JEDI MIND TRICKS have strived to return hip-hop back to the boom-bap roots of the music's Golden Era -- the era when Kool G. Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions and others were consistently breaking new ground while forging a music and a culture. With an unmistakable style steeped in fierce street poetics and raw beats, JMT absolutely turned Victoria out the last time they rolled thru the city. Blazing the opening set for The Living Legends at Sugar, JMT was the group everyone was talking about at the end of the show.....
After relentlessly touring, playing sold-out shows all over North America and Europe JMT returns to Victoria with their infamous, trademarked rowdy stage show....
"When was the last time you saw mosh pits and stage diving at a hip-hop show?" says Vinnie Paz.
This showalso marks the debut of DJ MIKE RELM on Vancouver Island.
Those who know San Francisco's Mike Relm, know his legacy, those who don't are in for a big suprise! With the dexterity of the turntablist... The 6th sense of the party rocker... The music palette of the obsessed record collector... The presence of the freewheelin' Bob Dylan... The couture of a Reservoir Dog... You have Mike Relm.
Genres of music mean absolutely nothing to this champion turntablist. Using the skratch techniques which turned the Hip Hop world upside-down, Relm masterfully manipulates everything from Jimi Hendrix to Beck to Vince Guaraldi to Rage Against the Machine. He made his debut on the silver screen in Doug Pray's award winning film "Scratch", where he was documented in a studio jam session with DJ Shadow.
He's also joined forces with a wide range of today’s top artists including Outkast, Mos Def, Blackalicious, Money Mark, Saul Williams, Nas, The Greyboy All-Stars, MixMaster Mike, Cypress Hill, De La Soul, Wu Tang Clan, Gangstarr, Kelly Osbourne, Donald Trump, and Ron Jeremy.
Yes, he’s played with Donald Trump & Ron Jeremy.
He is the next big thing in the world turntablism, drawing comparisons ranging from Z-TRIP to DJ SHADOW to a Hip Hop version of Napoleon Dynamite.
Do not miss this performance; it will be talked about for years to come….. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
