Givin Ya Watcha Watcha Watcha Want!

The Beasties have been around. I swear I was listening to "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" when I was 6. 20 years later we are looking at an instrumental album called the Mix-Up dropping on June 26th. A bunch of tour dates for that europe trip. Just finished impressing the Sasquatches. And it looks like they are just giving away acappellas. So Mash-Up DJs your wet dream has been materialized.. 34 classic Beastie vocals.. It should get interesting.

Night @ The Guv

My Saturday was banal, at the best. T-Dot mediocrity. Went to a seminar, saw some movies, had some convos about what people need to do to get it poppin in the rap game. Decided that was draining me, I went to grab food, had an inkling of what I was gonna do that same evening. But until a convo with a girl connected changed the direction of the night. I went to see A-Trak's DJ set @ D'Luxe in the Guvernment.

Good thing I've been in the game long enough to have broken bread w/ the potentially mean bouncers of the Guv. Breezing through to the lounge, I met up with upcoming mogul/rapper Chris S who provided a video release of his new track "Clap 2 This" featuring vet, G Wunder.

Waiting for the A-Trak set gave me a chance to survey the room. Imagine 19yr old suburban kids who came out for a Girls Gone Wild night. Scenesters with the latest streetwear choosing to spend a grip on a 24 of Heineken @ the bar instead of a bottle - BRILLIANT. Then the A-Trak DJ fans who seemed like it was the first time out of their basement in years.

4 Korners wrapped up their set and swapped powerbooks w/ A-Trak letting him get into a tight set juggling Justin's "My Love" and then getting into one of his older sets with Weezy's "Go DJ". Quickly getting out of the technical stuff saying:

It makes me feel weird when guys are watching me instead of moving on the dance floor. Let me get into the club stuff!

I had to get moving but I still heard A-Trak moving into his mix of electro hip hop, mashes and remixes. Sounded hot, good thing I left because it seemed that noone else was into the progressive set.. really. Hopefully this night layed the foundation for things to come with dope DJs that can play great music that might not be restricted by current popularity.

F*&ckin Freezin' Friday

And the reasons why I'm going out in the cold are:

Nostalgia:
You'll hear the urban hits from the nineties the
entire night and the energy in the place is def
not to be missed. For me this monthly has plateau'd,
but that doesn't mean the party isn't still rocking hard!

Redemption:
Roots, Rock, Reggae! This party goes down
around every 2-3 months, a skankfest, bundown,
whatever you do when the music hits. Featuring
reggae music for the clubbers that stay far from
the banquet hall scene. Friday, they celebrate the
Hon. R.N. Marley 'pon 45s.
Kiss:
Brand new one-off is brought to you by
the good people @ Shaman Fam & Barcode.
If u are familiar w/ Cozy, Reggae Cafe, Cheers.
Too many sell-off dances to name. Even if you haven't
This party is an outside shot of being that spot.
Especially, if you want to keep your kicks fresh.
All these joints will be a door hassle after 11:30pm. And the sescurity dresses warm, so they don't mind holding you up in the cold. That's why I love Toronto!

Just to get it started, I rounded up a gang of qual-ity/ified street credible folks from across Canada to get digital. It's really simple.. The intros will come from their own entries. Me, I'm always out on road, and when I'm not the presence is felt. I'm gonna give my recommendations and street feelings of what is living or losing.
