    SOULAR SYSTEM ï FAUNA FLASH ï GLIDE ï MENTAL CHATTER ï VERSION XCURSION
    ï TAKE BACK THE DECKS & more....

    Hi everyone,

    Lots of gig and event info to pass on to you, so I'll get right to it.
    As always, a big thank-you goes to all who come out to our events, and
    support in any way. Scenes and communities don't move forward without a
    collective push. This is how we do it, right...

    Starting off with SOULAR system, the new weekly that Sassa'le and I host
    and DJ together. If you're into the sounds of deep house, UK Garage,
    breakbeats and d&b, you'll want to catch us each Saturday night at
    B-Side, the danceclub above Fez Batik at 129 Peter (enter off of
    Richmond and go upstairs).

    This SATURDAY AUGUST 26: DJ and vocalist extraordinaire STACH guests
    alongside Sassaíle and I. You may know Stach as the hip hop DJ and
    co-host of CKLNís ëDroppiní Dimesí show, or perhaps for her wicked
    mixing of deep house and Brazilian flavours. Still others know her as
    the vocalist and frontwoman of MAXELLE, whose "French Connection" has
    been blowing up all over this cityís top underground radio shows. The
    woman has mad, mad talent. Come out and recognize. $7 at the door.

    ** E me back before 3pm Saturday to be our guest for the evening. **

    SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 2: We join forces with milk. events, Izzi Boutique
    and the Mettle gang to throw one big, collective, two floor partay,
    featuring special guest DJ's FAUNA FLASH, of Germany's infamous and
    excellent Compost label. For those unfamiliar, FAUNA FLASH produce
    innovative, jazzy and Latin-tinged drum & bass, and are also two thirds
    of the Rainer Truby Trio. Here's a press/bio blurb to tell you more:

    "Germany's answer to Reprazent, Fauna Flash have exploded into the music
    world with their innovative, uptempo, sample led fusion of Latin
    percussion and 60's grooves style. Working together with Rainer Truby,
    to form the Truby Trio, these Germans guided us into 2000 with a bit of
    bossa and a lot of bass. They've been called upon by music legends Bobby
    Matos, Fredric Galliano, Extended Spirit, and Nitin Sawhney to remix
    their work, as well as licensed their own music to the Future Sound of
    Jazz Vol 4 compilation."

    Join us as milk., Mettle, SOULAR and Izziboutique work together to
    present
    one night inside Fez Batik & B-Side.

    In addition to Fauna Flash, the lineup features:

    Sassa'le & Denise Benson (SOULAR system)
    Felix & Gani (milk./izziboutique)
    Mike Blotto, Michael Markus, Lazy Ray and Tyler Kerr (mettle)

    $10 will get you into both spaces, to fully enjoy this two-floor
    collaborative bash. Advance tickets guarantee entry, and can be
    purchased at the Vice store on Queen St. West. In holiday/long weekend
    spirit, it will be $10 at the door as well, pending availability.

    Again, thanks to all who've been supporting SOULAR system in its
    infancy. We look forward to seeing you out these coming weeks, and to
    building the night into the fall and (dare I say it, winter).
