4KORNERS is a Toronto legend and world renowned DJ. From performing at the Olympics to Paris Fashion Week, Cannes Film Festival, and the NBA All-star game, he’s done it all. Most well known for his tenure as the official DJ for the Toronto Raptors, we felt it was fitting to catch up with him on his home court. In the video clips below…

HXV is a young legend. The ATL DJ and producer was one of the early artists working to merge electro and rap and a key contributor and leader in the new trap movement. Over the past fews years he’s explored a variety of sounds, from producing rap records to expanding into techno with his Chapel EP. Most recently he connected with…

Music streaming isn’t the future, it’s the present. Physical albums are dead and people seldom even download music anymore. Why would you, when everything is available just a few taps or clicks away? Platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal and SoundCloud are all vying to host artists’ music and garner listeners ears. SoundCloud became the platform of choice for underground…

Australian producer PhaseOne has been making major waves in the Dubstep scene. Building off the success of his Matter Of Time EP,  he’s continues to impress, most notably with the release of ‘UFO’. The quality of these releases landed PhaseOne a dedicated fan base and a headlining tour across North America. During the stop in Toronto we had the opportunity to connect…

Toronto producer Pusher has had quite the year so far. After building a name for himself online and in the city his newest releases have really put him on the map. His first single ‘Clear’ has clocked over 5 million plays on Spotify and ‘Tell You’ and ‘Shake Down’ have been killing it as well with the latter landing on…

A little while back we launched our new video series entitled Do You FUXWITHIT? The concept is simple; we sit down with our favourite artists, give them a range of topics and ask them the question of our generation, “Do you FUXWITHIT?” It sounds simple but you’d be surprised at just how much one can learn from the 3 word question. We…

Deep within the Fractal Forest at BC’s Shambhala Music Festival, you can hear (or more so, feel) the amount of funk and bass weaving through its branches, as well as through the bodies and souls of some of the festival’s 15,000 attendees. The first night feels long, especially for the unsuspecting first-timers, with all of the festival’s stages open and…

It’s my personal bad bitch anthem of 2016. Those aren’t my words but those of Pusher when I asked him to describe his latest release ‘Shake Down’. He elaborates, “‘Used to wait in line now I’m part of the lineup’?! Are you kidding me? That’s how I feel, all summed up in such a clever one-liner.” It’s a fitting description…

A few weeks back we launched our brand new video series entitled Do You FUXWITHIT? The concept is simple; we sit down with our favourite artists, give them a range of topics and ask them the question of our generation, “Do you FUXWITHIT?” It sounds simple but you’d be surprised at just how much one can learn from the 3 word…

Toronto DJ duo Thugli are two of the best in the scene. Their sets blend hip-hop with forward thinking electronic sounds such as trap and club while sprinkling in their turntablist backgrounds for a sound that is unique and unforgettable. Their production skills follow in line, bringing us bass heavy trap with a hip-hop heart (see ‘Sic Em,’ ‘Run This’). And we haven’t…
