SHAKE DAT AZZZZZZ



Sooooo, last night we dropped the 4K bomb on a spot called DA SHAKE in Belgium alongside our good homie DJ PSAR. We also had our new homie FLAV with us, and the party was truly dope! Took it easy on the drinking this time & just went hard on the RED BULL (big shouts to Kenny Mac & Bobby back at Red Bull Canada...hollaatchaboysssss). About 15 Red Bulls later (collectively.....not all by myself :p) we destroyed the party, showing them the true meaning of DOOOO THISSSS!

After another long drive back to the hotel, Shorts and I DEMOLISHED the hotel breakfast buffet, then proceeded to sleep for about 10 hours straight. I think we're adjusted to teh time here now....almost...mehhh not even close! But we're still working on it.

What's next? Welll, unfortunately our show in Milan, Italy that was scheduled for 2nite was cancelled due to the club being shut down (that'll do it...). The timing on that is pretty weaksauce for us, but what can u do? Out of our hands. Soooooo instead we're going to hit up CARRE here in Belgum, which is the club that we'll be spinning at next Sunday July 13. Our homie RAYER, the promoter, heard about our Milan situation and invited us to come down & party, everything on him. SCORE! So i'll try not to end up with my head in the toilet 2night, but no promises lol.

Monday we also have the day off, and Tuesday we head to Florence to do a show with the YING YANG TWINS which should be a SHIT SHOW SUPREME! PS, the URBAN DICTIONARY RULESSS!!!!

I took lots of vids last night but the net connection here is slow and it's taking wayyyyyy too long to upload. SO NOT doooo thissss. I'll try again another time, perhaps when I have a lil more patience :)

Til next time....PEASSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

K.K.

Bonjour from Belgium!



Sooo we've arrived in Europe for our 3rd Euro Tour in 3 years. Life is goooood! 1st stop, BRUSSELS, BELGIUM! We met up with the homie DJ PSAR and immediately went for authentic BELGIAN WAFFLES!!!! We do it every time we come here...tradition lol. After that, we chilled out a bit til the casino open (at which we are members lol) and had some steak & belgian (don't call them french) fries.

Skip ahead skip ahead, yadda yadda yadda, we took a looooooong nap to try to adust to the 6 hour time difference, then headed down to FUN RADIO where we did an interview & spun a set to over 250,000 listeners across Belgium. Wow!

From there, we headed straight to the club. It was a private ALL WHITE party (noo...not all white people lol, white clothing!) It was DOPE!!!!!!! Tore it up, drank wayyyy too much Rum & Coke, smoked a lil sumthin sunthin, skip ahead, skip ahead, i made it back to the hotel just in time to stick my head in the toilet & enjoy those drinks again, but in reverse. Sexy ;)

Tonight, we're doing another show in Belgium, this time alongside our homie DJ PSAR. I promise I'll take it easy...er 2nite :)

BTW, the statue of the lil dude peeing is our good homie MENNEKEN PIS, the symbol of Belgium. Peep the link to read bout the legend of young pee pee boy! Quite intriguing, and definitely makes for some....interesting souvenirs :)

HERE WE GO AGAIN!



As some of you may know, we're leaving on a jet plane once again, about to embark on yet another European tour. EURO TOUR 3 actually, although I feel the need to come up with a better name than that. Perhaps i'll give it some thought on the 7 HOUR PLANE RIDE to Brussels :S

This time we'll be doing 4 shows across Belgium, 1 in France (Paris of course), and 4 across Italy. SOooooOOoooooo excited!

As long as I have access to the internet, i will be blogging at least every other day, letting u know what we've seen, done & what trouble we're getting into. Expect tons of pics & even some short video clips. YAYERRRR!!!!

Here's our crazy lil scedule:

July 4 - Ingelmunster, Belgium
July 5 - Courtai, Belgium
July 6 - Milan, Italy
July 8 - Florence, Italy
July 9 - Naples, Italy
July 10 - Brussels, Belgium
July 11 - Paris, France
July 12 - Rome, Italy
July 13 - Antwerp, Belgium

Gonna be eating TONS of waffles, crepes & pasta! Can;t wait :)

And while on the topic of North American's invading the European music scene this week, here's a clip of the homie JAY-Z performing at the GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL in the UK. A certain member of the group OASIS didn't like the fact that Jay would be performing at this "rock" concert, but I think it's safe to say he MORE than proved that he belonged. He even helped their record sales a touch by mockingly opening his set with their hit WONDERWALL Can't be stopped! Good music is just GOOD MUSIC and BLACK music knows no boundaries! Checkitout!

After the cult like success of our 1st collabo, the self titled FACTS & FIGURES, we've decided to drop a follow-up mix called ALL OVER YOUR FACE! For those who don't know, FACTS & FIGURES is the electro alias of yours truly, 4KORNERS, & our homies the FACTION SOUND CREW (DJ Arems & DJ Tanner) from Vancouver. We met just over a year ago, did some shows together & before we even realized it, we'd formed an alliance & then an official DJ crew. WEEEIRRDDDD!!!!

Aaaaanyway, here's a link to download this latest mix we've all put together.

Memorable Moments



Greetings y'all,

I'm writing from the nation's capital aka Cap City aka Ottawa, Ontario. It's Canada Day weekend so you know we had to stop in and help celebrate the absolute AWESOMENESS of our country. (There is no charge for awesomeness or attractiveness lol...Kung Fu Panda reference, for those who don't know :p) OF COURSE we're in Ottawa on Canada Day Long Weekend, c'maaaaan!

Anyway, we had an early flight so we basically didn't sleep last night after Body English (which was pretty damn dope last night btw). Our homie KID SL picked us up from the airport & dropped us at our hotel, where we ordered a SWEET room service breakfast feast, then passed out for a few hours. Thennnn we woke up and met with the homie DYLAN D to do a lil shopping (Big shouts to the hottest spot in Ottawa, NORMAL and our homie there IGOR aka IGGY SMALLS). We then got hipped to a spot where they sell $1 hot dogs!!!! 2 shirts, 1 pair of kicks & 10 hot dogs later, we're now back at the hotel chillin. Might check our dude ILLO a lil later for dinner, then we're gonna DOOO THISS at our Ottawa residency HELSINKI LOUNGE & DISCO!

Back in the Dot 2morrow. Here's where we'll be the rest of this long weekend:

- Saturday - The Guvernment (Orange Room)

- Sunday - Century Room

- Monday - ELITE BOAT CRUISE 5

- Wednesday - Atelier

And Thursday, we leave for EURO TOUR 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8 shows across Belgium, Italy & France! Awesomeness!

We're truly grateful for everything that we've been blessed with. The memorable moments just keep coming!

Speaking of memorable moments, peep this video that the homie DYLAN D put me on to. Picture this: JAMES BROWN, MICHAEL JACKSON & PRINCE on the same stage. MEMORABLE!!!! P.S. Prince is soooo girly, but SUCH a GANGSTER!!!! So dope!

So my daughter's on summer vacation as of this week, and I'm off on tour to Europe next week, so I'm doing what they call "Spending QUALITY time." Really, we're just hanging out liek we usually do, except she's with me all day errrday instead of just sometimes.

Took her to see KING FU PANDA today. I fell asleep (like I often do at movie theatres....dark & cozy, can't help it :p) From what I did see, it was a legendary tale of a legendary warrior, who's skills were the stuff of LEGEND!

She enjoyed it & i got a well needed nap.
