Tonight!

Hour 1: CALAMALKA (Lighta/Plug Research)

Beginning in the year 2000 Vancouver based producer/ musician Calamalka a.k.a. Michael Campitelli has been steadily releasing music and garnering praise in publications such as URB “calamalka is my chronic on this e.p.”, XLR8R ”we may have just stumbled upon the bastard child of Pole and Monolake” and most recently with his latest effort “Shredders Dub” has managed to earn a hearty 8. on the much lauded Pitchfork.com. Over the last five years Calamalka has worked with labels such as the Miami based Metatronix and Los Angeles’s Plug Research as well as scoring his first feature film soundtrack for “On The Corner” a Vancouver based indie hit directed by Nathaniel Geary and subsequently a winner of numerous awards locally and over seas that was also released as an official soundtrack cd with Transiberian records. Calamalka has performed live P.A. recently with.... Kode 9, Benga + Hatcha, Falty DL, Machine Drum, Pole, Deadbeat, The Bug, Megasoid, Eskmo, Filastine and RSD.

Calamalka is currently working on a new album of off kilter-minimal-funky-hip-hop that will be released in early 2010 and is currently an active member with music collectives Lighta! Sound and Brief Case Rockers.

Hour 2: Kuma and Motomasa (TKG/AOB)

Kuma may play some boom bap in advance of his Friday gig at 917 Main with Phowa and the mighty Calamalka. He may also do a William Basinski megamix. We're never quite sure.

Motomasa will come deep, he'll likely come on the house tip. Then again, he may play the Stone roses again and make you dance like a 16 year old raver. We're never quite sure.

What we do know is that after six years, it's still fuckin' awesome.
