Goody! Goody! Vol.1 DJ Jayceeoh + PQ

Two-time DMC Championship finalist DJ JayCeeOh and Miami-bred crate digger PQ have combined forces to create GOODY! GOODY!, a collaborative dance-centric project that blends house, electro, hip hop, Baltimore club, bass, disco and more for an explosive mix that is already in rotation in clubs in New York, LA and Miami. The two skilled selectors first collaborated on WERS 88.9FM in Boston (the #1 College Radio Station in the US at the time) in 2003, and have since been individually featured in media outlets like The Source, URB, MTV.com, and Okayplayer.com, while landing corporate DJ gigs for NBC, Adidas, Puma and Decon Media.
Having moved over 100,000 units of his mixtapes, placing 2nd at the 2006 DMC US FINALS, and claiming back-to-back “Turntablist of the Year” titles at the M.I.C. Awards (2006, 2007), DJ JayCeeOh has garnered a national following. Known for his pure turntablism and incredible cutting and scratching abilities, JayCeeOh has spent much of the last year touring from Europe, Brazil and Canada to hot spots across the US, while expanding his musical repertoire to include more dance-oriented genres and working with PQ on refining his blends and mixes.

PQ began his career in the 1990’s in Miami, but has honed his chops over past decade in Boston and New York, notably spinning gigs for New York Magazine and Heineken and opening for acts like The Cool Kids and Gang Gang Dance. Also a producer who has composed original music for Absolut, A&E and Sony, PQ’s knowledge of music is unparalleled and his record collection contains more than a few rare finds. Already a force behind the turntables, working with DJ JayCeeOh has improved PQ’s technical prowess and taken his mixes to a new level.

GOODY! GOODY! released the first installment of their self-titled mixtape series today, available for download here.

Sharks + Hammers

Today was the soft opening of Sharks + Hammers, what does that mean exactly?  I couldnt find out but i did find a great new store. Located @ 56a Powell Street;  Sharks + Hammers is the brain child of  Rhek and Brand.  Im realy proud of  these guys as this appears to be a proper outlet for Rhek's unlimited creativity.  I am proud to say I was the first official customer of the store.. woo woo. Check it out, it's TFK approved.
 

Aritzia GSM fashion Show.

* Click photo's to enlarge

I love girls, girls, girls, girls, girls, i do adore.. Last sunday was by far one of the better Freshest Kids corporate events we have ever played at. Rico has been DJ'n at the Aritzia on Robson for a while but this time we were lucky enough to get put on for their Bi-anual Aritzia GSM fashion show! (Thanks Matty) This show was on point, the catering was amazing, and like I mentioned the Ladies were looking so good. Big shots out to Jessi from MTV hosting the event. Seko and I (Marvel) Had a funny set up facing each other and we did a routine.. it reminded me of a head to head battle in Juice.. lol

Pride day reggae party WTF?

This long weekend was nothing short of perfect. Sunday afternoon, Rico, Kutcorners, and I rode our bikes over to Davie street (pause) where tons of events were going on.  I honestly think our party was the best by far, amazing food, great people, and music was on point. Big shout out to the crew from Foundation Radio for holding it down, on the DJ/Bongo/Live Bass/hospitality tip!  

House Party Dance off

Thanks to all who got sweaty sweaty necks at our jam!  Big ups to FreshJive lacing the ladies with giveaways.  DJ's were all on point; TFK, December, Cher Chez, Brendan Butter, and the always funky Relly Rel$.  Finally big up to New Money blessing the Mic, and repping WRG? Mag.  Montreal in the building!

More party come soon!
