BAD BOY BILL - BEHIND THE DECKS V2 @ SONAR VANCOUVER EVENT TYPE - DJ DRESS CODE - No WHEN - Friday, February 23, 2007 9:00 PM - 3:00 AM LOCATION - Sonar Vancouver ADDRESS - 66 Water Street MIN. AGE - 19+ VIP & ADVANCE TICKETS - 778-855-0566 or zane@fidohiptop.ca EVENT DETAILS THREEWAY PRODUCTIONS & TRUST presents... BAD BOY BILL with DJ TAZIX & ALEX PEACE Hard-house DJ Bad Boy Bill was born and raised in Chicago, and began mixing records at the age of 14. An avid fan of Chicago radio station WBMX's Hot Mix Five mixing team, Bill landed his big break when none other than Farley Jackmaster Funk gave him his first broadcast gig; he went on to emerge as one of the hottest turntablists on the Windy City scene, and in 1988 took top honors in the Midwest division of DMC's Battle DJ competition. Bad Boy Bill went on to spin records throughout the world, even maintaining a long-term DJ residency in Germany in addition to hosting "Street Mix," a top-rated weekly radio mix show on Chicago's WBBM. He also founded his own label, International House Records, and through its Mix Connection Multimedia Inc. subdivision issued a series of mix tapes, the ongoing Bangin the Box series. Utilizing up to fifty records -- a reflection of his hip-hop background -- where most DJs would use only ten, Bad Boy Bill gained a great reputation for playing fast and loose with the mix, rarely pausing to rest on his laurels. Along with the Bangin the Box series, he's issued several volumes in a four-turntable battle series (with Richard "Humpty" Vission) titled The House Connection. In May of 2000 the bangin' series continued with the release of Bangin in London. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music GuideVIP & ADVANCE TICKETS - 778-855-0566 or zane@fidohiptop.ca

Good to see all the good comments on Bad Boy Bill. I was thinking of hitting up this show, but I wasn't sure he was actually any good to see live. He's got lots of classic tunes, but good producers don't always put on a good shot.

BBB is one of my favs

As much as bbb would probably be fairly entertaining and bring back a lot of memories.

You couldn't pay me to go to sonar.

Sorry guys, but good luck with the show.

automatic · #12 (**permalink**) Feb 21, 07

cubed · #13 (**permalink**) Feb 21, 07

A little old school chicago hardhouse never hurt anyone.

once, when I had to pick him up from the airport, and he was being a dick, a bird pooped on him and I didn't tell him, so he walked around with poop on him all day.

really wanted to check out BBB, but I stayed home sick instead.

Hope the show went great.

CRiXy · #22 (**permalink**) Feb 24, 07

BBB played an amazing set, only 2 hours, but pure gold!

I'm so glad the show wasn't hosted at Plush, I got in and out of Sonar without any bullshit at all.

The crowd last night wasn't that good though, too many nasty cougars, LOL!

Carrie · #23 (**permalink**) Feb 24, 07

the cougars love BBB
