Awwwwww shit!


"While Jokers of the Scene hail from Ottawa, not Baltimore, this hour-plus mix features both B-more-style beats and a more experimental approach similar to M.I.A. producer Switch. Most of all, they share a dedication to euphoric intensity that recalls (and at times directly references) early rave music, combined with an understanding and appreciation of hip-hop; no matter how utterly bonkers the often atonal, stuttering tracks become, they're always funky. The cross-pollination of these traditionally black and white musical genres, hip-hop and techno, hasn't been this exciting since the late 80s, when house music seemed to spawn a new offshoot every few minutes; now both seem to be entering a new creative era thanks to influences from the other. Mixes like this are inspirational, not only for their purely sonic thrills, but also for the underlying philosophy: the more race ceases to be a factor, the better."

"Lately, there's been increased debate – among DJs, peeps posting to Stillepost.ca and in these very pages for example – about what makes a DJ good. Is it having the right tunes (whether on vinyl, CD or MP3) or knowing how to play them? Are irony, fashion sense and an ability to draw dozens to hundreds of “friends” to your gigs more important than programming and mixing skills, especially in this time of trendy indie parties? Well kids, here you get it all with Ottawa's Jokers of the Scene, a.k.a. DJs Booth and Chameleonic. Their mixing skills are as tight as their tunes and 'tudes. Go hear how it's meant to be done."
