[CONTEST] Win Tickets to see The Slakadeliqs Live in Toronto on Friday (May 11) at Cafe Awtash
People already know how I feel about this album. The Slakadeliqs The Other Side of Tomorrow is one of the best albums of the year, no doubt. If you missed their debut show at CMW, you have another chance this Friday and I’m giving away a pair of tickets too courtesy of On The Fly PR. Tweet the message: ‘I want the tickets for @TheSlakadeliqs show at @AwtashCafe in Toronto on May 11’ and I will select a winner at random on Friday at 12noon. And if you don’t win the tickets, come through anyway, it’ll be the best $10 you’ll spend on a live music experience this year, trust.

419 College St.,
Toronto, ON M5T 1T1

Not convinced, I’m posting the album yet again because that’s how good it is and how much I believe in it:
[CONTEST] Win Tickets to the Brooklyn Boheme Toronto Film Screening + Q&A with Nelson George
As a former, looong time Brooklyn resident, you know I have to support this!
Fresh off the successful launch of films such as the Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry biopic: The Upsetter and The Last Poets: Made in Amerikkka, Undercurrents is proud to present Brooklyn Boheme on Friday, December 9 at the Toronto Underground Cinema. Brooklyn Boheme marks our third and final film presentation for 2011.
Joining us at the event for a Q&A session will be cultural critic, director, and author Nelson George, who also serves as narrator and producer of the film. The film takes a historical and contemporary look at the Fort Greene & Clinton Hill areas of Brooklyn, chronicling it’s culture, influence, and arts movement in what some have deemed to be the second renaissance movement in New York City.
Copies of Nelson’s latest novel, The Plot Against Hip-Hop will be available for purchase on-site via A Different Booklist. [ed note: I like this name!!!]
There will also be a short visual presentation to start the event provided by Mark ‘Kurupt’ Stoddart, visual communicator and owner of Live It Wear It.

[CONTEST] Win Tickets to see Mix Master Mike Just Blaze at the Red Bull Thre3 Style Event at Sound Academy TONIGHT in Toronto
“After a 4-week nationwide tour and 80 DJs later, the jury has spoken and determined the fate of Canada’s 10 best DJs. During a 10-city, cross Canada tour, clubgoers witnessed their favourite DJs thrown down their finest tracks to battle it out for the title of their city’s “Best Party Rocker DJ”. On Saturday November 12 at the Sound Academy, the resident winning DJ from each qualifier city will drop their best 15-minute party set designed to ignite the dance floor, rock the judges, and ultimately defeat returning Canadian champ, DJ Drastik of Ottawa, ON. Not only will the 2011 victor take home the title of Canada’s ultimate party DJ, but they will earn a spot in the Red Bull Thre3Style World Final in Vancouver, BC December 12 – 17.”
Apparently Mix Master Mike had to be replaced with Just Blaze as headliner last minute, at least according to DJ Mensa who will be competing tonight. Some might see that as a change for the better though, no? Other than that I think the details still stand. CLICK HERE to learn more.
