Since the incredibly successful Reid Speed event that took place back in August, DNA Records has teamed up with DJ Bind and Academy club once again to bring you more cutting edge musical talent:





The Lineup? Big surprise:



DJ CRAZE [Miami]
DRUM + BASS // HIP HOP // TEKDBZ // Six Time World Champion // Cartel
In Montreal, when you think of scratching the first thing that comes to mind is ATrak, when A-Trak thinks of scratching, the first thing that comes to HIS mind is DJ Craze. If you haven’t seen this man behind two turntables you’re missing something beautiful. Now add his turnbtable mastery to hip hop/d&b crew TEKDBZ, fronted by legendary producer Photek and you’ve got the best of both worlds. All that’s missing is an MC to host this momentus occasion….



MC ARMANNI [Philadelphia]
TEKDBZ // METALHEADZ
This man is considered at this very moment to be one of the top Drum & Bass MC’s on the face of this earth. His most recent expedition? Touring the globe alongside the godfather of the scene himself, Goldie (founder of Metalheadz Recordings and creator of the seminal Jungle/D&B album ‘Timeless’). His most recent collaboration? Teaming up with MC Sharpness forming like voltron to create Mental Sharp, the newest signing to the TEKDBZ imprint.



COREY K
DNA Records
Corey has been spinning D&B for over 10 years and has held numerous residencies at some of Montreal’s most well known clubs. He's also the manager over at DNA Records, the home for junglist vinyl in Montreal.



DJ BIND
[ www.djbind.com ]
Bind has been quite a busy guy lately, hosting events ranging from Drum & Bass (Phace, N-Phect & Diz:play), to Breaks (Simply Jeff), to Dubstep (Skream). More recently linking up with Broken Crew and Kops to bring Afrika Bambaataa to our fine city. Bind will be bringing you some of the finest breaks this evening featuring his partner in crime…



EVADER MC [Vancouver]
Live Animals Crew
After a brief hiatus, Evader joins us back in Montreal where he belongs, toasting it up on the mic as only he knows how.



HUSSLER [Toronto]
AfterDARK
This T-dot transplant never fails to please, warming up the night nicely with a mixture of breaks/hip hop/funk/garage and everything in between.

Friday August 18th 2006

After bringing you such artists as: Shy FX, Marcus Visionary, Aquasky, and Freestylers, DNA Records is proud the present:



Would you like to know more? Read on....


REID SPEED [Los Angeles]
Breakbeat Science, Direct Drive, Shure
Reid has been fuckin’ shit up since ’96. Bursting onto the scene, she quickly turned heads with her tight skills in the highly competitive New York underground. Reid went on to work for highly respected Breakbeat Science, the US's first exclusively drum & bass store. Not satisfied with simply Djing, Reid has also produced alongside artists Ming & FS, as well as Datcyde, churning out such hit tunes as the NYC jungle anthem "Naughty Ride". After putting out over a dozen mixtapes, Reid released her critically acclaimed ‘Resonance’ mix on Breakbeat Science in 2001. Then in the summer of 2003, Breakbeat Science came calling for their second mix, a stormer entitled "Life After Dark". Now based in Los Angeles, Reid has shown no signs of letting up, being personally chosen by Jamie Kennedy to spin her own blend of Drum & Bass on his show, the Jamie Kennedy Experiment. Last year saw her join DJ Rap and Colette for the ‘Beauty & The Beats’ competition and tour. Whether she’s busy modeling for Triple 5 Soul, or spinning alongside top talent across the globe, Reid Speed always comes correct. Show some love Montreal, for one of the top female DJs in the world. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeespect!


COREY K
DNA Records
Corey has been spinning D&B for over 10 years and has held numerous residencies at some of Montreals most well known clubs. He's also the manager over at DNA Records, the home for junglist vinyl in Montreal.


MAYDAY
[ mtldnb.com ]
This Toronto transplant was a resident at Junglist Fridays, which was Montreal's longest running DNB and electronic music weekly. Now she's a free-agent and causing a ruckus everywhere she goes! Mayday promises a top notch selection for this special event, not to be missed.


DJ MANA
Microtone Kitchen, Soul Mechanics
DJ Mana has won the Montreal DMC Championships 2 years in a row (03-04), and has literally 'schooled' too many Montreal DJ's to mention. Mana will be gracing us with a rare Drum & Bass set early in the evening as well as adding his scratches to our other performers sets.

Any requests for tonight?

Just so you guys know, Syd Barrett didn't have anything to do with Atom Heart Mother.

He was kicked out in '68...AHM came out in 1970.

Although The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967) is still one of ther better albums, RIP Syd.

i love halla!!!

HOLLA!

I don't know aobut the rest of you but....



i'm WAY more annoying in real life.


Corey

sooooooooon!

I'm so psyched I already started picking records out.

Corey

Fuckin' sick! I had a great time, and realy enjoyed playing for nearly 3 hours. Thanks to Thierry, the Fractal people, and The Boomtang Boys, this show was the best organized yet and it showed. Special thanks to everyone who came out and stuck around for little old me and my cheesy tunes.



Caro, that was George and me. Glad to hear it turned out well.


See you all at the next one,

Mr. Vain

Somebody help me, Mr.Vain needs a new tie.

sick flyer man.

put me on late!


Corey

24 HOURS BABY!!!!

Naah, we figured it'd be easier on everyone to just say 5$ before midnight, that way anyone who wants to get in for cheap has a chance to.

Corey

Bump!

True Dat!

I only had one rule for the graphic designer. NO BLUE.

My hands have been blue from postering for freestylers for weeks.

So orange is kinda nice.


Corey

This space has been used for many parties in the past, I believe one of the last Hard As Fuck parties happened there.

Friday June 2nd
10pm-???

AfterDARK Events alongside DNA Records join forces once again to bring you yet another all-night loft party.



We thought long and hard on this one and deicided that after much deliberation it was time to go back to our roots, and bring back some of our favorite talent that we've delivered over the last year:


MARCUS VISIONARY [TORONTO]
DANCE ROCK, DIGITAL SOUNDBOY, LION DUBS
Marcus has been the name on everyone's lips since rocking our 'Re:Vision' party back in December. We realized it was high time to treat you all once again to the king of the dancehall.



SKRATCH BASTID [HALIFAX/MONTREAL]
2 TIME SCRIBBLE JAM CHAMP, 1200 HOBOS
What can we say that hasn't already been said about The Bastid? How about "HOLY SHIT", when he completely destroyed the dancefloor at 'All Aboard' alongside Shy FX just a few months back. We simply had to see him kick it old-school just one more time.
