YUNG BAMBII - Toronto, Outerspace - JERK
----------------------------------------------------------
Despite having never produced an original tune, Kirsten Azan, or Bambii, has become one of Toronto's most productive DJs. Coupled with her infectious enthusiasm, Kirsten brings a mindful, uber-curious approach to her craft. In her sets, she seamlessly unites electronica, hip-hop, house, dancehall and everything in between. Elsewhere, she's eager to debate and discuss current issues, like the artistic value of trap, the modern musician's obsession with obscurity, or Zoe Saldana's casting as Nina Simone in Cynthia Mort's upcoming feature about the seminal jazz singer.
Whether she's putting on her own event series JERK or turning her Facebook status into an editorial column, Bambii's voice is being heard across Toronto. Surprisingly, the mix we're hosting below will eventually become the first post on her new Soundcloud pageuntil now, she hasn't really needed one. On her skills alone, Bambii has had opener slots for artists as diverse as Machinedrum, Bun B, Shad, and Nguzungu.

KEITA JUMA - Chaos Theory
------------------------------------------------
Bristol-born and Mississauga-based rapper/producer Keita Juma describes his music as “industrial rap” with a jungle influence. That might be difficult to envision at first, but it’s a spot-on way to break down his eclectic sound. Melding dark, synth-driven beats with an inventive, introspective flow, Juma has landed on a style that’s all his own.

PROGRESS - Night Rhetoric
-----------------------------------
One of the most exciting local rap releases of last year was Progress's Night.Rhetoric EP, six tracks of buzzing distortion, wobbly beats and dense, confrontational rhymes that were quick to dispense with bullshit. A conscious heart beats under the Freedom Writers member's grimy sound, which feels like an electronic update of 90s New York hip-hop. Come check the original badman out :)
