprint Events: http://www.facebook.com/blueprintevents Follow Blueprint Events on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/blueprintevents LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/pendulum-dj-set-w-varien/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120428 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120429 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120320T001214 LAST-MODIFIED:20120320T001214 UID:3200@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Bass Baby DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate and raise funds for Lighta's newest little member!!!

He composes a dense transnational bass music that collides the lowest frequencies of dubstep with the highest-level beat science\, acoustic strings\, voices\, and lofi street noises. The results are “Awesome and delicate… hybrids so fluent they defy classification.” -Pitchfork Filastine’s debut record\, Burn It\, was released by DJ Rupture in 2006 to much critical acclaim: “Filled with both jagged edges and moments of sad sweetness... Burn It is sure to win fans across multiple scenes”- XLR8R. The album ricocheted around the world\, licensed and re-released by labels in France\, Japan\, and the US. The follow-up album\, Dirty Bomb\, dropped in 2009 through an alliance of labels led by French electro-dub imprint Jarring Effects. Prefix Mag called it “the prototype of globalized urban sound... It will devastate your subwoofer.” Performing up to a hundred concerts per year\, Filastine uses percussion to control loops and synchronized video from a heap of electronics wired to an amplified shopping cart. You may have seen him at a sweaty Tokyo nightclub\, a football stadium in Casablanca\, a respected euro-fest like Sónar\, in a parking lot in Borneo\, or touring the US with likes of Beats Antique (Commodore Ballroom\, Vancouver\, 2011) or Bassnectar. Before making electronic music Filastine played with the Infernal Noise Brigade\, a marching band he founded for the Battle of Seattle. He continues to use audio as a tool for political intervention with the Sound Swarm\, an orchestra of bikemounted megaphones conducted by pirate radio transmitters\, with recent actions in support of the Occupy Movement. He has also been associated with the CrimethInc. collective. Spring of 2012 Filastine delivers the LOOT\, his third full length work. LOOT was made in tandem with a grip of potent videos\, and launches with a year-long world tour with stops on every continent. The freshly re-tooled live set uses custom software to pull off some deep AV madness\, and sees Filastine expanding to tour as a duo to Vancouver\, joined onstage by one of the collaborating cellists from the album. SKOOKUM SOUND SYSTEM+++ http://www.realskookum.com/ http://soundcloud.com/womp/skookum-bounce-new-mix Skookum Sound System has been active recently performing at W2 for the the inaugural Vancouver Indigenous Media Arts Festival\, W2 Lights NYE\, and Indigenous After Dark\, hosted by comedian\, Ryan McMahon and co-presented with FUSE\, The Talking Stick Festival\, and RPM.FM.

MANDAI (LIGHTA!)++++++++ http://www.soundcloud.com/mandai http://www.myspace.com/missmandai Mandai is a classic selectress of Jamaican sounds. Originally inspired by her travels in West Africa and then the underground Dancehall scene in Vancouver\, she is proud to represent as Lighta! Sound.

Last year he shared the stage with West Coast names like Bird of Prey\, The Librarian\, Naasko and Mazeguider. Proud to be a part of the underground culture in Vancouver\, his mixes move from the deep dark vibrations of dubstep to minimal drum & bass with finesse. Aside from just being a party scene\, Commoddity feels there is a real strength in the community in Vancouver. The potential exists to utilize the energy and creativity generated on the dance floor and the surrounding events for the purposes of social change on a local level. This potential\, along with a genuine love of interesting beats and deep basslines\, is part of what makes Pascal excited to be a part of the community in Vancouver. Commoddity has been working to spread awareness about and opposition to the Enbridge pipeline since he learned about it. He's played Earthdance at W2 in 2011 and is playing a benefit show for the Ancient Forest Alliance in Victoria on March 24.

As a member of the SHAHdjs\, Vancouver's most established Drum and Bass crew\, he has performed at some of this citys mos...t memorable bass shows in the last few years. Equally at ease performing for a large party as he is for an intimate crowd\, his mixes are fluid and dynamic\, often reflective\, always intelligent. BIO: An uncompromising intellectual with a virile artistic spirit\, Kir Mokum focuses on introducing his audience to music they didn't even realize they wanted to hear. In classic rōnin style\, this man is unfettered by the categorical thinking of the d'n'b shogunate. His chosen path is to shed light on the depth and breadth of the music he represents. As a result\, he is held in high esteem by jazz musicians\, house enthusiasts\, and headz alike. His deep\, concept driven sets are intelligent and emotional. With smouldering intensity\, he unleashes forward thinking beats that don't forsake their roots. Currently\, Kir Mokum is a pivotal member and primary graphic designer of SHAHdjs\, Vancouver's most recognized d'n'b/bass music crew. He's opened for a range of heavy weights including club bangers Chase & Status and Kenny Ken\, and deep drum'n'bass legends Calibre\, LTJ Bukem\, Blu Mar Ten\, and High Contrast.

SHAHdjs is honestly proud to present the return of one of . our most acclaimed bookings from last year; BLACK SUN EMPIRE (Netherlands\, Obsessions) http://www.soundcloud.com/blacksunempire www.blacksunempire.com ... with opening sets by; Kir Mokum (SHAHdjs) Decibel Point (SHAHdjs) $15/20 tickets online now and in stores shortly online: http://tinyurl.com/7aufujr stores: Puff/Beatstreet/Highlife/Zulu doors at 9:45 youtube playlist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVeTOlk4A78&feature=bf_next&list=AL94UKMTqg-9Cq40CwAtPishAbSCM7FZ7-&lf=list_related Black Sun Empire represent the finest in dark and techy dancefloor drum & bass. Since bursting onto the scene back in 2000\, they’ve continued to develop their own unique style and sound\, releasing numerous singles as well as four full-length LPs and establishing themselves as leaders in the field. With their awesome DJ skills and inspirational productions\, Black Sun Empire have reached far beyond their native Holland. They’ve toured the world over\, with highlights this year including Glastonbury and numerous other festival appearances\, and continue to build on their growing reputation as some of the most exciting and consistent performers around. 'Lights and Wires' is their fourth LP\, released in November 2010\, and demonstrates their versatility across tempos whilst still staying true to their own sound. Borne of brothers Milan and Micha Heyboer along with René Verdult\, Black Sun Empire is a DJ/producer collective based in Utrecht\, The Netherlands. Since first making music together in 1993\, the trio experimented with various styles until they found their musical direction around 1997 and formed Black Sun Empire. Heavily influenced by releases from the darker labels such as No U Turn\, Prototype and Virus\, they took the techstep drum & bass blueprint and set out to make a new sound of their own. With a sound that was fresh\, new and progressive\, their early demos caught the ears of several well-established labels. Their debut release came courtesy of Rotterdam based label Piruh in 1999 with the tracks ‘Skin Deep’ and ‘Voltage’ and further release on Piruh and another Dutch imprint\, DJ Esta’s “A New Dawn\,” soon followed. It wasn’t long\, however\, before their technically proficient productions came to the attention of Trace\, the long-serving DJ and techstep pioneer\, and he invited Black Sun Empire to compose a remix for his label DSCi4. They took on the classic “Mutant Jazz\,” and provided a remix of truly devastating proportions that announced Black Sun Empire on the UK and indeed the world scene. Further release on DSCi4 came and were followed by remixes for SKC and Technical Itch before\, in 2002\, the boys decided to start a label of their own. Set up as an outlet for their increasing body of work\, Black Sun Empire Recordings became home for their own productions as well as collaborations with other like-minded artists. Their first album ‘Driving Insane’ was released in 2004 to critical acclaim and featured work with the collective talents of Concord Dawn and Stu from Cause 4 Concern alongside their own material. Deft\, dynamic\, devastating and deranged the album announced that the day of the Dutch was dawning. Supported by a mix CD\, it showcased their sound in style and coincided with a highly successful world tour\, taking in dates across the UK\, Europe\, USA and Australia. Motivated by the massive response they had received\, the boys followed up with their second long-player\, ‘Cruel and Unusual’\, in 2005. Raising the banner of the Black Sun Empire even higher than before\, the LP featured further collaborative work with yet more high-profile artists including Noisia\, Corrupt Souls and Kemal. Feeling the urge to satisfy other sides of their collective psyche\, a sister label was established in the form of “oBSEssions.” Designed to cater for atmospheric\, unusual and funky flavours\, this label is certainly no lightweight and proven itself as one to watch with releases from the likes of Chris SU\, Noisia and SKC so far alongside newer names. Never losing touch with their roots\, Black Sun Empire continue to promote their bi-monthly event ‘Blackout’ in their home town of Utrecht and are looking forward to it's seventh year aniversary in 2010. This well-established event has attracted some of the best in DJ talent from across the globe and regularly draws crowds of up to 1\,000 people. As resident DJs\, Black Sun Empire consistently captivate the crowds by mixing their freshest material together with live elements to bring an edge to their sets. Their most recent LP\, ‘Endangered Species\,’ drew together creative minds from across the drum & bass scene with input from Noisia\, Bad Robot\, Chris SU\, Jade\, State Of Mind\, D.Kay\, Optiv and Audio all featuring alongside BSE. The resulting tour was a resounding success worldwide with nearly 100 gigs and was soon followed by last year’s ‘My Lightyear LP’ Tour alongside Telemetrik\, to promote his debut album on BSE Recordings. In 2009\, BSE stayed on a roll with a whole raft of releases across their labels including collaborations with State Of Mind\, N.Phect and Eye-D and opened their dubstep label\, “Shadows of the Empire.” November 2010 brings the release of their fourth LP "Lights and Wires" and an accompanying world tour\, taking them to the USA\, Australia\, New Zealand and beyond. With more releases planned across their labels and more in store for their own night Blackout\, it's plain to see why they're widely regarded as one of the hardest working DJ/producer teams around. show starts at 10:05 LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/black-sun-empire/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120414 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120415 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120308T175740 LAST-MODIFIED:20120320T000229 UID:3145@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Elbowkickin/ATMA @ BSL DESCRIPTION:Long overdue\, we finally present Billy "Elbowkickin" Johnston with a proper 90 minute set at the Backstage lounge.

Combining his skill as an accomplished piano player with emotional synths\, apocalyptic bass drops and futuristic beat patterns that defy all genre expectations\, Gemini’s music is intense but always melodic\, aggressive yet somehow uplifting. Treading a delicate path through classical\, timeless composition and bass-bin rattling chaos\, it is hard to believe that the rest of the scene had failed to take advantage of the amazing fusion between light and dark that infuses Gemini’s music. The high production values and originality of the ‘Blue EP’ stunned dancefloors internationally\, and Gemini has already been headhunted to remix tracks by Deadmau5\, Nicole Scherzinger\, French-Soler\, Diddy\, Willow Smith\, Jamiroquai\, Kelis and Hadouken. Gemini’s dedication to production and an unshaking passion to breathe unique sounds and forms into dance music suggest a promising future for this young\, immensely talented artist. This Graduation EP on Inspected Records is definitely firing some of his most inspired\, monumental tracks yet; Gemini is on the cusp of supernova success. KOAN SOUND: It’s strange how the death of one musical group can be exactly the sort of catalyst needed to spawn another. KOAN Sound are certainly a highly gifted example of this phenomenon. It was in 2008 that KOAN Sound emerged from the ashes of several other musical endeavours\, fusing passion for electronic music with sheer musical intuition. Since then KOAN Sound have continued to develop\, synthesising ever more complex and inspirational patterns. And with influences such as The Prodigy\, Amon Tobin and Noisia\, it’s not hard to see why KOAN Sound productions are synonymous with dark gripping basslines; elegantly mastered and meticulously executed. Support is nothing but exponential for KOAN Sound. The group’s creative and above all original ethos has granted them well deserved credibility from producers\, DJ and Music fans alike. These include the likes of Aphex Twin\, Pendulum\, Zane Lowe and Rusko. Armed with a creative diversity second to none\, they have set themselves apart from their peers and continue to push music not restrained by tempo or genre\, all connected by their trademark ‘KOAN’ sound. Keep your ears to the ground: KOAN Sound have arrived. http://www.blueprintevents.ca/ http://www.seasonsfestival.com/ MAKE SURE to Become a fan of Blueprint Events: http://www.facebook.com/blueprintevents Follow Blueprint Events on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/blueprintevents LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/gemini-and-koan-sound/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120424 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120425 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120307T114846 LAST-MODIFIED:20120307T114846 UID:3135@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:DJ Shadow @ Commodore DESCRIPTION:DJ Shadow @ Commodore LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/dj-shadow-commodore/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120322 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120323 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120306T220319 LAST-MODIFIED:20120306T220319 UID:3132@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Subdivide @Tunnel DESCRIPTION:Noize_Pollution PRESENTS: subdivide dubstep MASSACRE 2 Its that time again.. come get grimmmey at Tunnel Nightclub ...

In early 2011 they combined Lucas' roots in drum 'n' bass and jungle\, mixed with Jordan's fidgety\, bass driven electro sound\, and both's infatuation with dubstep and drumstep with very heavy results. Lucas & Jordan have an idea when it comes to music: "We don't like to make tracks\, we try to make songs". Drawing inspiration from everywhere imaginable\, from heavy metal to Britney Spears. Taking the best and leaving the rest\, this is the philosophy behind their music. They're a mess of old school and Nuskool\, never predictable and always distinct. Well known for their live sets and energy behind the decks\, neither one of these guys is a stranger to the main stage. Having played along side guys like Downlink\, DJ Craze\, Capital J\, and too many more to reasonbly list\, there can be no doubt Subdivide is certified dance floor mayhem. The beginning of 2011 saw the birth of Subdivide and a slew of free tracks\, their debut release "Extortion" hit Beatport while the year 2012 was still only a day old. And they're just getting started...

Long time Party go'er to full-time Party Rocker. MrMacHimself has been making a fair bit of NOISE in the West coast club and Rave Scene since 2010. With headlining slots in cities around Vancouver Island and the lower Mainland- its not going to stop there. Landing a residency on Analog Airwaves on Di.fm/electro\, MrMacHimself has had his sound played along side many of the innovative EDM producers of the last decade. Alex Mind\, Jay Robinson\, Alex Speaker\, Bassive\, Defunct!\, Atomic Drop\, Fredrick Mooji\, COOL PROJECT - the list will continue to grow. Tune in on the first Thursday of every month for a new and fresh Bangin' set.

MrMacHimself is stoked to the chance to funk it up for a night on the Drive and leave you swimming in funky basslines all night long! ************************************************************************* The Gudz aka Mark Gudz\, started out banging out tracks for his friends at house parties and soon became a favorite\, much requested man to get on the decks at the private parties he frequented. His energy and smile are contagious and will have everyone in the crowd shakin'\, thumpin' and laughin' along with him. Landing the early time slot at the Funkhunter's recent REGROOVED feat PARKER | HIDDEN RIDDIM | VESPERS | & Special Guests didn't stop the Gudz from creating one of the most fun (and rowdy!) early dance parties people had seen in a while. April 5th at the Libra will be no exception. Get ready to dance because once the Gudz steps up\, that funk will want to work its way out of you on to the dancefloor.. ************************************************************************* Pronoia aka Dustin Pronoia\, born in the great city of Vancouver and flown away to the vast cold. Living north at a young age\, Pronoia honed his music skills first on the guitar and bass learning from friends and trying to make a band like every teenage guitar player dreamed of. After working along the Arctic ocean fueling the equipment that smashed the earth and stole its treasures\, he was thrown back to the Pacific to realize the noises he was hearing at work could were being reproduced in song. His love of Dub-step and heavy bass music was born. He completed a year certificate in audio engineering and obtained work as a light tech in the downtown core. This was the catalyst to show this metal head that there was something more. After being exposed to a barrage of Dj's and artist \, be it through work or play the transformation had begun - and this small town boy had become a full fledged Bass Head. After attending constant shows the decision was made to attempt to rock the crowd in the fashion of his favorite artists. Pronoia is known to be the sweatiest man at the show be it his or yours. He tries to bring the energy when others stand with blank stares. He jumps into the crowd to dance when others check their email. A show with Pronoia is a show where you will walk away with some hooks in your ears and some sweat in your hair. ************************************************************************* The Venue: Normally known for its live Jazz and Blues nights\, The Libra Room is one of the hottest spots on the Drive with friendly staff\, amazing food and an excellent drink menu. pssst- This bar is also open the latest on Commercial !!! ************************************************************************* Limited Advance tickets are $5 and can soon be purchased from any of the above Djs or Claire Bear or April Anne.

The reality is anything but.." Pitchfork Media Sepalcure's combination of love for bass and 90s... house acapellas is the culmination of a cathartic two week collaboration between Machinedrum and Praveen.

FEATURED VISUAL ARTISTS; Taylor Kline + Phresha MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT PROVIDED BY: DJ DUBCONSCIOUS http://soundcloud.com/dubconscious http://dailydread.wordpress.com/ Dubconscious has come to represent both the east and the western coast of Canada. Born in Toronto & raised on the jungle & drum’n’bass sounds permeating the city in the late 90s & early 2000s\, he developed a taste for hard beats drenched in reggae vibes. 2004 brought a big move across the country to the city of Victoria\, which was nurturing a fledgling breaks & jungle scene – by the end of his first year of University\, he had bought his first set of Technics and the seed was planted. Bouncing back & forth between TO & Vic for the next 3 years of school presented plenty of chances to play to different music to new crowds\, adding reggae & dancehall to the repertoire\, as well dubstep – in its infancy at this point. After school the move was made back east\, joining up with the Dubslingers crew in Toronto – who are still holding down Canada’s longest running dubstep weekly\, Dubslingers Wednesdays at Thymeless. After having established a name for himself in Toronto’s competitive scene\, he headed west once more\, this time settling in Nelson\, BC. After spending two productive years in the area immersing himself in both the great outdoors & the underground party scene\, he's moved on further west to Vancouver\, where he continues to DJ all across the board - reggae\, dancehall\, bashment\, uk funky\, juke\, dubstep\, jungle\, hip hop & trip hop sets in clubs\, raves\, pubs\, lounges\, outdoor parties & Caribbean restaurants. He's also spending time locked down in the studio\, slowly getting his production game together.. Dubconscious has appeared in nearly every major city in Canada\, sharing the stage with the likes of The Roots\, Andy C\, Mixmaster Mike\, Shy FX & Skibadee\, Rusko\, Dillinja\, Plastician\, Mimosa\, DJ NuMark\, the Glitch Mob\, An-Ten-Nae\, Mat The Alien\, Antiserum\, Marcus Visionary\, ill.gates & Jacky Murda and has appeared at numerous music festivals including Shambhala\, Starbelly\, Loki\, Harvest Festival in Ontario & the Dragon Festival Granada\, Spain.

However\, he soon dropped the "e" from the word to balance the arrangement of letters when displayed in a graffiti style. After a school friend introduced Jon to the world of Drum & Bass he began experimenting with software to create his own music.

Much of his work was released through this label\, and soon Jon began DJing sets. He has also released work under the name 'Final Reckoning' with Codex\, as well as under the name 'Unicorn'. Spor has since then been traversing the globe playing his music at clubs across the world. After a successful partnership with Renegade Hardware and Barcode Recordings\, and releases with Teebee's Subtitles Recordings\, Spor and short-time friend Chris Renegade from Renegade Hardware launched Lifted Music with fellow dark Drum & Bass producers Apex\, Evol Intent and Ewun.

Her new album just landed Feb 14\, ‘The Ache’ released through PNW label\, Dropping Gems. Portland Mercury writes\, “Kmeto’s found a trance-ready spot that tugs at the sleeves of hip hop\, IDM\, and maybe even a tinge of goth\, with a singing voice that keeps the digital zeroes and ones imbued with flesh and blood.” Kmeto was born and raised in California\, playing and touring with bands of all genres since the age of 15. She completed the Keyboard Performance program at Musician’s Institute in Hollywood and soon thereafter relocated to Portland in 2007. The move helped rekindle Natasha’s creativity and passion for music which got lost in the bustle and industry of LA. Here\, Kmeto was able to explore and take inspiration from her biggest influences\, ranging from the cutting edge sounds of Flying Lotus to the classic soul hits of Carole King. 1am - Rhia Wellbellove http://www.myspace.com/djrhiawellbelove Homegirl Canadian Rhia Wellbelove has been expressing herself with various music languages since she started spinning records at the tender age of sixteen.

Influenced by her travels around the world Rhia always brings out a diverse brand of house music to the dance floor with elements of funk\, latin\, electro and funky corky tech house. Collaborating her creative influences and years of experience have allowed her to develop a vast amount of knowledge\, skill\, and technique\, which has allowed her to polish her craft to near perfection producing a unique blend of music guaranteeing an unforgettable set every time. 2am - Miss Myte http://soundcloud.com/miss-myte Since moving to Vancouver in the fall of 2004\, Lyndsy Brow\, a.k.a. Miss Myte\, has become a name synonymous with quality house and techno. While always staying true to her unique musical tastes\, and never catering to commercial demand\, Miss Myte has had the opportunity to open the stage for world renowned producers in some of the best venues and festivals BC has to offer. Her passion and commitment to searching high and low for new or unheard musical gems has set her apart and garnered the respect of her peers. Playing in clubs\, outdoor festivals\, and after-hour events over the last 9 years\, she has had the honor of sharing the stage with the likes of M.A.N.D.Y.

She has played alongside such artists as Plaid\, Venetian Snares\, Books on Tape\, FFF\, Cursor Miner\, and Captain Ahab\, and has received glowing reviews in Grooves and XLR8R magazines. Her work has been described as everything from IDM\, Acid\, Techno\, 8-bit\, Drum 'n Bass\, Glitch & Jungle\, as the sub-sub-sub genres continue to split further & further... leaning towards frantic & somewhat complex rhythms made with squelchy low-fi sounds\, making people smile while they dance. Her DJ sets are more four on the floor\, techno oriented- with the occasion IDM and Acid infusion. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The Utopia Conference and our entire March 3-10 program is here: http://www.creativetechnology.org/profiles/blogs/utopia-2nd-annual-festival-of-women-in-digital-culture Tune into conversations with UTOPIA Artists on the W2 Morning Radio Project broadcast on 102.7FM each weekday from 6-8am.

DAEGA SOUND [ Lighta! / DPR / Fathom Recordings / Mutek Records ] http://soundcloud.com/daegasound Born to composer and choreographer parents\, brothers Ben and Josh grew up surrounded by performances\, rehearsals\, festivals and symphonies. Being teenagers in the early 90's they progressed into experimental rock/indy bands while at the same time keeping up with the classical music commitments to their bands and symphonies. It was following their first visit to a techno show at an underground venue in Toronto 1997 that they realized what musical path they wanted to pursue. Starting first with DJi'ng and promotion they progressed into building their own studio. In 2006\, getting comfortable with the production end\, they brought about the formation of their production and performance project Daega Sound System. Producing all forms of electronic\, bass and dance music they perform as a Live duo and also a DJ duo. Laying a steady foundation with local performances at New Forms Festival\, Shambhala and Bass Coast they have gone on to perform at Mutek and Dubloaded in Bristol. As well as heading up their own newly minted record label Fathom Recordings. In addition to digital releases on UK Garage and 2-Step legend Noodles (Groove Chronicles) label DPR\, San Francisco's bass-centric Blipswitch and Noah Pred's techno/bass music label Thoughtless recordings they have 12" releases on out their own Fathom Recordings and Texas based label Formant Recordings. 2011 has seen releases on Mutek\, Blipswitch and Echo Dub\, with 2012 seeing releases slotted for DPR\, CarCrashSet\, Fathom and Crude Records. Sean-Michael Yoder from IBIZA VOICE offers this insight on Daega Sound - "There is a sense of depth and originality to be found without a sacrifice in the off-kilter rhythms and brute force that comprise the best the new form has to offer." .

MiM0SA [False Idol] http://www.tigran-mimosa.com/ http://www.facebook.com/mimosamusic -SANCTUARY TOUR- FRIDAY/MARCH 30th at CELEBRITIES NIGHTCLUB 1022 Davie St. 19+ w/ ID only Tickets available online at Blueprintevents.ca now: http://blueprintevents.ca/events/48355/614/MiM0SA----STEREOTYPE-Celebrities-Nightclub.html Blissfully unconcerned with a world obsessed with categorization as a means of definition\, MiM0SA crafts music for its own sake\, defying expectations with genre bending soundscapes. Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area and currently residing in Los Angeles\, MiM0SA began producing at the tender age of 17. Blessed with an abundance of talent and an ear for sonic experimentation\, this fan-favorite has quickly developed a name for himself as one of the West Coast’s top exports. And the word is spreading fast. In just a few short years he’s shared the stage with standard-bearers like Benga\, Skream\, Rusko\, Datsik\, Glitch Mob\, Pretty Lights\, Bassnectar and Flying Lotus. He’s also played festivals and shows across North America\, including Coachella\, Symbiosis Gathering\, Burning Man\, Decibel Festival\, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre. To say that MiM0SA is on the rise is to miss the mark. Rather\, MiM0SA has arrived. This past March found him headlining his first tour\, as he criss-crossed the U.S.\, selling out major venues like Higher Ground (Burlington\, VT)\, the Paradise (Boston\, MA)\, and the Gothic Theater (Denver\, CO). Not to mention stellar debut performances at legendary venues such as NYC’s Irving Plaza and The Fillmore in San Francisco. The words tireless and prolific don’t quite do MiM0SA justice. In one weekend he headlined Lightning in a Bottle\, blasted over to Summer Camp\, and finished off the weekend with a blistering performance Detroit Movement Fest. Ever ambitious and constantly in search of new avenues to explore\, MiM0SA recently formed his own record label: False Idol Musik. Thus far\, the results have been staggering. The tracks on 58 Degrees are rare and beautiful\, full spectrum sonic brushstrokes hovering in the ether. MiM0SA says\, “Music is a healing process\, you can find a resolution to your problems through melody.” One listen to 58 Degrees will make you a believer. At present\, MiM0SA is busy in the studio working on new music for a full-release. “I’m steering away from aggressive tones\, but at the same time trying to find different avenues to get the same crowd response that a big bass drop would get.” And while the outcome of the work is yet to be determined\, it’s clear that his versatility as an artist goes hand in hand with his refusal to be tied down by any particular sound or style. Speaking of variety\, of late he’s been spending quite a bit of time in the lab with Sleepyhead\, working on new tracks for their highly anticipated collaboration\, “Naked Poetry\,” which they will release under the moniker Sexytime. We’ll say it again\, because it bears repeating\, MiM0Sa has arrived. http://www.blueprintevents.ca/ MAKE SURE to Become a fan of Blueprint Events: http://www.facebook.com/blueprintevents Follow Blueprint Events on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/blueprintevents LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/mimosa/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120421 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120422 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120219T165754 LAST-MODIFIED:20120219T165754 UID:3023@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Bastet @Astoria DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY APRIL 21 @ THE ASTORIA BAR BASTET (Nelson) http://soundcloud.com/bastet http://www.facebook.com/bastetbreaks?ref=ts&sk=info MICHAEL RED (Lighta!/Low Indigo) http://soundcloud.com/michaelred APPLICATION (Application Audio/IGU) http://soundcloud.com/application SELF EVIDENT (Lighta!/Palms Out) http://soundcloud.com/self_evident DAKTUR (Sunday Sessions) http://soundcloud.com/daktur $6 BEFORE 10PM.

A local favorite since the mid nineties...DVS1 continues to move dancefloors with a combination of deep musical knowledge\, unparallelled enthusiasm\, and a vinyl collection of more than 10\,000 records. Zak's deep roots and his bold and uncompromising nature have won him great respect as a passionate defender and promoter (HUSH) of quality music. Zak began DJing in New York in the early nineties\, focusing on the acid sounds of that time. After relocating to Minneapolis in the mid 90's his style evolved\, like that of techno itself\, into something more complex\, something deeper and more rhythmic. Today DVS1's schedule takes him across planet earth. We are very very happy to have him stop in our corner again! Some of Vancouver finest underground DJ's rounding out the rest of the amazing night- Scott W.\, TJ Hooker\, and MITIM.

FRANCIS HARRIS aka Adultnapper // Scissor & Thread // Pokerflat // Brooklyn NYC _______________ ... http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/adultnapper www.scissorandthread.com _______________ Equally accomplished as a DJ\, producer and composer\, Francis Harris has emerged as one of North America's premiere underground electronic music talents. His discography counts over 40 EPs and remixes for respected labels like Poker Flat\, Mule\, Simple\, Nummer\, Clink and his own boutique imprint Ransom Note. Dark yet moving\, his introspective solo excursions as Adultnapper continually challenge convention\, earning him a loyal following amongst elite tastemak- ers in the global dance music underground. When teamed with Mr. C of The Shamen as Syco- phant Slags\, the mischievous streak behind the foreboding Adultnapper persona is revealed. The duo have released a string of punchy dance anthems\, including the Poker Flat hit single and video "Keep Off" and a forthcoming EP for Get Physical. A spate of studio collaborations in 2010 yielded already released Adultnapper EPs featuring vocalist Big Bully for Culprit and Simple\, a forthcoming project co-produced with M.A.N.D.Y. and "No Cliché\," a single recorded with Beirut band member Jason Poranski (vocals) and No Regular Play's Greg Paulus (trumpet). The most ambitious and highly anticipated of these projects is without question the full length debut by Adultnapper. Titled "Leland\," in tribute to his father\, the album is an emotion-laden requiem featuring piano\, guitar\, cello\, trumpet and vocals. It is to be released in February on a new indie- oriented label called Scissor and Thread. _______________________________ TJ Hooker // Subervsive Oliver Nickels // RHOMBUS Stefan Z // RHOMBUS - One of the best rooms in Vancouver - - Large premium sound and lighting install from Application Audio - - Full Visual Rig - _______________________________ W2 Basement // 111 Hasting St // Vancouver Doors 10pm-Late 19+ _______________________________ Tickets // $15 Pre // $20 Door Available @ Beatstreet // Zulu // Redcat Records // W2 // Online @ eventbrite.ca Ticket Link - http://francisharrisatw2-esearch.eventbrite.ca/ _______________________________ www.soundcloud.com/rhombuslabel www.twitter.com/rhombuslabel www.youtube.com/rhombuslabel LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/adultnapper-francis-harris/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120317 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120318 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120211T142906 LAST-MODIFIED:20120211T142906 UID:2982@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:St Phat Licks Day DESCRIPTION:Futuristic Fundamentals proudly presents another edition of the New School Renaissance........

Repetition\, both rhythmic and melodic\, became pleasureable\, and systems of musical understanding developed... independently across the globe. Seeking to express our ability to internalize these patterns\, we devised specific routines that were then transmitted and mutated through cultures by way of various public and private dance rituals. Without being fully cognizant of our natural talent for mimicry\, we nonetheless found ourselves part of an intergenerational\, non-verbal dialog. Join us for a night of kinetic conversation and be reminded of your eloquent bodies by... Scott W : Coastal tastemaker\, avid crate-diver\, and splendid frisbee tosser\, Scott W serves as a good-natured link between Vancouver's discerning house scene of the late 90s / 2000s\, and the present environment of inter-disciplinary diversity. For the 'golden era'-seeking 30-somethings that stayed on the West Coast festival circuit these past few years\, Scott always represented a level of quality\, confidence\, and track knowledge that earned him rabid fans and the repuation for playing must-see sets. As a new generation of intellectually-minded house lovers discover the rich history of the music\, Scott's tendency to look deeper into classic house and techno is a rare and laudable characteristic. ALL VINYL SET. Hxdb : The trajectory of modern bass music has been a fascinating study in genre splintering and diverging tastes. In a few short years\, we've heard the invasion of cutting-edge low-end sound design into all electronic genres\, for better or for worse. In the best cases\, such as Vancouver's very own HXDB\, the technology serves the music\, allowing a visionary producer to realize a unique\, deep\, and eminently danceable style. His memorable DJ sets are replete with his own music; a delicious middle ground between broken-beat / worldbeat-influenced drum programming\, future-house production techniques\, and techno sensibilities. Expect a delicate balance of musical elements and percussive madness\, and keep an eye out for his releases upcoming on Vancouver's 10Pin recordings and Palms Out\, to name a few. www.soundcloud.com/hexadecibel Hosted by MC THINKTANK http://soundcloud.com/thinktank-1 ALSO FEATURING HOMEBREAKIN ARTISTS NEIGHBOUR soundcloud.com/neighbour-homebreakin WOODHEAD soundcloud.com/woodhead SPILTMILK http://soundcloud.com/djspiltmilk BLENDA VS MEMMIO LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/body-language-2-homebreakin/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120221 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120222 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120206T121030 LAST-MODIFIED:20120206T121030 UID:2960@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Automatic 13 year DESCRIPTION:Tuesday Feb 21st Familia is proud to present AUTOMATIC's 13th Anniversary party ...

FOREIGN BEGGARS (U.K.) [Dented/Never Say Die] http://www.foreignbeggars.com/ ... http://www.facebook.com/Foreignbeggars MONDAY MARCH 26TH at VENUE NIGHTCLUB 881 Granville St. Doors 9-3am Tickets on-sale NOW at Blueprintevents.ca: http://www.blueprintevents.ca/events/46445/615/Foreign-Beggars-Venue-Nightclub.html Foreign Beggars are a critically acclaimed Rap\, Grime and Dubstep group based in London\, UK. The group consists of MCs Orifice Vulgatron and Metropolis\, producer Dag Nabbit and DJ Nonames. Foreign Beggars are renowned for their eclectic and energetic live shows. Currently performing well over a hundred shows a year the group have performed with a number of high profile artists spanning a range of musical genres. Foreign Beggars first three album releases were through Dented Records; a label that is owned by the group and was created to support their own material and a host of UK underground artists. Today the group line up on stage as Orifice Vulgatron\, Metropolis and DJ Nonames often with UK Beatbox Champion MC Zani or THePETEBOX. Guest appearances from long time collaborators of the group and Dented recording artists Kyza and Dr Syntax have also become a regular occurrence. Having successfully changed the face of\, UK hip hop in the last decade\, Foreign Beggars’ recent output has been a genre-defying blend of their former machinations and speaker-busting\, dancefloor rumbling dance music produced by the hottest artists around. 2009’s ‘Contact’ (3\,000\,000 views on YouTube)\, taken from their third album\, saw them combine furious London-fuelled flows with Noisia’s crunching electro backbone - the start of what has become Foreign Beggars’ new obsession; fusing hip hop with dance music. Since then Foreign Beggars have delivered a succession of incredible collaborations\, while each release seems to bring greater success and critical acclaim; the incredible ‘Beggatron Remixed’ album which featured reworkings and originally produced tracks from Plastician\, Bar9\, Chasing Shadows\, Noisia and more\, the Beatport chart topping ‘Scatta’ with Skrillex\, the anthem that is ‘Lines In Wax’ with Flux Pavilion and the recent team up with Vato Gonzalez ‘Badman Riddim’ out on Ministry Of Sound seeing Foreign Beggars finally cross over to the mainstream. This year sees the Beggars releasing ‘The Harder They Fall’ EP\, the first in a three part series on Never Say Die Records\, produced by some of the most in-demand artists on the planet. Featuring six Foreign Beggars collaborations with Alix Perez\, Mensah\, Lazer Sword\, Medison\, Ruckspin\, Black Sun Empire and Skrillex\, their debut Never Say Die EP hits the 140bpm tempo straight between the eyes\, offering a range of styles and flavours that could loosely be described as dubstep\, without the superfluous connotations that the mere name of the genre now evokes. http://www.blueprintevents.ca/ http://www.shahdjs.com/ MAKE SURE to Become a fan of Blueprint Events: http://www.facebook.com/blueprintevents Become a fan of SHAHdjs: http://www.facebook.com/SHAHdjs Follow Blueprint Events on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/blueprintevents LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/foreign-beggars/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120505 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120506 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120202T113834 LAST-MODIFIED:20120202T113834 UID:2935@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Cedaa The Librarian Calamalka Bevvy Swift Self Evident Max Ulis Tank Gyal DESCRIPTION:If you attended the last event we held at Open Studios you will know this is not to be missed. tickets 20 bucks at the door only\, yes I said door only\, get there early\, stay late.

Built on a foundation of instrumental hip hop\, their music seamlessly incorporates elements of sampling\, a tight low end and catchy synth lines\, with a strong beat always at the cornerstone. On stage\, audiences are treated to the addition of Colby Buckler\, regarded as one of the strongest drummers in the live electronic music scene today. This energetic trio continues to bring exciting new performances to crowds across the country as their sound naturally evolves. NIT GRIT: The dubstep electronic genre has emerged as a force in the United States\, and no one embodies its momentum more than San Jose based artist NiT GriT. One of the most prolific and hardworking of the new field of dubstep/grime performers\, his current music was formed in his home turf of the Bay area from a background in glitch\, idm\, and breakcore\, and is set apart by its soulfulness and melody. True to the trend towards dramatic entrances in so many of the new fraternity of sensational dubstep artists\, NiT GriT burst on the scene with his first show in March 2010 in a co-billing with Excision.

In November of 2011\, Randy was reported missing in Vancouver’s downtown eastside 24 hours after leaving an upscale restaurant in China Town. Immediately his friends and fans jumped into action\, initiating tens of thousands of people in a social media campaign as well as hundreds pounding the streets with posters. Randy was a well-respected member of Vancouver’s independent music scene and press on Randy’s disappearance was soon across the nation. Three short days later\, however\, the hopes of thousands turned to sorrow when the news spread of Randy’s passing. The outpouring of condolence and support reverberated from around the world in the wake of this tragedy for Randy left behind a legacy of humanitarianism\, love and support to all those people who knew him. Prior to moving to Vancouver\, he opened a birthing clinic in the Phillipines\, worked with children in Mexico and most recently with humanitarian efforts in Kenya. Locally\, his small acts of kindness didn’t go unnoticed -- doing benefit shows for Bavubuka Foundation\, the Japan Tsunami effort\, raising money for Downtown Eastside causes or just making sandwiches for those in need. He supported his musical friends in their projects\, producing\, writing and collaborating with many local musicians. In the midst of all this\, he was recording his new album\, receiving top honours at Shore FM’s 2011 Song Search\, performing several shows a month\, even busking on the streets of Vancouver. Last summer\, with his star on the rise\, he opened for Ziggy Marley at the Vogue Theatre and Ky-Mani Marley at the Commodore Ballroom. Randy may have been a man of many pursuits\, but he always put his family first. All of his friends knew that the purpose for his success was to provide for his children\, Shae\, Jalen and Kairah. He always put his kids first - they were the light and the love in his life. He was a good father\, a good friend and a good man and this benefit concert is dedicated to raising as much money as we can for the family he left behind. **SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR EVENT SPONSORS** Shore FM\, Nimbus Recording School\, Chronic Taco\, Kingston Pub\, Wave Productions\, MacinHome\, Rosedale on Robson\, Print Print\, Barbarella\, Rethink\, Timebomb Trading\, Rosie's on Robson\, RDM Photography\, Digital Media Alliance\, Turtle Recording\, Smell This!\, EchoCloud\, We3\, BoldLove Communications\, Twigg & Hottie\, El Kartel \, Soundhouse Rehearsal Studio\, Milano Boutique Coffee Roasters\, One Yoga for the People\, Kevin Tools \, Vers's Burger Shack\, Calabash\, Aveda\, Tawni Krystal Body Painting\, Beat Street\, Tenzo Collaboration\, Crossfit Kitsilano\, Pillars of Health\, Fairmont Pacific Rim\, Komasket Music Festival\, Mount Seymour\, Surya Devi\, Kim Prints\, Promised land Studio LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/for-the-people-randy-ponzio-benefit/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120214 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120215 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120202T105137 LAST-MODIFIED:20120202T105137 UID:2917@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:VCBC @ Republic DESCRIPTION:Republic Nightclub presents Vancity Bass Collective Monthly Room 2 of Republic Nightclub Drum & Bass + Dubstep ...

His live show is focused on a high quality translation of sound that is simultaneously sexy and psychedelic. http://www.randomrab.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ GOVINDA (Austin\, Texas): Govinda is the alter-ego of Austin\, Texas based producer/composer Shane Madden. He began studying violin and composition at the age of eight and went on to study classical violin at the University of Texas where he fell in love with electronic music production. It was in Madden’s pursuit of his gypsy roots that he opened his ears to music from around the world. From experiences learning violin with mysterious masters on his journeys across the globe and his passion for modern design and technology\, the current sound of Govinda was born. His latest CD 'Universal On Switch' appeared on many top 10 lists in 2011 and his work has been featured on over 25 compilations including on the Buddha Bar series. His live experience is full of vibrant energy that plays to its crowd. Govinda performs on Ableton Live and plays classical violin. http://www.govindamusic.com/ -------------------------------------------------------- Also performing on this night will be BREAKDRUM!

Friday March 9th At Club 560 ... Main room ★ Crissy Criss ★ DJ SS ★ MC Warren G ★ Greenlaw ★ • CRISSY CRISS • Technique Recordings | MixnBlen Recordings | V Recordings | Sludge Records | UK The youngest DJ/Presenter at present to broadcast on BBC Radio 1Xtra. Introduced to a set of decks aged 5 by his step-dad Kenny Ken\, he then started to teach himself to mix aged 9. The following year\, Crissy covered for Kenny Ken at a festival in Essex to play after Mickey Finn (brother of Johnny Cage). At age 11 he joined drum & bass pirate station Kool FM and played his first club set at The End in London thanks to DJ Zinc who requested Crissy to play. Crissy has played at major drum & bass nights across the UK and elsewhere such as New York\, Toronto\, Norway\, Switzerland\, France\, Germany and more. Crissy started production work from the age of 12 making music on a gaming console then moved up to much larger programmers and hardware equipment. He released his first track on Back2Basics recordings in 2004. Since then Crissy has signed to Back2Basics Records and Mix n Blen Records and also have forthcoming releases for Twisted Individuals labels Grid and Zombie and also Kenny Ken & Maces PlanetFunk label. https://www.facebook.com/crissycriss • DJ SS • Formation Records Ltd | UK DJ SS played an important role in the early-'90s development of drum'n'bass\, releasing a number of formative tracks beginning in 1990 on his co-owned Formation label before returning in the mid-'90s with a plethora of productions after a brief sabbatical. Born Leroy Small in Leicester\, England\, SS's involvement in the drum'n'bass scene predates its development\, back in the days of hardcore. In the early '90s when hardcore began to morph into what would become known as drum'n'bass\, he released a series of influential tracks on Formation\, including "Breakbeat Pressure\," one of the style's early classics. However\, once drum'n'bass traded its hardcore roots for a more ragga-inflected sound around 1993\, SS retired from production\, not being interested in the ragga sound. He focused his efforts during this period on other labels that he ran. He returned to drum'n'bass a few years later\, though\, in a big way. Throughout the late '90s he released several records on different labels under a number of monikers (Keen\, Tekniq)\, becoming one of the more recognized producers in the U.K. drum'n'bass scene http://www.myspace.com/djayss • Featuring Lyrical Assistance from MC Warren G • • GREENLAW • Formation Records UK | Victoria BC Skyla and Ozzie share a belief in a higher power\, and infuse their music with a strong sense of personal spirituality. Much of their original work\, created over 13 years\, is dedicated to the strength of the human spirit. Always seeking to push the boundaries of their unique musical style\, they have embarked on a side project called SKYlab Sounds to experiment with Beats Bass\, their true musical passion\, and Voice. Their ultimate goal as musicians is to inspire\, and uplift\, their audiences. http://www.greenlawmusic.com/ :::::Opening: djbrukout phroh / Whistler ::::::Second room..... 1UP Hench & Centinal Dj Kline Danjamouse Tickets only $20 and you can grab them at...

By the early 90’s he was hanging out in the multicultural city’s thriving after hours scene where DJs would be playing a cross section of house music from New York\, Chicago\, Detroit and Europe. Stuart grew up on labels such as Trax\, DJ International\, KMS\, Nervous\, Strictly Rhythm\, & Nu Groove. Working at Cosmos Records store during the late 90’s led Stuart to dig further into Disco\, Jazz\, soul\, funk\, Latin\, Brazilian. With this wide spectrum of interest in music\, Stuart’s strength as a DJ is his versatility. Depending on the night and the crowd\, he can throw down funky Techno\, jacking sounds\, soulful and deep House\, disco\, and sometimes a combination of these. As with his Djing style\, Stuart’s music can swing from lush and soulful melodic techno to jacking beats or smokey deep house (with hints of above aforementioned influences). He has released music on respected labels such as Dolly\, Philpot\, Mathematics\, Mule Electronic\, Versatile\, Ostgut Ton\, New Kanada\, and Creme Organization. With support from: Max Ulis - http://soundcloud.com/maxulis Derek Dee - http://weareleisure.com/ This show is happening in the Hideaway. Omar-S presented by Midnight City will be in the Cabaret.

Live PA. incorporat...ing organic instrumentation and vocals\, and showcasing talents that often find themselves caught between DJ and band. FEB 11th - We very proudly present Vincent Parker & MistrWolf: ************************************************************ ***MISTRWOLF Breakz R Boss Records East Van Digital www.mistrwolf.com www.soundcloud.com/mistrwolf Born February 14\, 2010\, this refreshing duo has combined thunderous wobble and captivating melodies with integrity and confidence. They immediately and bravely dove head first into Vancouver's bass culture manifesting an integral affect on the scene forever. Harley Spade\, sprouted in Detroit\, Michigan. Inspired by Tegan and Sara and Ani Difranco\, at age 14 Harley bought her first acoustic guitar and revolutionized her idea of female songwriters. She left the depressed and toxic Detroit River at age 18 and made her way to the Pacific Ocean. 7 years later\, relocation after relocation\, a full-length solo album and many performances along the way\, the singer/songwriter craved something new and innovative. She attempted to self-teach the intensive road-map that is engineering electronica\, hoping to enhance her solo acoustic sound. Joshua Fact\, on the other hand had always lived and breathed electronica. With 21 years of percussion under his belt\, 11 years of Djing throughout western Canada\, 10 years of music/video/theatre production\, Rave promotion\, and co-founding NNP\, his experience was far from small. Influenced by producers like Rusko\, Timbaland\, Bad Boy Bill\, and local Vancouverite Cinto\, Joshua insisted that he continued to grow like his mentors and uncover his uncanny abilities. In 2009 he began to experiment with manipulating bass sounds and pushing for the thickest\, grittiest\, wobble his subs could handle. After struggling to create sounds and engineering a decent drum line\, Harley met Joshua\, who struggled producing notes that harmonized with musical aesthetics. Thus\, MistrWOLF naturally bred as an unstoppable creative force melding two adverse worlds creating one unique melodic romance. With Harley on tangible instruments and Joshua on the trigger\, their live performance is chalked full of unpredictable vigour\, emotional stimulation and crowd interaction. Whatever label or genre we try place upon MistrWOLF's head\, no matter what predetermined idea we have before they're seen live\, Harley and Joshua will always throw in several elements of surprise that keep the feet from stopping and the heart pumping. ********************************************************** ***VINCENT PARKER Hailing from the bass drenched streets of East Vancouver\, Vincent has his own instantly recognizable brand of music a type of live blissed out psych power bass rhythms that are steeped in the psychedelic omnipresent mist of the Pacific Northwest.

We love to love\, and we love to party\, so come join us for the Valentines Party of the year. Costumes encouraged\, silliness mandatory\, que Cupid and let's get s...tupid! Headlining the eve are dnb heavyweights The Upbeats feat. Philadelphia's Armanni Reign pon the mic. Little T will be hosting as Master of Ceremonies. The Family Compact will start the night with hip hop\, Mr. Macro will transition with a mix of dub\, hip hop and funk. Bastet’s smooth mix of melodic dub/wub will spark the love\, while Krusha's bag of tricks will light the way for the final wave of Drum and Bass. THE UPBEATS Hailing from Wellington\, New Zealand\, Terror Snake and Downie Wolf are The Upbeats\, one of the most legendary production/DJ teams to emerge out the fertile New Zealand drum and bass scene. From playing ironic bootleg mash-ups at a tiny rock bar\, to owning and operating their own record label\, Non Vogue\, this substantially more motivated "Wayne and Garth" of the drum and bass world are genuine innovators; in more ways than one.With a decade of experience in the music game they have released three critically lauded albums (with a fourth in the works) and countless singles on some of the most respected drum and bass record labels in the world. Known for their skills at constructing both digital pub rock anthems for the club and genuinely emotional home listening material - their musicality has seen them collaborate with or remix for the likes of Ed Rush and Optical\, Noisia\, Bad Company\, Hive\, Gridlock\, Bulletproof\, TREi\, State of Mind\, Shapeshifter and MSTRKRFT. Along the way they've performed extensively across New Zealand\, Australia\, North America\, Europe and the UK building a loyal audience worldwide. Favoring an anything goes DJ style\, their performances regularly trigger mosh pits\, crowdsurfing\, topless dancers\, on-stage acrobatics and even once\, dual zorb surfing at a capacity paint rave. Still as passionate about the creation and performance of music as they were ten years ago\, The Upbeats continue to set standards across the board. Creatively speaking\, these guys are far from done. Hold tight for the next episode. www.theupbeats.co.nz MC ARMANNI REIGN After spending six continuous months as 103.9FM's freestyle champion\, MC Armanni decided he needed a change. The cutthroat and ghetto style of the hip hop industry had given Armanni chills and it was time to switch things up. His introduction to drum and bass was an experience shared by many first timers; Sutpens' Jungle\, February 2000. His first mixtape was "DJ SS live at Sutpen's Jungle" on which the vocal skills of MC Skibadee gave Armanni insight to the lyrical potential of drum and bass. Sighting MC Skibadee as one of his influences\, Armanni has developed a distinctly powerful and diverse style of lyrical delivery which has garnered respect amongst his peers as well many of the top dnb mcs and djs in the World. Staying true to his hip hop roots\, Armanni delivers bounce\, flavor and lyrical wizardry. www.armannireign.com Little T Little T has come a long way from his motels and low-residence housing to opening for such big acts like Lil’ Kim\, Warren G\, D12\, R.A. The Rugged Man\, Swollen Members\, Moka Only\, and Kyprious. He quickly developed an appreciation for the culture\, which has allowed him to rise above other challenges and proved him to be the littlest biggest deal in Vancouver. Little T quickly made a name for himself with clever wordplay and a solid flow\, his mixtape\, Littlest Biggest Deal\, has already sold over 1000 copies\, proving that big things do come in small packages. Little T will soon share his music on an international platform while maintaining his realistic consciousness and making the world a better place; or at least greater to vibe in. Although small in size he is dense with what the stars are made of. www.littletmc.com Krusha Hailing from Vancouver Canada\, Krusha's sound has long been synonymous with names like Evol Intent \, Dieselboy\, and has received support from like artists around the world. Today Krusha's sound chooses not to be pigeon holed\, sometimes heavy\, often melodic\, Krusha is currently known for a slew of dubstep bootlegs which have garnered the attention of the blog world. Tempos aside\, expect to hear heavy bass music\, with love. http://soundcloud.com/krusha Bastet From Nelson\, her fascination with frequencies began as a small child in awe of her father's high fidelity sound system that filled the living room she grew up in. At 13\, she bought her first turntables\, enchanted with sound's ability to influence. Transforming emotional states\, inspiring movement from stillness\, soon became her preferred form of expression Always pursuing unheard\, intricate\, profound sounds and perfecting her craft. With an open heart and inspired mind. She steps lightly alongside the perpetual creation of future sound and conscious future evolution. She has been honoured to play alongside artists including - Salva\, Eprom\, Nero\, Zedz Dead\, Vaski\, Reid Speed\, HavocNDeed\, Glitchy & Scratchy\, Myles Away\, Fluxo and Application. http://soundcloud.com/bastet Mr. Macro Mr. Macro a.k.a. Ian Mac is a longtime beat-head and selector straight from the rainy streets of Vancouver. Awoken from a deep slumber by the thumping of the bass and the kicking of the speaker cones\, Mr. Macro has emerged from hibernation to serve you up a delectable selection of fresh jams.

Up there with the busiest artists in the scene\, Deekline splits his time between regular worldwide DJ tours\, relentless production work and overseeing the six record labels he heads up; Sludge\, Hot Cakes\, Jungle Cakes\, Booty Breaks\, Rat Records and Giant Pussy Records\, all of which work tirelessly to propel street level artists into the forefront of the electronic music scene. A bonafide musical shapeshifter\, his countless releases have erupted into both the underground and mainstream worlds\, gaining support from the likes of Diplo\, Craze\, DJ Hype\, Afrojack\, Stanton Warriors\, Plump DJs and Krafty Kuts and representing bass music in its truest form; a melting pot of dubstep\, UK funky\, garage\, bassline\, dancehall and breakstep. Tracks like ‘I Don’t Smoke’ and ‘Bring it Back’ continue to smash dance floors years after their release and his enviable status in the often competitive American and Canadian markets further cements Deekline as one of the UK’s strongest production talents. His back catalogue of collaborations shows incredible diversity\, with artists such as Wizard\, DJ Assault\, Fast Eddie\, Kid Sister and Freq Nasty having queued up to work alongside him over the years. More recently\, he has hooked up with Tim Healey on a release from new blood Encore\, due for release on the massive Island Records\, and will see the release of his bootleg of ‘Go Outside’ on Hot Cakes; a track originally released on Lily Allen’s record label. Also\, look out for Deekline\, Wizard and Ed Solo’s remix of Rebel MC’s massive track ‘Tribal Bass’\, the upcoming Deekline and Ed Solo album\, ‘Bounce and Shake’ and upcoming release on Central Station\, ‘Shake The Pressure’… Music aside\, Deekline has been hard at work on The Bass Boutique\, a creative music\, fashion\, art and lifestyle online store that combines his passion for the creative arts with his spiritual beliefs. Quality controlled by a team of DJs and headed up by Deekline himself\, the Bass Boutique will bring together fashion from top designers as well as music chosen by the people that made it. His own clothing line\, The Booty Farm\, will also push forward this year with exclusive ranges from the likes of Uncle Luke and more. Look out for upcoming The Booty Farm sample CD’s\, the first of these coming direct from the legend that is Krafty Kuts! There aren’t many people that can say no to this guy right now\, and with international promoters clambering over themselves to lock Deekline into their diaries there will be no escaping his groundbreaking beats over the coming months. >>> FUNKANOMICS: Juwee\, FxFarmer and Bobby Kudlicz: the three headz from the south of Germany\, who launched the project Funkanomics in late 2006\, have since then been touring extensively in the club scene. They have taken their beat contoured live experience and mixed it with their own funked up style in their productions. A sound that is designed for the dance floor and made up of beautiful crunchy bass lines\, coupled with pumping grooves. A merger that works and once it starts can´t be stopped. In their sets the "Funkos" impress by presenting their sound on four turntabels plus a very own live set including breakbeat with influences from hiphop\, funk\, dope beats\, reggae and electronica. They go against the grain of conventional djing so smoothly\, that you only have to listen to it once and its inside your head. As a result the crowd is instantly whipped to a frenzy with an imaginative and more approach to dance not confined to one genre.

All tickets purchased for the Rickshaw show will be honored at the Rio.** Chali 2na has done it all. From his days growing up on the hardscrabble streets of Chicago’s south side\, to his subsequent explosion onto Los Angeles’ burgeoning hip-hop scene\, to his tenure as MC for seminal hip-hop group Jurassic 5\, Chali epitomizes the portrait of a 21st century artist. To be sure\, with his unmistakable\, beloved baritone\, Chali has firmly established himself as one of the most distinctive\, charismatic personalities not just in hip-hop\, but music in general. Only a select few can say they’ve rocked microphones in front of thousands at a sold-out arena in Tokyo with Jurassic 5\, spit rhymes at Lollapalooza\, painted professional caliber oil color paintings in their California home and lent their distinctive bass-heavy voice\, to such mega-brands as Coca Cola and Sega Dreamcast. Says Chali: “I want to free people’s asses and let their minds follow. To not be preachy\, but to make them aware of what I’m about. I want to enlighten\, but I ain’t trying to be a bumper sticker either.” LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/chali-2na-rio/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120122 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120123 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120117T235254 LAST-MODIFIED:20120117T235254 UID:2855@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Bevvy Swift at Sunday DESCRIPTION:Bevvy Swift is stepping into the den this Sunday Session at The Charlatan.

Having achieved worldwide acclaim for his off-brand variety of Electro-driven Reggae\, MC Zulu continues to push the sonic envelope. He deliberately chooses rhythms with a worldly\, yet uncategorizable feel to them as the backdrop for his rapid fire\, randomized cadence. MC Zulu's appeal\, however goes further than his choice of tracks. While many of his Dancehall contemporaries\, finding themselves in unfamiliar musical territory\, adhere to a more classic Reggae songwriting style\, Zulu enthusiastically breaks rules. He routinely channels a variety of artists which have nothing to do with Dancehall to create his intriguing sound. It is said that he developed such lyrical precision early on\, during his collaborations with Hip-Hop greats such as Aceyalone and Kool Keith. While irreverent interjections of Jazz choruses\, Country storytelling or Hip-Hop street smarts may go unnoticed to the casual listener\, those who have an attuned ear immediately develop an appreciation for Zulu's imaginative musings. It's no surprise that some of his most ardent fans around the world are DJs who have embraced the Global Bass Music trend. - WITH SUPPORT FROM - YAN ZOMBIE (Nelson BC) http://soundcloud.com/yan-zombie SELF EVIDENT (Palms Out/Lighta!/Wepa!/Dipped/Freshmore) http://soundcloud.com/self_evident MC THINKTANK (Homebreakin) http://soundcloud.com/thinktank-1 GAMEBOY (Wepa!) http://soundcloud.com/gameboy-1 VICHOSWING (Chile/Raggamuffin) http://soundcloud.com/vicho-swing $8 COVER - STARTS 930PM ENDS 2AM - 769 E HASTINGS - ASTORIA BAR CHEAP FOOD - CHEAP DRINKS ENHANCED SOUND SYSTEM LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/mc-zulu/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120120 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120121 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20120117T200534 LAST-MODIFIED:20120117T200534 UID:2838@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:sorry babushka free dubstep DESCRIPTION:Free Dubstep/DnB Fridays at Sorry Babushka on Commercial drive (@5th ave) No Cover Charge Patron Shots - $5!

For reference points\, think Carl Craig's epic version of Junior Boys' 'Like A Child'. Yup\, that good." ~DJ MAGAZINE review of Paul Woolford's Morgan Geist Remix "The highlight of the Space Terraza at We Love. Every week Paul Woolford clarified\, refined and defined the sound of one of the most important rooms in contemporary dance music each Sunday." ~WELOVESPACE "Paul Woolford's "The Truth" should be filed in anyone's collection next to other classic UK techno albums such as LFO's "LFO" Chemical Brothers' "Exit Planet Dust"\, Underworld's "Dubnobasswithmyheadman" and Aphex Twin's "I Care Because You Do" ~RESIDENT ADVISOR Releases in 2011 include the debut single for Hotflush\, the cutting edge label owned by Scuba\, the debut single for Carl Craig's Planet E Communications in Detroit\, two releases on London's Phonica label with a rework from German cult figure Kassem Mosse\, reworks of Woolford tracks on Intimacy from Appleblim & Berghain's Norman Nodge plus remixes for Francesco Tristano for InFine in France and T Williams for the UK's cult Local Action imprint amongst a brace of Woolford's sharpest material yet.

At first\, he borrowed a computer to produce\, releasing beats sporadically\, but now he owns a trailer he converted into a full-on studio. With a demanding and aggressive stage presence\, Abstrakt has opened for big names like Propa Tingz\, Mat the Alien\, Emotionz\, Stylust\, Yan Zombie\, and continues to big huge opening slots and festivals. Abstrakt's live mixing is only one element of his character; beginning production around the same time as mixing\, he has improved steadily\, blending virtually every genre of electronic music with a base in heavy dustup\, and now performs full sets with all-original beats. Abstrakt has produced 13 albums across several genres\, and to kick off 2012\, Abstrakt is releasing a solo 16 track album\, which will be available for free download shortly. Emotionz: Having performed at over 1000 shows through North America\, Europe and Asia\, Emotionz is becoming known as one of the top party rock mc's in the world. Fusing quick lyricism and soul touching verses with west coast bass thumping beats and a wide range of BPM's. His live set consists of Beatbox looping with samplers\, rapping\, freestyling\, DJ' ing \, playing drum machines\, dancing and overall bringing a unique experience and energy to the jam. In 2009 producer/DJ Stylust and Emotionz started a label together out of Vancouver\, BC called "Sound Vibe Records" and released his solo album titled "Kush". After getting an amazing reaction to the disc from the festival/Bass music crowd they decided to follow up the hype by touring vigorously and also starting a weekly Dubstep night called "Whatevers Dope". Sound Vibe also just released the Kush Remixes album which showcases producers from all around North America dropping there own versions of some emotionz tunes. Leo Zen: An energetic producer and DJ out of the Okanagan\, Leo Zen is quickly becoming an iconic entertainer. Not even 19\, Leo moved from Japan two years ago and avidly began producing bass-driven music with fellow Salmon Arm locals\, mixing heavy-edged rhythms with vicious accuracy and a impressive stage presence. Leo most recently released "Bass Munchiez" with fellow SA heavyweight Abstrakt Sonance; the EP was released through Bassbong records\, and received great praise across playlists and blogs. Mixing for less time than he's been producing\, Leo has established himself as a ruthless technician on the decks\, and is known for murdering every second of a set he gets. Leo Zen is on a mission to mix\, mash\, and unleash a savage symphony across all platforms as an entertainer and professional musician. Drawing influences from Ajapai\, BassNectar\, Downlink\, and many more underground champions\, Leo captivates a crowd and surpasses any expectations he's up against. Leo's ready for the next step\, and with a full year of releases and events lined up\, his fans are ready too. Pronoia: Born in the Great city of Vancouver and flown away to the vast cold. Living north at a young age\, Pronoia honed his music skills first on the guitar and bass learning from friends and trying to make a band like every teenage guitar player dreamed of. After working along the Arctic ocean fueling the equipment that smashed the earth and stole its treasures he was thrown back to the Pacific to realize the noises he was hearing at work could were being reproduced in song. His love of Dub-step and heavy bass music was born. He completed a year certificate in audio engineering and obtained work as a light tech in the downtown core. This was the catalyst to show this metal head there was something more. After being exposed to a barrage of Dj's and artist \, be it through work or play the transformation had begun and this small town boy had become a full fledged Bass Head. After attending constant shows the decision was made to attempt to rock the crowd in the fashion of his favorite artists\, Pronoia is known to be the sweatiest man at the show be it his or yours or any. He tries to bring the energy when other;s stand with blank stares\, he jumps into the crowd to dance when others check there email. A show with Pronoia is a time that you will walk away with some hooks in your ears and some sweat in your hair. Grimmes: 'Grimmes' is the physical representation of the guttural connection that Andres Grimmes shares with music. With a natural rhythm beating through his veins\, this eager young DJ/Producer has been on a charge to quickly establish his skills as a top tier turntabalist and musician. With a respect and love for all genres\, this bass music enthusiast lives to share the energy of art with others\, both on the dance floor and at home. With a hunger for fresh and genre-pushing tunes\, this beat addict and connoisseur strives to promote the complex and meticulous dance music of tomorrow\, both in his live shows as an entertainer\, and in the lab as a driven musician. With a mixing-style ranging from downtempo\, melodic IDM\, to back-breaking wobbles\, scratches\, and cuts - Grimmes is a 'genre-slut' that is able to adapt and get bodies moving with the drop of a needle. ft. B.Biz In 2010\, B.Biz moved to Vancouver to seriously attack a chance at a life of music. Excelling as in intern for an artistic management company\, and with the help of fellow OK-grown local Memo\, Biz pushed life aside and made music personal\, striving to make every new next step sound and feel better than the rest. Self-recording\, mixing\, and releasing 3 mixtapes in one year\, B continues to keep biz\, always steady ready dying for a life of hype. Grimmes and Biz paired up to design a live set balancing the classic feel of freestyle rapping and vocalism with the aggressive symphonic presence of new electronic production. The two work together\, placing an emphasis on the interactive opportunity that DJ's and emcees face in a world paved by vicious experimental producers of colossus calibre.

We are pleased to be hosting Evolver Spore Network co-founder Jonathan Phillips in a panel discussion facilitated by Sobey Wing. On the bass music end of things\, we are stoked to have Westerley headlining; Wes always brings the heat as you know if you caught his performances at either Bass Coast Project or Shambhala this summer. Also looking forward to the Vancouver debut of Connecting Circles founder 5AM; this boy always slays it on the decks. And of course expect only the finest of tunes from Plus 2\, Tesseract and Commoddity. **Musical Talent** ~WESTERLEY - Lasqueti Island [Diversity Festival] From Lasqueti Island on the West Coast of Canada\, Westerley has been playing and producing bass heavy music for over a decade. Starting at a very young age Westerley has played countless parties\, festivals (including Shambhala\, Bass Coast\, Soundwave\, VEMF\, and Diversity) and club nights alongside a massive list of well known artists such as Pendulum\, DJ Fresh\, Shimon\, Chase & Status\, Bassnectar\, Eskmo\, Freq Nasty\, Liquid Stranger\, Shy Fx\, Deekline\, The Freestylers\, Grooverider\, SS\, DJ Zinc\, Spoonbill\, Gaudi\, Twilight Circus\, and many many others including opening for DJ Craze & Armanni Reign in Tallinn\, Estonia. Lately Westerley has been focusing on the deeper\, more minimal side of dubstep but you can expect to hear pretty much anything if the time is right. For 2011 he saw his first release on RFR\, took on running the Beach Stage at Diversity Festival on Texada Island and had a solidly booked schedule of shows. http://soundcloud.com/westerley http://www.facebook.com/westerleymusic http://westerleymusic.com/ **Supporting Acts** ~PLUS 2 - Vancouver [Tycho Records\, Connecting Circles\, Ballad] For 15 years Plus 2 has been involved in the EDM scene and has set himself as original and unique with both his own home cooked sound and a fine ear for trippy little tidbits. A team member of Glitch Hop Forum and Connecting Circles\, he hits speaker cones with his own produced mix and blend of Nintendo Crunk and dancefloor beats while dabbling with some of the best Midtempo and Glitch available today. Now a resident of Vancouver he is setting up shop for full time work on music and will continue to do so into the future and beyond. This is deep friend Nintendo Crunk like your mom never made it. http://soundcloud.com/plus2 ~5AM - Victoria [Connecting Circles] 5am's love for music has been with him since day one. Growing up around live bands\, his interest for electronica spawned within the last 5 years. Influences like Pink Floyd and Tool quickly transformed into Lighta!\, DJG\, and Headhunter aka Addison Groove to name a few. Recently focusing on the aspects of production\, 5am is creating his own sound\, merging a unique blend of wonky\, funky house and dubstep to make you move in ways you never thought possible. Opening for such international headliners as Ott and Mimosa\, you know this boy isn't just playing around. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=324192516613 http://soundcloud.com/connecting-circles ~COMMODDITY - Vancouver [Connecting Circles\, Ballad] Dabbling in mixing for years now\, 2011 marked the year that Commoddity started playing out seriously. Last year he shared the stage with West Coast names like Bird of Prey\, The Librarian\, Naasko and Mazeguider. Proud to be a part of the underground culture in Vancouver\, he plays a mix of the deeper sounds of dubstep\, minimal drum & bass and eastern infused midtempo. Expect a diverse array of beats to satisfy eclectic tastes in modern bass music. http://soundcloud.com/commoddity ~TESSERACT - Vancouver [The Fractory] Hailing from the west coast of BC\, Tesseract brings together a style influenced heavily by the diverse local soundscapes. An obsession with all things audio has developed into a vast collection of weird sounds to draw upon\, from heavy bass\, low and slow\, broken beat and everything in-between. Prepare to be led on an aural odyssey that is sure to leave you wondering what just happened. ~Visuals for the night by VJ KINOTROPY. **Evolver Salon and Discussion Panel: [8-10 PM]** ~2012 or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Dimensional Shift~ Where will you be when the Mayan Long Count Calendar ends on December 21\, 2012? Will you be hiding in a cave from global cataclysm and magnetic polar reversal or dancing the night away at the intergalactic party? Considering that nobody knows what’s going to happen\, 2012 functions as an intriguing meme upon which we can project our hopes and fears\, dreams and desires. Potentially\, the date could represent the coming-to-consciousness of the human species\, in which we take responsibility for our role as agents of evolution. From alternative economics to ayahuasca healings\, kundalini awakenings to open source democracy\, shamanism to sustainability\, this Evolver Salon will discuss the visionary ideas and tangible solutions of a new planetary culture creating the shift we long to see.

Irie are very proud to present Jamaica's dancehall diva TANYA STEPHENS live in concert for her first ever Vancouver appearance! Tanya Stephens is one of the most entertaining and conscious dancehall artists in the world.... Tanya Stephens is that rare outta order gal pickney who’s proved to the dancehall frat that she’s meant for more than decorating men’s rhymes with smooth background harmonies. Gangsta Blues\, Tanya’s fifth CD (VP Records)\, is raw\, rebellious\, and authentic\, confirming her position at the top of the dancehall game with a vivid display of her wide-ranging musical imagination and keen wordplay. Whether spouting hardcore racy rhymes\, insightful political statements\, or crooning heart-tugging romantic fables\, only gutsy power bolts come from the throat of this giant talent. Stephens' most recent album Infallible offers much the same variety as her previous hit albums such as Gangsta Blues and Rebelution. Juno award winning reggae artist Elaine "Lil Bit" Shepherd will also be performing. Tickets on sale now on Ticketweb.ca. Get em now at the super affordable price of $25!

DESCRIPTION:Blackcrack Records Presents BRUKINOUT ... DEEJAY PHROH (Solartribe Underground DJ Collective\, Frozen O's Records) http://www.solartribe.ca/ For over 10 years now DJ Phroh has been hard at work smashing dancefloors in his home town of Whistler British Columbia. A DJ\, a producer\, a turntablist\, and most importantly a lover of music. He is notorious for his jaw dropping sets at the infamous “Whistler Full Moon Parties” where he scratches over his bass heavy\, home grown\, original dubplates of jungle\, drum & bass and dubstep. A regular in the Canadian DnB Scene\, he has been seen mashing up the dance at clubs all over the Canada from Toronto to Vancouver to Victoria and especially at his residency at the famous “Whistler Junglists” nights @ Whistler’s best nightclub\, Tommy Africas. - SPECIAL ED (Automatic/Whitebird Victoria/Van City Bass/Royal Platoon) http://soundcloud.com/special-ed Special ED has been DJing Drum n’ Bass and Jungle since 1996\, influenced heavily by the Ragga and Jump-Up styles of the time. Ed rapidly mastered the art of mixing records and was playing a crucial part in Victoria’s early Drum n’ Bass scene by 1997. By the end of the 90's\, through his involvement with Whitebird Records and pure dedication to his music - he had amassed one of the largest collection of wax\, as well as one of the longest résumé’s of any DJ in Victoria. Since 2000 Ed has resided (or played at least once) at every regular Drum n’ Bass function in Victoria\, working with various production companies such as Whitebird Records\, 420 Kru and Ground Level Productions. Special ED has played alongside some of the VIP Drum n’ Bass - Jungle DJ's and producers to grace Victoria. Now living in Vancouver Special ED has teamed up with Soda to form the Van City Bass Crew and has held a residences at Shine\, Cyber and most recently at Republic alongside Soda\, Matty Pacific\, Dabbler and Jay Auto. - GRASP THE ERRO (BomBeatz\, Supercool) http://soundcloud.com/grasptheerro Grasp The Erro is a Canadian dj/producer who currently lives in Vancouver BC and focuses on all genres of bass music including dnb\, dubstep\, electro\, glitch and more. To call him energetic and eclectic would be a vast understatement. If Grasp isn't drenched in sweat with a hoarse voice every time he gets off stage he considers it a failure. Raw passion and pure dedication have propelled Grasp to where he is today and they continue to fuel his ascent. He approaches his productions the same as his live shows\, nothing short of excellence is satisfactory. Grasp is dedicated beyond reproach to ensuring that his original music is the absolute best that it can be and his live shows leave no one unsatisfied. His diverse background\, encompassing turntablist competition\, producing and promoting\, enable him to appreciate all aspects of the music industry. 2011 has been a major year for Grasp the Erro as he has seen 20 releases on 6 labels with many more on the way. - ATTIKUS & GBOXX (Live Performance) http://soundcloud.com/attikusgboxx From up out of the woodwork in the half lit basement freestyle cyphers and the concrete streets surrounding East side warehouse bass parties in the Vancouver underground music scenes emerges "ATTIKUS & GBOXX"\, with the release of their first LP\, "PROTOTYPES". Both veterans of the Vancouver hip hop group GroundBreakers\, Atti and G have been building music as a formidable team for 8 years\, culminating in a major push in the last two years and a release of the GroundBreakers highly acclaimed LP "From The Ground Up". Adept at fusing singing and raps with live instruments\, DJing and beatbox\, these two energizing performers began to explore different musical avenues in 2009\, taking a major interest in bass music\, specifically dub step and electro. Though torchbearers of 90's hip hop and boom bap\, Atti and G began blending different sounds and styles in an experiment to break out of the hip hop underground norm\, and into more uncharted territory. - DJ BRUKOUT (Blackcrack Records\, Audio Cartel - Vancouver\, BC) http://www.djbrukout.com/ Lucas Allen\, also known as DJ Brukout started DJ-ing in 2001 and has become a household name here in Vancouver. Channelling influences from artists such as Capital J\, Andy C\, Rusko\, Bob Marley\, Qbert\, Noizia\, Zeds Dead to name a few. Since starting on the ones and twos\, he has had the opportunity to play for large acts such as Bone Thugs & Harmony\, Benny Page\, The Freestylers\, Andy C\, Capital J\, Dog Pound Gang\, Dillinja\, Marcus Visionary\, and many more. - DJ SYDUCTIVE (Vancouver\, BC) http://soundcloud.com/syductive *Birthday Set! - Hosted By MC FLOW PRO (Vancouver\, freelance) Featuring $7.50 Doubles $7.50 JagerBombs $5.25 Tequilas Friday\, January 6th\, 9pm-3am Post Modern Dance Bar - 7 Alexander Street\, Vancouver ____________________________________________________________ Visit us Online: http://www.donnellygroup.ca/ 'Like' us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/postmoderndancebar Follow us on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/DonnellyClubs #PostModernDanceBar Please drink responsibly and plan for a safe ride home.

That’s the beauty of the 170bpm mark” D-Bridge Darren White aka D-Bridge is a legendary figure and veteran producer in the drum & bass scene. Though his career stretches back to the early 90s\, it was in his role as one quarter of the irrepressible drum & bass super-group Bad Company in the late 90s and early 00s that he really stamped his mark on the scene\, dominating the sound of drum & bass during that period. Tunes like ‘The Nine’\, ‘Planet Dust’ and ‘Nitrous’ are unforgettable classics and are the tip of the iceberg of an incredible back catalogue of work from the foursome. Since they disbanded\, D-Bridge has carved a superb reputation as a solo artist\, with a more refined sound that is no less effective in the clubs\, with tunes like ‘True Romance’\, ‘Odessa’ and ‘Twilight’ leaving a lasting impression on the scene. His label Exit Records is renowned for quality over quantity\, with all releases carrying a touch of class. He’s a highly sought after DJ\, and his widespread appeal is best demonstrated by the fact that he regularly appears at nearly every one of our wide range of drum & bass nights\, from the tough beats of Renegade Hardware to the soulful vibes of Swerve\, via Ram Records rave-up and Shogun Audio’s slightly more left of centre throw-down. D-Bridge loves to draw from the range of diverse music he’s so passionate about when playing a live DJ set. Seamless transistions from rough to smooth are his trademark although his sets always deliver for the dancefloor\, making him equally at home whether representing Metalheadz or Soul:r for example. Having honed his deck skills with over 10 years of DJing experience\, D-Bridge brings the same quality and style to a live show that he does in the studio. It’s no surprise then that demand for D-Bridge is high and can surely only rise as the success of Exit Records continues to grow. --------------------------------------- Mechwarrior: Fractured Technique/Barcode Recordings http://soundcloud.com/mrmechwarrior After promoting successful techno and DnB events in the World War II-era bunkers that dot Sydney Harbors shoreline as well as venues like The Occidental he switched 100% of his focus onto dj'ing.

Actively promoting again in Vancouver with fellow Australian\, Adrian 'Element MC' Farfan under the name Fractured Technique --------------------------------------- Kir Mokum: SHAHdjs/East Van Digital http://soundcloud.com/kir_mokum An uncompromising intellectual with a virile artistic spirit\, Kir Mokum focuses on introducing his audience to music they didn't even realize they wanted to hear. In classic rōnin style\, this man is unfettered by the categorical thinking of the d'n'b shogunate. His chosen path is to shed light on the depth and breadth of the music he represents. -------------------------------------- HxdB: Surefire/Tectonic/Aufect/Formant/East Van Digital http://soundcloud.com/hexadecibel Recently back from a UK tour\, it's hard to express the respect HxdB has here in Van.

Bring your dancing shoes for Vancouver's premiere live electronic performance showcase! Sequential Circus is an ongoing music event series featuring an ever-changing lineup of live perform...ance (live-pa) electronic music acts\, both local and imported talent\, with a focus on cutting edge sound and visual technologies. Do not confuse this with a DJ event - the dancefloor will be jumping\, but all the music at Sequential Circus is composed and performed live by the original artists; it's more of an electronic music concert series than a clubnight. VENUE: Open Studios\, #200 - 252 East 1st Avenue 19+ w/ID ONLY - there's a bar TICKETS: $20\, available at the door only\, arrive early to avoid disappointment Doors at 10:00pm\, first performance begins at 10:30pm sharp! MUSICAL PERFORMANCE LINEUP: 0CO With over two decades of performance experience on a variety of instrumentation\, Salvatore Sferrazza's latest compulsion for synths with beats sees him producing under the cryptic pseudonym 0CO. Melding influences that chronicle the history of electronic music\, 0CO's oeuvre maintains orbit around a barycenter of Techno\, Electro Bass\, Acid\, Italo-disco\, Berlin School and Freestyle. While the sounds exhibit a severe fixation on synthetic rhythms\, sinister melodies find ample opportunity for infiltration. Dark\, double-helix synth passages betray an intellect seldom portrayed in much of the 21st century's dancefloor fodder. Further distinctions are found in 0CO's applied matériel. Live electronics are manufactured exclusively with hardware kit: DCO polys\, VCO monos\, PCM ROMplers and a small modular are deployed for violent sonic disintegration campaigns upon nocturnal subterraneans. Chaos awaits. STYLE: Techno / Acid / Electro Bass HOME CITY: New York City\, NY Jesse Bru Jesse is an MC\, DJ\, producer and artist who draws inspiration from all things deep and soulful. Borrowing much of his approach to music-making from that of early-90's sample-based hiphop (A Tribe Called Quest\, O.C.\, Organized Konfusion\, DJ Krush)\, you can expect a plethora of rhodes\, vocals and guitars\, with plenty of disco and soul sprinkled on top for good measure. Jesse will be releasing his debut album 'MidCity' on UK-based label 'Audio Parallax' early in the new year and is certainly someone to keep an eye on. STYLE: Deep House HOME CITY: Vancouver\, BC The Automatic Message The Automatic Message is Trevor Jacobson and Tanya Goehring. They are based in Vancouver\, Canada and have been working together since 2007\, creating music\, performing live audiovisual sets and producing music videos. Their music ranges from hard\, dark techno to jazz-influenced minimal and experimental electronic. Their video work exemplifies their interest in ideas that hover on the edge of normalcy\, darkness and surreality. The Automatic Message is currently working with the labels: From 0-1\, Machine Box\, CLR\, Kalimari Musique\, Monsieur Musique\, Bleepsequence and are part of Berlin's UNOIKI collective. STYLE: Techno\, Minimal\, Experimental HOME CITY: Vancouver\, BC Max Ulis A DJ going on 13 years\, Max Ulis was first inspired by the sounds of house\, trip hop\, and early drum and bass. With the formation of Vancouver's Lighta! Sound and the success of New Form's Dubforms parties headed by Malcolm Levy and Michael Red\, Max gained ground as one of North America's first dubstep DJs. Over the past two years Max has shifted his focus away from dubstep\, coming full circle with his music to reintroduce elements of his first loves\, house and techno. Max's music has been played by notable performers such as Addison Groove\, XI\, Joe Nice\, Starkey\, Breakage and Stereotyp and he has shared the stage with a who's who of contemporary dance music. Artists such as DJ Krush\, Skream\, Benga\, Hatcha\, The Bug\, Breakage\, XI\, DJG\, DJ Vadim\, The Mad Professor\, Salva\, Eprom\, Remarc\, Calibre\, Falty DL\, Machinedrum\, Joker\, Caspa\, Julio Bashmore\, and Roska to name a few. To quote Resident Advisor's Andrew Ryce\, "Max Ulis' increasingly diverse output could hardly be described with any one term\, but it's all united by an extremely spare and dry aesthetic. Stripped back\, pitch black\, and stark\, he strikes an enviable balance meshing the dark with the dance floor." STYLE: Minimal HOME CITY: Vancouver\, BC Vespers Vespers is a beat-making robot that started creating music in the year 2502\, then was sent back in time to show humans how to mangle audio using Ableton Live.He makes a unique fusion of heavily edited glitch hop beats and live instrumentation with sax and an Akai EWI4000S wind synth.His live shows push the envelope of what's possible using Live's looper technology\, real time glitch effects\, and controllerism with midi devices like the Akai APC40 and MPD32. STYLE: Bass-heavy\, jazzy glitch hop with live sax\, looping and wind synth overdubs HOME CITY: Salt Spring Island\, BC Villain After playing the 6th installment of Sequential Circus\, xfive is back under his alter-ego\, Villain. Revelers of the groundbreaking series of shows will hear live versions of the upcoming debut album on Singularity\, as well as brand new creations. Dark\, moody\, twisted\, genre bending grooves will be encompassing the sound of the evening.

Stanton Warriors had arrived. Overnight\, Stanton Warriors became the hottest producers on the planet\, and today they continue to stay at the very pinnacle of their profession. High profile remixes for such luminaries as Missy Elliot\, Fat Boy Slim\, Basement Jaxx\, Mylo\, Freeform Five\, and Busta Rhymes amongst others constantly fill their diary\, whilst their own original material continues to push the boundaries of musical excellence. They are also incomparable when it comes to working with vocalists. In a scene renowned for instrumentals\, Stanton Warriors have jetted around the world to record with vocal talents that include Big Daddy Kane\, Twista and The Beatnuts\, implementing house\, electro\, hip -hop and funk elements into their sound. Their most recent accolades include their placing as Number 1 djs at Breakspoll and Number 1 breaks djs in DJ Magazines Top 100 for the past two years in a list awash with trance and house djs. The awards are testament to having played at every major festival and super club around the world – treading an international path that few djs can rival. Stanton DJ sets are famed for incorporating exclusive original tracks mixed with homemade edits / remixes of cutting edge sounds from underground house through to abstract hip hop and everything in between. It’s all blended into a melting pot of low down booty electro punkishness\, and is continually reminding the world why Stanton Warriors have remained unrivalled in their genre for more than a decade. ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ HERE IS HOW TO HEAR ABOUT OUR EVENTS: Become a Fan of PH1: https://www.facebook.com/PH1ca Follow PH1 on Twitter: http://twitter.com/PH1ca Become a Fan of Twisted Productions: http://www.facebook.com/twisted.ca Join the Twisted Productions Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=58184885063 Follow Twisted Productions on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/twisteddotca LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/stanton-warriors/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120112 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120113 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20111223T115600 LAST-MODIFIED:20111223T115600 UID:2730@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:rocksonix - msh DESCRIPTION:MSH Sessions presents BASS APPRECIATION PARTY R O K S O N I X (Circus Records / UK) www.facebook.com/roksonix ... w/ Ishiyama & Squeezeboxx TICKETS $10 or 2 for $15 Tickets on sale NOW http://www.nightbat.com/event-roksonixvan http://clubzone.com/msh Beatstreet Records (604.683.3344) Zulu Records (604.738.3232) MSH Sessions and the Dubstep Invasion Series\, Would like to thank all of you amazing fans and supporters for coming down and giving it your all night after night.

Anyone DnB that's been in Vancouver for more than 4 years knows about Bias and the Met. He may have been busy fishing for the last while\, but he's got a whole new (digital) crate of tunes and he's ready and itchin' to com...e back. Latest soundcloud mix: http://snd.sc/uyebgw With Kir Mokum and J.F.Killah starting things off\, this will be a solid and varied night of DnB. At the beautiful backstage lounge. $6 as always. ====================================== DJ BIAS – Vancouver www.soundcloud.com/dj-bias Playing parties and clubs in Vancouver for over 10 years now\, DJ Bias has been mixing all forms of drum n’ bass and dubstep with ease -- be it ragga jungle\, liquid funk or dancefloor smashers. With his unique style of cuts and flowing quick mixes\, seeing Bias perform is a special treat. After running a Friday night drum n’ bass night for 4 years and being voted top Vancouver drum n’ bass dj by a local d’n’b forum\, he's definitely earned the respect of listeners and dancers alike. He's always been known to play the newest selections of drum n' bass and even turned a few heads when he started playing the odd dubstep track when it was just breaking into the scene. Whether it be on 3 turntables or 2\, he's no stranger to giving the crowd a true performance. Bias has also played alongside some top drum n' bass producers and dj's; such as Dj Hype\, Dj Zinc\, Dj Fresh\, Subfocus\, Gridlock\, Marcus Visionary\, Suv\, Hive\, Chase and Status\, Nicky Blackmarket. He’s played everywhere from Toronto\, Ottawa\, Portland\, Seattle\, Calgary\, Whistler\, Saskatoon and all the way to Scotland. Bias is just happy to be rocking the dancefloor and not get too caught up in what tune is what just as long as it gets the dance moving. Having taken a 3 year break from the scene he's ready to get back into full steam with more choice selections of Drum n'Bass and dubstep. Choosing to focus more on the Dj side of things rather than promoting these days\, he's now able to do what he does best: mix tunes for people who love music.

Online >>> http://tz.ae/859 Or in stores: Beatstreet & Hi-Life Records - Commercial Dr *********************************************************** ***THE FUNK HUNTERS (Ghetto Funk UK) In just a few short years\, The Funk Hunters have built an international following\, releasing music on labels around the globe and showcasing their signature high-energy DJ sets at some of the world’s most popular music festivals and clubs. The duo (Dunks & The Outlier) first teamed up because of a mutual love for “Hunting” good music\, and today this passion still rings true as they continue to champion the simple but often lost idea that the music itself comes first\, regardless of attachments to genre. The Funk Hunters name is now in high demand\, receiving bookings\, accolades\, and remix requests from all corners of the electronic music scene. Armed with 4-turntables and the unique ability to create live mashups and remixes\, their DJ sets standout. Seamlessly blending original productions with everything from HipHop to Funk\, Disco to House\, Dubstep to DnB\, and everything in between\, The Funk Hunters create original sets never replicated. It’s not uncommon to find this duo headlining an all bass music festival one night and then performing a funk\, soul\, or boogie set the next. They have toured across Canada multiple times\, played to crowds of thousands at renowned festivals such as the Shambhala Music Festival and the Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival\, and have been invited to share the stage with musical pioneers like Z-Trip\, RJD2\, and Cut Chemist. In 2010\, they completed their first month-long international tour\, playing shows across the country of Brazil. On the production front\, their original music and remixes have been played around the world in clubs and on radio-stations alike. Signed to True Movement\, Ghetto Funk\, Fort Knox Recordings\, Manmade Records\, Homebreakin Records\, and Swing Set Sounds\, The Funk Hunters’ releases prove again that their musical taste and influence spans all genres. They are now working on building their own label to distribute future releases while still maintaining close partnerships with labels like Homebreakin (CA) and Goodgroove (UK) to produce their own acclaimed events that bring international talent to Canada. ******************************************************** ***DJ WOOD (Ghetto Funk UK / Bombastic Jams / Good Groove UK) A veteran of western Canada’s underground scene\, DJ Wood remains un-jaded after 20+ years of rocking clubs & parties. Thanks to an unbridled enthusiasm for fresh sounds and an ear for dance floor magic\, this stalwart approaches each performance with the excitement of an hungry newcomer. Firmly entrenched in the Drum’n’Bass scene through most of the 90’s\, Wood’s style has since evolved to encompass all of his musical influences. Funk\, soul\, reggae\, hip hop and disco are all represented in Wood’s eclectic and bass driven sets. Fusing classic grooves with cutting edge production\, Wood’s arsenal of bootlegs and original beats has garnered the attention of DJs and beat freaks around the world. In his home town of Victoria and current home in Vancouver\, Wood has shared the stage with a who’s-who of dance & urban music luminaries including Shy FX & Skibadee\, Stanton Warriors\, DJ Z-Trip\, DJ Shadow\, Dub Syndicate\, Chemical Brothers\, Bassnectar\, Tipper\, John B\, Aesop Rock\, The Beatnuts\, Public Enemy\, Dr. Israel\, Fort Knox Five\, Smalltown DJs\, Malente\, Raekwon The Chef\, Afrika Bambaataa\, Coolio\, Bad Company\, Ray Keith\, DJ SS\, Ed Rush & Optical\, Goldie\, Sammy Bananas\, Featurecast\, DJ NuMark\, DJ Phantasy\, Adam F\, Kenny Ken\, DJ Qbert\, Tha Dogg Pound and even Canadian comedy legends The Trailer Park Boys. As a solo artist or with long-time collaborator DJ Soo\, Wood has appeared at clubs\, parties and festivals across the nation\, including BC’s famed Soundwave and Shambhala music festivals and infamous club nights such as Toronto’s Make It Funky\, Calgary’s Hai Karate\, Kelowna’s Footwerk and Vancouver’s Big Sexy Funk. Having released 2 singles via Vancouver label TwentyHz Music by 2006\, one of Wood’s early productions caught the ear of fledgling UK label Goodgroove Records. The track was chosen for their debut release\, the first in the legendary “Regrooved Series” that has been the driving force behind the Nu Funk movement and inspired a global party series of the same name. In 2010 Wood stepped up his output considerably\, connecting with digital label Bombastic Jam for a series of successful tunes and remixes. As a founding contibutor to the Breakspoll Award-nominated blog and label Ghetto Funk\, Wood has been closely involved in Nu Funk’s shift towards a harder\, bassier direction. Whether behind the decks or in the studio\, DJ Wood is determined to push boundaries and set dance floors on fire! ******************************************************* ***APPLICATION (Shambhala Music Festival) Growing up in a little B.C. town called Shambhala\, Darby was impression-ed at an early age to a status quo that as he would find out later was not common to the rest of the country. As the town of shambhala grew\, so did the country’s awakening. Growing up learning that a DJ has to pay to play\, has earned application a seat in the foundation of much of western Canada’s underground community’s. one of the four founding fathers to the integrated grime unit\, Application is part of a family of super producers that includes Ill-esha\, j me j\, Glitchy & Scratchy\, Myles away\, Nog chompa etc. Application is the product of 11 years of evolution and change. Turning his equipment into his biological appendage\, he effortlessly transports you through genre and tempo\, taking his audience on an emotional roller-coaster encompassing the entire human experience. If you are there expect to hear the perfect song for the moment. also expect to have sex sprinkled on everything you’re wearing. **************************************************** LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/diversity-w-funk-hunters/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111209 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20111210 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20111206T100650 LAST-MODIFIED:20111206T100650 UID:2681@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Minotaurs Lair DESCRIPTION:THE MINOTAUR'S LAIR / ARTSHOW EXTRAVAGANZA A MONTHLY EXPLORATION OF ART & SOUND SHOWCASING EMERGING VANCOUVER ARTISTS ...

And if that weren't lame enough\, he is resolutely anti-anti-establishment. He thinks "the system" is not the problem\, and he thinks art should be about something\, other than the artist's latest mood. And\, he thinks "tagging" is as clever as a dog marking its territory.

If you attended October's party with Todd Edwards and XI you know how we get down. For the 4th iteration of Yours Truly we are proud to present to you some of the strongest locals Vancouver has to offer: ... CLOUDFACE (LIVE) Cloudface is the nighttime moniker of Vancouver-based electronic-musician\, and all-around-nice-guy David Reynolds. David's sound comes in the form of an impressive hardware-based live P.A. that includes a wide array of deep sounds from the 707\, 808\, Machinedrum\, Pro-One and other classic boxes\, programmed in a restrained and educated fashion. Not to be confused with the retro-nonsense that blurs current dancefloors\, his unique take on music is a welcome contribution to the echo of Techno's finest eras. We encourage you all to come check him out. http://soundcloud.com/dssr & SCOTT W Scott W is the kind of DJ who you can depend on. If you are going to a party and his name is on the bill you know you're going to be in for a treat. Scott is the only DJ who can eat a bag of smart pop while playing a wild set at 5 am with a calm ease that would lead you to believe he does it nightly. Scott’s impeccable selection and mixing all lends to his ability to command a room. If you have seen Scott live you fully understand this sentiment\, if you haven’t he is one of Vancouver’s must see locals. alongside your residents: Prison Garde AJK Kevin Eames Zeeaa Expect a wide array of club sounds\, sophisticated presentation\, and an environment for the discerning individual. Yours Truly is presented by Inside Out Radio\, Catalog Gallery and W2 Media Cafe. *11pm - late* $10 November 19th is civic elections day so get your vote on during the day!

Friends\, Cheer\, and a whole lotta great music! Going to have a special guest all the way from Vietnam throwing down some records! DJ Jase (The Beats Saigon) ... Jase is the original Bass DJ of Vietnam\, he had been a pioneer of Jungle and Dubstep\,Glitch Hop scene since 2007 in his native land. Jase self taught himself the art of djing in 2001\, when he bought his 1200s. House was his first genre of choice for the first year. As Jase progressed\, he found House's beat was to simple so the next genre was Nu Skool Breaks due to its popularity of it at that time in Sydney. He slowly moved toward Drum and Bass\, Hiphop and Reggae after-co founded the infamous Sydney's DNB promotional crew "Foreigndub" which made numorous successful parties bringing international DJs including DJ Marky and Stamina MC\, Big Bud\, DJ Patife & MC Cleveland Watkiss\, Kenny Ken and many more. In 2007\, Jase returns to his hometown Ho Chi Minh\, and started The Beats\, which focuses on promoting beat based music and brining international DJs to town\, he also co-founded Saigon Rockers with party such as Reggae Sunday. Since then Jase had shared stage with international acts such as: .DMC .DJ Premier .Major Lazor .The Freestylers .Goldie .Girltalk .Tha Trickaz .Jimmy Barnes .The Cuban Brothers .The Gaslamp Killer .Lexie Lee .DJ Shortkut .DJ Patife & Cleveland Watkiss .High Contrast .Stamina MC .Bulletproof .D.Kay .Kenny Ken & MC Foxy .Spikey Tee .The Upbeats and many more Also making an open invitation to all my favourite DJs\, MCs\, and performers to come on down and jam with me for the night! DJ SOO steadfastly (some say stubbornly) refuses to be pigeonholed in any specific genre or style. Long considered one of Vancouver’s best party-rocking DJs\, SOO has spent the last decade perfecting his craft and honing his skills – mixing\, cutting\, scratching and blending a range of different styles while keeping heads nodding and bodies moving. Having supported a virtual who’s who list of talent (including such diverse artists as Q-Bert\, Z-Trip\, Mix Master Mike\, Afrika Bambaataa\, DJ Numark\, Lorin Bassnectar\, the Stanton Warriors\, and many more)\, been involved in countless residencies\, and having played in venues around the world\, SOO has garnered an international reputation as being one of Canada’s most diverse\, skilled\, and original DJs.

Featuring performances by: ***Timothy Wisdom ... ***Bevvy Swift ***Vespers *********************************************************** ***TIMOTHY WISDOM Every weekend droves of culturally conscious hipsters\, post-ravers\, neo-hippies and social activists pack into some inconspicuous underground venue. They want to experience the intensity of bass-heavy anthems and dance together in a newly thriving cultural collective. At the forefront of this movement is Timothy Wisdom - the most sought-after powerhouse behind Vancouver's exploding intentional dan...ce community. Timothy's sets literally lift audiences off their feet\, arousing ecstatic screams from the crowd in a relentless stream of perpetual sonic mayhem. Combining the tricks of turntablism and MCing\, with productions that cross multiple music styles\, this DJ really puts the punch into his art form. Starting in 1991\, at the age of 13\, Timothy bought his first set of turntables. He produced live hiphop tapes and began unleashing the skills that would later propel him across the nation\, through countless musical strands and into the ears\, hearts and minds of thousands. From Newfoundland to BC\, Florida to California\, Timothy has performed for some of today's largest festivals\, including the Vancouver International Folk Festival\, Shambhala\, and the infamous Burning Man Festival. His music unifies\, intensifies\, uplifts and penetrates the senses. His show boldly sets a new standard in performance DJing. Timothy is a scientist of sound. In 2001 he invented the world's first digital force-feedback turntable - D'Groove. An engineer on the decks and on the mic\, Timothy fuses crazy scratching\, instant remixes and his hilarious antics into a performance that can be summed up with a single word: FUN! And just when you thought the party couldn't get any better\, Timothy Wisdom will get the place roaring. ******************************************************* ***BEVVY SWIFT started playing guitar and writing hip hop beats (which were too "electronic sounding" for most mc's i knew... a bit of foreshadowing for ya) in high school\, and was djing breakbeats and drum&bass at local raves as soon as i graduated. three years later\, longtime friend and dj partner the mongoose (then known as dj global) and i decided the half-time dnb/glitch hop we had been tinkering with on ...my old PC was ready to be unleashed on the unsuspecting city of vancouver. teamed up with new friends jmej and application\, we threw our first glitch hop show\, and performed as "glitchy & scratchy". three more years\, two western canadian tours\, two shambhala sets\, and a whole whack of good times later\, glitchy & scratchy are still in demand all over north america; one day we'll get our ish together and do a real tour. :) while as a duo we rock out pretty hard\, if you catch me solo\, you may hear things varying from swedish minimal funk to deep rolling dubstep\, as well as all sorts of genre bending shuffley stuff. head-nodders always appeased. the dance always considered. ****************************************************** ***VESPERS (Live) Having a background as an acoustic musician has helped Vespers to explore and understand the recording\, DJing and live performance aspects of Live. His experience includes 7 years of classical piano\, 21 years of saxophone\, and 11 years of DJing. His knowledge of the program that extends beyond just the studio has been an asset for Vespers. He uses Looper to integrate saxophone and Akai EWI wind synth overdubs into his live performances and uses sampling extensively to create innovative banks of sounds triggered via MIDI during shows. He is a creative innovator\, constantly pushing the envelope of what is possible with a fusion of technology and live instruments.

The easy answer is: Humans are conscious. Robots are not. But what does it mean to be conscious? Being conscious has to be more than just responding to your environment\, performing complex actions\, or monitoring your processes\, because robots can do these things too. If everything we do can be automated\, what's the point of being conscious? ... The point is: being conscious is fun! And the best way to have fun is to come dance with all your conscious friends at the CSS's 2nd annual Robot Party! Let's celebrate our inner robots! They do all the hard work while we get to have all the fun! This year we're partying upstairs in Ladha with a massive sound system\, black lights\, flashing lights\, cheap drinks\, and the best electronic music in the city.

The fantastic tale of an 18th century aristocrat\, his talented henchmen and a little girl in their efforts to save a town from defeat by the Turks.

A convict (James Cole) reluctantly volunteers to be sent back in time to 1996 to gather information about the origin of the epidemic (who he's told was spread by a mysterious "Army of the Twelve Monkeys") and locate the virus before it mutates so that scientists can study it. Unfortunately Cole is mistakenly sent to 1990\, six years earlier than expected\, and is arrested and locked up in a mental institution\, where he meets Dr. Kathryn Railly\, a psychiatrist\, and Jeffrey Goines\, the insane son of a famous scientist and virus expert. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBNMEwNx9x4 **Admission by donation.

DOORS AT 9PM TIL LATE ABOUT ONYX The group was formed in 1988 and Onyx released its first 12" single\, "Ah\, And We Do It Like This"\, in 1990. The song revealed a jazz influence\, unlike their later work. In 1991\, Onyx was going to present a demo to Jam Master Jay at Def Jam\, but Big DS and Sonee Seeza (then only known as Suavé) were in Connecticut at the time\, so Fredro Starr called up his cousin Sticky Fingaz (who lived in Brooklyn). Once Sticky Fingaz joined the group\, the group released Throw Ya Gunz in 1992. After the track Onyx inked a deal with Def Jam and were promised an album which became 1993's Bacdafucup LP. The album met with great commercial success\, including heavy airplay on radio and MTV for the single "Slam". Onyx also performed with Biohazard on the tune "Judgment Night"\, taken from the soundtrack album of the same name. Onyx also received critical acclaim\, winning Soul Train's album of the year. Big DS left the group during the recording of All We Got Iz Us because he felt he wasn't getting enough time on the microphone.[citation needed] In 1995\, Onyx released their second album All We Got Iz Us. While the album was much less successful commercially\, it proved to be a critical success. In the August 2008 issue of VIBE\, All We Got Iz Us was listed as the best produced rap album of 1995 and one of twenty albums every fan of hip-hop must own. The release was followed by another gap in albums\, but the members remained in the public eye by appearing in several movies\, including Clockers\, Sunset Park (1996)\, and Dead Presidents (1995). Both rappers continue to appear in movies and television\, appearing on the FX Network on The Shield and on HBO's The Wire. Onyx returned in 1998 with their third album Shut 'Em Down\, which featured appearances from DMX\, Lost Boyz\, Raekwon\, Method Man\, Big Pun\, Noreaga and a then-unknown 50 Cent. This album found critical as well as commercial success. The album produced two singles "React" and "Shut 'Em Down"\, the latter featuring DMX. After leaving Def Jam\, the group returned in 2002 with Bacdafucup Part II and "Sa'ad Part 4" released on Koch Records\, Followed by the 2003 release Triggernometry on D3 Entertainment.

As folks familiar with W2 Media Cafe know\, our events fe...ature a full bar\, late-night cafe food service\, and often go later than advertised. J BOOGIE’S DUBTRONIC SCIENCE San Francisco resident and world-renowned DJ/producer J Boogie continues to challenge the boundaries of the music world across genres\, styles\, languages and borders throughout his 20-year career. This truly unique artist speaks to his listeners through a diverse musical language he created integrating techniques and musical genres including downtempo\, dub\, hip–hop\, soul\, reggae\, funk\, African\, Latin\, bhangra\, dancehall\, disco\, electro\, bass\, tropical\, dubstep and house. Constantly revolutionizing the game\, creating new sounds\, and always keeping fans on their feet\, J-Boogie continues to lift music to its full potential through his distinct approach and one-of-a-kind style. He’s delivered his masterful mix of culture\, soul\, rhythm and beats both at home in the Bay Area through his award-winning radio program “Beatsauce” on KUSF\, and around the globe spinning DJ sets in countries like Colombia\, India\, Japan\, and Spain. J-Boogie’s local success has earned him awards such as “SF’s Best Club DJ” by SF Weekly\, “SF’s Best Radio & Club DJ” by citysearch.com and “Best Hip–Hop Radio Show” by SF Bay Guardian. His global success has earned him acclaim and opportunities worldwide\, including spots on radio and television both here and abroad\, sportswear sponsorships\, and the opportunity to DJ the Tokyo Dome for an NFL football game. Throughout the years\, J-Boogie has also provided musical ecstasy for millions\, blowing it up on the festival circuit at Coachella\, Bonnaroo\, Treasure Island Music Fest\, Outside Lands\, Lightning in a Bottle\, Bumbershoot\, SXSW\, WMC\, Harmony Fest\, Earthdance\, High Sierra\, Sundance Film Fest\, The Winter Olympics 2010\, Power to the Peaceful and Burning Man.

J-Boogie’s widespread success and longevity in the music industry can be attributed to his exceptional style and ability to constantly revolutionize music. As one of the first DJs to incorporate musicians and vocalists into a live band / DJ fusion set\, J-Boogie has truly redefined what it means to be a DJ. With this groundbreaking concept\, J-Boogie has created a new realm of live performance and a new type of record. J-Boogie brings this exclusive style to life with his band “Dubtronic Science” in live sets as well as in their self-titled debut album that dropped in 2003\, featuring artists like Goapele\, Gina Rene\, People Under the Stairs\, Capitol A and Tony Moses. For his last album \, Soul Vibrations\, J-Boogie put together a new “Dubtronic Science” band featuring a horn section\, Latin percussionists and MCs.

He has also created a full Soul Vibrations: Dub Remixes version\, dubbing the album into outer space through his studio’s analog delays and space echoes.

He has released remixes for artists such as Widespread Panic\, Nickodemus\, DJ Vadim\, Alice Russell\, Miguel Migs\, Vieux Farka Toure\, Karsh Kale\, The Rebirth\, Zeph & Azeem\, Mark Farina\, Zion I\, Goapele and Soulstice\, and has been featured on Mark Farina’s Mushroom Jazz 5 & 6\, Om Lounge series\, Ubiquity compilations and remix projects.

The man\, the myth\, the Kangol. Known for his signature choice of headgear as well as a prolific career which has spanned two decades\, San Francisco DJ legend J Boogie is back with Undercover\, his fourth album with his live band\, J Boogie’s Dubtronic Science. A decade after the first Dubtronic Science album\, which fused electronic music with live band sound to create a genre-blending model\, the musical landscape has become cluttered with more sub- and microgenres than you can shake a stick at. Luckily\, J Boogie’s background as a radio and club DJ in the eclectic SF music scene has afforded him the ability “to roll with any situation and rock it\,” he says. Rather than concentrate on a particular style\, J Boogie’s strength has always been his adaptability; he’s created and refined a sound which can travel from the Bay Area to Bollywood to East London to Kingston to Chicago to Mexico City\, and back. Live\, the Dubtronic sound takes on added value\, becoming a DJ set enhanced by real musicians. Undercover marks a shift in musical methodology for the veteran producer and club jock. “I started sampling less and started recording live instruments more\, and treating the live instruments as samples\,” he says. “That was a huge move for me. 90% of my material before then was sample-based.” This approach revitalized the Boogie man’s creative process\, resulting in a true stylistic synthesis: cutting-edge club flavor and retro-electro grooves\, layered with freshly-squeezed live elements— among them original basslines\, horns\, and percussion— expertly yet subtly grafted from funk\, soul\, reggae/dub and Latin templates. More organic\, more uptempo and more dancefloor-oriented than previous albums\, call Undercover Dubtronic+. The album’s kick-off track\, “Type of Girl\,” featuring female emcee duo The Mamaz\, percolates with an updated electro-hop vibe\, punctuated by funky horn blasts. “Undercover\,” featuring Chrys-Anthony\, slaps smooth soul vocals together with in-your-face bass\, dub FX\, and Latin percussion. “It’s on Fire” transports Rock Master Scott to a rave\, circa-2012\, with help from Lateef the Truthspeaker. “Go to Work” (featuring The Pimps of Joytime) hints at T.K. Records-era disco funk. The bilingual barrio banger “El Ritmo” (featuring Deuce Eclipse of Bang Data) suggests a scene from a Robert Rodriguez film set in the “Star Wars” cantina. “Blue Mountain Dub” (featuring the Jazz Mafia) mixes echoing piano chords with a loping riddim and a Skatalites-eque trombone solo. A Ska/Afrobeat/Two-step sensibility pervades “No Freedom” (feat. Afrolicious and MC Zulu). “Magik” and “Space and Time” bring J Boogie full circle\, featuring guests (Raashan Ahmad and Gina Rene\, respectively) who appeared on the first Dubtronic Science album in 2003. For an album with so many wide-ranging influences\, Undercover is surprisingly cohesive. Its strong individual tracks are held together by common elements which weave through the entire album. Easily the producer/DJ’s most complete\, best work to date\, Undercover firmly establishes J Boogie’s well-deserved place among Om’s legacy artists – including Mark Farina\, Miguel Migs\, People Under the Stairs\, and Soulstice -- while introducing him to a new generation of listeners. Accompanying the album will be a companion volume of remixes by DJ Nu-Mark\, Sabo\, Kush Arora\, and Egyptian Lover\, as well as a limited-edition collector’s item 45 cross-promo with Record Breakin’ & FTC Skateboarding.

What is the buddha?

KOAN Sound are certainly a highly gifted example of this phenomenon. It was in 2008 that KOAN Sound emerged from the ashes of several other musical endeavours\, fusing passion for electronic music with sheer musical intuition. Since then KOAN Sound have continued to develop\, synthesising ever more complex and inspirational patterns. And with influences such as The Prodigy\, Amon Tobin and Noisia\, it's not hard to see why KOAN Sound productions are synonymous with dark gripping basslines; elegantly mastered and meticulously executed. Support is nothing but exponential for KOAN Sound. The group's creative and above all original ethos has granted them well deserved credibility from producers\, DJ and Music fans alike. These include the likes of Aphex Twin\, Pendulum\, Zane Lowe and Rusko. Armed with a creative diversity second to none\, they have set themselves apart from their peers and continue to push music not restrained by tempo or genre\, all connected by their trademark 'KOAN' sound.

From his work as a founding member of the infamous Glitch Mob to his groundbreaking solo work\, Kraddy (born Matthew Kratz) has always been known for shattering genre conventions while moving crowds everywhere from Red Rocks to L.A.’s famed Low End Theory club. From his breakthrough 2008 hit “Android Porn” to the innovative bangers comprising his latest e.p. Labyrinth (Alpha Pup)\, Kraddy continues to hybridize hip-hop\, dubstep and dancehall with face-melting panache and rock and roll bravado. But the man himself was as surprised as anyone when the mainstream crossed over to him With its epic melody\, dramatic builds\, and speaker-shuddering bass drops\, “Android Porn” was hailed as the anthem of the decidedly maverick “glitch hop” movement\, getting remixed by everyone from Mochipet to breakbeat icon Si Begg. Soon\, however\, the song started appearing beyond the sweaty\, crowded dance floors that are Kraddy’s mainstay\, getting licensed for TV shows like “America’s Best Dance Crew” and “America’s Got Talent”; a Hungarian dance troupe’s outrageous performance to the track quickly became a YouTube sensation. Kraddy released his new album Anthems of the Hero this October and will be playing this mind and body shattering album live with a drummer. The sound is ultra heavy\, acidy glitch-hop\, loaded with tonnes of dark twistedness. kraddyodaddy.com HEYOKA: AKA Andrei Olenev is a cosmic auditory scientist found in the Bay Area noosphere\, who has been blowing minds with his sonic manipulations.Muti Music first released Heyoka’s “Space Case EP” in 2008 and included him on their growing roster of talented artists. His albums ‘Whomp Gland & Pineal Dub’\, ‘Gate Code’ and the all new ‘Marklar’ album in 2010 have shown that he is a producer consistently evolving his musical style while managing to maintain a signature sound that is distinctively ‘Heyoka’. His early influences in Downtempo\, Dub and IDM combined with midtempo dancefloor genres have helped create a very unique sound that combines relentless basslines\, hip hop rhythms\, dub vibes\, and musicality and melody\, all within an atmosphere of heavy psychedelia and alien dimensions.The response to his emergence so far has been overwhelming with Heyoka developing audiences and playing festivals from US to Canada and Australia. The response to his emergence so far has been overwhelming with Heyoka opening nights for Tipper\, Benga & Skream amongst others. www.heyokamusic.com www. soundcloud.com/heyoka-1 ShaMANoiD The ShaMANoiD is the bridge between the ancient spiritual and ancestral worlds of the Shaman and the magic in the technology of the future.

It was when they both\, by pure coincidence\, found themselves living in Australia that the connection was cemented. Africa Hitech is the moniker which represents both Steve and Mark‚ love for all things progressive within music\, whilst acknowledging that the roots of much of today‚Äôs popular music can be traced directly back to Africa. Pritchard had already begun to narrow the gaps between the pair‚ beloved genres under his Harmonic 313 moniker and Spacek was eager to explore new directions in both his production and vocals after the disbandment of his eponymous band and the worldwide acclaim of his Dilla-asisted 'Dollar' single. The first widely heard fruits of the duo‚ labor was the striking single 'Blen'. A penetrating exercise in minimalist dancehall swordplay\, it was released under the intriguing name Africa Hitech which immediately seemed to encompass both the influences and ambitions of the newly christened 2-piece. While Spacek's predatory ragamuffin chat on 'Blen' was a pleasant shock to many\, Pritchard's compositions straddled UK garage and ruff-neck Kingston logic just as deftly. More of the same could have easily followed\, but instead came the 'Hitecherous' vinyl double-pack. Nodding heavily towards classic grime\, techno and even (on 'Too Late') smooth\, futuristic lover's rock\, the expansive EP shed some light on where the duo were headed. As well as sculpting their own vision of future music\, they would also stop do update the genres they loved along the way. The result is 93 Million Miles\, an unflinchingly ambitious product of international globe-trotting that carves a new fault-line into the rapidly expanding terrain of "bass music" or whatever it's being called this week. The first point of introduction for many will have been the Ini Kamoze-sampling behemoth 'Out In The Streets' immediately championed by Flying Lotus\, Untold\, Toddla T\, Benji B\, Scratcha DVA and featured in 'Wild Hundreds' a documentary about Chicago's underground Juke/Footwork dance community. A brilliant exercise in artful international data-splicing\, 'Out In The Streets' combines the ghosts of 1980s Jamaica with the youth-culture explosion of juke. While there are several incredibly unique footwork deconstructions on the album\, other tracks like 'Our Luv' and the album's title track look to Chicago house and Detroit Techno while Spacek's combative patois returns drenched in sinister vocoder tones on the grime-meets-dancehall bubbler 'Do You Wanna Fight?'. Still more explorations come with the album's second half when afrobeat\, dub and deep jazz experimentalism are all added to the already potent cocktail. For many this ambitious cultural intake could spell disaster\, but in the hands of Pritchard and Spacek it becomes a surprising\, fulfilling journey aimed squarely at the dedicated listener rather than simply at the dancefloor. Given the duo's breadth of experience and exquisite levels of taste and ability\, it could go no other way.

It is impossible to discuss Hip Hop’s history without discussing KRS-One. His reputation as both a live performer and as Hip Hop’s resident “Teacha” has reached mythic proportions. Throughout his 20 year career trajectory legendary pioneer Kris Parker who goes by the pseudonym KRS-One (Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone) has given fans over a dozen classic Hip-Hop albums\, spoke at more then 500 universities/colleges including Harvard\, Yale\, Princeton\, Spelman\, Howard and Oxford\, been nominated for Grammy Awards\, received multiple RIAA certified gold and platinum sales accolades and become the definitive source for conscious urban music. Nicknamed “The Teacha” the New York native and acclaimed MC has been honored by the United Nations\, Billboard Magazine\, The Source\, BET Hip-Hop Awards\, VH-1’s Hip-Hop Honors and Harvard University to name a few. He has been given the keys to the city in Kansas City\, Philadelphia and Compton\, was nominated for the NACA 1992 Harry Chapman Humanitarian Award\, holds the Reebok Humanitarian Award and three Ampex Golden Reel Awards. KRS One is viewed as the embodiment of the philosophical\, sociological and political worldview espoused originally by those that participate in Hip Hop’s culture. He is presently one of the most outspoken leaders of Hip Hop’s politics and tradition. His integration of Hip Hop and metaphysical knowledge resonates throughout his music\, lectures\, and writings as his powerful presence continues to inspire generations. As Rolling Stone once put it\, “He’s one of the most influential lyricists of all time.” Born in New York in the 1960’s and raised by his single mother\, Kris quickly learned how to take care of himself on the “streets” as his family shuffled between Brooklyn\, Harlem and the Bronx throughout the 1970’s. Sometime around 1981 the young teenager left home to pursue his purpose as a philosopher/emcee. He would use the Brooklyn Public Library at Grand Army Plaza for shelter and learning. As part of the homeless population\, Kris would venture onto the 3rd Street/Bowery shelter as well as the 166th Street & Boston Road shelter in the Bronx where in 1985 Kris would fatefully meet a social worker\, Scott Sterling a.k.a DJ Scott La Rock and the two of them would form the renowned rap group Boogie Down Productions. Tragically\, the duo only made one album together Criminal Minded (“an unadulterated classic and the template for all subsequent gangsta rap” according to Rolling Stone) when Scott La Rock was fatally shot trying to break up a street dispute. Long before the slayings of Tupac Shakur\, Christopher 'Notorious B.I.G' Wallace and Jam Master Jay it was Scott La Rock who became hip-hop’s first martyr to senseless violence. With the death of his close friend Kris became even more inspired to reach an echelon where he could offer words of change. The New York Times once noted\, “Kris Parker's rise from homelessness to stardom\, and from stardom to academic respectability\, took a mere three years.” The prodigious talent has released fifteen classic Rap albums; Criminal Minded (1987)\, By All Means Necessary (1988)\, Ghetto Music: The Blueprint of Hiphop (1989)\, Edutainment (1990)\, Sex and Violence (1992)\, Return of the Boom Bap (1994)\, KRS-ONE (1995)\, I Got Next (1997)\, A Retrospective (2000)\, Sneak Attack (2001)\, Spiritual Minded (2002)\, Prophets vs. Profits;The Mix Tape (2003)\, D.I.G.I.T.A.L (2003)\, Kristyles (2003)\, Keep Right (2004)\, LIFE (2006)\, Hip Hop Lives (2007)\, Adventures in Emceein (2007) and Maximum Strength (2008). In 1997 he reached #3 on the Billboard charts with the hit "Step into a World (Rapture's Delight)" featuring a remix by P. Diddy and has since collaborated with a string of artists running the gamut of R.E.M and Ziggy Marley to Chuck D and EPMD. In addition to remaining loyal to such Hip Hop preservation organizations as Zulu Nation\, the Hip Hop Congress\, and Rock Steady Crew\, KRS One has also founded two other Hip Hop activist non-profit organizations including Human Education Against Lies (1991) and The Temple of Hip-hop (1996). KRS-One remains a zealous community organizer\, philosopher and philanthropist. Whether sounding off political anthems in support of Mumia Abu Jamal and Nelson Mandela or shedding a different light on the September 11th attacks\, KRS-One has never backed down to the fear of controversy. Even today he performs and lectures regularly\, inspiring peace\, love\, safety and unity. For KRS-One Hip Hop is an empowering lifestyle capable of raising one's self worth\, and with his own life he has proved it!

Music: www.soundcloud.com/thefunkhunters Videos: www.youtube.com/thefunkhunters Twitter: www.twitter.com/thefunkhunters Within a few short years\, The Funk Hunters have built an international following\, releasing music on labels around the globe and showcasing their signature high-energy DJ sets at some of the world's most popular music festivals and clubs. The duo (Dunks & The Outlier) first teamed up because of a mutual love for "Hunting" good music\, and today this passion still rings true as they continue to champion the simple but often lost idea that the music itself comes first\, regardless of attachments to genre. The Funk Hunters name is now in high demand\, receiving bookings\, accolades\, and remix requests from all corners of the electronic music scene. Armed with 4-turntables and the unique ability to create live mashups and remixes\, their DJ sets standout. Seamlessly blending original productions with everything from HipHop to Funk\, Disco to House\, Dubstep to DnB\, and everything in between\, The Funk Hunters create original sets never replicated. It's not uncommon to find this duo headlining an all bass music festival one night and then performing a funk\, soul\, or boogie set the next. They have toured across Canada multiple times\, played to crowds of thousands at renowned festivals such as the Shambhala Music Festival and the Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival\, and have been invited to share the stage with musical pioneers like Z-Trip\, RJD2\, and Cut Chemist. In 2010\, they completed their first month-long international tour\, playing shows across the country of Brazil. On the production front\, their original music and remixes have been played around the world in clubs and on radio-stations alike. Signed to True Movement\, Ghetto Funk\, Fort Knox Recordings\, Manmade Records\, Homebreakin Records\, and Swing Set Sounds\, The Funk Hunters' releases prove again that their musical taste and influence spans all genres. They now co-own True Movement\, a heavy hitting west-coast music label representing a diverse catalog of glitch hop\, dubstep\, and future bass producers\, while still maintaining close partnerships with labels like Homebreakin (CA) and Goodgroove (UK) to produce their own acclaimed events that bring international talent to Canada.

One Love Music Productions presents: ... The Sundance Kid That African Calamalka DJ Eames Art Displays by: Ben Westergreen Visuals by: Loud Entertainment ____________________________Calamalka_______________________________ http://soundcloud.com/calamalka Michael Campitelli\, or Calamalka\, is a beatmaker\, producer\, and drummer from Vancouver. His career began in 2000 with a self-titled\, vinyl-only release “Calamalka E.P.” that eventually led to his first full-length album\, Shredders Dub\, being signed to Plug Research in 2004. Since then\, Calamalka has been performing his all-original live P.A. set of off-kilter hip hop/future bass music\, drumming for his dub/punk group Sorcerers\, DJing events and working as a composer for film and interactive games. Calamalka has a string of releases due out this year with Low Indigo\, 10 Pin\, and Aufect Recordings and is currently working on a number of collaborations and remixes. __________________________DJ Eames__________________________________ http://soundcloud.com/eames A core member of Victoria's sub|division family\, Eames has spent the past two years pushing Victoria dancefloors through uncharted frontiers of 4/4 club music. Unafraid to embrace the soul and vitality coursing through the framework of electronic music’s fundamental building blocks\, Kevin Ehman has stood tall in the belief that melody\, soul and nuance are essential elements of a good club tune. 2011 has been a year of growth for Eames. A recent relocation to Vancouver has seen him nurture his own productions\, slowly unveiling new tunes via his SoundCloud page. Receiving recognition from some of BC’s most notable producers (HxdB\, Max Ulis\, Prison Garde)\, an official Eames release seems imminent over the next year. His smoldering house beats bear the gritty atmosphere of a dark\, secret warehouse\, where the soulful surge of Chicago meets the deep throb of Detroit. An Eames DJ set is a fluid tour of dance styles. In and around the 4/4 foundation of his sets\, he weaves a myriad of influences\, from trap-rap to 90s r&b to post-everything bass music. His kinetic blends and quick mix style keep dancefloors engaged without all the pyrotechnics of so much modern dance racket. __________________________That African_______________________________ http://soundcloud.com/that-african Originally hailing from Cape Town\, South Africa\, That African has been a fixture in Vancouver for the last few years. Heavily involved in the Vancouver funk (Moo Crew) and glitch hop (Perception) scenes\, That African has helped organize (and DJ'd) many of the cities greatest events. With a repertoire spanning multiple genres (think funk\, swing\, downtempo\, hip hop\, trip hop\, sexy lounge\, and all manner of bass music\, all sprinkled with a healthy dose of turntablism)\, That African is always a crowd pleaser. ______________________The Sundance Kid_____________________________ http://soundcloud.com/chris-the-sundance-kid New to the Vancouver Dj scene The Sundance Kid has an unknown global history that will be be showcased at W2 as he kicks of the night with his sick breaks\, drumnbass\, and dubstep. In 2000\, The Sundance Kid made the move to Busan\, South Korea and was the first DJ to push the breakbeat sound he loves in a trance/house dominated scene. Within a year\, he was spinning throughout the country. With the help of some friends (The Breakbeat Massive Crew: Mr. Fudge\, Elektron\, DJ G and Short Fiction\, and Dong-Ha) established the only electronic dance night in a city of five million people located at Vinyl Underground. Currently\, it is one of the top night clubs in South Korea. The Sundance Kid moved to Taichung\, Taiwan in 2003 and within a matter of a short time\, was nominated one of the best DJs in the country and playing in some of the biggest clubs on the island. During his time in Taiwan\, The Sundance Kid joined forces with Alex D\, Chifunk of REVevolution\, A100 and D’Jones of Swank. Together put on some of the phatest parties Taiwan has ever seen. Art Displays by: Ben Westergreen http://www.benwestergreen.com/ http://www.victoriaemergingart.com/Ben_Westergreen.html Ben keeps his origins in street art intact and plays on many different themes including politics\, contemporary society\, the human psyche and our relationship with the environment. He uses a very distinctive color palette of predominately pale pinks and blues and his work is becoming increasingly recognizable. His black and white photo and oil paint collages of mountains and sky are uniquely juxtaposed with nuances of urban landscape and the effect is simultaneously eery and soothing. Ben's ability to convey opposing forces is his work is quite extraordinary. The artist offers ample atmosphere and movement in his work - some pieces are gentle and offer a quiet meditative quality while others are bold and provoke. Ben conveys profound insight on contemporary society in his visual narrative and there is a lot of energy surrounding his work. This is his first solo show at VEAG and we are proud to debut this exciting new collection in Victoria where Ben still has a lot of artistic roots Amazing visuals by Loud Entertainment!!

Fans voted him “America’s Best DJ” in 2009\, beating out over 100 other DJ’s in; DJ’s Times highly acclaimed readers poll. It’s a fact that many call him the “godfather of mash-ups”\, as he is one of the originators of the genre. His worldwide sold out shows continue to set attendance records while drawing critical praise. “One of the great musical moments from Coachella (2002) was the frenzied set by turntable wizard Z-Trip. He had fans howling and bobbing\, closing his set with a surprise appearance by Beck.” -The LA Times. The LA Times review was well deserved as Z-Trip performed to a jam packed tent of over 10\,000 that day. He has crisscrossed the globe numerous times since Coachella 2002\, chalking up tons of rave reviews along the way. He returned to Coachella 2010\, for his 4th appearance at the festival headlining the Sahara Tent “Even against two of the biggest draws on the schedule\, Z-Trip raked ‘em in\, filling the Sahara with over 15\,000 revelers\,” Daily News. His recent Detroit Electronic Music Festival performance to over 10\,000 stole the festival receiving the lions share of press; “Z-Trip lit up Saturday night\, first by jamming with RJD2 then following with a Detroit-saluting mash-up set”- Billboard 2009. Most Friday nights you can find him at his new residency at Rain inside The Palms\, Las Vegas. Entitled “Z-Trip’s Revolution” He has thrilled crowds there with his genre bending skills and surprise guests including Too Short\, De La Soul \, Rev Run and Three 6 Mafia. Worldwide sold out shows would be enough for most DJs\, but not Z-Trip. Please do not call him a celebrity DJ. His career is too full of impressive producer/artist milestones for that. In 2009\, Z-Trip appeared as an in game character in DJ Hero; for which he also supplied several original remixes and songs. In 2009 “Victory Lap” his last album did over 500\,000 copies. “Victory Lap” (his homage to Obama) was reviewed favorably and recommended by Wired\, Urb\, BPM\, and XLR8R to name a few. Z-Trip’s longtime friend and collaborator Shepard Fairey supplied the art. Z-Trip’s major label debut “Shifting Gears” was given 4 stars by Rolling Stone\, in 2005. Shifting Gears featured Top 10 singles in the US and abroad. With appearances from many of Z-Trip’s friends; Chuck D\, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park\, Murs and Soup of Jurassic 5. “Uneasy Listening” was his first record to receive critical acclaim and helped propel Z-Trip to national attention in 2002. It made album of the year lists in Spin\, Rolling Stone\, Entertainment Weekly\, Wired and XLR8R. ---------------------------------------------------- www.intimateproductions.com www.shahdjs.com LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/z-trip-five-sixty/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111104 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20111105 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20111010T182457 LAST-MODIFIED:20111010T182457 UID:2476@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Suave with Surgeon + Bias DESCRIPTION:This month Suave Assassins are bringin in some incredibly talented special guests and all around wicked dudes that know how to run big tunes proper!

(New Kanada / Cynosure / Toronto) with support from Max Ulis & Scott W ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ADAM MARSHALL http://newkanada.com/archives/category/adam_marshall After a few years of tightly regimented sounds and scenes dominating the dance underground\, it now seems that people are making electronic music more freely once again. Techno guys are playing deep house\, old-school flavors are mingling with cutting-edge production techniques\, and the spirit of the times is more open to DJs and producers who are willing to mix it up than it has been for a long while. As the techno world went minimal-crazy in 2006\, Adam realigned his plans with a fresh label\, New Kanada. In the spirit of imprints like Planet E\, New Kanada avoids easy pigeonholing\, preferring to put out a wide variety of quality music without being particularly genre-specific. Recently acclaimed remixes for Seth Troxler\, Radioslave’s Rekids label\, and his own forthcoming outing on Cynosure (described by renowned techno writer Philip Sherburne as “absolutely gorgeous”)\, are all gaining serious props with heads from across the underground divide\, with neo-house fans\, minimal die-hards\, and techno purists all showing their appreciation of late. Apart from his other boutique vinyl label\, KUJI\, who’s first release (‘Chord Tracking’) was record of the month in techno bible De:Bug – Adam has remixes scheduled for Tiga’s Turbo label and is currently collaborating with Toronto favourites Murr and Rosina from LAL\, and K7′s Milosh. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Doors 9pm / Music 10pm / Cover $8 before 11pm / #10 after This will be another night of quality techno no to be missed! www.intimateproductions.com LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/adam-marshall/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111031 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20111101 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20111008T131100 LAST-MODIFIED:20111008T131100 UID:2459@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Feed Me DESCRIPTION:Blueprint Events presents... -HALLOWEEN DAY PARTY- ft. ...

However\, he soon dropped the "e" from the word to balance the arrangement of letters when displayed in a graffiti style. After a school friend introduced Jon to the world of Drum & Bass he began experimenting with software to create his own music. Spor quickly attracted attention from big names in Drum & Bass\, and secured a deal with the label 'Renegade Hardware'. Much of his work was released through this label\, and soon Jon began DJing sets. He has also released work under the name 'Final Reckoning' with Codex\, as well as under the name 'Unicorn'. Spor has since then been traversing the globe playing his music at clubs across the world. After a successful partnership with Renegade Hardware and Barcode Recordings\, and releases with Teebee's Subtitles Recordings\, Spor and short-time friend Chris Renegade from Renegade Hardware launched Lifted Music with fellow dark Drum & Bass producers Apex\, Evol Intent and Ewun. Spor's electro house side project\, Feed Me\, has also been rather successful. A two track EP has been released under Deadmau5's label\, mau5trap\, along with a track on Noisia's label as well. He released a second EP under mau5trap on December 25\, 2010\, titled Feed Me's Big Adventure. It features eight new tracks including both electro house and dubstep. His newly released third EP of four tracks called To the Stars has been available to the public since June 3\, 2011. Spor is also involved in a second side project called 'Seventh Stitch'\, which produces alternative IDM. It is currently unknown as to whether or not he is the only contributor to the project. http://www.blueprintevents.ca/ MAKE SURE to Become a fan of Blueprint Events: http://www.facebook.com/blueprintevents Follow Blueprint Events on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/blueprintevents LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/feed-me/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111029 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20111030 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20111008T130936 LAST-MODIFIED:20111008T130936 UID:2456@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Yours Truly 3-XI DESCRIPTION:To whom it may concern\, Yours Truly #3 The third edition of Yours Truly is upon us\, and this month coincides with Halloween weekend.

She waitressed to save up for her first Apple Mac and copy of Logic. She now lives in Berlin\, where she works as a sound designer for Native Instruments. She was living in Bristol as the city transitioned from d&b to dubstep and she went to the first parties organised by Pinch. Emika has since worked with Marcel Dettmann\, Tommy Four Seven\, Pinch\, Nick Hoppner\, Paul Frick\, Brand Brauer Frick and Amon Tobin. While our friend Prison Garde (performing at W2 on Oct 29) opened for Amon Tobin in Vancouver\, most of his North American dates featured Emika. "I am focused on the world of sound and the power of the human voice\, the instant connections it makes with listeners\, in music. In general I feel there is a lack of vocabulary in the field of electronic music." _______________________________________________________________________ MAX ULIS: To quote Resident Advisor’s Andrew Ryce\, “Max Ulis’ increasingly diverse output could hardly be described with any one term\, but it’s all united by an extremely spare and dry aesthetic. Stripped back\, pitch black\, and stark\, he strikes an enviable balance meshing the dark with the dance floor." _______________________________________________________________________ AMANDA RUDE: 3 years ago\, co-founder of the FlyDJs (WWW.FLYDJS.COM) all-female DJ collective Amanda Rude dedicated herself to helping the crew with keeping the vibe alive & kicking wherever possible. This collective has thrown many events including monthly FlyDJs showcases and weekly female DJ lessons. Amanda is also currently studying and practicing 3D design full time. More recently she has taken up music production and is full spectrum as she is also working on producing her own events in Vancouver. _______________________________________________________________________ MICHAEL RED: AKA Souns\, is a Vancouver based music producer\, performer\, DJ and event producer.

Collecting THREE Breakspoll awards (Best DJ\, Best Album and Outstanding Contribution to Breaks) has only further cemented his legendary reputation in the global DJ scene. Now with his schedule firmly packed out until next year\, things are only going to get crazier for one of dance music’s most in-demand and highly revered artists. Effortlessly maintaining hierarchy status in every genre across the breaks\, electro\, dubstep\, drum & bass and hip hop spectrums\, Krafty’s music represents mash-up in its truest form. His high octane sets never fail to boost his fanbase and his regular teaming with Dynamite MC and obsession with only the biggest new tracks and remixes keep his show fresh and exciting with every minute that passes. His ability to rock even the most diverse crowd will see him hit every major global festival throughout 2011\, and with a Canadian and Asian tour completed and more mapped out in Australia\, New Zealand and North America it’s clear to see this is set to end as one of his biggest years yet. For anyone a little closer to home\, keep your eyes peeled for upcoming ‘A Night With Krafty Kuts’ events and a university tour plus his second iPhone app which is currently under construction. His recently launched label\, Instant Vibes\, will be the link between the studio and his fan’s sticky palms\, with first offering ‘Shake Them Hips’ and second track ‘Lets Ride’ featuring Sporty-O out to riotous applause. With his third studio album also nearing completion\, some high profile remixes in the pipeline and some seriously hot new talent on the books\, Instant Vibes is fast proving itself as the label to watch in coming months. Those who know this highly skilled DJ will agree that his incredibly warm nature and passion for the scene sets him apart time after time. This\, coupled with an unfaltering ability to deliver the finest\, most eclectic and endlessly inspiring beats to his fans\, will ensure Krafty continues to sweep the board and inspire a global scene for 2011 and beyond. ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ JFB – Breaks / Hip Hop / Dubstep / Drum n’ Bass In recent years the art of turntablism has spun off in myriad new directions\, with techniques such as video scratching and instant sample creation representing a dramatic sea-change for the discipline. Few artists have been further to the fore of these fresh developments than Brighton's 2 TIME UK DMC CHAMPION\, JFB\, a scratch DJ and party starter extraordinaire who won the UK DMC Championship in 2007 and 2011. Catch him alongside regular collaborator Beardyman at one of their legendary Battlejam events\, and you'll bear witness to spectacular improvisational skills melded to ultra-cutting edge technology. When Beardy drops a rhyme\, it can be instantly sampled and scratched into new forms by the DJ\, who's also capable of throwing random crowd banter\, smatterings of live musicianship and even video footage of the audience into the mix. Yet unlike many turntablists\, JFB also knows when to stop beatjuggling and start dropping bombs - ultimately\, it's all about making the people dance. Many of the tunes you'll hear him spin will be his own recordings on labels like Sludge\, Hospital or One Eye Records. This is an artist who's fully immersed in bass culture\, and just as happy spinning hip-hop or jungle as he is breakbeat and dubstep. Allow him free reign to do his thing with a full range of equipment at his command\, and the results will be utterly ground breaking\, but set him loose on two turntables and a decent scratch mixer\, and the boy will set about producing results that are just as jaw-dropping. ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ HERE IS HOW TO HEAR ABOUT OUR EVENTS: Become a Fan of Twisted Productions: http://www.facebook.com/twisted.ca Join the Twisted Productions Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=58184885063 Follow Twisted Productions on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/twisteddotca LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/krafty-kuts-and-jfb/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111105 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20111106 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20110927T200229 LAST-MODIFIED:20110927T200229 UID:2435@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Dancehall Superclash DESCRIPTION:THE FIRST OF HOPEFULLY MANY SUPERCLASHES !

Ninjette has been killing it all year with 'nuf bookings at summer festivals\, constant mixes posted\, and has "never played a dubstep tune." Quite a feat these days. Her opening for Aphrodite locked this booking\, and I'm stoked to see what she brings to crunch time. Iconix is a fairly new name in the city. Just a few gigs under his belt but 5+ years following the sounds\, and now with 2 years mixing he's itching to play for the people. Sidenote - Iconix was a key influence in my love for DnB\, introducing me to the soundtrack of my life.

Part 2 of the Celebration takes place on Friday Oct. 21st ... with very special guests from the magical land down under\, our good friends... Oka! http://www.okamusic.com/ They hypnotized us with their signature Electro-Organic sound at their sold out Biltmore show last Fall\, and we are thrilled to welcome them back for a return engagement as part of our 7th Anniversary Celebration! We certainly have had A LOT of requests to get them back. BWB resident Nils will get the ball rolling by playing the first set of the night. DJ Soo\, one of Vancouvers most versatile and reliable DJ's\, will take over from there and is sure to get the dance floor simmering before turning things over to up and coming Vancouver Funk sensations... The Funk Hunters! who are sure to bring things to a full boil! http://thefunkhunters.com/ In just a few short years\, The Funk Hunters have built an international following\, releasing music on labels around the globe and showcasing their signature high-energy DJ sets at some of the world's most popular music festivals and clubs. The duo (Dunks & The Outlier) first teamed up because of a mutual love for "Hunting" good music\, and today this passion still rings true as they continue to champion the simple but often lost idea that the music itself comes first\, regardless of attachments to era or genre. The Funk Hunters create original sets never replicated. It’s not uncommon to find this duo headlining an all bass music festival one night and then performing a funk\, soul\, or boogie set the next. They have toured across Canada multiple times\, played to crowds of thousands at renowned festivals such as Shambhala Music Festival and have been invited to share the stage with musical pioneers like Z-Trip\, RJD2\, Cut Chemist\, and most recently De La Soul. In 2010\, they completed their first month-long international tour\, playing shows across the country of Brazil. We're stoked to have them sharing their talents for the first time at a Beats Without Borders event. VJ Electrabelle will once again be creating the Visual Environment for this event. http://www.electrabelle.com/ Tickets cost $16 + s/c in advance and more at the door.

A legend in the story of Drum and Bass\, the mighty APHRODITE!

King of the Beats. All Over Me. Ganja Man.... In the scene since 1988 (!!!)\, that's 23 years and he still sells out stadiums and massive shows globally. Steady touring\, he has not sugar coated his sound or succumbed to trends. This is raw drum and bass\, straight up. SODA http://liquidfunk.ca/soda/ With support from one of Vancouver's originators\, DJ Soda from the Automatic crew.

On the strength of their rapid-fire blending and on-the-fly remixing\, they have been toured Canada and have become mainstays of the Vancouver club scene. Having supported such diverse international talent as Z-Trip\, Q-Bert\, DJ Numark\, Stanton Warriors...\, Shy FX\, Zion I\, South Rakkas Crew\, and much more\, they have attained a world wide cult following. Both seasoned crate diggers\, Wood 'n' Soo were raised in the age of vinyl LPs and 12" singles. The onset of the digital era has done nothing to diminish their hunger for fresh new sounds. While rocking the party remains first priority\, the duo refuse to be pidgeon-holed into any particular genre or style of DJing. Hip hop\, Funk\, Disco & Reggae form the roots of their diverse sound\, while their sets branch out to include an array of styles from past to present. Many of today's digital jocks are content to please crowds with only the most tried & true chart toppers but Wood'n'Soo are relentless tastemakers\, mixing future classics and exclusive bangers into every set. Whether individually or as a team\, these two vets bring the ruckus where ever they go. Soo has rocked Ting before but this is Wood's first time at the Ass so lets show them an amazing time!

The revelry may now continue far after the sun has come up. BASKETBALL\, while distinctly DIY\, and completely versed in the fine art of entertaining their audiences have become notorious show promoters and stoppers\, and have garnered a following almost unheard of by a band of this calibre in Vancouver. Being 4 songs in length\, the sheer volume of sounds packed into this 26min\, 45RPM record\, makes no mistake... this record will suitably re-enact the experiences of the moon-soaked masses grinding away during the band's notorious illegal park parties\, and the well-tuned ear of the many who slam the legal halls and venues at home and abroad. --------------------------------------------- Vancouver-dweller BABE RAINBOW is the latest in Warp's long and illustrious tradition of free associating beat-makers\, and sure enough 'It's All Happening' – opening jam on this new EP - could easily be an old Wagon Christ or Prefuse track\, all diced breakbeats and repurposed jazz flutes (the good kind); it’s only the preternaturally swampy sub-bass and pin-sharp sound design that remind us we're in 2011. Wicked stuff\, but a misleadingly frothy and backwards-looking start to an EP that's peppered with surprises and unafraid of the dark side: 'The Spill' is a kind of eldritch house interlude crammed with music-box chimes\, faintly demonic groans and a litary of tenebrous FX\, and the marvellous 'Bounty' teams noirish Vangelis synths with shuffling industrial drum tattoos. That said\, Babe's true allegiances are to hip-hop\, and 'Greeds' stylish beats - somewhere between Various and The Weeknd - are laced with smart\, gruff rhymes from Yung Clova\, while 'Set Loose' and 'Chains' are bedroom R&B epics in a top-notch\, Clams Casino fashion\, the latter conveying that much more drama by being beatless. God knows we know there are a LOT of these post-dubstep hip-hop dudes around right now\, but this EP is a genuine stand-out\, with a surfeit of ideas and minimum flab; its tough\, focussed jams suggesting worlds of possibility and avenues for future exploration.

Tina's BDay DESCRIPTION:After trying to play other musical instruments as a youth\, Zion's Gate Sound owner DJ/Selecta Element started rapping as MC Element in 1993\, at the age of 13. While growing up in Maryland music was his life\, he was MCing\, writing lyrics & tags\, and making mixtapes on tapes. It wasn't until 1997 that Element first started playing records in Seattle. This is when Element realized DJing was one of his true callings and talents. Zio...n's Gate Sound was then formed around 1998 / 99' and was playing shows\, bars and clubs regularly all over the NW. Since 98' ZGS has played alongside or opened for Reggae stars including: Buju Banton\, Damian Marley\, Barrington Levy\, Beres Hammond\, Gentleman\, Richie Spice\, Inner Circle\, Kymani Marley\, Collie Buddz\, Morgan Heritage\, Luciano\, Mikey General\, Bugle\, Serani\, Ding Dong\, Perfect\, Turbulence\, Elephant Man\, Culture\, The Abyssinians\, Anthony B\, Alborosie\, Freddie Mcgregor\, Chino\, Laden\, Ras Attitude\, Rocker T\, Joseph Israel\, Jr. Reid\, Everton Blendor\, Prezident Brown\, Ras Shiloh\, Jah Mason\, Lutan Fyah\, Norrisman\, Mikey Dread\, Pablo Moses\, Daweh Congo\, Twinkle Brothers\, The Congos\, Eek-A-Mouse\, Stephen Marley\, Clinton Fearon\, Alpha Blondy\, Jah Sun\, Ishi Dube\, Mad Professor\, Chukki Starr\, Maxi Priest\, SOJA\, Sugar Minott\, Assasin\, Yellowman\, Sly & Robbie\, Cherine Anderson\, Chezidek\, Michael Rose\, and more.

Z.G.S. also regularly tours California\, Oregon\, and Hawaii\, with tours in the East Coast\, Europe\, Jamaica\, Asia\, and Australia in the works. Zions Gate Sound entered the Clash business in 2006\, and has since been in 5 sound clash events = 2 trophys\, 2 runner up\, 1 3rd place finish so far.................... In early 2009 DJ Chukki (Dynasty Records Official DJ) joined Zions Gate Sound\, along with MC Ras Malawi.

Venue: http://www.waldorfhotel.com/ [dunkelbunt] aka Ulf Lindemann surely counts among the most influential global beat troubadours of the early 21st century. Not only is he known for his work as a composer\, producer\, DJ\, radio editor and multi-instrumentalist\, but also for his exquisit remixes of and cooperations with international artists such as Balkan Beat Box\, Amsterdam Klezmer Band\, Boban Markovic Orkestar\, Fanfare Ciocarlia\, Watcha Clan\, Harry Stoijka\, 17Hippies and Waldeck\, just to name a few. This year\, he’ll take another musical step forward\, by finally fulfilling a long-nourished dream: performing his own material with a full band line-up\, including Percussions\, Keyboards\, Clarinette\, Guitar\, Bass\, Beat Box\, Horns\, Vocals and of course himself on Piano and Electronics (among others…). Lindemann started his musical career as a youngster with producing Hip Hop and electronic music. Later on he studied Jazzpiano\, began to work as a DJ and organised and hosted live-performances and clubnights. Born and raised in Hamburg\, Germany\, Lindemann moved to Vienna in 2001. Initially inspired by its rich electronic music scene\, he quickly fell for Vienna’s unique cultural “Melange”\, its musical diversity that unites influences of traditional music from the Balkan to the Orient. „The world offers a breathtaking plurality of music”\, he says. “It wouldn´t cross my mind to settle for only one style.” The result is the unmistakable [dunkelbunt] sound\, where Dub\, Hip Hop and Dancehall meet Electro-Swing\, Balkan Beatz and Urban Klezmer. [dunkelbunt] is a traveller on behalf of the music\, his mission is the search for an harmoniuos whole. Therefore he travels the planet\, armed with open eyes and ears and a microphone\, to collect sounds\, colours\, smells and all kinds of sensual impressions. Although his musical essence is based upon the south-eastern corners of Europe\, sounds from all around the world are to be enjoyed: from Vienna to the Balkans\, through Anatolia and the Middle East\, to India\, North Africa\, all the way to South America\, to Jamaica and then straight to the swinging North American Thirties. “When performing\, I am travelling around the world together with my audience. Timelessly we are dancing through Countries and Continents\, getting drunk with the infinite beauty of the music.” More Videos from dunkelbunt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrdZwWIhdXs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ4xNHXP1_w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR5ybcorq4I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9spezXhJuU For videos of his live band have a look at his Youtube page here http://www.youtube.com/user/morgenlandstreicher#p/u LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/dunkelbunt/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111015 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20111016 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20110915T140304 LAST-MODIFIED:20110915T140304 UID:2340@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Philthkids DESCRIPTION:PHILTHKIDS ( Moveltraxx / Intellegenix/ Aufect Recordings ) http://soundcloud.com/philthkids from beautiful Nelson BC/not as beautiful Toronto ON SELF EVIDENT ( Palms Out / Surefire / Lighta! / Wepa ) http://soundcloud.com/self_evident http://www.facebook.com/pages/Self-Evident/118247104882834 feeling really good right now CURE ( Aufect / Lighta! / Crude / Gradient Audio / SUB FM ) http://soundcloud.com/dj_cure http://soundcloud.com/aufect-recordings really nice guy\, once you get to know him...

We have experienced something nearly impossible to explain\, yet the cosmic shifts inside of us are not reflected in the world around us. Friends\, family and co-workers expect us to be the same\, but we are not the same. We long to escape the confines of... our daily existence\, but we’re stuck in the patterns of our lives for another\, long\, year. The decompression process culminates in the opportunity to re-create our experience for one night\, here on our home turf. Here\, we can share our experience\, celebrate our personal transformation and officially make the transition back to life as we know it. We can also party with 400 of our closest friends\, and check out some of Vancouver's best Burning Man art\, music\, theme camps\, performances\, activities\, costumes and revelry.

Coming up\, October 8th\, it's Willis' birthday and we couldn't be happier to bring one of the best local's down to rip it up right. Mechwarrior - Aus/Can - Fractured Technique/Barcode Recordings ... with Decibel Point opening. One 2 hour set from each dj. Read the official bio below\, but all you need to know is his recent opening set for Commix at the Red Room was my favorite DnB set in a very long time. Powerful and energetic tunes\, well selected and mixed\, with enough grime to get you going. Not quite abrasive\, but enveloping and driving the whole way through. Still $6 at the Backstage Lounge\, Granville Island. doors at 9\, tunes 10-2. -------------------------------------------- Mechwarrior started promoting and dj'ing in 1996 in Sydney\, Australia. After promoting successful techno and DnB events in the World War II-era bunkers that dot Sydney Harbors shoreline as well as venues like The Occidental he switched 100% of his focus onto dj'ing. The first promoters to take interest were Junglepunks. Although the name suggests a DnB leaning\, the two founders\, Jamie 'SpeakaFreaka' Sparks and Alex 'Manson' Morgan were staunch hard-techno fans and the name came from the outdoor venues used. They saw something in the young dj's techno-influenced sets and he became their first DnB resident. Soon the local strictly-DnB gigs started to flow in after the word had spread. Mechwarrior found himself playing alongside UK heavyweights\, and caught the bug to start producing his own music. Getting tips and guidance from Sydney producers Vtek and Raised By Wolves he pieced together a modest set up and set to work\, but dj'ing was still his main focus. About this time Mechwarrior made another shift back into promoting\, and the Intellect series of events was born at now legendary\, but sadly demolished\, Sydney venue 61 Regent. In 2000 and 2001\, after playing in Vancouver\, Canada\, Mechwarrior made the decision to move across the Pacific in June 2002. From the get-go Mechwarrior was busy. Attending college for audio engineering and post-production by day\, and by night playing the local clubs and parties. For whatever reason\, most of Mechwarriors dj success was down in the United States...especially in Seattle\, where he was virtually a local for the amount of bookings he recieved. He soon teamed up with Vancouver dj and producer Psidream and the two began producing music and presenting Overload Radio together. What followed was many co-headling sets in Vancouver and Seattle and three hard-hitting tunes signed by Barcode Recordings...Stitches\, Last Walk and Pressure Point. In 2005 Mechwarrior took a large step back from producing and dj'ing to focus on his increasingly demanding 9 to 5 in a logistics company\, but still took select dj bookings in the U.S and Australia to keep his musical spark alive. Now in 2011\, he has made a resurgence. Actively promoting again in Vancouver with fellow Australian\, Adrian 'Element MC' Farfan under the name Fractured Technique\, the two have a slew of up-front headliners due through town starting July 9th. New music production is also on the cards with Mechwarrior investing in a new studio set-up. WATCH THIS SPACE.

PENDULUM (DJ Set) http://www.pendulum.com/ http://www.facebook.com/pendulum ... w/ AC SLATER (Trouble & Bass) http://www.djacslater.com/ http://www.facebook.com/djacslater + SHAH DJs http://shahdjs.com/ -HALLOWEEN WKND- SUNDAY/OCTOBER 30th at VENUE NIGHTCLUB 881 Granville St. Tickets on-sale NOW at Blueprintevents.ca: http://blueprintevents.ca/events/35525/615/PENDULUM-%28DJ-SET%29-+-AC-SLATER----VENUE-Venue-Nightclub.html in stores SOON at: Beatstreet Records on Hastings Zulu Records on 4th Ave PENDULUM: Pendulum formed in their home-town of Perth (Western Australia) in 2002\, when producers Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen teamed up with acclaimed local DJ Paul 'Elhornet' Harding. While their individual formative roots ranged from producing drum & bass\, breakbeat and hardcore\, to playing in metal and punk bands\, their comparable talents proved an unstoppable force when they managed to single-handedly conquer the world of drum & bass in their first 12 months together. "We want our music to be an escape. While technology continues to constantly advance production techniques and (arguably) sound quality\, something has been lost in the process - that original sense of self-escape\, the idea of leaving yourself open to experience something you don't necessarily find in every-day life. That was the energy we picked up on and liked about electronic music when we first got into it. It felt like the same energy found with bands like Led Zeppelin and even The Beatles\, and still occasionally today with bands like Tool\, The Mars Volta\, Queens Of The Stone Age and others. To us\, it made perfect sense to combine the best of both worlds\, but it had to be done in a way that didn't make it sound obvious. In the last 10 years you've had all these bands that tried to cross the bridge by recruiting a turntablist / using a synthesizer on their new single\, or electronic artists who just threw an obvious guitar sample into a tune...but eventually it just came across as a gimmick or a bit cheesy. We thought we'd try and do it properly\, because to us it still hasn't been done right and theres a lot of room for exploration. If you turn on the radio today you'll hear 20 tracks in a row describing someone's every-day life\, or songs with a one-line catchphrase chorus about shaking your ass in the club - the production is usually great but when you look deeper\, there's nothing behind it...it doesn't offer you anything past its face value. We want to hear something different and exciting\, but the material we want to hear isn't getting made. Thats why we spend nearly every waking moment trying to create music that takes you out of this universe - for ourselves and anyone else who wants to listen." AC SLATER: Mixtapes. It always starts with a mixtape somewhere. And in a small town in West Virginia\, a 14 year-old AC Slater started rummaging through his dad's music collection and laying down his own sweet mixtapes on a TDK D-C60. AC (real name Aaron Clevenger) upped the ante and threw in some big hip-hop and rap beats to his mixes\, mastered the art of DJing and BOOM - he became the king of the decks at high-school block parties for miles around. Now AC commands the party crowds from underground dens in New York\, the grimy warehouse raves of east London to the throbbing super-clubs in Tokyo with his high-octane mix of twisted electro and dance-driven beats. Can we call him a musical hijacker? We'd like to think so\, as his relentless tour schedule sees him in a world-wide whirlwind\, touching down in the heart of the party scenes across the globe. Here\, he cherry-picks the tracks from the centre of the hardest\, fastest and freshest clubland vistas and remixes and reloads them to fire back out at his ever-growing audience. With a background in hip-hop and rap\, it took an "eye-opening" Chemical Brothers gig that sent AC charging into the dance world at the age of 16. "It became this big discovery process for me\," he says. "I was already into hip-hop\, rock and punk\, but the Chemicals was the first ever rave I went to. After that\, I just went to my local record store and bought up every electronic dance record I could find." While AC plays driving dance-floor beats\, it's his ability to fuse the underground with the overground that sets him apart from his contemporaries. He says: "I'm all about getting my music out to a wide audience\, but making sure it has that fresh\, underground edge." So while his tracks like Jack Got Jacked blew up the blogosphere by harnessing the (then) underground electro sound in 2008\, AC wants people to see the funny side too. No wonder\, from the guy who once wanted to be a comedy writer - check out the lyrics to his dubstep\, big-beef tune with Udachi\, Calm Down (sample: "Yo why you take my sandwich on my birthday?/You know I'm on a diet/I need that multi-grain"). "Fans quote it to me. It was just a joke but people really enjoyed it. Sometimes people get too serious. Music needs to have a humorous edge." And behind every great man\, well\, there may be a woman\, but there's also a crew. Falling in with the turn-it-up-to-11\, bass-hungry party-starters Trouble & Bass\, in New York City 2008 caused AC to not only up his game in writing\, producing and performing\, but also gave him a bona fide urban family too. "It was funny - I'd been to some of the parties they were putting on in Brooklyn\, and one day I was Djing and I looked up and the three of them were just standing there at the back of the room\, like real menacing looking\," he says. Thankfully\, they weren't there to tell him to get off their patch\, but instead welcomed him with open arms and made it official with the infamous T&B pendant. "It just works\," AC adds. "We're all really close. I consider them my best friends." It was through the T&B crew that AC started working with Drop The Lime\, a long-time collaboration which has resulted in tracks like Creepin' (2010) and numerous back-to-back sets at "if-you-can-remember-it-you-weren't-really-there" parties. Then there's his other musical partner-in-crime\, rapper Dell Harris. Their hip-hop odyssey into the underbelly of NYC's nightlife\, album Right Now (2011)\, already causing a stir. AC's also been setting the clubs alight and making a name for himself as one of the hottest remixers around\, with a back catalogue reading like a How To Dance manual. Boys Noize (Yeah)\, Crookers (Cooler Couleur)\, Moby (Stars) and Steve Angello and Laidback Luke (Show Me Love) are just some tracks in a long list of dance-floor bangers sparking out from his deft hand. In fact\, Moby was so blown away he labeled AC's remix as 'a perfect song' and one of his top ten songs of the decade\, yep\, there's your night's playlist sorted right now. Then there's AC's record label\, Party Like Us\, set up in 2009 and named after his eponymous bass -romper track. The label's become the go-to name for the most cutting-edge musicians scouted by AC on his travels and currently includes a roster of bright young things Kry Wolf\, Udachi and B Rich. And the mixtapes - they're still going strong. Bigger\, better and hyped by the likes of Toddla T\, Annie Nightingale (BBC Radio 1)\, KISS FM and a million and one muso-blogs. The mixes have catapulted AC a long way from a West-Virginian bedroom\, but the ride's created one hell of a soundtrack. http://www.blueprintevents.ca/ MAKE SURE to Become a fan of Blueprint Events: http://www.facebook.com/blueprintevents Follow Blueprint Events on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/blueprintevents LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/pendulum-dj-ac-slater/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111028 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20111029 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20110901T150936 LAST-MODIFIED:20110913T130812 UID:2267@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:SHOCKONE, LONGWALK, DARK ARPS - SHAHdjs DESCRIPTION:Start your Halloween off with a BANG! -SHOCKONE (Aus\, DnB) -Longwalkshortdock (Van\, live PA techno) -Dark Arps (Van\, live PA techno/breaks) ...

Recent years have seem him cementing his status as one of western Canada's "must see" dj's all over Canada at numerous events in including the Fractal Forest at Shambhala in 2008\, and at Motion Notion in 2009. The only way to explain the vibe to your friends is to tell them that Freddy J will get them shaking their asses all night long. In summary\, what more can be said about this one-of-a-kind DJ\, other than that his stylish blend of music is like none other\, and can only be witnessed by being part of the crowds he rocks each and every time he plays...

His food preferences veer past strange: his favorite meal is live octopus. His appetite was just as fierce in 2004\, when the Chinese-American carnivore from Washington D.C. almost immediately leap-frogged from local favorite to international DJ headliner. Once established as a DJ\, Tittsworth immediately began to dig into his next course as a producer. With his remixes on Radio One and in influential Top 10 lists\, soon the growl for original material couldn’t be ignored; in 2008 his debut album 12 Steps on Plant Music was released to critical acclaim by Billboard\, DJ Mag\, and URB. More original material is bubbling in 2011 with the release of the 2 Strokes Raw EP (Plant Music). Tittsworth as musician is one type of meat\, Tittsworth as entrepreneur is another. In 2006 Tittsworth established his own label with DJ Ayres: T&A Records. In 2010 he became a co-owner of U Street Music Hall\, a world-class night club with an ever-present line for sold-out shows. 2011 offered a new signature dish: the launch of Tittsworth.com\, a first-look lifestyle site featuring music\, food\, tattoos\, humor\, and the macabre. FEATURECAST Described as 'Nufunk's very own Mr Midas'\, Featurecast has proved himself a leader in his field. From DJing to Producing\, he's had an incredible few years\, churning out some of the biggest party tracks and bootlegs on labels like Good Groove\, Bomb Strikes\, Jalapeno\, Catskills & Funk Weapons. Receiving praise from a host of major players such as Krafty Kuts\, Norman Jay\, DJ Yoda\, Z-Trip\, & A.Skillz describing him as ‘One to Watch’\, Featurecast has crafted his own unique sound combining amazing pinpoint scratching whilst effortlessly cutting between Funk\, Hip-Hop\, Breaks\, Dubstep and Drum & Bass. He's dazzled the crowds of some of the biggest festivals and venues around the globe from Canada’s Shambhala\, Germany’s Fusion\, Serbia’s 3p Festival as well as touring the USA\, Australia and playing all over Europe. With an Artist Album in the works and lashings of party bangers on their way\, it's time to make some noise for Featurecast! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.facebook.com/twisted.ca http://www.oliofestival.com/ http://schitzpopinov.com/ http://www.shinenightclub.com/ http://www.schoolofmremix.com/ LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/tittsworth-featurecast/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20110917 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20110918 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20110901T143457 LAST-MODIFIED:20110901T143518 UID:2235@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Under Ground Fashion Show DESCRIPTION:at the Fall Doors at 9pm\, Runway starts just after 10:00pm http://ugfashionshow.yolasite.com/ LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/under-grad-fashion-show/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20110922 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20110923 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20110901T143230 LAST-MODIFIED:20110901T143230 UID:2232@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Breakage and Daega at 560 DESCRIPTION:SHAH\, PH1\, Tigerstone present: Breakage (Digital Soundboy) with Daega Sound (Lighta!) and Eradik (SHAHdjs) ...A night of deep\, rolling\, heavy\, bass heavy DnB\, Dubstep\, and more.

Moving effortlessly through styles from drum and bass to dubstep\, Breakage has proved himself to be one of the most versatile operators in either scene to date. A prodigious talent\, he already has a number of classic releases under his belt but continues to develop his sound. Combining rich tones and a sense of spaciousness in the mix\, Breakages music is both subtle yet devastatingly effective. Never afraid to make an impact\, he burst onto the drum and bass scene back in 2000\, announcing his arrival with a raucous remix of a hardcore classic\, Nasty Habits Here Come the Drums on Reinforced. He backed up this bold move; however\, with a series of EPs for the legendary label proving he was no young pretender. Developing a close relationship with veterans such as Equinox (Scientific Wax) and Threshold (Special Branch)\, Breakage was at the forefront of a new wave of breakbeat scientists bringing a percussive sound back to drum and bass at a time when the scene seemed to have forgotten its jungle roots. Breakage continued his good form dropping a number of sort after releases for the Inperspective label\, his remix of Equinoxs Acid Rain twisted the Amen break to new levels and served as a rallying call for producers looking to bring back the original drum and bass sound. Further releases came on labels including Critical and Scientific Wax\, before his debut album release in 2006 This To Shall Pass gained wide spread critical acclaim and included some slower tempo material\, hinting at what was to come. James signed with Shy FXs mighty Digital Soundboy imprint in 2007\, and soon turned heads with the haunting half- time beats of Clarendon b/w Shroud. It came as no surprise that he would make waves in the dubstep community with his next release\, Callahan b/w Untitled\, after having remixed one of the scenes biggest tracks to date\, Benga & Cokis Night\, alongside Shy FX as Digital Soundboy. 2009 has seen Breakage cemented himself as one to watch across the British dance music press and taste-making elite. Following on from the superb Together earlier this year\, Breakage released Run Em Out feat. Roots Manuva b/w Higher this October and continues his good form with the thuggish reworked Hard feat. Newham Generals and David Rodigan released Dec 7th. Alongside his orginal recordings James has also recently turned in remixes for the likes of Sidney Sampson\, David Guetta and the legendary Aswad. Zane Lowe named ʻHardʼ as his ʻHottest Record In The Worldʼ on his Radio 1 show and heʼs gone on to gain massive support across the airwaves from the likes of has Annie Mac\, Mista Jam\, Rob Da Bank\, Giles Peterson\, Ras Kwame\, Toddla T\, Mary Anne Hobbs\, Sinden\, Nick Grimshaw\, John Kennedy\, DJ Bailey\, Semtex\, Joe Ransom & more. With his sophomore LP Foundation due for release in Feb 2010 on Digital Soundboy\, its sure to be another busy year ahead for Breakage. Features on the record come courtesy of Skream\, Burial\, Roots Manuva\, David Rodigan\, Newham Generals\, Kemo and more. Expect bass heavy quality music with a broad appeal. To quote a certain Mr. Roots Manuva... Breakage is a man with an ear for deep\, deep\, sub-sonic frequencies. He goes in low. I thinking hes talking to sea-life. Hes talking to the squid. His command of sound and the sheer amount of music he can squeeze from so little is phenomenal. Breakage generates bags of deep meditational vibes and effortless forward movement in equal measure. Sometimes simple really is the best IDJ Mag TOP TUNE 10/10 Breakages beats are packed with more beef than an Argentinean steakhouse DJ Mag Sept 2009 4/5 His half-step beats are pure catch your-breath tension.

Geissinger)\, is one of the biggest names in electronic music right now\, heading up the Streetbass crew and sound in his home base of Philadelphia\, PA. A North American ambassador for UK-dominated sounds\, his music encompasses hip-hop\, grime\, dubstep\, house\, and everything between\, all united by an unmatched ear for melodies and colourful\, almost psychedelic sounds. He’s been getting tons of attention from all over the place (his recent feature on the ResidentAdvisor Podcast series felt like a triumphant coup for the bass-inclined)\, and deservedly so: after a string of singles and EPs for a number of labels\, Starkey landed on Planet Mu in 2008 with his debut album Ephemeral Exhibits\, a record that blended the aggressive dubstep styles of Vex’d and Skream with a distinct hip-hop influence and an undeniable pop sensibility. Appearing on Mary Anne Hobbs’ “Generation Bass” special in 2008\, his profile skyrocketed and he released another string of massive twelves\, culminating with the grimy one-two punch of his Badness tune “OK Luv” on Planet Mu and the astral starscapes of his “Rain City” single on Rwina Records. This past month Starkey has just released his long-in-the-making second album Ear Drums And Black Holes for Planet Mu.

AMANDA RUDE & RHIA WELLBELOVE ******************************* $4.50 CORONA $4.50 TEQUILA **************************************************************** ***NEIGHBOUR-DJ/Guitar (Homebreakin/Punchout) One part sexy robot and one part aerobics instructor\, Matt Dauncey has managed to find the middle ground between music and athletics. By harnessing the power of wrestling suits\, tennis sweatbands\, vintage synthesizers\, and electric guitar\, Neighbour has tapped into an ancient power-source that has given him the capacity to conjure up frenzied dance floors wherever he is needed. Through a mysterious process that involves not one\, but TWO gigantic crystals\, the Homebreakin Records co-owner has managed to combine the raw ecstacy of the early days of disco with razor-sharp futuristic production. His hybrid DJ / live performance tore across the continent this year\, culminating in an incredible series of festival dates across western Canada\, including headlining slots at Shambhala 2009\, Soundwave\, Bass Coast Project\, Astral Harvest\, and Summer Break. In addition to playing almost 100% original production and remixes\, Neighbour plays live synthesizer and electric guitar alongside his legendary DJ sets\, which range from no-nonsense electric funk bangers to gorgeous technicolor remixes of classic garage\, disco\, and house music. Not one to be pigeonholed\, Neighbour has spent the better part of the last two years collaborating with everyone in sight. Upcoming dancehall tracks with Calgary’s Ouda Ouda\, boogie-raps with fellow performer MC ThinkTank\, and an unbelieveable slate of remixes and original releases guarantee that as soon as you think you know that “Neighbour Sound”\, it has grown into something completely different. Some people say that dance music isn’t as fun as it used to be; then again\, some people haven’t seen a grown man in a unitard shoot lazers out of his guitar far away into the night sky.

It’s as if the band has been sent on a mission to further spread their sound across the planet and out into the galaxy. They describe Planet Electric "as the buzz of the world that they are plugging into some large socket to electrify the people\, to charge up their energy". To capture that dynamism\, all o...f the tracks on the album were road-tested in front of live audiences before being recorded. Something else the band did differently from the last album was going on a writers’ retreat where they worked on the music day and night for ten days traight. The results are definitely more representative of Delhi 2 Dublin as a band and a noticeable progression. The icing on the cake was being able to get Diamond "DJ Swami" Duggal (Apache Indian/Maxi Priest/Nusrat Fateh Ali) to mix the tracks. Hour Magazine wrote that "Delhi 2 Dublin is the United Nations of rock ‘n’ roll". The Vancouver\, Canada-based band plays an energetic mash-up of Bhangra\, Celtic\, Dub\, Reggae and Electronica with global rhythms and club beats. Tarun Nayar\, Sanjay Seran\, Andrew Kim and avi Binning along with new members Jaron Freeman-Fox and Sara Fitzpatrick are diverse in both their backgrounds and musical influences. The band has been together almost five years and has released three albums including its latest\, Planet Electric. The album title is apt because the six musicians feel that they plug directly into the world’s music and energy. A live collaboration put together in 2006 as a one-off performance piece for a club night in Vancouver called Delhi to Dublin was so well-received that requests for additional performances led to the official formation of Delhi 2 Dublin. "Not being able to fit into any specific genre allows the band to create whatever we like and not be judged for it. Our audience expects nothing less." The band finds this advantageous for their live show as it enables them to create a low to their sets much like a DJ would for the dance floor. "Audiences love to see a band ranscending stereotypes and letting the music speak for itself". The Delhi 2 Dublin crew are road warriors. They have played major festivals in both Canada and he U.S. including Bumbershoot in Seattle\, Earthdance in California\, High Sierra in California\, Stern Grove in San Francisco as well as such diverse events as SXSW in Austin\, the Keelung City Ghost Festival in Taiwan and the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The band has an ambitious schedule planned for 2011 starting off with a handful of dates throughout the US\, as well as expanding horizons to include performances in the Pacific Rim and Europe. In addition\, on April 26th\, they will be releasing Planet: Electrified\, a remix album of the tracks from Planet Electric along with some specially recorded new songs. A new line-up\, a new album and new international touring opportunities all signal that originality and evolution are all part of the Delhi 2 Dublin experience. They have become one of Canada’s most buzzed-about bands and 2011 will only see them enhancing that reputation. After all\, where else are you going to see kick ass fiddle players rocking out with a kilt-wearing Korean flanked by two bouncing Bhangra percussionists and a vocalist who looks like he would be at home in a Bollywood music video?

It is going to be a good time. Our capacity is limited so make sure to buy a pre-sale ticket for guaranteed entrance. This event will sell out. __________________________________________ ★Mathew Jonson★ (Wagon Repair/Minus) www.wagonrepair.ca Mathew Jonson really is one of a kind. He's developed one of the most distinctive voices in electronic dance music: when you hear one of Jonson's tracks\, you almost immediately know it's his. And yet there's no mistaking any given track for another. His music offers a rare fusion of populist intensities and nuanced musicality. With a keen understanding for the needs of the dancefloor and the universal laws of house and techno\, he's thrown out the rule book time and time again\, sneaking tricks learned from electro and even drum'n'bass into minimal clubs\, and loading up his B-sides with tracks that do what they damned well please. (No kick drum? No problem.) His standards for sound and presentation are exacting. Both on stage and in the studio\, Jonson's fealty to analog equipment and real-time play—as opposed to mere playback—serves as a standardbearer for a kind of electronic music that goes way beyond the drag 'n' drop world of digital composition. Jonson has always been eager to get his hands dirty\, and the music reflects that in gnarled bass sequences and long\, intuitive lines. His sounds have serious teeth. And despite his quick ascent through the ranks of the techno elite\, Jonson hasn't just stayed personally grounded. He's devoted much of his energy to supporting his own close musical family\, both in the groups Cobblestone Jazz and the Modern Deep Left Quartet\, and with his Wagon Repair label\, which he cofounded with Jesse Fisk\, Graham and Adam Boothby\, Frank Meyerhofer and Konrad Black. His first record\, in 2001\, was the first release on the B.C. label Itiswhatitis\, appropritately titled "New Identity." Another followed in 2002\, and in 2003. That year\, he also made his first appearance on Perlon\, "Alpine Rocket"—a track he recorded alongside Luciano during his first trip to Europe. And then\, suddenly\, Jonson was everywhere: Itiswhatitis\, Sub Static\, Arbutus\, Kompakt\, M_nus—and every track an anthem. In 2005\, Jonson co-founded Wagon Repair\, and it's been a blur since\, a nonstop series of tours and recordings\, solo and with his bandmates. Crucially\, he moved to Berlin. Here\, he and de la Plante—who moved over at the same time—have set up Cobblestone Jazz' European headquarters\, providing not only the launch pad for European tours but\, more importantly\, the control center for the group's recorded activities. The studio is jawdropping\, frankly: a semi-circle full of gear\, from old workhorses like the 808 and 909 and SH-101 to unique beasts like their Cwejman and Roland System 100m modular system. Tate's Rhodes piano anchors one corner of the horseshoe\, and everything feeds into a massive desk where tracks are mixed and recorded in real-time. Jonson makes his own music essentially the same way—only with two hands instead of eight. Those two hands have come up with some remarkable material. Having perfected his brand of earthshaking epic with tracks like "Marionette\," "Return of the Zombie Bikers" and "Symphony for the Apocalypse\," Jonson has increasingly turned his efforts towards more personal\, introspective music. He hasn't left the clubs behind—his new album\, Agents of Time\, features a number of tracks that are as hip-windingy wily as anything he's produced yet\, full-on tracks like "Girls Got Rhythm" and "Thieves in Digital Land." But he's also taken advantage of the longplayer format to stretch out and indulge darker moods and slower tempos. You can expect him to be unlocking even more emotions soon—ones you may not have even known you had—when he ramps up with Midnight Operator\, a collaboration with his brother Nathan Jonson\, aka Hrdvsion. With Nathan also based in Berlin\, the two are finding common musical ground\, expanding upon the platform they established with their lone\, 2007 EP for Wagon Repair as they begin work on an album.

TODDLA T [U.K.] (BBC Radio 1/In New DJs We Trust) http://www.toddlat.com/ http://www.facebook.com/toddlat & ROSKA [U.K.] http://www.roska.co.uk/ http://www.facebook.com/Roskaroskaroska + MAX ULIS (Lighta!) http://soundcloud.com/maxulis FRIDAY/SEPTEMBER 30th at CELEBRITIES NIGHTCLUB 1022 Davie St. Tickets available online now: http://blueprintevents.ca/events/33322/614/TODDLA-T-and-ROSKA----STEREOTYPE-Celebrities-Nightclub.html TODDLA T: Urban regeneration has been slow and piecemeal. Sheffield still has its rough edges. Culturally and politically\, the fabled People’s Republic of South Yorkshire\, is still distinct and separate. No more so than in its music. Post-punk\, Sheffield’s tight-knit music scene has produced pop stars (Human League\, ABC); Peel-favourites (Pulp\, Long Blondes); underground icons (Add N To X); local legends (Chicken Legs Weaver); one-hit wonders (Baby Bird\, I Monster); cult concerns (Fat Truckers); rave royalty (Moloko). All of them\, however\, have shared one key characteristic: wilful individuality. All of them did it their way. Now\, add 23 year-old Tom Bell\, aka. Toddla T\, to that illustrious\, awkward list. A lanky streak of gabbling enthusiasm\, through 2008\, Toddla’s Fill Up Mi Portion\, Soundtape Killin’ and Manabadman singles\, not to mention his brilliant Ghettoblaster No.1 mixtape download\, announced him as British dance music’s brightest new talent. His influences – that “clangy Sheffield electronic sound” first minted by Cabaret Voltaire; local speed garage variant\, bassline; early Warp Records’ bleep techno – may be peculiarly South Yorkshire\, but Britain hasn’t heard party music this raw and vibrant since early Basement Jaxx. “I was conscious people might find it a bit ‘aggro’\,” says Toddla. “But when I DJ\, there’s so many girls into it. It’s mad. I thought I made boy music\, but no\, luckily.” Consequently\, Toddla\, who recently inked a long-term deal with 1965 Records\, is a man in demand. His DJing schedule\, which includes a monthly residency at Fabric\, is packed; he’s involved in numerous side-projects\, such as Herv and Sinden’s Machines Don’t Care collective; and\, often working with his friend and studio mentor\, Ross Orton (the man who reinforced MIA’s early work with Sheffield steel)\, TT been busy remixing the likes of Esser\, Little Boots\, Ladyhawke\, Hot Chip and Tricky. The son of two college lecturers\, Toddla grew up in Sheffield\, on the same road – “Bleep Street\,” laughs Toddla – as Warp co-founder Rob Gordon. As a kid\, Toddla loved Biggie and right boyish hip-hop”. Aged 15\, he was already making rudimentary bedroom beats\, and cultivating his love of reggae and dancehall. Toddla’s transforming moment\, however\, came a few years later. Then working in a local clothes shop\, Sumo\, the older staff (who nicknamed him Toddla) would take him along to “little parties” run by legendary Sheffield DJs Winston Hazel and Pipes. “It opened my mind\,” he says\, of the pair’s Steel City eclecticism. “I didn’t like techno or house until I heard it put together in that certain way. It’s the electronic sonics of it\, I think. They’d play garage\, dancehall\, techno\, whatever\, but the music would always have a bassline\, and it’d be quite tough\, but still wiggly for the girls. It was amazing.” Pipes and Hazel took Toddla under their wing and\, remarkably\, aged 19\, he started to play Kabal – an irregular series of raves in warehouses\, churches\, morgues – alongside his new heroes. Not that that was the only Sheffield influence seeping into Toddla’s music. Simultaneously\, he was absorbing the rise of niche\, or bassline\, and also exploring another side of Sheffield’s love of “tough riffs and bass”. If the Kabal lot were the club side of the Sheffield sound\, musician/ producer Ross Orton (Fat Truckers) and Parrot (Sweet Exorcist\, All Seeing I\, White Trash) were their close sonic cousins\, who had taken the same sounds in a more pop direction. Mixing punchy\, shunting ragga basslines\, wired electronics and Human League hooks\, they had honed a uniquely Sheffield electro sound: tough\, compact\, discordant\, poppy. Orton\, who knew Toddla through mutual friends\, was one of the first people to spot his potential. After seeing Toddla – who\, at the time\, was one-half of duo\, Small Arms Fiya – work his fast-fingered magic on a laptop\, Orton recommended him to Kenwood\, a local Sheffield studio who were looking for a resident engineer. At Kenwood\, Toddla\, who had previously dropped out of a Music Technology course at Leeds College of Music\, worked with everyone from Roots Manuva (Toddla would later contribute three tracks to Rodney’s Slime & Reason album) to pop band 411. It taught him one valuable lesson: “In the studio\, pop stars fuck up like your mates do when you’re messing about. It doesn’t matter if you’ve sold a billion records or ten. Everyone’s the same. That’s what I learned.” It’s still barely 18 months since Toddla wrote the Do You Know? “riddim” – all his tracks start out\, reggae-style\, as riddims\, which are then versioned by different vocalists – which became his first 1965 release. Fill Up Mi Portion (a ragga-tronic romp about a desperate\, hungry man) and the Lilly Nash/ Kate Winehouse-teasing Backchatter\, which is barely recognisable as the same track\, marked Toddla out as one to watch. Seismic follow up\, Soundtape Killin’\, and its hilarious DIY video – think: Daft Punk\, on a budget\, in Broomhall – heralded another sharp spike in interest\, with Toddla grabbing column inches everywhere from NME to The Guardian. Unashamedly\, Toddla wants his music to be fun. Manabadman was wildly misinterpreted in some quarters as a comment on UK knife crime. In fact\, the vocal by MC Serocee\, Toddla’s hype man when he DJs\, is a classic piece of ludicrous MC boasting. It puts the ill in silly. Like Toddla’s other regular vocalists\, Trigganom and Mr Versatile\, Serocee has a rich sense of the absurd\, hence the references to Louis Armstrong and oompah loompahs. “Sonically\, I’m right serious about the music. It stresses me\,” says Toddla. “But it’s gotta be a laugh. Otherwise\, what’s the point? I might as well work in a bank.” That attitude will\, undoubtedly\, feed into Toddla’s debut album. But\, it’s also an album that\, in its genre-smashing irreverence\, laugh-out-loud rhymes and jump-up\, energy\, will have something significant and positive to say about modern Britain. “I want it to represent how I was brought up\, where it\, literally\, didn’t matter who you were\,” explains Toddla. “My neighbours are Jamaican\, British white\, an Asian kid. I want it to represent that. Which is why I’m so happy about a track I’m working on with Joe [Goddard\, Hot Chip] and Benjamin Zephaniah. It represents that total mix: a geek from London and a right deep British Jamaican geezer. When it drops\, mid 2009\, that album could well turn Toddla T into a crossover star. There is no danger\, however\, of it going to his head. Not in Sheffield\, anyway. “I’m definitely staying here\,” says the man who\, walking up Division Street\, bumps into a mate every few feet. “If I moved to London I’d just start playing fucking electro in Shoreditch.” In Sheffield\, by way of contrast\, Toddla’s tight network is already working hard to ensure that he doesn’t turn into\, well\, a “knobhead”. Toddla smiles: “It’s healthy. Pipes is already caning me. When I told him about Manabadman being single of the week in NME\, he just went\, ‘don’t get too big for your boots or tha’ll get a clip’. Cheers? Congratulations? None of that shit. It’s just not happening.” Don’t worry. In the coming months\, Toddla will be getting enough plaudits elsewhere. That’s guaranteed. Ladies and gentlemen\, say “ey up” to Sheffield’s ambassador to the planet’s dancefloors. Now\, watch him tear them up… ROSKA: As we enter 2011 Roska stands at the forefront of the strand of British rave music typically referred to as\, “Funky”. Years of long days and nights beyond the eye of the raver\, have pushed him toward perceived overnight success on the dancefloor\, his records are played by DJs including Skream\, Benga\, Kode9\, Joker and Diplo. However\, Roska’s meteoric rise is owed to his unerring passion and work-rate\, with some notable milestones along the way. Rewind to Winter 2007\, a select number of DJs from the then nascent evolution of British rave music\, namely Marcus Nasty and Supa D\, took a punt on some early production from the young South Londoner. The weeks that followed saw Roska’s inbox inundated with requests for the tune as word got around that his was the name behind the jacking\, minimal riddim\, ‘Feline’. Throughout 2008 Roska’s productions found their way into the boxes of tastemakers including Geeneus\, Kode9\, Cooly G and as the press began investigating the burgeoning Funky scene Roska’s name would appear again and again. In April 2009 Roska was offered a coveted residency on Britains leading underground music station Rinse FM after impressing Geeneus with a number cover shows at the tail end of 2008. This became a huge catalyst for Roska’s career as his audience\, which was previously drip-fed riddims at dances and via blogsites\, were now being exposed to two hour slots showcasing his production and DJ techniques. As is the beauty of radio\, he was able to road-test production which may not have seen the light of the DJ booth. Word spread around the campfire; Roska has riddims. Must have riddims. And he has em in mamouth supply. 2010 and Ink barely dry on his recording contract with Rinse Recordings (Katy B /P Money / Jamie George)\, Mary Anne Hobbs would announce Roska in her select lineup for the BBC1 Radio 1 stage at Sonár festival; the same stage which announced Skream\, Kode9 and Joker to an international audience. Roska brought with him Jamie George\, the voice behind 2009’s ubiquitous ‘Wonderful Day’ and the pair had 8\,500 festival goers jacking into twilight hours. Roska returned from Barcelona with reinforced vigour\, producing more records than any one label could hope to release in a year; 2010 saw his album drop on Rinse with 12” singles on his own imprint Roska Kicks & Snares\, Numbers and unfathomable amount of records which though heard on sets on radio and in a rave Roska never found time to release. At time of writing he’s just finished a production for Scuba’s label Hotflush. Remixes to his name including those for Zed Bias\, Four Tet and Martyn. A host of major UK and european dates including Glastonbury\, Lowlands Festival\, Global Gathering\, FWD>> + Rinse\, Bloc (which Wire magazine called their “highlight of the festival”) and a N. America tour all added more pressure the momentum building behind Roska throughout 2010. Add to that an incendiary Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1\, and entry into Playground magazines top 50 tunes of the year with ‘Love 2 Nite’ and 2011 opens its curtains with Roska at boiling point. http://www.blueprintevents.ca/ LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/toddla-t-roska/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20110925 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20110926 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20110819T013903 LAST-MODIFIED:20110819T013903 UID:2164@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Dirtyphonics at Fortune DESCRIPTION:MSH Sessions presents DIRTYPHONICS [Dim Mak / France) www.facebook.com/dirtyphonics w/ Pacific + Guest Ticket Available at the following outlets: http://www.clubzone.com/events/386140/vancouver/fortune-sound-club/dirtyphonics-live www.mshsessions.com Beatstreet Records (604) 683-3344 Zulu Records (604) 738-3232 DRESS CODE: No Ed Hardy\, Jersey Shore\, Affliction\, Tapout\, SMET\, Christian Audiger etc...you and your rhinestones are not welcome here.

Since the release of their fourth album\, ‘More!’\, the Berlin-based duo\, Arno Kammermeier and Walter Merziger\, have been touring almost non-stop. And loving every minute of it. Personal highlights\, such as performing live on BBC Radio 1\, to help celebrate legendary radio DJ Annie Nightingale's 40th broadcasting anniversary\, or rocking Europe’s foremost electronic music event\, Sonar\, capped a whirlwind year which included tours of Australia\, Brazil\, the UK and the US (including a show at Colorado's iconic Red Rocks amphitheatre). One of those rare electronic music acts who channel the spirit and sounds of underground techno\, but who can rock any festival crowd\, Booka Shade\, increasingly\, find themselves winning over new fans across the rock and dance music tribes. Late last year\, for instance\, as they prepared for a winter tour of Australia - with the mixed rock ‘n’ dance festival\, Big Day Out - Booka Shade were voted one of the world’s Top 5 live acts by the cutting-edge electronic music hub\, Resident Advisor. That perfectly illustrates how\, in 2011\, they transcend borders and genres. In a way\, that broad appeal is no surprise. Yes\, Booka Shade make dance music\, but it is dance music which audibly absorbs influences from everywhere: classical\, rock\, jazz\, dubstep. Throughout their 25 years making music together\, Arno and Walter have found it impossible to restrict themselves to one set sound or scene. Early on\, back in their native Saarbruecken\, they made electronic-pop\, as Planet Claire\, later - having been seduced by Frankfurt's then vibrant club scene - they released numerous underground dance tracks\, including the huge crossover hit\, 'Una Musica Senza Ritmo'\, as Degeneration. By the mid 1990s\, bored with formulaic club music\, they decided to start working as movie soundtrack composers and (rather bizarrely) producers-for-hire\, writing pop hits for German major labels. That turned out to be a rather depressing period\, musically. One they would sooner forget. Indeed\, it wasn’t until 2002\, when Booka Shade moved to Berlin and formed the label/ production house\, Get Physical Music - with M.A.N.D.Y and the then Groove Magazine editor\, Thomas 'DJ T' Koch - that Arno and Walter finally felt that they had total musical freedom. It was a creative rebirth. "Before\," says Arno\, of their time as pop producers\, "we didn't give a shit. Now\, every note counts." The story since then is one that many of you will know. Under Booka Shade´s production aegis\, Get Physical became one of modern Berlin's key dance music labels\, while\, on their own artist albums\, ‘Memento‘\, ‘Movements’\, ‘The Sun & The Neon Light‘ and most recently 'More!'. They also became highly sought after remixers\, lending their production magic to respected artists such as; Depeche Mode\, Moby\, Yello\, Hot Chip\, Roxy Music\, Kings Of Leon\, Tiga\, Dave Gahan and The Knife. Booka Shade had developed a uniquely melodic and emotionally rich brand of contemporary techno. This was club music\, but club music built to last. "This sounds basic\, but it's all about expressing how you feel\, your personality\," says Arno. "Anybody can produce a nice\, functional club track\, but to produce something personal - music that is the essence of who you are - that is much more difficult. And it gets more difficult the further we go with Booka Shade.” Walter\, the production brains of the outfit\, nods: "We've produced thousands of tracks together. By now\, we have an almost psychic musical connection. But we're still constantly interrogating what we do. Is it fresh? Is it different? When you stop questioning your work\, it's time to give up." It was this constant questioning\, which\, with 'More!'\, led Booka Shade to rethink their approach. In contrast to previous albums\, it was built from the dance floor up. Every track\, from the pixelated ear-worm\, 'Donut'\, to that ethereal rave anthem\, 'Regeneration' (which reached No.2 in the Beatport chart)\, started out as a killer club groove which Arno and Walter then worked around. It received reams of positive press and an iTunes Top 20 chart placing\, but\, finally\, it is time to draw that era to a close. Fourth single\, ’Scaramanga’\, released in May 2011\, will be the last salvo from the 'More!' sessions. It's a fresh start for Booka Shade in other areas\, too. After almost 10 years\, Arno\, Walter and DJ T recently handed over control of Get Physical to their co-founders Philipp Jung and Patrick Bodmer (aka M.A.N.D.Y)and Peter Hayo. Rest assured: there was no drama. No falling out. And Arno and Walter are still making music with M.A.N.D.Y (check the new DJ-mix 'Body Language Vol.10' for a preview of their latest collaboration\, 'Home'). Elsewhere\, look out for fresh dates in Asia\, Europe and the US\, and\, of course\, a host of Booka Shade festival appearances through summer 2011. __________________________________________ ★ DelayNoMore ★ (Abasi + Ceebas) (redlounge.ca / Intimate) [Vancouver] DelayNoMore is the dynamic duo of Abasi + DJ Ceebas.

Since joining forces in 2004 they have at- tained a world wide cult following and shared the stage with an impressive list of interna- tional talents\, including DJ Z-Trip\, Bassnectar\, Afrika Bambaataa\, Q-Bert\, DJ NuMark\, Stan- ton Warriors\, Shy FX\, Zion I\, South Rakkas Crew and many more. On the strength of their diverse and bass heavy 2 x 4 sets\, they have rocked clubs across the country and become mainstays of Vancouver’s night life scene. Wood ‘n’ Soo are seasoned crate diggers\, raised in the age of vinyl LPs and 12” singles. The onset of the digital era has done nothing to diminish their hunger for fresh new sounds. While rocking the party remains first priority\, the duo refuse to be pigeon-holed into any par- ticular genre or style of DJing. Hip hop\, Funk\, Disco & Reggae form the roots of their sound\, while their sets branch out to include an array of styles from past to present. Many of today’s digital jocks are content to please crowds with only the most tried & true chart toppers but Wood ‘n’ Soo are relentless taste makers\, mix- ing future classics and exclusive bangers into every set. Whether individually or as a team\, these two vets bring the ruckus where ever they go. *** SLOW DJS (ricco & vinne) ricco & vinnie have been involved in the Vancouver electronic music scene for 13 years strong. Drawing their inspiration from the golden era hip hop culture in the early 90s\, the late 90s rave days of breaks and house as well as the drum and bass massive in the early 2000s\, their ears have been technically trained for most sounds left of center. Recent inspiration from the nu-disco\, glitch hop and dub-step sounds have made this Dj team two sophisticated dance-floor robots with a record collection that spans the last few decades. Having shared the decks with major players like Mark Farina\, 36 Mafia\, Derrick Carter\, Dj Spider\, Pigeon John\, Gene Farris\, Neighbour\, Rich Medina\, Disco Villains\, Japanese Popstars\, Dj Illo\, Sandy Rivera\, Dj Fashen\, East Coast Boogiemen and more\, ricco & vinnie have had their fair share of “good times.” Check them out on their webpage: http://slowdjs.com/ Twitter: @slowdjs ~~Fanpage:~~ http://www.facebook.com/pa​ges/Slowdjs/18470766155844​4 ~~Lattest Mix:~~ http://soundcloud.com/ricc​o-1/r-i-c-c-o-vinnie-oh-hi ==========================​================= LET THE GOOD F&*KING TIMES ROLL!!!

The man in question\, Anthony Traynor\, is responsible for some of the biggest dance floor bangers in the scene. Heralded as “Man of the Moment” (Fat Drop UK) he has numerous top 10 releases on dubstep’s biggest labels (BOKA\, Z Audio\, Black Acre\, Fabric) and has emerged as one of the hottest names on the international DJ circuit. His cutting edge style has been in great demand for remix and collaboration projects for scene powerhouse producers such as 16 bit\, Bassnectar and Breaks legend Freq Nasty with major support coming from N-type\, Glitch Mob\, Akira Kiteshi\, Radio 1 DJ Kissy Sell Out amongst others. Not only a dubstep don\, his previous incarnation as “BreakBeatBuddha” helped forge the now lauded California Glitch Hop scene alongside such artists as Edit and Lazer Sword. As PropaTingz he has made a triumphant return to his to his UK underground roots but to see how he got here lets rewind and take it from the edge....... The PropaTingz sound was born in the violent and depressed surroundings of late 80s inner city UK and forged in the fire of the Drum and Bass moshpit. That raw and aggressive sound left an indelible mark on the ambitious angst ridden youth that would last as he embarked on a journey that took him around the globe. After becoming disenchanted with both the UK music scene (after the governments clamping down on illegal raves in the form of the Criminal Justice Bill) and society he left for America and dove headlong into meditation study. During this period he discovered the burgeoning West Coast Burning Man scene. It was was in the dust and the heat of the playa that BreakBeatBuddha was born. In 2007 and 2008 the releases “Mind Bombin” and “The New Resistance” took the west coast scene by storm and established him as a permanent fixture on the circuit. 2009 saw the first PropaTingz releases\, the first of which\, “Peacemaker”\, made it on to the seminal Fabric Live mix CD\, mixed by Freq Nasty. “Babylons Scared ft Dakini” (Audio Freaks) followed close behind with the mighty 16 bit on remix duties\, described by Boomkat as “a technological murder weapon”; In 2010 the pace quickened as Propa took turns on the remix duties remixing 16 bits slaughter house dubstep anthem “Chainsaw Calligraphy” (BOKA). His crunk step take on the original\, described by ST Holdings as “devastating\, pure and simple” earned him accolades and established him as a major player in genre.“PoorManStyle/Wicked​est Sound” (Of Road/Black acre) found its way to Kissy Sell Outs “Young Blood” feature on BBC Radio 1 and was an instant dubstep rave smash. “Hustle Hard/Stay Alive” (Bad Acid/Black Acre) saw Propa return to his UK grime roots and was described by the listening booth as “a leviathan of block rocking bass science...” THE FUTURE; look forward to a slew of remixes in the pipeline\, an EP and World Tour.....the word on the street is that there is a live project in the mix too....Big Tingz Indeed!

(Twisted Music UK) www.ottsonic.net Adham Skaikh (Sonic Turtle) ...www.sonicturtle.com/ ShaMANoiD (SomaSoundSystem) www.ShaMANoiD.com + More t.b.c. Full Bio: Ott: Ott has produced\, arranged and recorded for world famous artists including Sinead O'Connor\, The Orb\, and Brian Eno. Working in a wide range of the best studios in the UK from Butterfly Studios (KLF\, Orb) \, SARM East and West\, Real World (Peter Gabriel) \, and Ridge Farm to Foel in Wales. Ott's music career and reputation really took off after his remixes of classic Hallucinogen (Simon Posford from Shpongle) trance tracks and release them as dub mixes - slower\, fatter and more chillout friendly. In 2002 the album "Hallucinogen in Dub" was released via Twisted Records to universal acclaim. Buoyed by the success of "Hallucinogen in Dub"\, the following year Ott gathered together and released his earlier sonic experiments as the album "Blumenkraft" which was also very well received and which attracted a great many listeners around the world. The next few years passed in a whirl of gigs\, remixes [Shpongle\, Entheogenic\, Tripswitch] and collaborative projects - "Umberloid" with friend and multi-instrumentalist Chris Barker\, and "Gargoyles" with Simon Posford [Hallucinogen\, Shpongle]. During this time Ott travelled the world\, got married\, welcomed his daughter Daisy to the world and wrote his third album "Skylon" - which was released on Twisted Records in early 2008. He recently settled on the Mediterranean coast of Spain with his wife and daughter and is currently working on several projects - an "Umberloid" album with Chris Barker for Interchill Records. He just released earlier this year one of the best electronica albums of 2011 - Mir Adham Shaikh: As a music producer and composer\, Shaikh skillfully weaves organic and electronic sounds into global music tapestries that take listeners on sonic journeys transcending time and place. He has released 10 albums and many individual compositions\, among them the 2004 release\, Fusion\, which was nominated for a Juno Award (Canadian Grammy) in the World Music category. Music labels from around the globe have released his music\, including Interchill\, Dakini Records\, Electronic Soundscapes\, Liquid Sound Design\, Native State\, One World Music\, Water Music\, Nia\, Sounds True\, Stoned Asia\, and the infamous Six Degrees. Recently\, Shaikh co-produced and mixed the award-winning debut CD for global fusion group Delhi 2 Dublin\, and has finished re-mixing tracks for internationally renowned world fusion artists Nickodemus\, Deya Dova\, Kaya Project\, Tripswitch and David Starfire. Shaikh has most recently completed remixes for Stephen Kent\, Omar Faruk Tekbilek \, Issa Bagayogo \, Ganga Giri \, and the Footsteps in Africa Project (Turag remix) Shaikh’s work as both a live performer and a DJ has taken him to international festivals\, events\, and night clubs\, including the Waveform Festival (UK)\, Samothraki Dance Festival (Greece)\, Dakini Nights (Tokyo)\, Luminate (New Zealand)\, The Maori Peace Festival at Parihaka (New Zealand)\, and Boom Festival (Portugal). He has toured extensively across Canada\, with highlight performances at the Vancouver Folk Festival\, Vancouver Jazz Festival\, and the Shambhala Music Festival. 2010 highlights include headlining sets at Basscoast Festival\, Shambhala Festival and Entheos Festival ShaMANoiD: The ShaMANoiD is the bridge between the ancient spiritual and ancestral worlds of the Shaman and the magic in the technology of the future. A fusion of cutting edge electronica and acoustic tribal\, ethnic and world music. A blend of electronic production with live instrumentation incorporating live sitar\, drums\, percussion\, bass and synths. ShaMANoiD's music was initially created especially for the SomaSoundSystem\, which organised unique and secret Electro Tribal Gatherings at sacred sites in Mexico. Such as on top of Mayan temples\, inside sacred caves (Cenotes)\, deserts jungles and volcanoes to coincide with special celestial dates. (full moons\, equinoxes\, eclipses etc) ShaMANoiD is created by British producer Stef Soma\, whom also created and is known as Divine Soma Experiment\, the SomaSoundSystem and DJ Soma. The act has toured Japan\, China\, Bali\, Thailand\, Honduras\, Belize\, Guatemala\, Mexico\, USA\, Canada\, UK\, France\, Switzerland\, Spain and most of Western Europe\, playing festivals and other 'underground' venues. In less than 6 months ShaMANoiD\, hit No1 in the electronic music charts for BC\, Canada and No 16 Globally [reverbnation]\, supported Bluetech and performed main slots/headlined Intention\, Entheos Gathering\, Diversity Festival\, Towards Eden Festival\, Sound Clash Of The Titans etc. ShaMANoiD's live shows sometimes in 5.1 surround sound and employ use of dramatic and dynamic synchronization of visual effects and projections.

As always expect a huge clean sound\, (supplied by Darby and his crew) Mile's amazing laser\, good good vibes\, and the very best in underground sounds! CARLO LIO ... ....If music is the Universal language then Toronto Native\, Carlo Lio is surely multilingual. It is this universal appeal that has allowed Carlo to speak to so many people without ever having to say a word. His ability to capture sounds and emit them so expressively is a gift. Music has always been a priority in Carlo’s life; anyone who witnesses him gracing the decks can attest to this. Carlo can turn a careful observer into a dancer through the raw emotion and passion in his music. Music is a language; it is a means of connectivity\, intimacy and communication and Carlo has brilliantly captured and shared this with his fans. As a DJ\, producer: & businessman. His continued efforts both in and out of the booth have paid off. Teaming up with studio partner Nathan Barato to create Rawthentic Music\, Carlo has been pounding out numerous quality hits which have received plenty of local & International support. His unique signature style that’s driven by a relentless\, sexy\, hypnotic\, techy groove is sure to leave you mesmerized. Carlo has so instinctively tapped into that ‘human experience’ that millions of club goers have sought after and has taken so many on a journey into sound. With his flawless and imaginative mixing and his mind-blowing programming\, Carlo preaches a gospel of repetitive beats. His fast\, deep pulsing tech-house\, or groovy\, chuggy minimal are inspirational and he credits his latest sound to three of his most current influences; Mastiksoul\, Marco Carola and Loco Dice. Carlo is a musical visionary and a leader in Toronto’s club culture.. If you have a yearning hunger for the beat\, just open wide; Carlo will satisfy your mind\, body and soul and leave you salivating for more.

More than just bangers\, more than just dubstep\, this is the sound of emotion. Mutt I call him Canada's Calibre. A humble and tasteful producer with sounds to tear your heartstrings while celebrating the human emotion. He's well known at Soundwave and in Victoria\, as well as across the pond with releases on Fokuz\, Spearhead\, Soundtrax and more. http://www.myspace.com/mut​tdnb LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/calibre-von-d/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20110820 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20110821 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20110704T121856 LAST-MODIFIED:20110704T121856 UID:1432@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Sequential Circus 9 DESCRIPTION:DJ Lace http://djlace.com/ Genre: Audio/Visual House/Techno Longwalkshortdock http://www.longwalkshortdock.com/ Genre: Party Music MistrWOLF http://www.soundcloud.com/mistrwolf http://www.facebook.com/mistrwolf Genre: Dubstep\, D&B\, Drumstep\, Girl Rock. noCore http://creativefrequencies.com/nocore Genre: Taal Mala http://www.soundcloud.com/taalmala Genre: Analogue Hardware Acid Thought Photography http://soundcloud.com/thoughtphotography Genre: Psychedelic/Binaural Breakbeat/Wow and Flutter LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/sequential-circus-9/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20110819 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20110820 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20110704T121536 LAST-MODIFIED:20110819T015054 UID:1429@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:Silkie, Addison Groove, Librarian + DESCRIPTION:LOW INDIGO & W2 PRESENT..

Thanks to massive amounts of support we've managed to obtain a 60-day extension\, but we're not out of the woods yet. If having an affordable\, accessible space for home-grown art and music in the Downtown Eastside is important to you\, please come down and show your support. Five dollars gets you in\, five dollars gets you a membership in our non-profit society. Due to the terms of our agreement with the city\, we can only do small\, members-only events this summer\, so if you don't want to miss out\, shell out! And if you've got anything at all nice to say about us\, if you have a particular reason for which the Red Gate has been indispensable or inspirational to you\, or if you're just bummed at all the interesting spaces always getting shut down\, please please please send letters of support to redgate@at.org - we'll use these in our negotiations with the city\, the owner\, funding agencies etc\, to show that they're dealing with not just a few weirdos\, but an entire scene.

Long considered one of Vancouver’s best party-rocking DJs\, SOO has spent the last ten years perfecting his craft and honing his skills – mixing\, cutting\, and blending a range of different styles while keeping heads nodding and bodies moving. DJ Soo [Ghetto F...unk\, East Van Digital\, woodnsoo.com] While better known for multi genre party rocking\, he's stoked for a chance to go back to the old school\, back to his roots with some good old Drum and Bass. Also on for the night\, Deener from the Vancity Junglists has an energy and infectious positive vibe that is guaranteed to warm your soul. http://soundcloud.com/deener Kir Mokum on the warm up. Still just $6 at the Beautiful Back Stage Lounge. ------------------------------------------------ http://www.woodnsoo.com/ https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=126806087361168 http://soundcloud.com/kir_mokum ------------------------------------------------ LOCATION: URL:http://shahdjs.com/event/backstage-lounge-dj-soo/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20110630 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20110701 DTSTAMP:20120518T111628 CREATED:20110629T222940 LAST-MODIFIED:20110630T195337 UID:1201@http://shahdjs.com SUMMARY:NU:TONE + SHIMON DESCRIPTION:After the success of our Netsky and High Contrast shows\, and the much anticipated Sub Focus show\, we proudly bring Hospital and Ram together with this stacked double headliner show on Canada Day Weekend.
