I am so ready to bang out some tunes on the beach…1 month til Soundwave!
I was back on the island last weekend to play the closing set at Low End Frequency, which sort of inspired this mix.
Note: this isn’t necessarily what I’m going to be playing at the festival, as I don’t know my exact time slot yet.

a late nite blend of deep house, tech house, and techno. harmonically mixed for your listening pleasure.

Growing up on the west coast, and now residing in the Kootenay Mountains, this self professed “BASStard” took to the decks during some time spent in southern Alberta, and instantly joined forces with Calgary’s legendary pK crew. Since then he has also been enlisted by VanCity’s Integrated Grime Unit, and Cranbrooks AreaONE crews of misfits to routinely wreck shop, and with a love for all beats bass heavy & broken, has been slamming dancefloor after dancefloor across western Canada, destroying clubs, pubs, and halls up to the infamous Shambhala Music Festival, playing alongside some of the games biggest heavyweights including: Bassnectar, the Glitch Mob, Ed Rush & Optical, Evol Intent, Rusko,Soteg, ill.Gates, Subvert & Excision. You can catch him across western Canada rockin dancefloors with his own edits/remixes, as well as fresh unreleased bangers from around the globe and his crew. Never restricted by pesky bpm’s or genres,

THE FUNK HUNTERS - Vancouver - Funk/Breaks/Party-Hop

Recognizing the need to bring more F-U-N-K to your speakers, DUNKS & OUTLIER have teamed up for a global mission hunting the freshest party rocking sounds imaginable. Armed with 4 turntables and an arsenal of phat beats, the FUNK HUNTERS have been infecting dancefloors across BC with their own signature blend of booty-shaking party-hop. Following appearances throughout Vancouver and the infamous MOO CREW parties at Shambhala, the pair finally made their first Victoria appearance at last year’s annual Halloween throwdown at the legendary Phantom Pharm and returned again this spring for an epic 4hr beach-set of funky breaks and bass heavy bangers at a rare Mile Zero party. Word on the street is that their funk is fresher than ever and these two are sure to have something special planned for their debut appearance at the Sunset Room!

This summer will mark Emmett’s debut appearance at Soundwave and after his opening gigs for Mat the Alien, Fort Knox 5, and Soul of Man earlier this year you’re not going to want to miss this chance to see him in action before the festivities begin in July.

2 weeks late, but here’s some shots from Ohana on Oct 17th… it was a great night of music, big thanks to Matt (Neighbour), Brent (Mr. B), Chrystal, J-Byrd, Trever, and the people at the Sunset Room. We went past 5:30 and had people yelling for more disco. That’s the best possible ending to a show.

Well! It’s been a while.

The move to Victoria is complete, school has started, and life has really picked up speed.  I was able to catch John Tejada and Richie Hawtin on my brief stop in Vancouver, which was awesome. Both of them exceeded my expectations. Shouts to Geoff Pye, the Danksoul boys, the Shah DJ’s, Woodhead, and whoever else put up with my drunk ass there and at Lotus Long Weekend.

I’ve just received a shiny new external sound card for my laptop, so the trickle of music on this blog should resume shortly. Also, there’s a show in the works for October 3rd for anyone in Victoria.
