picking records

history of dance

 
alright now, here we go. less than a week away from the debut history of dance party at the waldorf. both jason lev and myself are digging deep to bring you the best in sound dimensions. what to expect? well, i'll speak on behalf of my february 4th city limits discotheque DJ partners kamandi and the stunt man when i say that we'll be dropping everything from the clash to candido, loose ends to laid back and back again. there will be AM gold, funky reggae, groovy rock, 1960's soul, alternative classics, hard disco, boogie, and pop. and yes, we'll be lugging around crates of OG black vinyl 7"s/12"s/LPs to make this happening happen. no diss to computer DJs, but this is simply how we do... have always done... and will always do...  like the english beat, we "just can't stop it..." call us old-fashioned, but there's no turning back now. while i'm really tiring of incessant hollow promoting, we really need your support here. to turn the tides if you will. to show the the cookie cutter set how it's really done. now i know i'm not the only one who's bored of the lowest common denominator club nights that plague the majority of vancouver's booze and cruise establishments. and it's hella annoying to hear local DJs belly ache about how they don't even play music they like because that's what's expected of them to get paid. well, we're going far beyond that, bucking the trend, bringing back feeling into the mix, and expressing ourselves with love... so needless to say, bring your dancing shoes, good vibrations, and we'll do our humble best to help set your night right. ok, ok...
it's (almost) party time!!!

what: history of dance
when: friday, february 4, 2011
time: 10 pm-2 am
where: waldorf hotel (1489 east hastings street)

all the best,
sipreano

H.O.D. #1

ok, here you go...
this is the jam! i can safely say that there's nothing like it in vancouver right now. for me, it's simply a celebration of music and love of the dance. i'm riding the rock and pop tunes right out, the way they were intended to be listened to (*note: fleetwood mac, the rolling stones, etc... do not need any extra "beats" thrown on top of it... they're perfect as is!)... i like my 1960's-1970's music raw and my disco hard (and soft too)... but yes, we will boogie... to OGs on wax! w/ friends, family, and lovers. boss sounds from london to tokyo, new york to brazil, jamaica to toronto (and back again). if you wanna know the roots, peep this... if you trust your local DJ, peep this... if you like to get lifted, peep this...
we'll see you on the 4th!!!
sip
*i'll let jason lev drop jewels regarding his truth is light room, but rest assured it will bring each and every drop of musical madness he is known for world-wide... we're both ecstatic to be throwing this party with/at the waldorf hotel...

City Limits Discotheque PR:

Do the words Graceland, Luv-a-Fair, Red Lounge, Twilight Zone, Chameleon Urban Lounge, Sugar Refinery, Starfish Room, Ms T's and Town Pump mean anything to you? Hearkening back to the once vibrant spirit of independent Vancouver nightlife that has long since vanished, City Limits Discotheque in the Waldorf Cabaret is a return to form. Featuring an eclectic and timeless array of dance music—from classic UK indie rock to American R&B, funk, Jamaican reggae, world-beat, 1960's garage, 1970's AM gold, black disco, and European electronic—decades and genres will hang together in union. Songs, some well loved, others, long forgotten, will open your mind to new dimensions, but don't forget to bring your dancing shoes. These grooves are set to move. Featuring resident selector Sipreano (Light In The Attic Records), each monthly edition will bring fresh faces into the mix along with special guest DJs from around the world...

This month we are proud to showcase Kamandi (Soulcial) and The Stunt Man (Titan Sound). Kamandi cut his teeth at the Chameleon Urban Lounge and various sheebens on Hastings Street during the mid-1990's. Currently running the Zunga sound system in Powell River, B.C., he shares the stage with The Stunt Man, Vancouver's #1 funk, 1980's, and Hip-Hop DJ.

truth is right

wowzers, just spent some time on jason lev's incredible truth is light website and blog yesterday and wanted to spread the love... jason is a good fellow, an oddball eccentric of the best kind. he brings passion and soul to DJ'ing and all of his projects (*peep the killer 7"/12" vinyl edits for sale!!! lots of audio to listen to as well...). it was sweet to see him getting a bit more local shine a few years ago when disco became all the rage (after grinding it out for eons and learning from the masters in deep concentration). but folks, please know that lev's work goes far beyond fashion and trends. we are blessed to have this man RIGHT HERE in vancouver!!! end gush. peace
