One of my favourite combos out there The Dooze Jackers are throwing a huge bday party tonight and if your in the MTl area you should definitely attend.
My ex-gf whose a bartender there says its consistently her least favourite night of the month because everyone is partying two hard, no one drinks except for water and when they do its tons of underage girls who dont tip… Sounds like an awesome party to me!
Plus the Doozejackers do the tropical house/dutch house sound better than anyone in the city and probably Canada so thats one last huge reason to.

Ontario’s biggest Electronic music festival returns August 12-14, 2011.
And the lineup is absolutely huge with a major lean to Dupstep and DNB. Skrillex, Rusko, Nosia, FLux Pavilion Infected Muhroom and the list goes on… this looks like the most evil electronic lineup Ive ever seen.
Here’s what the organizers have to say about it.
” Expect bigger and better talent from even more electronic genres, a much bigger emphasis on art and culture and greater community involvement. Like a phoenix from the ashes, the new WEMF emerges to be much more than it was before but without forgetting from whence it came.
WEMF 2011 ADVANCE TICKET PRICES:
First 1000 Tickets – $150 (SOLD OUT!)
Next 1000 Tickets – $175 (OVER 65% SOLD!)
Next 1000 Tickets – $200
Next 1000 Tickets – $225
Final block of tickets – $250
All the lineups have pretty much been released for arguably Canada’s coolest electronic music festival… Shambhala (Although Quebec’s piknck electronik might have something to say about that).
What’s obviously incredible about this party is the setting. Shambhala is held annually in early August on the pristine Salmo River Ranch, and boasts 6 uniquely themed stages.
Run free of corporate sponsorship and is funded solely by ticket sales Shambhala has grown into a legendary electronic shangrilah since its humble beginnings in 98 in the west kootenays.
Located at The Bent River Ranch near Drayton Valley, Alberta, Canada, Motion Notion has one of North America’s best festival venues! Unlimited green spaces, virgin forests, viewpoints, beaches and three kilometers of pristine riverfront along the warm Pembina River.
2011 headliners include INFECTED MUSHROOM (Live & DJ), SHPONGLE (Simon Posford DJ Set), NEELIX, GAUDI, EOTO, VIBESQUAD, RANDOM RAB, ELECTRYPNOSE, MAD MAXX, MAT THE ALIEN, SOULFIX, STICKYBUDS, TREAVOR MOONTRIBE COMMON CITIZENS, SATORI LIFE, OT-KUN, YANN, SONS OF AURORA… with more to be announced. Over 100 local and international artists will perform.
For all you locals Montreal’s the charity organization Sabela are putting on a screening of the movie Tsotsi in the Frank Dawson Adams Auditorium of McGill University tomorrow.
This is a crazy movie set in the urban ghetto of modern day Johannesburg, South Africa, this psychological thriller takes you 6 days into the life of a young, ruthless shantytown gangster who is forced to confront his brutal nature.
The soundtrack is front and center and totally different… composed by South African artist Zola this guy has some serious swagger…. Cool too check out what else South Africa has to offer other than Die Antwoord.
So if you’d like to support a good cause and are in the Montreal area go check out Sabela’s screening of Tsotsi. The movie will be on the big screen and it will run from about 6PM-730PM. And wherever you are if you like a good gangster flick with a powerful message I suggest checking it out
Dorian Concept is a Vienna based composer and musician, a child piano prodigy who went onto study music composition in Salzburg. He is currently one of the most exciting artists working in electronic music; his fusion of jazz, electronics and club music is as exciting as it is unique.
Next Thursday, Dorian will be stopping by CFC (formally Zoobizarre) in Montreal for a special live set. This is definitely going to be a special night, with DJ support from Joe Shabadu, Jacques Greene, Rilly Guilty and Seb Diamond. All the info can be found on the facebook event.
We’re headed back to Kingston this time to play with the Godfather of electro Steve Aoki. Whenever Steve rolls into Kingston they go abosolutely crazy so if your anywhere near there get yourself some glowsticks, neon shades and whatever other nefarious accoutrements you need and roll out.
Just a quick heads up for our Montreal readers. Skins Party Montreal is teamin gup with A1 Talent Agency to bring in our good friend, and UK heavy hitter Foamo. Foamo will be supported by Dooze Jackers, Elo!i, Duece Havok, Mo-Fo and Juke. There will only be 200 tickets at the door so show up early. All the information regarding the party can be found here.
I’ve also put up streams for Foamo’s two latest tracks, “Here Comes The” and “Generate Some Heat.” Don’t miss your chance to catch this caliber of DJ.
Camel is a producer who has been on top form over the past 12 months. His music, which can mostly be found on the great label Deadfish, is a mix of house and tech house which makes for really funky, groovy, and most of all fun dance tunes. Labelmate Solo has coined this style “Midget” House. He has finally made it across the pond from Italy and will be playing shows in Toronto and Montreal this weekend! You can catch him Thursday in Toronto at The Social or alternatively, Friday in Montreal at Velvet. I would highly recommend catching these shows as I’ve heard great things about his DJing and as we already know his production is top notch.
As a little taste of what the night might sound like, here is a brand new track Camel is giving away for free!
