New Yorkers, and or people traveling to New York in June. Make it a point to be at the Bell House (149 7th St / Brooklyn) June 30th as DJ Marvel joins forces with the gods DJ Eleven & Ayres for NY's illest party - THE RUB.
Tuesday February 1st Tony Touch hosted an auction to raise funds for Kool Herc's medical expenses. It all went down inside Sutra Lounge and DJ Marvel of The Freshest was lucky enough to win the bid with all proceeds going directly to the legend Kool Herc.

I'd like to give a quick shout out to Dj Eleven (who I'm sure you are all familiar with) From "The Rub" In New York City. He's Got a record label that he's been putting out music for the last year or so..
I was involved in two of the releases supplying bass/synth work for "Dance Our Way" Ep Which you can find in out SHOP section above, and the "Every Freakin" release too.
Well he's got his own blog up that you should go and check out... HERE
You'll soon be hearing a Remix that I have contributed to vancouvers own "Matty C" release Called "Action"
I'm also gonna be Releasing a Single in the new year, on one of THESE puppies.
So as you may have heard, another great musician died this week.
Roc Raida was a really influential dj to me and I wouldn't even consider myself a turntablist or anything. The guy was a really great dj period. He was clean, original and very tasteful. I also really enjoyed his production. this song (that he produced) in particular. I have really fond memories of my friend who taught me how to dj playing this song. I'm going to play this tonight in tribute. RIP.
Roc Raida was that dude to me as well check out Vancouver is Awesome where I speak more about his influence on me and how i got to DJ w/ him a few times.

p.s. this was my jam on my walkman for a long time.
The Homie Jayceeoh had an eventful weekend as he rocked along side Wiz Khalifa and Girl Talk at the Brooklyn Pool party. Jayceeoh has a crazy touring schedule over the next few months touching down all over the US and Europe, but will be back in Vancouver to rock along side The Freshest this November!
