Merging dubstep and glitch intensity with funk and classic music from the 30’s and
beyond, Defunk has surely made a name for himself in the electronic music world. He has helped create the new fresh style of ghettoswing, combining elements of big band and swing music with breaks and hip hop. He has also received support from the biggest names in ghetto funk, and experimented fusing different sounds into new subgenres. He has been released on three different international labels, but holds true that giving his music away for free is the best option.His live performance is always one of a journey. He switches tempos, moods and sounds to fit the time and place, and brings the audience for a ride that explores many facets of bass music. Whether he’s mashing up classic songs you grew up with or smashing your face off with new beats and rhythm’s, he is guaranteed to make you move!
Lush (Toronto, ON)
http://www.djlushtoronto.tumblr.com
LUSH describes his sound as Jungle Music at 130, 140 and 175 bpm. Sounds crazy? Maybe, but with Lush the single most dominant trend over his 19 years of DJing has always been unbridled passion for the music that he plays.Widely known and respected as a pioneering Jungle/DnB DJ in Canada, the DJ’s DJ as he has been frequently called by his peers has been a “student†of the art of DJing and a fol lower of the Hardcore Continuum from Hardcore thru to Jungle, into Drum & Bass; and forward onto the current genre less mutations and hybrids of Bass music. Whatever style Lush chooses to play, the underlying theme is always music with feeling and soul, with a heavy Junglist leaning and room shattering bass. He approaches it all with the same enthusiasm and razor sharp precision.A true champion of the underground, Lush has always been respected as a DJ who takes risks breaking new music and setting musical trends, but yet somehow putting it together in such a way as to always have the viewpoint of the dance floor on his side throughout. His super technical rolling mixing style has been his trademark though out his career, winning over crowds and other DJ’s alike with his high energy puzzle piece mixing. Lush’s connection with the people on the dance floor comes from his years of being in raves himself, always out in the crowd taking in all the of the sights, sounds and energy of the music and scene that he loves. The DJ’s DJ shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Hi Jay,
Track sounds nice, well recorded, was that done at Snappy's Home studio?
Intro reminds me on Jimmy Cliff's Harder They Come. Nice message of being the best you can be. Is that your guitar solo? if so nice one. Horns are nice addition, some nice builds.
Toronto misses you, coming back anytime soon? Hope to see you at Irie Fest or Rasta Fest or Hippy Fest...
-
somehow playing "Staying Alive" doesn't seem like a fitting tribute...
-
here's a recent live version of the same song..
-
it does look pretty cool, but how did all the jambands fans go live electronica?
-
love those fat cats... i do hope they do some Band - would be fitting band to play those tunes.
<>
-
this should be good.. it's been a long time since I've seen the Fatties.
I did hear recently that Joel Stouffer formerly of the Fat Cats, won a Juno as a part of Dragonette... so indirectly the Fat Cats owed some praise for aligning themselves with great musicians.
see ya there!

This is coming up! Biodiesel are great!

Great Write up in Blogto Guys!
MUSIC | BioDiesel & Chameleon Project
If 'livetronica' is your thing or you are curious, you will want to check out this very cool double-bill tonight at the Monarch Tavern! BioDiesel is a group centered around the heavy drumming chops of Johnny Rabb, and live bass and laptop/synth work fills out the sound with influences coming from all modern musical corners, including breakbeat, D'n'B, house, and so much more. These guys have been touring heavily, so you can count on them to be in top form tonight. Chameleon Project are an established, newly revitalized TO band that are on the same page stylistically, but with more of a live element that is augmented by electronics: soulful, funky, morphing jams always abound at their gigs. This is going to be a great night of cutting-edge music - be prepared to dance!
The Monarch Tavern (12 Clinton Street) 9PM $12
