Tonight!
The Art Of Beatz Sixth Anniversary Throwdown
So look at that, we're six. A handful of hosts, some cake and one simple
idea,
These are the basics that we reflect on as we celebrate six years of the
Art Of Beatz.
We had a very simple plan when we started, to present radio by the people,
for the people, because of the people. To take the best in terms of DJ
culture and electronic music that Vancouver has to offer and to give it to
the world. To take the best that the world has to offer and to give it back
to Vancouver.
Every Thursday night for the last six years at CFRO, we have done exactly
that, dropping bombs from some of the world's finest and giving kids fresh
out of their bedrooms their first chance at rocking it. We have been
blessed by the open arms of a community that has been more than willing to
come play amazing live and DJ sets for us from 0 to 200 bpm.
We've never needed snappy catch phrases, although you will find us talking
about the light at the end of the musical tunnel, beats with a Zed and
asking people about cake pretty much every week. We've always felt that the
quality of our guests and the tunes we've played; be they house, techno,
ambient, jungle, dub or drone, have always stood up. Good shit doesn't need
a pretty bow if it's good shit.
We are indebted to the DJs and producers across all genres that have come
and joined us in studio, cut us exclusive mixes or allowed us to broadcast
their wonder live. It is a pleasure to be able to work with you and to show
the world just what Vancity reps with. We'd shout out all six years worth of
you but that's more pages than we've got. You're all up at

We are blessed to continue to have a home at 102.7 FM on your radio dial.
CFRO, Vancouver's Coop Radio has been a shelter and a welcoming presence,
providing a welcome alternative to the commercial airwaves.
Above all, we'd like to thank all of you that have ever tuned in,
downloaded a podcast, come out to one of our birthday parties or shown up
at a live broadcast. Without you we'd just be pumping the magic into the
ether. This show has always been and will always be for you. The ones in
the middle of the dance floor, the ones with the headphones on, the ones
with their heads in the bassbins and their eyes on the stars.
Tonight, Kuma and Motomasa are joined by some cake, possibly some beers and maybe some special guests to play whatever the hell they want.
Six years deep and you know we won't stop.
