So “Everybody’s Party” has come and gone and it looked like all of Vancouver’s good people showed up once again…and then some! While the rest of the city was pounding the pavement we took it underground shaking the foundation up.
Nina Mendoza opened up the night to set the mood right for the celebration. Then our main squeeze DJ Bles-sed along with guest DJ Gerald MF’n C proceeded to turn it out. Good friends: Jr. Flo (Eh! Team DJs – Toronto) and Rob Rizk (Experience Long Weekends) also blessed the soundsytem to cap off the night/ introducing us to the morning.
A Hastings Set Party wouldn’t be a Hastings Set Party without dope Live performances: a jam session with full band led by our peeps Omar Khan and Benjamin Arce …and DAMN were we fortunate to have Love & Electrik and Curtis Santiago come down and do their DAMN THING! (thanks for being patient at the Load-in guys and gals!) They showed us raw, live, original and innovative artists are alive and kickin…and shit…it’s right here.
So we usually don’t do this but it’s a roll call right now…shout outs to:
