* NEWS! July 2009: We will be running Saturdays @ Ottawa's largest nightclub & live music venue, Ritual Nightclub *
STRAIGHT GOODS IS...
Nutella goodness in dance party form. Established in August 2007, a monthly no-format club night run by Iggy Smalls and 3x Canadian DMC champ DJ Drastik. Parallel music tastes and shared dancefloor aspirations fused to spark a simple concept: spread their favourite eclectic sounds with the help of tomorrow’s finest foreign talents - with an aim to showcase names that have never graced Ottawa with their sound before.
EXPECT TO HEAR...
A whole lotta that electro club crack. Some booty bass. Dose of fidget house. Then a bit of that baltimore flavour, a hint of ghettotech, touch of hip-hop, and a sprinkle of anything else that'll transform the dancefloor into a sweat-infested rhythmic frenzy.
