CC RIDER IN CALGARY

While on the subject of the dead - I wanted to post this video from when Festival Express hit Calgary in 1970. Check out this version of CC Rider. Ian and Sylvia Tyson destroying. OMG.

DEAD DO DISCO

Tommyboy over at As Restless As We Are just posted this edit of the funkified title track from one of the Dead's least appreciated albums. Circa '78.

Grateful Dead - Shakedown Street (edit)

WICKED LESTER

Scott and Brian from Wicked Lester are bascially idols of mine. They are awesome producers, musicians, djs and all around great guys. Scott (Vinyl Ritchie) has been voted Best Dj in Vancouver for something like 28 years in a row. He plays 45s alot when djing and doesn't use Serato - if he ever starts using it i will kill myself, and he will have to change his name to mp3po. They tend to link up with really good singers and MCs as well, this song "Go" featuring Jahrahnimo is on the Bigfoot EP "Dance or Die". The sub-bass in this song is awesome - it makes me want to eat mad Roti. You can cop it on vinyl at Juno.

THUNDERHEIST

Last year we put out a record by Thunderheist who are making tons of great music, it features remixes by Wicked Lester, Wax Romeo, and Ghislain Poirier. There was also a great remix by Montreal's Hatchmatik that has been floating around the web. Here is a blend I did with Someone Great by LCD Soundsystem - it make the latter a little more club friendly. Hey! You can still buy the Thunderheist record at Juno.

HARD RAVE

I wanted to know what Hardstyle was so i googled it which led me to the Hardstyle wiki page which led me to the Melbourne Shuffle wiki page which led me to various Melbourne shuffle videos on youtube which led me to :)

I love raving but not as much as I love watching other people rave super hard to three zillion bpm hard dance trance.
