Outdoor Sounds

Well I'm back from Lasqueti Escape, and it was awesome. I took loads of photos and heard lots of great music.













Many more pics from my tour of BC summer music festivals are available here.

Soundwave!

Just dropping by to let you know that I'm playing at Soundwave this weekend!

Diversity Festival

This weekend I'm going to be playing at the wonderful Diversity Festival on Texada Island!

The Mix Up: Wednesdays @ Maxine's Hideaway

Psst... For a good time, come to The Mix Up!



DJs Soo and Socool are back with a weekly Wednesday in a gorgeous venue loaded with history and smooth vibes! Come join us for a night of funk, reggae, hip hop, downtempo, dancehall, dnb, trip hop, afrobeat and much more... Perfect for lounging, and dancing too.

Maxine's Hideaway (Bordello Room)
1215 Bidwell St. (@ Davie)

Drink Specials
10pm - 1AM

P.S. No cover

We'll see you on Wednesday!

Opium Den: SHAH Sat #12

On Saturday, July 5th, come to the Backstage Lounge on Granville Island for a night of drum and bass music featuring yours truly...

"Atmosphere. Depth. Emotion. These often overlooked aspects of drum and bass get the spotlight this round as Kir Mokum and JoeAve provide a sound scape perfect for drifting and dancing. Come early and get enveloped as the energy builds and then let loose as sisters Socool and Whitney share the stage for the crescendo."

Party time: Summer style

Just a heads up: I'm going to dropping a birthday set at the Solaris Music Festival on Saturday, June 28th. Summer forecast: Good times ahead!

Coming up:

Check out the Rudegals (myself & MP) at Rise on May 23rd, the night before we leave for our trip to New York!

February 2008 Mix

**New Mix** DJ Soo & DJ Socool - Down By The Bayside

So this is an impromptu mix that Socool and I threw together to give you an idea of what we do at the Bayside. No fancy mixing tricks or techniques - just us freestyling and dropping the kind of tunes we'd play every Tuesday at the Bayside.

A blend of downtempo, funk, hip hop, soul, reggae, and dub.

It's on.

Soundwave was easily the highlight of my past two summers. It's this multi-day outdoor party on the island that takes place in July, right on the ocean. DJ Soo, MP Coast to Coast and I will be playing on one of the stages this year, repping Shadow Jugglers for three consecutive hours on Friday the 13th.

So the Bounce show was incredible. I am one lucky gal to get to play for a such an enthusiastic crowd.

Coming up:

100% Pure Love

New tunes!

These songs that I made can be heard on my myspace profile.

• Ransom for a Dead Man is a fairly involved piece spanning three movements. It is my homage to a show I've enjoyed for some years, Columbo.

• Mistah Boswell took form during my recent trip to Jamaica, and is dedicated to my friend Mark Boswell who inspired the direction of the piece.

• Next up is a song called Inity. Download or stream the MP3 direct: Rudegals - Inity MP3

• Just put the finishing touches on this one today (July 3rd). I am particularly excited to share this one. Dj Socool - Dau
