SMALLTOWN DJ's, Calgary - Small Town DJs

Mike Grimes and Pete Emes are those dudes known as Smalltown DJs. Based in Calgary, AB - they currently (since 1999) run a weekly known as Hai Karate.

Hai Karate and the Smalltown DJs were born out of the ashes of old style block parties, punk rock shows at community halls and the early nineties rave scene. Hanging with these dudes on any given night you will hear funk, pop, dancehall, rock, hip hop, house, breaks, club and bmore. No pretension allowed, only party and dance.

The duo has released several mix cds and vinyl 12"s over the past few years - garnering attention and accolades from the far reaches of the globe. They were featured on national television in April 2006 - on Much Music's Going Coastal. Circa Footwear has been sponsoring Smalltown's endeavours since 2000, helping to make sure they always look good.

The Hai Karate Allstar remix Eps are being released in 2006 to celebrate the night's sixth anniversary. Over the past six years the Smalltown Djs have hosted and played alongside such artsits as Afrika Bambaataa, Lateef, Lyrics Born, Dj Assault, Jeru the Damaja, Tommie Sunshine, Chromeo, Mike Relm, Cosmo Baker and Dj Ayres ATrak, Low Budget, Diplo, James Lavelle, Kool Keith, Z-trip and Dj Radar, Fort Knox Five, and Maseo from De la Soul among many others. They also toured with the Steve-O from Jackass to promote his Out on Bail DVD.

With special guests...

If you're down with that mid-tempo goodness - 105 - 125bpm ish, then come check out PrinceIce and I from 10 till midnight... then we're off to the rave party.

LOL.

Their remix of Eric B and Rakim's "I know you got soul" is enough alone to get me eying this.

Back room is very disco, front room they kinda went for a more modern thing. Pretty cool setup.

**sNyx** · #13 (**permalink**) Jun 21, 08

Sounds neat! I remember the back room was already redone like a year ago? (if memory serves correct) it was a marble bar with the booth on the furthest left of the bar. Booths along the opposite wall from the bar. They wouldn't have changed that room much I hope.

Fuck... didn't even know about this.. I bet it went off, they drop it!!
I saw Maceo Parker last night so I guess I couldn't have gone anyways...

Thanks to everyone who made it out to this on Saturday! It was good seeing Miska and her birthday crew down! -- I would have bought a round but Ryan and I had to bail after our set to play at that rave... we literally only had 45 minutes to get there, setup, etc.

For those that haven't seen the newly reno'd Shine, be sure to join and check out the Shine Facebook group!
