WAX ROMEO(CALGARY)

Listen to Wax Romeo
22 year old Wax Romeo is undoubtably the world's greatest lover, but when he's not breastfeeding, he can be found cobbling together funk tunes in the studio, or playing at Hai Karate every Thursday with Calgary' finest, the Smalltown Djs. His forthcoming Ep on Calgary's Bigfoot Records has recieved such praise as,
"A real beautiful party rocker!" - Malente
"Belters...I need them." - Boca45
He has also done remix work for west-coast heavyweights Wicked Lester, reworking their classic club thumper,
Where's My Honey, featuring Moka Only, which is scheduled to be released on Bigfoot in the spring of 2006. He pulls
influence from the likes of the Fort Knox Five, and west coast party-chameleons, Vinyl Ritchie and the Smalltown Djs.
Expect to hear an eccletic blend of funk, rock, disco, dancehall and breaks when you see him play, so grab a drink and
throw some 'bows: it's Bamboleo time.
BIG LEAGUE CHU'S -BIRTHDAY BASH!www.bigleaguechu.com

Come party with us as Big League chu celebrates his....Uh How old is he? Regardless you know that he will bring the funk. Colin Chu, better known as Big League Chu, is simply the leading DJ talent in Canada?s breakbeat scene today. After nearly
a decade of DJing, his name is synonymous with the funky, party-happy sound that?s become Chu?s rallying call - and it's one that crowds answer faithfully.
Passion for music and fun are what motivates Chu, who plays the piano, flute and guitar, and counts the Dave Matthews Band
and Public Enemy as his biggest musical influences. It’s this good-natured respect for good times and eclectic sounds that
has garnered this humble DJ of Hong Kong and Singaporean descent to such a steady stream of press, from underground publications like Tribe and Klublife to mainstream outlets like the Toronto Star and Eye weekly.
KAE SUNhttp://www.kaesunmusic.com

Kae Sun alongside his band are gradually sculpturing a sound that blends the the traditional rhythms of Africa with the
"boom bap" sound of hip-hop and the spirit lifting melodies of soul music. This sound is showcased on his upcoming debut
cd "Soliloquy" to be released worldwide on Life Records Entertainment this winter. Make It Funky is proud to present Kae
Sun as the live element for this event sure to rock a party right.
