Awww shit. There’s a new Keys N Krates video, this comes by way of the Livestock Block Party, which if you happened to miss you should be ashamed of yourself and yes I’m looking a few of you specifically! Anyways the party was hype with DJ Pump and DJ Hedspin doing their thing and then Keys n Krates killing it live for everyone on the block and the next few blocks over for that matter. The clip features some Lionel Ritchie, Janet, Depeche Mode, Michael Jackson, James Brown. On the turntables is DJ Jr-Flo, keyboards is Matisse and on the drums is Adam Tune. Check out the video and then cruise on over to the photos found here. In one of the pictures you can see the drummer Adam Tune playing the drums with no shoes.
This Sunday, the 14th, marks the third annual Livestock Block Party. For us Vancouverites, this pretty much marks the end of our summer and the transition to the Fall season begins. If you haven’t attended the previous block party then I suggest you check it out as it is absolutely bananas. Here’s the info straight from the source:

The appetite inducing ad will be appearing in the latest issue of good ol’ Vice Magazine and features all the members of Canada’s premier Dj collective - Team Canada’s Grandtheft & D.R.

Gotta love how they have the Montreal’s Team Canada eating poutine & bagels, Vancouver’s Hedspin eating sushi, Toronto’s Jr. Flo eating Carribbean roti and Calgary’s Pump hanging out with a beef carcass..hahaha. As for Ottawa’s Illo - I’m not sure what he’s eating but I’d assume it’s from Tim Horton’s.

Don’t sleep Victoria, no disrespect, but y’all have a lot of wack music going on out there, trust I know I lived there for years. Be sure to step out to this event and experience some off the wall shit and boogie.
I gotta say we at Killah Beez got a lot of love for these Eh! Team Djs. The remixes, the styles and the flow of their sets is just absolutely bananas, so definitely check them out live if you haven’t. This week we have the new mix that Dj Hedspin, one of the members of The Eh! Team Djs, did for the Toronto radio station Flow. As usual shit is off the hook, but would you expect any less? Stream the mix below and download it for your mp3 player. Check out Hedspin’s myspace page here for more info.
