Our favourite UK party-rockers finally return a full year after their last amazing Vancity appearance!!! As residents of 2000+ capacity London super-club FABRIC, the PERVERTS have become "rock stars" in their home country. With their deep, deep crates, they are known to drop just about anything that will move the crowd. Aside from being famous for their party-rocking abilities, they are both multiple title holders on the battle DJ circuit. DO NOT miss this rare opportunity to catch these crazy limey's.

DJ MASTERMIND (Toronto, ON) VIRGIN RECORDS
$5 before 11:00 pm - $7 after

Toronto's finest returns! with 15+ years experience in radio, Mastermind is not only a pioneer in the Toronto hiphop scene, but in the Canadian scene. His various radio shows were THE place for U.S. artists to drop by; from LEADERS OF THE NEW SCHOOL to NAS to WU-TANG. His radio shows also helped launch the careers of among other Canadians: SAUKRATES (now signed Def Jam), CHOCLAIR (now signed to Virgin), and KARDINAL OFFISHALL (now signed to MCA). His "Street Legal" mixed CD is perhaps the best hiphop compilation ever released in Canada.

EARLY SHOW - 11:00 pm $10

Old School heads know Ace from Marly Marl's Juice Crew (along with Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Kool G. Rap, Craig G, etc.). He was a part of what the Source magazine called "Greatest Posse Cut of all Time"; The Juice Crew's "Symphony." He was also 1/3 of one of the best collaborations of the 90's; "Crooklyn" (with Special Ed and Buckshot). As a solo artist, he's brought us such classics as " I.N.C. Ride", "Born to Ride", and "Saturday Night Live". Don't miss this legend's Vancity debut.
