DJ BIG JACKS _ BLACK MAGIC
The long awaited Black Magic mix is finally here! This is the first time DJ Big Jacks has dropped a release of this kind featuring 70 + minutes of modern soul magic from the late 70′s and early 80′s. While certain tracks have been sampled by the likes of Jay-Z, Dilla, and Madlib among others, the focus here is not who has sampled what. Black Magic spotlights the original music itself, as a collection of personal favourites from the era mixed by Big Jacks and created for the lover in you. So without further delay we present to you, Black Magic…

Adrian Hayles had the pleasure of designing this ‘Christmas with The Salads & Friends’ album cover for our friends the Salads a few weeks back. Check it out.
All proceeds from the purchase of ‘Christmas with The Salads & Friends’ will be donated to a local charity (TBD).
eOne Music Canada has signed an exclusive distribution deal with mauiwowie records and is proud to present ‘Christmas with The Salads & Friends’, a digital download album tentatively set for a December 6th release.
The 15-track album is the first all-Canadian ska/punk holiday album ever, and features such Canuck bands as The Salads and IllScarlett festively covering Christmas classics and performing original tunes.
Toronto-based rock-reggae band The Salads wanted the opportunity to work on an album with friends, focusing on simply having fun creating punk rock music together; thus, ‘Christmas with The Salads & Friends’ came together. The Salads also plan to release their new record for the spring of 2012, their first full-length album since the 2007 release of ‘THE BIG PICTURE’.
IllScarlett are a fellow Canadian rock-reggae fusion band and have been compared musically to the likes of California-based band Sublime. They have made a name for themselves internationally, promoting each of their four major studio albums, latest being the 2009 release of ‘1UP!’. They can be heard performing Christmas Vacation on the ‘Christmas with The Salads & Friends’ compilation.

DJ Mensa – Seasons Change
Our man Mensa has blessed us with his Seasons Change mix. I met Mensa way back in 2000 at party we happen to both be spinning at and was honoured to break in the new century at his side. We later work side by side as members of Waxpants.com (RIP) bring the DMC’s to Toronto for four year. This mix is personal favourite of mine and I’m sure you will all enjoy it.
Sawtay.
