Friday Night is "Looking Good"!!!

This Friday night inside the Guverment NightClub, LTJ Bukem touches down with a stellar lineup of Toronto locals for what promises to be an off the hook party. I don't make it out to many big drum n bass jams these days (probably due in large part to the sheer number I've attended over the years) but in this case I, along with many other "old school junglists" will be braving the cold to party with one of the originals, all the way from funky London town! Joining LTJ Bukem, one of the genre's finest party hosts, MC Conrad will add his tasteful aural stylings on the mic. In many ways one can not picture Bukem playing without the sing song vocal talents of Conrad rousing the crowd to rush to the bass.

On the heels of a thankfully short lived retirement, Frankie Gunns, one of Toronto's premiere DJ's, promoters and peddler of fine beats, is joined by Toronto producers Mutt and Krusada as the popular "SLXN" series makes it's return from a brief hiatus last year.

SLXN began as a way for mainstay Toronto promoters Theory to push the funkier, more musical sounds in drum n bass. With guests like Calibre and Marcus Intelex touching down last year it was a series of events that certainly speaks to the sounds in drum n bass I personally prefer. With Frankie Gunns once again on board, SLXN is set to make an impact (hey, getting me out to the Guverment for anything is considered making an impact these days).

If you caught Bukem and Conrad last January in the Orange Room you'll appreciate the fact that the promoters have moved the party into the larger confines of the Guverment "main room". A bigger, cleaner sound system, a killer line up of locals, a new dub or two from Krusada, and more room to schmooze... you know it makes sense!
