HYPNOTIC BRASS ENSEMBLE
http://www.myspace.com/hypnoticbusiness

The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is an instrumental group comprised of 8 horn players and a drummer, all but one of whom are sons of jazz musician Kelan Phil Cohran (who played trumpet in Sun Ra Arkestra).Originally from Chicago, IL, they are currently based in New York City. As the headliners of the NuJazz Festival http://www.nujazz.ca last year, the buzz around this band locally and internationally continues to expand, combined with the release of their new CD on Honest Jons Records which features Flea, Damon Albarn (of Blurr) and legendary drummer Tony Allen.

FOOTPRINTS is a 4 person DJ and design collective comprised of Jason Palma, General Eclectic, DJ Stuart and promotivator / dancer Lybido.
They're considered by many to be Toronto's premiere underground open format dance event, attracting a supremely loyal following since their inception 7 years ago.
With a shared belief that you can't know your future until you know your past, each member of Footprints takes an all inclusive approach to DJing, connecting the dots between a wide variety of music ranging from;
Funk, Soul, Afrobeat, Latin and Brasilian to Dub, Reggae, Brokenbeat, Electro, House and Hip Hop.
The result is an unpretentious marriage of musical flavors that has become uniquely their own, attracting an ever increasing amount of adventurous and open-minded music lovers looking for a party without all the usual 'club hype'.

FOOT PRINTS is...

JASON PALMA
A well known figure in the Toronto scene, Palma brings over 15 years experience deejaying a wide variety of music; from latin, soul, classic house, funk, hip hop to brasilian samba & afrobeat. As one of the first architects of Toronto's early Acid Jazz, Deep House and Funk scenes, his skill at mixing records that would appear to be 'unmixable' has placed him in constant demand over the course of his career, while also making him one of the most beloved DJs in the T-dot!

GENERAL ECLECTIC
A man with no limit of passion and knowledge when it comes to nearly all types of music. General Eclectic displays his skills on the decks with heart and intensity each and every Foot Prints party. His meticulous attention to detail when mixing records and his instinctive ability to effortlessly flow between genres has won him a large following of music heads and dancefloor junkies. Having been known to play just about anything in his sets, his style is hard to categorize but impossible to refuse.

DJ STU (aka BASICSOULUNIT)
Stuart is a man of many different guises, having his hand in a number of Toronto's exciting underground scenes. Many know him as his famous alter ego "Basic Soul Unit", under which he crafts deftly unique Techno inspired soulful music - winning him critical acclaim both here at home and abroad. Stu brings his knowledge of Techno, Classic House, Garage and Disco to the Foot Prints people each month, proving an invaluble asset for keeping that steady pace and firing up the dancefloor like no other deejay in Toronto.
