The New Deal's live interpretation of house, trance, breakbeat and drum and bass brought electronic music to live music fans and the band quickly found themselves at the forefront of a new genre of music, dubbed "Live Electro". The New Deal's ten-year career has produced nine records, spawned countless Live Electro bands, garnered numerous award nods and continues to inspire an ever-growing audience throughout North America who flock to their sold-out concerts. Their show at Lee’s Palace on September 6th marks the anniversary of their first pair of gigs at the notorious “Comfort Zone†in downtown Toronto. These were recorded live to cassette tape and shortly thereafter became the band’s debut record, entitled “This Is Liveâ€. With all band members involved in other projects as well as with busy family lives, their touring schedule is not the 100+ shows a year that it used to be. Their story, however, continues with the band recently playing sold-out shows in NYC, Philadelphia, Boston and across the United States. Having been dubbed “the Kraftwerk of the New Millenniumâ€, the New Deal looks to the future with this special recorded evening at Lee’s Palace. The New Deal is Jamie Shields - Keyboards, Darren Shearer - Drums/Beatbox Dan Kurtz - Bass promoted in conjunction with: www.nufunk.ca

This is going to be a great festival! Reminds me of the first Evolve Festival! Big ups Allison! The Chameleon Project is excited about performing - check them out right after Lauzon on Saturday.... expect an hour voyage through dub, jazz, drum n bass, funk and breakbeat!

I wish I could be there!

SMC & MAKE IT FUNKY BRING YOU SUMMER SOUNDCZECH! This coming saturday at el mocambo JULY 26 2008 Featuring DJ CZECH (VAN, PRAUGE) http://www.myspace.com/djczech Most underground-oriented Canadians living on the west coast of Canada are familiar with the legendary Soul Kitchen weekly event at Tommy Africas nightclub in Canadas top ski and snowboard destination, Whistler, British Columbia. Few, however, recall that it was DJ.Czech who introduced the event to BC over thirteen years ago. Indeed, today, Czechs Soul Kitchen remains the longest running club night in Whistler, and continues to showcase some of the worlds renowned DJ talent. Thus, Czechs initial step into Canadas Underground in 1989 has spawned a long prosperous career, for Czech has since become a household name for breaks-lovers everywhere. A Vancouver resident for the thirteen years, Czech has further established powerful draw to the already-thriving local Vancouver club scene. His residencies at Lucy Mae Brown Rusty Trombone Sundays and Le club a GO-GO on Thursdays with Vinyl Ritchie (Wicked Lester), coupled with his vast musical knowledge and impeccable turntable skills, have helped to establish Vancouver internationally as one of Canadas leading cities for up front electronic music. Importantly, though, these residencies have not interfered with his tight touring schedule. Initially self managed, Czechs reputation has led to play at prestigious clubs and massive raves throughout Europe and North America every weekend for last five years. HeadliningAlongside The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Crystal Method, Rabbit in the Moon, Porno for Pyros, and countless others, has not been uncommon for Czech. His next step - writing and producing his own tracks was inevitable. Constantly building his impressive home studio, his prime outlet for his music so far has been Futuristic Funk Records a joint venture involving himself and two other Vancouverites. Already a label in Vancouvers foreground, Futuristic Funk Records is aimed at showcasing no only Czechs own material, but other Canadian talent as well. With such an extensive history in the scene, and so many accomplishments under his belt, it is no surprise that Czech continues to represent Canada as one of the most preeminent breaks DJs in the world. Also Featuring DJ MEZ MICKEY D FARBSIE AS well as a full lineup of bands $10 before midnight! Brought to you by www.makeitfunky.ca www.summermusicconference.com hosted by Thunder
