Winnipeg’s favourite anti-ravers DJ HUNNICUTand DJ CO-OP are proud hosts of their weekly DAY OLD DONUTS. This week they’re bringing in a pair of the EH TEAM, DJ Pump and DJ Jr-Flo. Should be a mad presentation of skillz on the ones and twos from some of Canada’s finest. Don’t believe me, check out the KEYS N KRATES footage of their live remixes. Here’s a sneak:
Before you flip, here’s a point of clarification. DJ Jr-Flo is part of the Eh Team, as well as Keys N Krates. This little vid showcases the man’s talents. You can grab all that action for only $5 - check it out at the HiFi Club Thursday, October 9.
It’s funny how much rap I listen to these days. Just kidding. It’s all about the REEEEEEEEEMIX! Check out the ATL connection with BIG GIPP beLOW courtesy of SCION A/V.
Fool’s Gold recording artist TREASURE FINGERS is making considerable noise these days with his robotdisco steez. This tune brings out the roller disco flava with it’s round bassline and singing synth. Can’t wait to see him live in this fair city later this month!
KLEVER bumps up the tempo on his remix of this tune, giving more credence to the track’s title - this is serious dancefloor heat in the form of big-room electro. Get blazin!
DJ ROB WONDER flips the tune into a Baltimore Club thumper. The drums take center stage on Mr. Wonder’s version and they swing like crazy over a simple but hard horn-like synth loop.
The superstar, in demand, duo from Toronto are touring and they hit the fair city of Winnipeg Saturday, October 4 and I can’t wait. The last time MSTRKRFT were here they were on a tour for Trojan Condoms and it seemed like no one knew who they were considering the venue was barely half full. This time around I expect things to be a bit different. For one, I think the show’s nearly sold out already.
Also, Vancouver’s producer and remixer FELIX CARTAL provides support, along side local jock Dougie B. It should be a evening of maximalism and aural destruction transposed into a sweaty mess.
Last winter local party enthusiasts THE NUTTY KLUB booked THE GLAMOUR to play at a metal bar called the Albert here in Winnipeg. I know there are better things to talk about other than the weather - uh, like fear mongering propaganda behind every single Republican election campaign, but Milwaukee’s best neon revitalists, THE GLAMOUR,were snowed in and couldn’t make it to the gig. Even without the headliners the event was a bit over the top.
Well, they’re playing at The Pyramid this Friday, July 25. Jason and I are giving away two pairs of tickets on our show THE SHAKE (facebook group). We roll every Friday night from 8-9 on 92.9 KICK FM, and play an aural potluck of electro, robotdisco, mashups, club whathaveyou. You can think of it as a warmup for the evening and maybe win a pair of tickets courtesy of MIKE B.
