Since 1998, Red Bull Music Academy has seen over 500 lecturers and 600 emerging music makers walk through its doors, studios and stages, with past annual editions landing in culturally rich cities such as Berlin, Dublin, New York, London, Sao Paulo, Cape Town, Rome, Seattle, Melbourne, Toronto and Barcelona. As a participant of the 2006 edition in Melbourne, Flying Lotus serves as a shining example of what Red Bull Music Academy hopes to achieve. A work of bass-driven metaphysics, Flying Lotus’ Los Angeles could have been regarded as a lone dispatch from a distant musical plane. Instead it has struck an ultimately resonant chord with everyone from the indie pack to Massive Attack, soul heads and Portishead, as well as music critics across the globe as well as Radiohead, who tapped Flying Lotus to remix “Reckoner” from In Rainbows. With praise coming from every direction it would seem easy for Flying Lotus to rest on the strength of his accomplishments, however he’s doing no such thing. In the wake of Los Angeles release, he was hard at work in the lab putting the finishing touches on a series of LA EPs as well as remixes for Stereolab, Blank Blue and the aforementioned Radiohead. LA EP 1X3 reprised a pair of album tracks alongside mind-blowing new jams like “Rickshaw” and “Paper Crane Gang” while LA EP 2X3 sees tracks being remixed by Martyn, Samiyam, Nosaj Thing, Ras G and others. The third EP in the series remains a mystery, but rest assured it will be an excellent prelude to Flying Lotus’ installment in the seminal DJ-Kicks mix series next year. The complete run of Red Bull Music Academy Flying Lotus dates in Canada includes July 5 in Victoria @ Element, July 7 in Whistler @ Maxx Fish, July 8 in Calgary @ Hi-Fi, July 9 in Toronto @ Tattoo, July 10 in Ottawa @ Babylon, July 11 in Montreal @ SAT and July 12 in Vancouver @ Shine. Don’t miss your chance to catch Flying Lotus in Toronto on Thursday July 9, 2009 at Tattoo Rock Parlour.

Aside from The Beatles and perhaps The Beach Boys, no mid-'60s rock group wrote melodies as gorgeous as those of The Zombies. Dominated by Colin Blunstone's breathy vocals, choral backup harmonies, and Rod Argent's shining jazz- and classical-influenced organ and piano, the band sounded utterly unique for their era. Indeed, their material -- penned by either Argent or guitarist Chris White, with unexpected shifts from major to minor keys -- was perhaps too adventurous for the singles market. To this day, they're known primarily for their three big hit singles, "She's Not There" (1964), "Tell Her No" (1965), and "Time of the Season" (1969). Most listeners remain unaware that the group maintained a remarkably high quality of work for several years. The popularity of The Zombies’ music, in keeping with their name, shows no sign of dying. Their unsurpassed oeuvre continues to influence musicians around the world, whether they be original fans the stature of Tom Petty or Pat Metheney, or relative youngsters like REM, Beck, Pavement and Paul Weller. And contemporary cutting edge UK acts such as Badly Drawn Boy and Super Furry Animals are just the latest in a long line of musicians to play homage to The Zombies, for thanks to high profile reissues like the definitive 1997 box set Zombie Heaven, each new pop generation has been able to discover for themselves the undiluted magic of the bands catalogue. This forthcoming tour will celebrate the old and the new – two seasoned pop veterans, backed by an exemplary band, with a show that not only pays open tribute to the much cherished highlights of their unequalled musical legacy, but also continues the tradition with new music cut from the same cloth: a treat for pop fans any way you slice it. THE ZOMBIES w/ COLIN BLUNSTONE & ROD ARGENT Wednesday, July 15, 2009 Mod Club Theatre (722 College St.) Tickets are $39.50 (plus any additional fees) in advance and available at Ticketmaster, Rotate This and Soundscapes 19+, Doors at 8pm, Show at 9pm REMG ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS PAPER ROUTE and AUDRYE SESSIONS REMG Entertainment is proud to present Paper Route and Audrye Sessions live at the Mod Club on Saturday, July 18. Blending digital-age pop/rock with ambient electronics, the Nashville-based Paper Route had their start in the summer of 2004, when Chad Howat began staying up all night in his apartment while making music with a variety of instruments and programmed samples. Former bandmate J.T. Daly joined the effort, followed one month later by the arrival of another former bandmate, Andy Smith, who added vocals, guitar, harmonica, and synthesizer to the mix. Following some further contributions, the trio soon completed enough material for an EP, which was issued in August 2006 though Drama Club Records. Faced with the challenge of translating their sound to the stage, Paper Route enlisted the help of drummer Gavin McDonald, who joined in time for the creation of the band's debut album, Absence. The album is an ambitious and impassioned collection of widescreen modern music, rich with shimmering textures and intricately crafted sonics. Album features the stand out “Carousel” that was chosen to be a full two minute music bed for MTV's The City trailer. Meet the Oakland quartet Audrye Sessions. Their self-titled debut on Black Seal is packed with polished, propulsive Rock songs and gentle, stripped-down tunes with the kind of ear-grabbing melodies that instantly hard-wire themselves into your brain. Recorded with Andrew Scheps (U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash) and Matt Radosevich (The Hives, Taking Back Sunday), the album is anchored by Ryan Karazija's remarkable voice, which is whisper vulnerable one minute, roiling with emotion the next and easily slips into a smooth falsetto. PAPER ROUTE and AUDRYE SESSIONS Saturday, July 18, 2009 Mod Club Theatre (722 College St.) Tickets are $12.00 (plus any additional fees) in advance and available at Ticketmaster, Rotate This & Soundscapes All Ages, Early show: doors at 6pm, show at 7pm REMG ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS BLACK MOON & SMIF N WESSUN TRIBUTE TO THE CLASSICS with special guests MARCO POLO & TORAE and DJ LINX REMG Entertainment is proud to present Black Moon & Smif N Wessun performing their critically acclaimed show “Tribute To Classics” live at the Opera House in Toronto. With DJ Evil Dee acting as the musical conductor, the groups will be performing their classic debut albums Enta Da Stage and Da Shinin’ in their entireties. Buckshot explains "It's a monumental occasion for us to be able to re-visit the albums that started our careers in music. It's a pure honour to take this show experience to Toronto, where we have one of the most loyal communities of fans. It is going to be a LIVE ATMOSPHERE on Thursday, July 23rd". Black Moon debuted in 1992, with the release of the single "Who Got Da Props?". The song became something of an underground phenomenon and charted on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1993 Black Moon released their now classic debut album Enta Da Stage. The album included "Who Got Da Props?", as well as the singles "How Many MC's...", "Buck Em Down", and another Hot 100 Hit, "I Got Cha Opin (Remix)". The album went on to sell over 350,000 copies in the U.S., and is now regarded as an underground hip hop classic. Smif N Wessun debuted on Black Moon's Enta da Stage, appearing on the tracks "Black Smif-n-Wessun" and "U Da Man". They released their first single "Bucktown" b/w "Let's Git It On" in early 1994. "Bucktown" became an underground smash, and gave the group considerable hype for their debut album, Dah Shinin', released in January 1995. The album debuted in the top 5 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and went on to sell over 300,000 copies in the United States. Dah Shinin’ became an influential album in the hardcore New York hip hop scene of the mid-1990s, and is considered a rap classic.

Twenty years ago De La Soul broke out onto the hip-hop scene and created a stir with their eclectic sampling and clever rhymes. Their debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, was hailed as the future of hip-hop at the time and remains today one of the most influential works in its genre. De Le Soul went on to release six more albums over the next fifteen years, all of which had their own unique influence on hip-hop. Widely regarded as one of the most relevant and enduring forces in hip-hop, the trio has consistently stayed true to their sound over the decades. Drawing inspiration from funk, soul, pop, jazz, reggae and psychedelia, their music has stayed fresh and everlasting, influencing a new generation of artists. Comprised of Posdnous, Trugoy and Maseo, De La Soul is truly a creative force with their status firmly cemented as legends of hip-hop. This year De La Soul joined the ranks of artists such as LCD Soundsystem, Simian Mobile Disco and Aesop Rock and have teamed up with Nike to release their own Nike+ Run. Titled Are You In? Nike+ Original Run, it’s the group’s first new material since 2004’s The Grind Date. The album was mixed by Chicago duo Flosstradamus and is available on iTunes.

The year was 1996, and the city was Philadelphia. Friends since high school, producer Stoupe and MC Vinnie Paz had a love for hip-hop like no other. They joined together and called themselves Jedi Mind Tricks, and released the EP The Amber Probe that year. One year later they followed up with the full-length Psycho-Social, Chemical, Biological & Electro Magnetic Manipulation (which was reissued in 2003). In 1999 New Jersey rapper Jus Allah joined the group and they began working on their second album. Released in 2000, the sophomore effort Violent by Design marked the group's last album before signing to Babygrande, as well as the first to feature Jus Allah. Jus Allah’s tenure in the group proved to be short-lived, however, as he left soon after the album's release. In 2003 Jedi Mind Tricks signed under the label Babygrande and history was made. They released another album Visions of Gandhi -- which included the song "Animal Rap," featuring Paz’s idol Kool G Rap -- and 2004's Legacy of Blood. The duo also began featuring an army of rappers on their albums, with regular guests including 7L, Esoteric, Apathy, Tragedy Khadafi, and Louis Logic. After more than 10 years in the game, the Philly duo released A History of Violence in 2008, which was set to capture the scene with their sometimes overtly offensive lyrics. The group has sold 250,000 albums in the US and 400,000 albums worldwide. Jedi Mind Tricks seemingly hardcore and thrash metal anthems with political overtones may come at a time when the message is most needed, known for their genius lyrics and always speaking the hard truth. Don’t miss your chance to see Jedi Mind Tricks live in concert. JEDI MIND TRICKS with special guests MC ESOTERIC & REEF THE LOST CAUZE Friday, September 4, 2009 Opera House (735 Queen St. E.)
