here are some other calgary dooods running a similar blog to letanque. sweet!
not only do they run a blog, but they actually have a regular night on fridays at a pub called Lord Nelsons. if you are in calgary check it out! the night is called modern math.
It was a tough decision, who to see tonight dam funk (pronounced “dame funk”) or skream. I’ve been meaning to see skream for a while now, and I’m sure he will kill it tonight, however, this decision was all about old vs. new excitement, and I chose new. Living in Calgary it is not often that an artist comes to town at the same time as I’m discovering them. I’ve only tuned in to this guy a couple weeks ago. So it was that kind of excitement when I saw the poster on the street last weekend. ”Seriously? he’s coming next Saturday? I just got his records in the mail yesterday…. damn!”
synth heavy future funk has arrived at just the right time for summer.

Last weekend I got a chance to go see Caspa live in Calgary. And he killed it! Playing at Fabric in London the night before, he impressed the crowd by keeping his music loud and his mixes tight! I was proud of Calgary – huge crowd and everyone knew the songs. He rocked an all vinyl show and played all the new bangers and old favorites. The other headliners where locals Slim Pickins/Instinct/Soundboy Murda who definitely represented.
DJ Eleven, also Calgary local, brought the party up a notch (they had to turn her down she was so banging!). Apparently it was her birthday to boot. Check out her facebook page here

Also, check out Excision’s facebook page. . .he played before Caspa and got everyone dancing. Glitch hop, dubstep, drum and bass. . .basically loud music! Way to go for Calgary talent! Hopefully I can find some tracks from these two and get them posted on letanque.
