Below, respect to the music artists involved last year:

DJ Mana, aka Annam Lê, has been active since 1993. He is known for his seamless mixing, turntablist prowess, and innovative musical compositions. It is difficult to put his style into one genre, as he constantly hybridizes music of various styles. His craftsmanship on the turntables gave rise to his notoriety in the DJ battle circuit and the worldwide turntablist community. As a progressive thinker, Mana aims to push the art of turntablism to new limits, refining its techniques of musical expression.

Soul Mechanics DJ School was founded in 2004 in Montréal, Québec. It provides instruction on DJing, turntablism, and electronic music production.  It consists of a network of DJs and producers in Montréal who specialize in different techniques in these fields. The main philosophy behind the school is that knowledge is emergent and constantly changing. Our techniques and methods change and adapt with the current world of DJing and production in order to keep our students up-to-date.

A LIL GLIMPSE OF HIS TALENT:

COME LISTEN TO THE MASTER SPIN AT CAN YOU ROCK AT 7PM ON SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 4TH

Born and raised in N.D.G. and area rich in culture in the heart of Montreal Canada, Maysr bought his first set of Technics 1200s and a mixer in 1994. At the time, his passion for both hip hop and dancehall culture was in full bloom so his musical selection was only natural.
Fast forward to the present, Maysr has made his mark in Montreal as a top notch selector specializing in all forms of jamaican music but can still throw down a dirty hip hop set if need be and can easily adapt to a crowd in order to keep the dance floor packed. As far as reggae is concerned Maysr is known as a juggling selector but he has a heavy arsenal of dubplates that would make some clash selectors jaws drop.
When you see his name on a flyer, you know he’s guaranteed to mash up the dance!

This Dude is Off The Hook! A real artist! Back in 98 when shit was still on tape, he used to mix all his shit recording from the radio to cds to other tapes and make his own unique still of mixing. Those tapes would be worth millions through my eyes! He’s still collects 45s and rareties and spins from here to there with his vinyls.

Listen to what he’s got to mix!

CHECK HIM OUT AT THE CAN YOU ROCK JAM ON SATURDAY AT 4PM

Ruby Jane’s taste in music travels the spectrum of soul, both old and new. She’ll drop dancefloor heavy-hitters with a preference for a hot break and female vocals, grooving 80s funk, classic and old-school hip hop, sexy downtempo, and velvety soul that could bring a beast to its knees. In addition to playing all over Canada, she has brought The Funk to the world, playing in Dublin, NYC, London and Barcelona. Constantly building her collection of funk-inspired music, Ruby Jane aspires to keep helping people get down with their bad selves on the dance floors of Canada and the world at large.

Tron’s been around this jam since day one. Always down to help, always down to dj and most importantly always down to chill! This green giant is coming to bring the ruckus in a very peaceful way.

Here’s what he’s got to say about his past:
