Roadtrip!

Sure, it’s only to Montreal, but who gives a shit?

I’m a big Marcus Intalex fan. He’s an excellent producer, he runs one of the best drum & bass labels on the planet, and he’s always pushed top-notch, forward-looking music. He runs one of the best d&b-centric internet radio shows out there, Soul:ution Radio. He also speaks his mind and isn’t afraid to call out veteran producers that push cookie-cutter tunes that pander to jungle’s mainstream in order to line their bank accounts.

The Intalex is playing in Montreal tomorrow, bringing my couple of weeks of celebrating my birthday to a close. He’s one of the few drum & bass people left on my “see this deejay before you die” list. Me and a bunch of the lads are looking forward to hearing him, and you should too.

He’s playing @ Club Lambi (4465 St-Laurent), and cover is $10 advance. Local stalwarts Corey K and Generic are tagging a set, and DJ Hosta and Bus will be tagging one as well.

And for some reason, if you’ve never heard of Marcus Intalex, here’s a short tribute mix that Karl put together for his radio show Futurhythm this week.
