Grimes Feat. Deniro Farrar
Ask yourself this, what’s better than a vulnerable, angst driven gangster rapper casually calling out a broad on a killer track?
Well that’s easy, the above could be done by using Ryan Hemsworth’s Grimes-approved remix of “Genesis”.
Fortunately for us, that’s exactly what North Carolinian rapper Deniro Farrar did a few days back, and obviously the result is all kinds of trill.
I’m going to skip my spiritual seminar as to not offend any loyal followers, but I must say that this track is fate. In case you haven’t heard, WinnieCooper.net and Timbre Concerts present the beautiful yet darkly mysterious Grimes at Fortune Sound Club tonight! And just in case you didn’t think this could get anymore cray, Born Gold (formerly Gobble Gobble) will be accompanying Grimes to create an ethereal escape from reality. See you on the other side.
While this event is sadly all sold out, I’ve included a few tracks below to help soften your heartbreak. xx.

RICH AUCOIN, AUTACOID & COOL MAN
Tomorrow night at Fortune Sound Club! Winnie Cooper presents: Rich Aucoin (Halifax), Autacoid & Cool Man
Rich Aucoin is a singer songwriter from Halifax. His second release Public Publication is getting good buzz and it might have something to do with the fact that his live performances are so memorable. Expect confetti, parachutes and crowd surfing. This is electro dance pop with a meaning.

Shad / Miracle Fortress @Fortune
Saturday night Scion presented East Vancouver’s Shad and Montreal’s Miracle Fortress at Fortune Sound Club.
A nominee for 2007 Polaris Music Prize, Miracle Fortress is another one of Secret City Record’s gems. Explained as “bedroom club,” their indie pop sound is highly versatile, delivering heavy tech sounds and plenty of reverb.
Most of the kids I chatted to post show had no idea who Miracle Fortress were before tonight – but every single one of ‘em said they would check the band out after the set they had delivered. New record Was I the Wave hit stores Apr 26th.

Juno Award winner (2010) and nominee (2011) for Rap Recording of the year, 2008 Polaris Music Prize nominee and National Posts’ “best rapper in Canada”, Shad K is a Canadian who has been compared to the likes of Common and K-os. A slightly more old-school 90’s sound that focuses on social causes with an air of humor that keeps everyone stoked.
The 5 minute a-cappella Shad turned out kicked everyone’s ass Saturday night. Whereas most of his set was hard to hear over the bass heavy tracks. Song, “Rose Gardens” was a crowd fave and “Old Prince” got everyone hyped. Playing with a live bassist added a genuine flair that really suits Shad’s whole appeal. His new album Tsol is worth checking out.
