Hifi Happenings 5.16.12 - 5.20.12 |
Hey Dudes,
It’s that time of year again, the FFWD reader’s poll is up and running. Take some time out of your day to vote for your favorite local small businesses. We’ve been Calgary’s “favorite place to dance” since 2005, let’s keep that rollllin….. Seriously, though, go vote for everything you love in this city!
∞∞TONIGHT∞∞ Widely considered one of Canada’s top producers, Montreal’s Jacques Greene returns to Hifi, but this time solo and not with the Redbull Music Academy. I saw his all analogue house set at Mutek last year and it was seriously amazing! One of the best sets of the entire festival. Come get into some serious future house music. Hosted by Piranha Piranha, Kinfolk Djs & That’s Deep.
∞∞THURSDAY∞∞ DJ Pump & Redbull 3style World Champ DJ Hedspin roll through Hifi on their cross-country EH! YO Tour. This one is sure to get messy as soon as Pump has 2 vodka sodas. We’ll also have Smalltown Djs & Ivan Rankic holding things down. This one is fun DL the mix they did for it right here:
∞∞FRIDAY∞∞ Wax Romeo, DJ Reece, and A Mac will be doing their Heart Beat thing down at the club on Friday night. Treasure Fingers was mental last week and we’ve got some serious heat planned for the night in the upcoming months so stay tuned! Best times with the best crew!
∞∞SATURDAY∞∞ Canadian Hip Hop Legend and CBC radio 2 personality, BUCK 65 brings his east coast styles to the intimate confines of the Hifi. This one is about to sell out in advance and why not, the guy is a Canadian legend, and a multiple Juno award winner. His music has covered the gamut from hiphop, country, folk, to electronica. He’ll be paying live with the lovely Colleen Brown. This one will be hosted by That’s Deep & Vinny Slappers.
∞∞SUNDAY∞∞ DJ Rice is getting excited for a supremely sublime summer of Sunday Skool. (take that for alliteration browner) We have Todd Omotani at Hifi on June 3rd and SF’s J.Boogie on June 24th to close out Sled Island. This is the summer of Rice.

Hifi Happenings 4.25.12 - 4.29.12 |
Attention: You,
Exams is done! Yuss! Finally! I know that feeling! It’s crazy how hard everyone works at school now, back in the day it was more like Dazed & Confused, now it’s like The Matrix or something! Anyway, for all you Students out there we are offering Free Cover for the next 2 weeks at Hifi. You deserve it! Come by any night w/ Student ID, and we’ll take care of you at the door!
∞∞TONIGHT∞∞ Fools’ Gold Records’ FOUR COLOR ZACK invades HIfi tonight with a head full of steam after just winning the SF RedBull 3Style. He is headed to the US Finals right away and will take you on a journey tonight! If that’s not enough, we’ve convinced Fort Knox Five to stick around for one more night and rock it with Smalltown Djs tonight! Talk about a stacked bill! And free for all students! P-A-R-T-Y!
∞∞FRIDAY∞∞ One of the founding fathers of Shambhala, HOOLA, comes to rock it at Hifi on Friday! This guy is the Best! I remember a rare groove/disco set he played at the 1st Shambhala I ever went to and it still sticks in my head to this day. Not sure if it has anything to do with the acid or nitrous(aaah, to be young again)… He will be joined by Wax Romeo, DJ Reece & A-Mac!
∞∞SATURDAY∞∞ Unfortunately Brodinski has to be rescheduled! Bummer! But we are throwing an End of Exam Jam w/ SMALLTOWN DJs, Wax Romeo vs Sonny Chiba & Marcus Dylan vs Gnarcotics! This one is a nice little local jammy jam for all of the Calgary crew to come get DOWN! Hot Damn!
∞∞SUNDAY∞∞ Hed Kandi, The Ginger Group & Bernice Welacky present the 2nd Installment of The Little Hair Affair! This one went off last time and we’re ready to do it again on Sunday! DJ RICE will provide the tunes; the lovely hosts will provide the styles and models! This is turning into quite a little party! Love having these guys be a part of the night! Just another extension of that Sunday Skool family vibe!
THE HIFI CLUB – School’s Out, Look Out!!!!
