Tonight!

As we continue our membership drive celebrations..

Hour 1: Sean Dimitrie (Bombay Records)

Currently Dimitrie is busy extending his abilities into the artistic direction of his fellow label mates, while producing full-length projects with up and coming hip-hop artist Daybi, and singer/songwriter Tim Fuller. Outside of the studio, Dimitrie’s partnership with Fuller extends onto the stage, where a unique fusion of modern laptop technology and old school soul singing flair is tearing up dance floors. “I think the direction of music is all going back to live – when Timmy and I perform it’s all improvised, I call it spontaneous composition.” Their latest album “The Slightest Touch” out on Bombay is a testament to their dynamic collaboration, out in stores spring 2007.


"Lately I’m so much more influenced by producers than musicians. A certain producer on a project is reason enough to buy an album”. A producer himself since 1992 he counts amongst his collaborators Tim Fuller, DJ Ali, Thomas Osaze, Nav Bhinder, Vernell Delong, Rasoul, Gavin Bongo, Eddie Amador, SWAG & Christine Ngyuen. Dimitrie also has an impressive line up of remix credits which include Nancy Wilson’s “If I had my way” and Kerri Chandler’s “Avareh”. Recent hits include his latest remix on San Francisco Label ‘Smash Hit’, of Jrod Indigo’s rendition of Prince’s “Indigo Music”, the international release of “PIMP” on Germany’s ‘Loco United’, along with “Precious Things” a collaboration with UK’s Rob Pearson and Asad Rizvi.


Dimitrie is best known for his original productions and slamming remixes for such labels as Bombay Records, Smash Hit, Leaf, Disorient, Transport, Village and BMG. Playing the regularly across North America, Asia and Europe, he has torn up dance floors from New York to Tokyo. His most memorable sets have taken him as far as Thailand where he performed at events such as Ko Phangan’s legendary Full Moon Parties. Always in search of new inspiration, Dimitrie has also recorded all over the world producing live recordings with a wide range of gifted artists from Puerto Rico to Los Angeles. “Traveling gives you a good idea of what music is, because there’s different trends in different parts of the world at any given moment”.


Hour 2: The Art Of Beatz DJs (Lady Eve, Motomasa, Kuma)

Seeing as we're coming in off the high of a Vancouver Canucks four game sweep of the St.Louis Blues, I expect a happy second hour. Perhaps the non-stop dancing set. Maybe some raving. At least a wee shuffle in the corner.
