Myself, DJ Loc Dog and Ghettosocks were all in attendance. Halifax DJs Skratch Bastid, Y-Rush and Cosmo were flawless in their routines and showed that Halifax knows how to please the crowd. The results were: 1. Drastik (Montreal) 2. Skratch Bastid (Halifax/Montreal) 3. Wonderkutz (Victoria) I gotta give honourable mentions to Toronto's M-Kutz who absolutely killed it (he was in mine & Loc Dog's top 3) and to Winnipeg's DJ Brace for doing a dope rendition of the Canadian national anthem. Props to Chris Kendall, Gisele, Mark Furukawa & Rehan Mirza for the well organized event! http://www.dmccanada.com *************************************** MIANS Music Awards Nominees DJ of the Year Cosmo DJ IV Y-Rush Musician of the Year Allie Bennett Benn Ross Bruce Aitken JP Cormier Jesse Dangerously ** Urban Artist/Group Artist of the Year (R&B/Rap/Hip Hop/Funk) Apt- Canvastripper Jesse Dangerously- How To Express Your Dissenting Political Viewpoint Through Origami Second Front- The Sound of Progress Spesh K- Export Eh The Chronicles- The Chronicles http://www.mians.ca *************************************** Dead Poets Society & Knucklehead Tour Friday, Sept 30th on Global with Duane Lowe 8 pm Thursday - Sunday, October 6th to 9th @ Gobblefest, Sydney, NS Monday, October 10th Dead Poets Society: Secret Society Mixtape Vol.1 Tuesday, October 11th various media channels (CKDU/Newspapers/Magazines/BT/etc) Wednesday, October 12th @ The Khyber 8pm Friday, October 14th @ Warehouse, Halifax, NS 9pm Saturday, October 15th @ Patio's, Sackville, NB album dates: October 1st Knucklehead "KNuckle Up" CD October 6th Dead Poets Society "Secret Society" Mixtape CD in stores (HMV, Music World, Sam's, CDPLUS.com.
