The teams at CARGO are extremely excited to bring you this amazing CANADA DAY celebration:
WHEN: Friday, July 1st - CANADA DAY! WHERE: Plush Nightclub @ The Plaza of Nations! --- 19+ (two pieces of ID required)  --= A MASSIVE CARGO CANADA DAY PARTY =-- Playing a 2-hour set of House:  BOY GEORGE - UK Boy George's real name is George O'Dowd and believe it or not, he was a DJ before he was in Culture Club! From 1979 he worked as a DJ alongside Jeremy Healy until he joined forces with DJ Michael Craig and drummer Jon Moss in 1982 to form the 80's super group we know as Culture Club. Over the next four years, the group made history with their music including the huge hits "Karma Chameleon" and "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" then dissolving in 1986. In 1989 he formed his own record label, More Protein and fronted a new band called Jesus Loves You. His autobiography, Take It Like A Man, recalling his extraordinary life, was published in 1995 after which Culture Club briefly reformed in 1999 for a tour and a new album. Today Boy George is recognized foremost as a leading dance music DJ, a solo artist and most recently for his Broadway musical Taboo. CARGO is very excited to have a celebrity and icon such as Boy George with us to bring in Canada Day right further proving to Vancouver to TRUST that Cargo’s SOUND will keep you TWISTED! With special opening guest...  MARC VEDO - UK Full bio: Marc Vedo is a DJ with a pedigree of years of experience, and still only 26. A most sought after DJ, with his own club brand blowing up dance floors across the UK and a soaring international career playing regularly for the biggest names in the scene. Marc's been making a lasting impression on clubbers everywhere with his uplifting funky sounds and his peak time trance sets. Having played at many of the worlds leading club brands from Godskitchen and Ministry of Sound to UK festivals such as Homeland's and Escape in the park. This combined with his incredible technical ability, was what prompted Mixmag to dub him 'the next Sasha' a few years back, all in all some would say Marc has the complete package and the makings of a modern day superstar DJ. A bit premature perhaps for such a young fledgling talent, but DMC also recognized the potential and were the first agency to sign him. Sundissential were next recruiting Marc as a full resident, with Miss Moneypennies and Slinky following suit shortly after. Marc's residency with the legendary Miss Moneypennies lasted for 5 years and Slinky for 3 years. Having been demonstrating his ability at the highest level, both at home in the UK and on the international circuit for many years, playing both house and trance at many of the worlds top clubs and venues. The Promoter: Keeping true to both his roots, as well as pioneering his own trance brand Koolwaters, and playing for some of the biggest names in the trance world, Marc has taken his funky passion into his own hands, by starting "Something Fruity". Only in its infancy, this new night of quality funky house music, which Marc himself is a resident at, has already been dubbed by Mixmag as one of the best up and coming funky nights in the country for 2003. Pete Tong rated it as his top night out on his essential selection on Radio 1. Regular guest have included Norman Jay, Smokin' Jo, Danny Rampling, Sandy Rivera, Felix Da House Cat, Junior Sanchez, Boy George, Rob Da Bank, Junior Jack & Kid Crème and ATFC. Whilst "Something Fruity" has been making its mark in the industry, Koolwaters has more than established itself as one of the current market leaders in the dance industry. Having booked artistes such as The Chemical Brothers, Sasha, Paul Oakenfold, Ferry Corsten, Armin Van Buuren, Fergie, Judge Jules, Lisa Lashes, Mauro Picotto and Marco V for its various club events across the globe. As head promoter of Koolwaters, Marc and his dedicated team are now heavily concentrating on organizing more overseas events and festivals for 2004 and beyond, whilst continuing to build on the clubs UK success. The Producer: On the production front, Marc is currently in the studio with The Conductor and The Cowboy duo (Serious) working on a follow up song to the duo's hugely successful Top 40 hit, "Feeling This Way". The single reached number 27 in the UK Charts and was signed to 17 compilations worldwide, including the popular "Annual" by Ministry of Sound. Marc's own production credits, include "Format" (Nukleuz), "DJ's make a move" (Loopgroove), "The Poll trax" which Marc co-produced with Steve Thomas, as well as re-mix work for Nu-Life, Nukleuz, Loopgroove and Koolwaters Recordings. Marc has recently completed mixed album for a joint compilation CD album by Koolwaters and Wella. The album, which will see 45,000 CD's distributed across 1,800 salons through out the UK, consist of a collection of unsigned tracks from new producers as well as a number of Marc's own productions. The Press / Television / Radio: In the past Marc has received excellent media coverage across all reputable culture and dance music magazines such as DJ Mag. In 1999 Marc was voted in the top 50 most eligible bachelors in the UK by Company Magazine and was a centerfold feature in The Sun's top ten most eligible men. This lead to Marc's appearance on several television programs with the most notable being Channel 4's "Gods Gift" - the show featured a selection of young bachelors who were pitted against one another for a final date with a selected female contestant. The same year also saw Marc received the title of 'DJ Face of the year' on top of being dubbed 'the next Sasha' by Mixmag. Overseas Marc has received further more media exposure with television appearances for the Koolwaters and Urban Bug Turkish coastline festival on CNN Asia, MTV Asia as well as all local and national television stations throughout Turkey. He was joined alongside such global superstars as The Chemical Brothers, Orbital and Sasha. Whilst over in Canada for touring for Koolwaters he was involved in a national advertising campaign that saw him feature in many of the countries top clubbing bibles and radio shows. Marc has also received similar promotional coverage whilst on international duty for such brands as Ministry of Sound and Slinky. In 2001 the popular southwest radio station Galaxy 101, impressed by Marc's rise in clubland, approached him with an offer of becoming part of the 'new breed' of presenters for the station. Marc agreed and began hosting the weekly Friday night dance show. This position last for over a year however, sadly due to work commitments becoming too consuming, Marc and Galaxy parted ways. Still a regular feature in many of the world's reputable dance music and culture magazines and websites as well as appearing on radio shows across the globe, Marc's media presence has always been a growing part of his illustrious career.

And Sonar is a venue that can only hold a total (that's both rooms) of 600 peeps or so. Being that it's Canada Day and its Boy George, Plush allows us to ram over 1000 in there all in one room. It's going to be CRAZY! |

When he was last here at Sonar, Boy George played the craziest remixes of the tracks that the Culture Club once produced. I have no idea who's they were, but they were crazy... This funky Electro-style. It was good times and driving the crowd nuts! |

Boy George was here last year, so was Planet of the Drums.
You can't say that they won't both be back next year. You might not bring either of them back out, but someone might. I might be thinking about going to Seattle to see Ferry Corsten again! |
