ECCODEK has emerged as one of Canada’s brightest new talents on the dub and global fusion scene. Their innovative melding of downtempo, tribal, electronic and ethnic voices recently had U.S. magazine Global Rhythm boasting, “Eccodek reveals the face of global music.†Exclaim! calls the new Voices Have Eyes a much anticipated album from Canada’s best known world beat artistâ€. ECCODEK’s latest has been sitting in both the Earshot! and Chart Attack top 10 world and electronic charts for months while making waves internationally. Current negotiations with White Swan World - Ryko will soon take the project to the international stage as Voices… and the previous release More Africa in Us are set for re-release in North America. Also look for the release of the title track on PALM PICTURES’ Summer release Earth Rise. www.eccodek.com Toronto’s DUB COLLECTIVE are no strangers to the dub community, creating a bonafide juggernaut of steppers dub, roots reggae, roots dub and electro dub sounds which is new to the Toronto scene. Unleashing a heady stew of live improvisation where the 3-piece wrecking crew trade off on a myriad of instruments, often mid-song. Weaving old school reggae, sweet vocal melodies and seriously spaced out synths, overtop a bedrock of deep rhythms, DUB COLLECTIVE is sure to have even the most jaded cynic testing the low end theory. www.versionxcursion.com - www.dubmatix.com MEDICINEMAN, from No Man’s Land - CIUT 89.5 FM continues to demonstrate why he is the pre-eminent world fusion DJ in the Toronto area and arguably in Canada. His mid-week global groove show consistently ranks among the top of the heap for popularity and listenership. It’s no secret why labels like Six Degrees, Realworld, Wagram, Palm Pictures, Stereo Deluxe and Echo Beach go to the doctor when a new release needs to hit the airwaves. A tastemaker of the highest order and regular contributor to Toronto’s festival, concert and club scene, MEDICINEMAN will spin sets throughout the night to keep the dub thumping and heart’s pumping. ROLLIN CASH SOUND SYSTEM Rollin's Cash\s (Hot Pie Records) sound is a combination of music he has a deep respect for; classic roots dub/reggae and ol'school funk mashed up with modern & relevant sounds from todays world - breaks, step, hop, grime, and downtempo. Playing in a live setting with members of Manervous Beat, High Plains Drifter and The Irie Band - with Rollin performing on the decks with Serato - this improvisational outfit will feed off the energy and vibe of the Dub Transmission concept - deep grooves, trance like bass lines and a penchant for the unexpected. www.djrollincash.com websites: www.versionxcursion.com www.dubmatix.com www.nufunk.ca www.eccodek.com www.djrollincash.com www.revivalbar.com www.fusicology.com www.tribe.ca www.torontoraves.com www.jambands.ca www.jamhub.ca

(See full review by Sarshar Hosseinnia, www.discorder.ca) Funk, electro, reggae, hiphop & groove – Nelson, BC's Wassabi Collective brings it all, and they're thrilled to be coming back to Toronto on their 2007 Back To School tour with a fantastic new album "Stories Not Forgotten". Wassabi has been receiving nationwide acclaim and attention, and are now making noise in the U.S., having been featured this spring in Relix as this essential jam-rock magazine's Number ONE "On the Verge" band. They have shared the stage along their staggering club and festival touring road with live and DJ acts such as: Bedouin Soundclash, K-OS, Micheal Franti and Spearhead, Hot Hot Heat, Randy Bachman, Femi Kuti & The Positive Force, Adam Shaikh, Bassnectar and more. Wassabi Collective is: Melissa Meretsky (vocals and percussion), Brent 'Gisto' Hongisto (guitar and vocals), Jimmy Lewis (drums and vocals), Scott Milne (bass) and Rahj Levinson (keyboards). Shane Philip www.shanephilip.com Inspired by the simplicity of Ben Harper and the didgeridoo work of Richard Bridge, Vancouver Island-based multi-instrumentalist Shane instinctively blends the Weissenborn style of guitar playing with the earth-shaking vibrations of didgeridoo, and the dance-inducing beat of a kick drum; creating the sound and energy of a full band. The first question people often ask when they see Shane play for the first time is, "Is all that sound coming from him?" Shane's grooves have a tendency to get entire audiences onto the dance floor. "When they dance, it is a physical manifestation of what I am playing and it is such a powerful feeling. They just pass the energy right back to me and by watching people move, I alter the rhythms and accents and it's kind of like a conversation back and forth. Like a conversation, there are emotional tensions as well as emotional and physical releases. It is truly magical." Big League Chu www.BigLeagueChu.com Colin Chu, better known as Big League Chu, is simply the leading DJ talent in Canada's breakbeat scene today. After nearly a decade of DJing, his name is synonymous with the funky, party-happy sound that?s become Chu's rallying call - and it's one that crowds answer faithfully. Passion for music and fun are what motivates Chu, who plays the piano, flute and guitar, and counts the Dave Matthews Band and Public Enemy as his biggest musical influences. It's this good-natured respect for good times and eclectic sounds that has garnered this humble DJ of Hong Kong and Singaporean descent to such a steady stream of press, from underground publications like Tribe and Klublife to mainstream outlets like the Toronto Star and Eye weekly. As Make It Funky's main resident, Colin dynamic sets and down to earth nature has made him Toronto's most sought after performer. Make it Funky www.makeitfunky.com www.myspace.com/makeitfunky Make it Funky is a Canadian based Nu Funk; Mid tempo Breaks, Rare Retro Grooves DJ/Turntablism, concert experience. Focusing on introducing new talent both live band and dj alike to the Toronto area, Make It Funky has quicky become the promo team towatch for.
