Wax Romeo – www.myspace.com/waxromeo
Wax Romeo is undoubtedly the world’s greatest lover, but when he’s done blowing kisses at the mirror, he can be found tinkering with party tunes in the studio, or playing at Hai Karate every Thursday with Calgary’s finest, the Smalltown Djs. His father, a well-dressed thief known for carrying a cache of weapons inside a steel drum, taught Romeo about marauding and defrauding at a very early age. Since then, he’s fleeced more fools than The North Face, stealing whatever he can, including the Golden Titty, which belonged to the dangerous Jamaican “Blouse an’ Skirt Posse”. When he’s not writing self-congratulatory bio’s, eating sheppard’s pie, or lobbing empties, Wax Romeo defiles dance floors Calgary’s Hifi Club and Marquee Room. Though he was hatched from a queer disco egg fertilized by the manic seed of a jheri-curled 80’s R&B drummer, he pulls influence from the likes of the The Rub, and west coast party-chameleons, Vinyl Ritchie and the Smalltown Djs. If your party needs some step, Wax Romeo will get here fast, driving his empty brown limousine in the carpool lane. Expect a total shitmix of funk, rock, house, rap, disco, dancehall, and 80’s, but watch your damn moneymaker, because Romeo roles dimes…
DJ Hedspin – www.myspace.com/djhedspin
His foundation is strictly and only rap, hip-hop, funk, soul, 80’s, dancehall and reggae he has the versatility, know how and skill to rock in any genre (including, coincidently, rock music). He’s generally considered a crowd pleasing party rocker and has a PHD in “making bitches dance”. Of course I made that last part up (he only has a Masters degree) and I’m hyping him up for this bio, but truly, Hedspin can and will and does turn a party out.
Crooks & Gunn – www.myspace.com/crooksandgunn
Let’s face it, the majority of the world’s DJs believe the world is flat (-brimmed New Era caps), and that the nightlife was created in six days of DMC championships (on the seventh day, he listened to chill-out compilations). Those of us who dance and wake late are generally tormented in the club by a hoodied, stubborn, aging man with all the charm of the stains we find on our pillows after a two month bender. Suddenly, rising from the puddles of Vancouver, Canada are a duo who speak to both our love of party-anthem-disco-thrash, and our love of visible minorities. Zia Hirji and Samuel Kintu spin “records” for “clubbers” with their turn “tables”, all the while giving each other fives and winks with all the precise panache of a tag team wrestling combo in the late eighties. It’s a joy just to watch them, but it’s an experience to listen to them.
modern is awesome, looking forward to this.
