 Coolness: 22895 | Hi all,
Im new to canada, moved here a couple of weeks ago and intend to be over for a year or so. Currently living over in BC by Kelowna for the winter but then will be traveling around. In england I am part of a large soundsystem called Jigsore Sound System, we put on big club nights as well as regular raves (i.e large un-regulated events in the middle of the country....basically the best way to party!) I mix a mash-up of styles with my sets ranging from about 130bpm to 240, consisting of jungle, breakcore, hip hop, reggae, dubstep, hardcore, gypsy....all sorts of stuff. I have mixes and tunes on [ www.soundcloud.com ] Anyway I'm not trying to push my shit, im far more interested in meeting similar minded people and getting to some good events. I see this site is more based on the east side of canada, is that basically where all the good music is, or can I find much over here on the west coast? I have only been away from england a few weeks but im badly missing good music! Where is good? What promoters can I speak to about possibly playing whilst out here? I have heard shambhala festival is good, but what others should I check out? Basically.....in need of some good advice from good people! many thanks |

 Coolness: 30240 | If you like dubstep, gypsy music, hip hop, reggae, breakbeat, drum and bass, you'll find all of that on the west coast. You will find zero hardcore whatsoever, and you might find a bit of techno or psytrance in small circles...and even then only in vancouver. 4/4 stuff is much more popular out here in the east. NTK crew are probably the most established group out here for the freeparty/teknival side of things.
The West Coast is funky, mellow, groovy, with mega hip hop influences in everything. |

Depends what you guys call D&B....in england its predominantly just shit commercial stuff that I have no interest in. But its a vast genre and some DnB is wicked. And Zentrix - thanks for the heads up, NTK crew look like what im after! Found an old event they did with Zone-33 headlining...thats me sold! will have to try to get hold of these guys |

 Coolness: 166490 | Yup, NTK is great (and actually, Zone33 is part of the crew) ...
I also throw Hardcore events once in a while :) Montreal is awesome for music, Toronto has a slightly bigger Jungle/Breakcore scene though, but come on over to the East coast! -- not that I'm debasing the West coast, I have no clue what their scene is like over there xD All I know is that some of favorite Industrial bands hail from there (like Skinny Puppy) ... Anyway, welcome to Canada! ... where we get all the fads from Britain about 2 years later :p |

| Coolness: 22895 | Shit alright guess I need to get over to the other side of the country! Zone-33 being part of the crew....sick as fuck. 'la foule' is absolute quality!
My mixes are more mash-up then just hardcore, [ soundcloud.com ] thats the kind of thing I do. I need to find the scene for this whilst out here, would be dope to play out in canada! How big are the raves (outdoor, not legal/indoor) out here? Is there a good scene for that? The countryside out here is so sick everywhere I go I just picture setting up a phat stack of speakers and rinsing it! |

 Coolness: 39360 | There are A LOT of outdoor parties/festivals in the province of Quebec, however it's mainly during the summer.. there were at least 6 this past summer. but winter is coming soon and we're gonna have a lot of snow, so it's not ideal for outdoor parties. I'm sure they also have their parties in western Canada, but I don't know about them. |

 Coolness: 76085 | No hardcore in Mtl?
In fact, we got a good number of great hardcore dj and producer over here. But there is not much event going on. There deadNĀ for the hardcore head, there is NTK and hardtime production for the free party spirite. For the last 2 year from spring to fall, OCDJ was home for all bigbass and distorted weckidness. Might as well check out laf-o b-day at saphir this Tuesday and as well DTO and a of hardtime dj at the same place tursday. |

| Coolness: 22895 | well I mix traditional gypsy melodies etc with electronic beats...lots with hardcore/hard tek etc, similar to ed cox as mentioned before. hard for me to explain without saying go on my soundcloud. its getting popular in europe especially, always goes down well at raves in england. |
