The digital deejay is KING.

London, ON no longer a party virgin! 
A party so sophisticated, that even mother nature couldn't F with her.  







Hosted by Premier Productions and The London Music Hall, Saturday October 02's 'Tent Party, rocked London, Ontario in historical fashion.

Was this the biggest outdoor event in our Ltown's ever? I dunno, but it was good, real good.  Yeah, there were people there that I never imagined dancing or kibitzing with, people who gave my camera the middle finger, but in good fun! Behind purple, "UWO" chants, W thumbs, and custom Deadmua5 masks, it was all about the music and the feeling of sharing something with a ton of peeps. It was like raving with your cousin David (the Hugo model) in Montreal inside Expo Stadium.  Plus, wouldn't you go back to university or college if you could for just one homecoming weekend?

An estimated 4,000 music fans and lost frosh attended Saturday's 'Tent Party'.  Without a doubt, this night proved that house music and dub step are in high demand in Canada and around the world.  "It's blowing up," Mark Russell of Premier Productions enthusiastically tells our team.  
Imagine a collage of rich and bass-Y beats that come at the brain like visual cues in a game of DDR: today's digital deejay manipulates and crosses audio layers at will.  One rule up and coming house deejays points out 'Tent Party' opener Bryan Wong, "pay your dues and master the art of the mix".    

Our team will dedicate an entire 24 minute show to this event this winter on London Calling IV.  In music terms, we see the 'Tent Party' as an example of the popularity and creativity associated with house.  Is this the ideal live experience?  You'd have to be there to know.  If you weren't, we'll do our best to show you what exactly went on in that tent.

We’ll joiN YO chURCh! 

Cross the DNA of Otis Redding, Prince, Justin Timberlake, Biz Markie and Lionel Richie, ADD an R&B fusion band that harmonizes like the choir from Forest Gump, and MULTIPLY this by the communal feeling that no one would rather be anywhere else and you’re front and center for Jamie Lidell night one at LOLAfest.

If you like BIG beats and layers of soulful harmonies, this cat has you covered.  Decked out in an arm-pitless and ‘dazzling’ sequined jacket that would have Sir Elton drooling, Lidell lives up to the pressure of sporting something so sleek.  How does he do it?  Straight up soul by the pound; that’s how, doggies.  Forget indie, or underground as hip hoppers tend to refer to it for just a minute: Lidell has the kind of star quality and humility that has the emotional force to connect generations.

If you’re a downer, you might not like Lidell. On second thought, after listening to a handful of bass-y beats, you’ll need turn you’re life around because time-is-a-tick'in and up tempo, goosebump inducing soul music is in demand. Liven up your soul and join Jamie Lidell & Co on cloud nine.

Enjoy the video content and beware of the bass when you be rock’in dis for you’re co-workers.  Jamie Lidell will appear on London Calling Season IV, EP II when the team presents their findings from LOLAfest.

Some people's parents are doing it right.
