************************

Think old style rave... well sorta... you may have noticed the website was down all last year.... . This was to prevent prying eyes or the powers that be from seeing that which is meant for the eyes of Time Lords aka Kootenanny attendees.... :-)

However, since making Kootenanny the Annual Meeting of the Time Lords... we are a legitimate freak club... so what?! We have a whole new website too.. check it out! http://www.kootenanny.lovefire.ca/ There's a gallery and some vids to tantalize your senses.

Some of the features this year include: A Hottub, Sauna, Showers, 3+ days of music, VIP kitchen, Vendors, Local Scenery for amazing hiking and adventures including a waterfall, soft mossy thick treed forests and giant rocky cliffs. A TARDIS (time and relative dimensions in space machine), a spectacular full light show, video projection, pole dancers, Dj's, producers, bands, poets, professionally managed sound for high quality undistored bass, a watering hole, a bigger better octagonal Sanctuary...and more surprises.

Bring your fire toys, your light toys, your hoops, your badminton raquets, your birdies and your balls! And this year, add to that your sonic screwdrivers, your companions, your bow ties and your charm! ♥

This three song mini Ep is inspired by Bass Coast Festival. We're amped to be playing music there in August. Bring on summer!

Vancouver’s Clyphs make music to win raves to. Download Clyphs The Bass Coast EP for free via Bandcamp: http://www.clyphs.bandcamp.com/album/basscoast-ep
Comprised of festival heavyweights Woodhead and S2, the pair log more hours on the rave circuit than there are in a year. Seasoned veterans of B.C.’s big three, Shambhala, Soundwave(RIP) and Bass Coast, as well as the Vancouver and Nelson nightlife scenes respectively, Clyphs are well aware of what music sounds best at 6 in the morning, drinking a vodka-gin out of a wine bottle and wearing a wedding dress. Naturally, they have titled their new collection of tunes the Bass Coast EP. Look for a seven track album coming soon from the illustrious Homebreakin’ Records.
Drawing influence from the best of garage, vocal house, and techno, with enough analog synths to make Giorgio Moroder look like a hobo, the two have created a sound perfect for winding the party up, or gearing it down. I mean, Clyphs were meant to be jumped off, right?

Honored to support one of BC's finest exports MATHEW JONSON at OPEN STUDIOS 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY. I have a deep love for this space. A cultural hub and supporter of excellent underground dance music for a decade. Big love to Bentmatter and Open Studios crew.

Friday @ The Imperial (formerly District 319) 319 Main St

Caveology Presents: Cave Decompression Sessions # 2

Friday May 10th 9pm-1am

319 Main st (Main and Cordova)

This is an unofficial grand opening of the sexy new Vancouver venue: The Imperial. (formerly District 319)

Featuring local favorites:

Neighbour

One part sexy robot and one part aerobics instructor, Matt Dauncey has managed to find the middle ground between music and athletics. By harnessing the power of wrestling suits, tennis sweatbands, vintage synthesizers, and electric guitar, Neighbour has tapped into an ancient power-source that has given him the capacity to conjure up frenzied dancefloors wherever he is needed. Through a mysterious process that involves not one, but TWO gigantic crystals, the Homebreakin Records co-owner has managed to combine the raw ecstacy of the early days of disco with razor-sharp futuristic production.

Woodhead

Woodhead has a slew of exceptional releases on Homebreakin, Punchout & East Van Digital, that prove he is an ace producer in addition to his already spectacular skills as a DJ, his sets setting him apart from the imitators hoping to recreate even a sliver of the magic seen at many outdoor festivals and venues for years.

cy·cle (skl)
n.

1. a. A single complete execution of a periodically repeated phenomenon
2. (Music, other) a group or sequence of songs
3. (Computing) one oscillation of the regular voltage waveform used to synchronize processes in a digital computer

A snake eating it's own tail. That guy walking past the coffee shop with intense eyes, in the same spot as a week ago (did he just do some massive lap?). You've got tons of energy, doing it to the max, then all of a sudden- reclusive and charging back up. Come to think of it, music taste is pretty cyclical! Wait a year or two and your favourite stuff will be on top again. Or, jump onboard the cycle and ride it 'til the wheels fall off.

A good friend though, keeps as tight an orbit around you as possible, in each their own way. Seasons come and go, life changes in broad strokes and somehow still they're there. With that in mind, I'd like to introduce you to a couple friends of mine, the two headliners for Body Language 7.

Cal Bass

Founder of Homebreakin Records, player of ball-hockey, and father of one (dog), the incomparable Cal Bass is practically an institution in his city of Calgary. Having started promoting and DJing shows at the ripe age of 18, his interest in playing and showcasing quality groove music must have become second nature. Alongside Neighbour, he launched Homebreakin and Punchout, and has handled A +R duties for both labels since day one. His sets at Shambhala are always a massive hit at the Pagoda, and his blend of low slung boogie flavours with modern house, funk, and techno will be perfect for the Beaumont.

https://soundcloud.com/cal-bass

DJ Soup

It's not fair to call such a young guy a revered veteran DJ, but there's almost no other way to describe Rob. He's been instrumental in the production of Shambhala Music Festival and has consistently played energetic house, breaks, and electro sets to the slavering hordes. He's the artistic director at "The Pagoda" mainstage, which is among the greatest audio-visual immersive stage setups in all of Canada. On top of all this, he's got one of the top selling releases on Homebreakin alongside Hoola and Neighbour- "Kick it Like Old School". His newer sets feature a focus on modern garage, house, and oldschool sounds.

Very pleased to be djng at this prestigious event at the Vancouver Convention Center.

The awards will be broadcast next weekend on CityTV and G4Canada.

Canada will gather on the West Coast once again this spring to celebrate its world-class video game developers at the fourth annual Canadian Videogame Awards ceremony, to be held in Vancouver, British Columbia on April 20, 2013.

The Canadian Videogame Awards will be held once again in conjunction with Fan Expo Vancouver™ at the beautiful Vancouver Convention Centre. As the third largest developer of video games in the world, this show will celebrate Canada’s spot on the world stage as a leader in interactive entertainment. The show will be broadcasted across the country on G4 Canada and Citytv through the Rogers Network.

The awards are for work developed in Canada and released in 2012. The Canadian Videogame Awards are produced by Reboot Communications and Greedy Productions and are officially endorsed by DigiBC and the Entertainment Software Association of Canada. The producers are joined by a national industry committee of developers and leaders of the Canadian digital entertainment industry.

Looking forward to playing a set all Western Canadian producers and many unreleased jams from Homebreakin Records and East Van Digital camps.

Especially amped to play a bunch of unheard Clyphs material straight from the mastering house.

BRENDA HOLMES VS WOODHEAD
(The WoodHolmes Experience)

Honored and excited to have our song Out Front as the soundtrack to this video. Looking forward to Shambhala 2013. It's always an amazing experience.

Listen and Download Clyphs - Out Front here:

5 mins away from downtown Vancouver (exact location will be announced on the day of on here and the info line (604-222-8744)

Alright, it's Rave time! What's that you ask? Well, you put together a whack of awesome DJs, a little warehouse space, friends and their friends, some groovy vibes, a flyer which rips off some product, an info line, and some lasers and you got yourself a Rave!

That's right boys and girls. Mark Bayrock and Farshad (aka Abasi) are turning 40 and figured since they have raved since there were raves, one needs to be put together to celebrate this special occasion. Both of these boys have contributed quite a bit to "the scene" over the last 15+ years both as DJs and in many others ways. Farshad co-founded Intimate Productions with his friends Steve and JJ and a few others back in 2000, and together they have brought many a legendary parties and club nights to town which most of you have attended over the years, while Mark and his friend Jim Baxter founded Endorphin images and fuelled pretty much every rave in the late 90s and early 00s with the best eye candy around!

What happens when you are so involved in the scene? Well pretty much all your friends are DJs or are involved somehow, which only means a killer line up as follows:

Max Ulis vs. Woodhead
Abasi + Glyn + Dr. Jones (aka Team Trainwreck)
Mike McSuede vs. Sven Torpedo
Mark Bayrock vs. Expo
Andy Clockwork vs. Daniel Bull
Ceebas vs. Aaron B
Dave Dirk
+ Smoothie on Sax!

Music format will be whatever the DJs feel like playing from house, tech, dub, techno, funky/groovy electronic dance beats, with dashes of throw back tracks thrown in there for good measure.

There will be killer sound, amazing visuals, smart energy drinks (guess they call those Red Bull vodka these days?), free caffeine pills, and other goodies. Oh, and did we mention lasers?

All proceeds from this event will go to the BC Cancer Society, so by attending you get to contribute to 3 good causes: your happiness, happiness of the bday boys, and contribution to charity. What more could you ask for? So go grab your ticket, find that rave outfit and let's do this like it's 199X.

Pre-sale tickets are only $10 (first 100, $15 after) and a bit more at the door.

Location TBA at noon on the day of the event. Info line: 604-222-8744

PS: YOU GET IN FREE IF IT IS ALSO YOUR BIRTHDAY ANYWHERE WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEK BEFORE/AFTER THIS PARTY (message Farshad to get your free ticket).

PPS: SPECIAL AFTER PARTY TBA 'CAUSE THERE NEEDS TO BE MOAR RAVING!

Our mobile sauna master Karlis published a book about mobile saunas! It's already climbing up the New York Times best seller list. It's a compendium of modern nomadic sweats. No one knows more about building mobile saunas than Karlis. He's built three so far! Order your copy today! Here's the hard link:
http://www.lulu.com/shop/k%C4%81rlis-o-kalni%C5%86%C5%A1/mobile-saunas/p...

This is a collection of sauna trucks, sauna buses, sauna wagons, sauna cars, sauna bikes, sauna trailers, sauna boats, sauna floats, trail sweats, bastuflotten, bastubats, banya trucks, banya tents, and other mobile sweats. They are gathered from across North America, Russia, Europe and particularly Finland, where the annual Teuva mobile sauna festival attracts over 50 examples every year.

After building several mobile saunas, Kārlis began a multi-year study of the mobile sauna phenomenon in form and culture. Collected here is the result of that study, including photographs, viewpoints of builders, commentary and notes on design. Students of culture and architecture, sauna lovers and mobile sauna builders will appreciate the variety of forms, designs, styles and ideas revealed in this volume.

more infos:
The brainchild of veteran producers Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani,
Metro Area was born out of the pair's somewhat dichotomous love for both
the old moods of R&B, disco and boogie and the more cutting-edge sound of
innovative house and techno. Metro Area brings back the soulful
experimentation of the early club classics, mixing live and electronic
instruments. Simultaneously, the mood and minimalism of more recent dance
music forms creep into the mix: Detroit's cold futurism, Chicago's abstract
track-modes, and the warmth of New York and New Jersey's deep house.

Lyrics paying homage to one of the world's funkiest individuals, delivered with dark, pitched-down undertones. On paper this really shouldn't work. In reality it ruddy rocks. This is largely thanks to Prosper & Azaxx's quirky, off-beat shuffle groove underneath. Think Music For Freaks and you get the picture. Remix-wise Basement Freaks adds more of a breakbeat electro bite to the mix, Adam Polo adds a soaring riff and feel-good p-funk and Niko strips it down to a slinkier groove that flips between classic US and grittier UKG.

Heading up to the Drive to play some tunes at falconetti's tonight. Excited to play a longer set of eclectic tunes i don't get to play on the regular. Meet up!

Going to be charming the crap out of you on live visuals tonight.

The Super Happy Dance Deejays and the Beaumont Studios present:

CHARMS: A SUPER HAPPY St. Paddy's Day Magically Delicious Funtime Party

Feat.

The SUPER HAPPY DANCE DEEJAYS

Charms have fascinated our society for thousands of years. They attract our eyes, and bring luck, prosperity, and power. The projection of energy and meaning that makes these physical objects a charm. Once energized, these gems of notoriety become powerful units that gain us entrance into the worlds that we desire.

A Charm can be an amulet, unit of measurement, a method to avoid the snakes in our lives, or represent eternal symbols of our past. Their heads can be spun, they may fly high in the sky, or they may dangle on our prized posessions. Charms may be traded, gifted, or won in a game of chance. They remain a symbol of truth, ward us from danger, and protect us from the unidentified. A charm can be a way of life, it can be a princely person, and the subtle act of charm may bring us all that we desire.

Charms – they power our ship of life, they bring us joy, and their glints may bring us our greatest desires.
We call ye all to celebrate an eternity of trinkets. Let us celebrate the Charms.

All Charms welcome – payment will be accepted in coin, gold, silver, and plastic whore money.

_____________________________________

As the late Oscar Wilde once said: "life is too important to be taken seriously", an ethos that Justin Martin is sticking with despite achieving soaring success over the last six years as a producer and international DJ.Justin initially pricked the ears of the electronic music community in 2003 with his first record 'The Sad Piano' on Ben Watt's Buzzin' Fly label. Everyone in the electronic music food chain got involved, from the A list DJs like Derrick Carter and Pete Tong that were playing the track, to the international music press that were raving about it. It even translated to the German underground, with Poker Flat licensing it for Steve Bug's 'Bugnology' compilation. Like someone that goes bowling for the first time and gets five strikes and a turkey, Justin couldn't really have hoped for a better entrance.Feeding off the energy of the San Francisco underground and mentored by fellow super producer Claude VonStroke, Justin was intrinsically involved with the development of dirtybird records, appearing on its first four releases. Justin was soon ready to take flight, releasing a string of solo EPs which flaunted a very unique sound and garnered still more respect among fellow DJS and heavyweight's of the scene.

Last year this party was off the hook. Excited to throw down with this group of talented and sexy djs.

It’s back… In this its 9th inception James Bondage is preparing to one up the Mayans and send you into the new age with a party stripped of ego, pretense and judgments. All we bring you is a celebration of love, and soul painted red in a deep shade of tangible lust.

This Valentines James Bondage will be once again raising funds for the Howe Sound Women’s Centre, and a Public Art Project in the Downtown. On Saturday February 16th at Howe Sound Inn, trinityromance.com, and its loveable band of helpers are setting the stage to produce a party that strives to continually one up itself.

This years theme is quite simply Lust: Volume Red. In an homage to our fetish roots we encourage all of our friends, family, and lovers to don the sassiest of red outfits, show up early (the shows this year are going to be phenomenal), and shake, grind, and bounce your booties until the skies open up and the heavens fall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MYRRYRS (PHX): https://soundcloud.com/myrryrs
An American producer raised on house, hip hop and drum and bass, Myrryrs has set each genre and the barriers they create, aside. Rather than drawing influence from the producers of his musical upbringing, Myrryrs peers deep within the happenings of the late 90’s rave scene, sci-fi fantasy, and cult imagery. Fusing bass heavy electronic noise and riveting hooks with seemingly accidental perfection, it’s this mysterious approach that has seen an idea evolve into a powerful force through original releases on Body High, Discobelle Records, and B.yrslf Division.

MAX ULIS (VAN): https://soundcloud.com/maxulis
In Vancouver, there are few artists as well-respected and lauded as Max Ulis. Known for his flawless mixing abilities and breath-taking original productions, Max is a pioneer on the West Coast, pushing his own unique brand of house and techno. He is one of the charter members of the notorious Lighta! crew, which has been instrumental in the building of Vancouver's underground movement for the better part of a decade.

WOODHEAD vs NEIGHBOUR (VAN): https://soundcloud.com/woodhead // https://soundcloud.com/neighbour-homebreakin
In the house and funk realm, these two gentlemen are without parallel, as they are both part of the renowned Homebreakin Crew. Woodhead has a slew of exceptional releases on Homebreakin, Punchout & East Van Digital, that prove he is an ace producer in addition to his already spectacular skills as a DJ, his sets setting him apart from imitators hoping to recreate even a sliver of the magic seen at Shambhala and across the city for years. Neighbour on the other hand is an underground legend. Matt is one funky motherfucker - His live performances leave crowds gobsmacked, combining live instrumentation and peerless mixing skills. He has been creating some of the most inspirational house, techno, funk and disco to come out of the city. This will be a special back to back set.

HXDB vs CURE (VAN): https://soundcloud.com/dj_cure // https://soundcloud.com/hexadecibel
We R cool. We don't like to write about ourselves in the 3rd person. We represent the bleeding edge. We will take you there.

“There is strong shadow where there is much light.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The light of a metropolis emits from the hearts of its denizens, especially in its darker hours. Communities are mosaics of the interwoven intentions and aspirations of individuals, linked to others by collaboration, competition and common purpose. To the untrained ear, the city is a sleeping giant, an idle pharoah. To those who strive to navigate cultural waters by their senses, the city is a debutante, a conflicted youth, a wizened sage, and a streetwise hustler- a seething chorus whispering, muttering, and screaming while it seeks affirmation from and connection to the voices it has learned to hear in the wind.

The legend of Hoola is long and storied, and covers a LOT of ground. As an essential member of the Vitamin Tribe in Halifax, he pioneered an era of electronic shows on the east coast. Moving westward, he established World Headquarters in Nelson, the nerve center / record store for the scene that spawned the now legendary Shambhala music festival. Since then, he's curated and produced the Beach Stage / Living Room, an ambience known for its range of styles and depth of vision. Hoola is a major forefather of dance community in Canada, and his DJ sets reflect a wide variety of discerning taste. He's known for his monstrous vinyl collection of rare disco and funk as well as a penchant for futuristic electronic grooves- so basically he'll be right at home at the Beaumont.

Sean Plusoneminusone Matwiy and Liam Likemind Joneser have quickly become ambassadors of a fresh style of house music in Vancouver, and for good reason. Diligent educators and diverse selectors, the pair have begun to produce events for Vancouver's dance community, while maintaining focus on their ever-evolving DJ sets. Fusing new 4x4 varietals springing forth from bass producers with the sound of classic house and techno, these two mega-friends are a must-see in 2013.

This Sunday i'm going ballistik in Whistler.

After a successful launch of the BallistiK Jam with a psychedelic flavor, a new series of parties starting at the Savage Beagle to bring some of the best underground electronic dance music, the KosmiK Konnection is proud to bring WOODHEAD to Whistler for a Jam full of FUNKINESS!

>>>>> FUNKY BALLISTIK JAM - Sunday, January 27th
Funky House, Funky Breaks & everything in between on the menu!
It’s going to be Woodhead’s BIRTHDAY Whistler style, so be ready for a night full of surprise :)

WOODHEAD is a SUPER versatile DJ...expect Funky Techy Groovy Housy Breaky tunes all night long!

> WOODHEAD ( Homebreakin Records & East Van Digital – Vancouver )
What happens after someone who has spent years touring the dive bars of North America, sleeping on stranger’s couches, eating cigarettes and coffee for breakfast, honing their bass chops in bands that played everything from punk to jazz? They wise up, step out of the van, take their hard-earned musical lessons and become one of Vancouver’s premier DJs and producers.
Currently Woodhead’s six song ep for Punchout! Records is charting on Beatport’s top 100 Funk/RnB releases.
Check out East Van Digital, Homebreakin Records and E.C.I Korea for more remixes and original tracks.

Woodhead gives us 'Real Love', an uplifting house tune topped with a tasteful vocal sample.

After over four months my tune Get Over You is moving back up the Beatport top 100 Funk & RnB charts and is sitting at 43!! Surreal to be up there with artists I love like Wolf + Lamb, Malente, Gramatik, DMX Krew, Nickodemus Nyc, Burial, Dave Allison and Pretty Lights. Looking forward to sharing some of my new material with you guys soon.
