FRIDAY JUNE 18th
w/special guests
BIG JACKS + BOZACK MORRIS (Black Rap * T.O.)
Reppin’ as one half of the Grand Groove DJ’s and one half of Black Rap, 2009 was an extremely busy year for Big Jacks. Aside from a constant tour schedule other highlights include releasing a number of critically acclaimed mixtape such as the internationally acclaimed “Great Minds” disco/funk mix with heavyweight DJ Eleven of The Rub and the ground breaking Stylus nominated “Ol School R&B Flavas”, the first mixtape to cover another mixtape! We were also introduced to the production/remixing side of Big Jacks with the launch of his Snack Pack remix series. 2010 promises to be another exciting year for him, more touring, more remixes, more mixtapes and many other upcoming projects in the works.
It’s hard to really define Bozack. Most would know him as the party rocker of Black Rap as he is well versed in rocking crowds, and has been doing so for the past eight years. He has shared the stage with the likes of Little Brother, Talib Kweli, Saukrates, and DJ A-trak. Many people also know him as one of the program directors and the main voice of “Backroad Radio,” a hip hop radio show in Toronto that he shares with Big Jacks and Melizia.

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 20th
It’s hard to believe it’s already been 4 years since the early days of TK in the cramped Nostalgica setting.
Join us this month as we welcome special guests:
BONJAY! bonjaymusic
Following remixes for Mad Decent, Ninjatune, and Ghetto Arc (XL Recordings), Toronto duo Bonjay take a step beyond their local scene with the independent release of the Gimmee Gimmee EP.
Bonjay is taking their dancehall soundsystem-style live show to some of their favourite cities for a sweaty, basement-style party. Having seasoned their chops with opening slots for international acts like South Rakkas Crew, CSS, Diplo, and Tricky, Bonjay are no strangers to jumpstarting the dance.
About Bonjay:
Drawing their name from the spice island slang for “Good God!”, Bonjay represent the sounds booming out from the jeeps, towers, and headphones of young Toronto: a unique blend of dancehall innovation, indie sentiments and R&B hooks.
With Alanna Stuart on the mic and Pho behind the turntables, their live performance is a high-energy sound system of bass, beats and soul.
