The long weekend is nearly upon us (yay!) and if you’re in Vancouver, here’s a reminder of some of the great things happening:

Thursday April 9
SOUTH RAKKAS CREW at Library Square. Winnie Cooper’s selectors will be there. Details HERE.

Friday April 10
JEREMY JAY at The Media Club. Winnie held a ticket giveaway courtesy of Far Away and the responses we got were awesome. Thanks everyone who entered!

Saturday April 11
MEXICAN DRUG PATROL with THE RUB (band) at Funky Winker Beans for No More Strangers.

To avoid confusion, I made sure to note that ‘The Rub’ band will be this Saturday… not the NYC DJ party rockers.

BUT… Winnie says, “stay tuned“.

Tricky – Council Estate (South Rakkas Remix)

Coming this Thursday, a highly recommended Winnie favourite will be rolling through Vancouver.

South Rakkas Crew representing Mad Decent will be doing it up HUGE to get the long weekend started.

The DJ lineup for this event is nuts, with a bunch of local superstars plus those nerdy Winnie Cooper DJs.

We can’t wait… come through, get loose!

Check the Facebook event page for details.

Peep this SRC mixtape to get an idea of how awesome MEGA MEGA will be on April 9.

Jeremy Jay – We Were There

Mr Flores and I are opening for South Rakkas at their Vancouver show. Like OMG. Can you believe it? Neither can I. Stoked

South Rakkas Crew – Mad Again (Scott Cooper Boot)

Piper Davis is from Vancouver, she’s also super rad.  She has a song of the month club that if you sniff around the internet right, you might be able to find

Piper Davis – Like A Stone

The original version of this is my jam right now. Don’t you love it when you don’t know the words to a song but you sing it all day anyways?? GOSH

The XX – Teardrops (Cover Womack and Womack)

This song would be more appropriate on Valentines day, but just as my excuse went to my girlfriend for not having a gift… Everyday is Valentines day!!!! this is a joke. I would never do that.

Love not hate.  Love love love lovelove.

Orange Juice – L.O.V.E. (Love)

Don’t beat people up. 

Strange Boys – Heard You Wanna Beat Me Up

This song makes me think of love making. Did I say that out loud? I meant, suuuuuuuuuushi. 

Chic – I Want Your Love (Todd Terje Edit)
