Newly based out of Washington, D.C., the prolific Canadian producer Bit Funk dropped a refresh of one of my favorite all time jams today - ATCQ's 1nce Again (produced by J Dilla). Bright pianos over a spring time groove, get it for the low price of zero dollars . Catch him in Vancouver at the Electric Owl March 30 along with yours truly. posted by @pat_lok

Vancouver's Tough Lovers are a babe band who make feel good indie rock with a whole lotta soul. In the past few months the boys have been particularly busy, as they've had the Peak Performance Project (PPP), an upcoming tour with BESTiE and new jams to keep them occupied. Yesterday they released their latest single "Kids Go Out" and it might just be there best yet. Peep it below. Last Week they sold out PPP showcase #4 at the Red Room and they'll be doing the same thing [...]

El negocio de la música está lleno de bandas con miembros que también trabajaron en otras agrupaciones o decidieron hacer proyectos alternos por aburrimiento o demasiada energía. Nuestra agrupación de hoy de hecho surgió de esta manera. Su nombre es Electric Owls y es, más que una agrupación, un proyecto del músico Andy Herod quien, durante la pausa de su banda original, The Comas, decidió mudarse de Brooklyn a Asheville, Carolina del Norte, con la intención de llevar una vida más relajada. Sin embargo, este no fue el fin de su vida musical sino el inicio [...]

Ya’ll already know about my undying love for Cadence Weapon aka Rollie so I'll keep my swooning to a minimum and focus on his music instead. For the past couple of months Rollie has been teasing us with tweets about new music, even dropping a Grimes collaboration that blew my musical mind. It’s now been confirmed that he will drop 'Hope in Dirt City', the follow up to 2008’s critically acclaimed 'Afterparty Babies' , on May 29. Look out for collaborations with Doldrums and Buck 65, as well as a sound [...]

Winnie loves St. Patrick’s Day, kissing the Irish is one of our favorite pastimes. So, we’re teaming up with Intimate Productions and RadioZero to throw an event that is sure to make our leprechaun friends smirk with envy. And of course banging music will be involved. Riton, with RadioZero DJ’s Cam Dales and Tyler Fedchuck, will be helping us celebrate at the Electric Owl on Saturday, March 17. Riton aka Henry Smithson hails from the United Kingdom, where he has been influencing European dance culture since the early 1990’s. His psychedelic-inspired electro is not [...]
Somewhere into the third or fourth song of former Cardiff U students Los Campesinos' live set at Electric Owl - after ear-tickler "Romance is Boring", "Death to Los Campesinos!" and "Life is a Long Time" - I turned to my gig buddies. "Huh." I said. "Huh, what?" Michelle asked. "I was expecting them to come out swinging, like really, really BIG and blow my mind with high energy," I said, or something to that effect. "But this is straddling a 7 out of 10. I reckon they're halfway through the tour. This is a CLASSIC [...]

You know you're at a hipster show when you make a joke about the "guy in the toque" (beanie/knit hat for you Americans) and your friend asks "which one"? Such was the crowd as East Lahhhndon foursome Male Bonding (now! With added live guitarist Nathan Hewitt from Cheatahs!) at the Electric Owl Lounge in Vancouver on October 21st. But whatever - hipsters can sometimes be appreciative, fingers-on-the-pulse indie rock punk pop soothsayers who comb through underground blogs to find the next Sub Pop buzz band. And so, we hipsters present: Male Bonding! Whom I really [...]
Here's a little mixtape I did with my pal Pat Lok for our new monthly party Daft Funk in Vancouver. We skipped this month but made the mix anyway. If I had turntables and access to high speed internet in 1992 this is the mixtape I would have made for that hot snooty girl in math class with the Guess? sweatshirt who rode horses on Sundays and had elite member status at the tennis club. Daft Funk is a free dance party at the Electric Owl showcasing old school house, diva funk jams, obscure boogie cuts and snotty [...]
