Simply Magnificent!


Well hello there,

Hope everyone's doing pretty damn alright. I'm doing pretty damn alright myself, thank you for asking. It has been an exceptionally BUSY ASS week for me, not that every week isn't busy, but since I'm not only the DJ, I'm also our manager, booking agent, marketing manager, producer, stylist, and web promo guy. SIGHHH, Wtf does Short Sirkit do??? lol I keeed. He's the MC, Public Relations, Street Promo & Sales Agent, plus he still holds down a part-time day job. Lots to do for 2 peeps, thank God for Blackberries. Not sure why I went into such depth there...what was my point again...? Oh yes, busy week, right right. However, in our biz, the weekend is even busier, and this is Halloween weekend so..... eeeyahhh! Here's what's poppin!

TONIGHT (Thursday Oct 30)

FEAR THERAPY inside BODY ENGLISH



4KORNERS will be doing our thing alongside my favorite DJ, pretty much the man who inspired me to get into this biz, The one & only, the magnificent, JAZZY JEFF!!!! (Can u tell that I'm stoked?) I actually had the pleasure of spinning with Jeff a few years ago when we used to do SPOTLIGHT SATURDAYS @ THE DOCKS (wow...memories) and can't wait to do it up again alongside the dude.

I'm far from what you'd call a Dick Rider, so make no mistake, I'm not on the dude's jock. But I truly respect what he does, how talented he is, and how he still remains at the top of his game after all these years, while pretty much every other DJ from his era have lost their edge. Here's a lil sample of what you're gonna see tonight.



SICK SICK SICK!!!!

AND....if you remember Halloween at Body English last year....YOU ALREADY KNOWWWW!!!! It is going to be absolutely BANANASSSSSSS in there. All bottle service tables are sold out! If you're coming....arrive EARLY!

The rest of the weekend will be no exception....

BACK IN THE DOT!



Okkkkkk!!!!

1 week, 6 shows & 1 new laptop later, we're back from our recent West Coast Tour! How was it? A BLAST as always! All the shows were awesome, and i didn't throw up once (well, I had a Tequila incedent in Vancouver & almost did, but I held it down..literally!) Yayyy me!

I DID however have to buy a new laptop during the trip b/c some stoopid BEP in Calgary spilled a lil Rum & Coke on my keyboard. FAKK! I got a good deal on a newer, better Macbook Pro than the one I already had, plus the old one is fixable, so it's all good. Drunk girls wilding out in the DJ Booth is just another occupational hazard that I've had to get used to dealing with :p

I did the last 2 tour dates in BC solo while Shorts came home to host parties at Body English & Reign Nightclub. We joined forces once again Saturday night in Toronto for our debut at CIRCA Nightclub. It was NUTZZZZ!!!!!! Big shouts to LYME PRODUCTIONS & The CONNECKTED DJs as well as BONGO MEDIA on hand filming the event. It was epic!

Side not....RAPTORS REGULAR SEASON starts this Friday (pumped!!!!)

Here are some tour pics & Pics from Circa!

Enjoy!

Just Dance...da da doo doo!



Hey people,

Just taking a quick studio break to check in & continue the streak of good consistent blogging! Right now I'm in the midst of recording my 3rd annual MUCHMUSIC Compilation album, MUCH Dance 2009! Most of you probably don't know that I do these, but ya...i do. Kinda cheesey, I know..but it's a VERY good look business wise. I mean, how many other DJs in Canada can say they've mixed a platinum selling compilation?

That's it for now. Gotta get this done by tomorrow.

And be sure to check 4K out the rest of this week at the following:

Tues - Raptors vs Moscow @ ACC
Thurs - Raptors Fan Fest (morning) @ ACC
Thurs - Raptors vs Timberwolves @ ACC (afternoon)
Thurs - Body English (night)

Friday we head back on the road. Tell u about it later

PEACEEEEE!!!!

K.K.

P.S. I voted today...did you?

VOTE VOTE VOTE!



Happy Thanksgiving everyone,

I'm not one for politics, but it seems we're coming to a pivotal time in history and I can't help but pay close attention. Both the Canadian & American federal elections are about to go down & it's mui mui importante that we all VOTE! If you're a proud Canadian like I am, please do take the time to go out & vote this coming TUESDAY OCTOBER 14, 2008. If you're not yet registered, here's the official web link to get it done. Only takes a few minutes.

CANADIAN VOTING REGISTRATION PAGE - CLICK HERE

Although our election is always important, I feel like the upcoming US federal election is probably their most important election EVER! If BARACK OBAMA is elected, and it seems like a VERY strong possibility, it will be the beginning of a new era in politics. NOT just because he is a Black man, but because he is a man for change. A true man of the people. But YES, it IS also important because he just might be the 1st Black president. It was not that long ago that black people didn't even have the right to vote that country, and now look. It will be interesting to see what happens, and we all know that American federal politics largely affects not only Canadians, but world politics on a whole. They've done an excellent job of making it that way.

So AMERICANS....you go vote too!

Of course, there's a musical tie-in to all this. No I'm not going to post a video of me singing some kind of "Go Vote" song. Here's a mix done by DJ Z-TRIP that is a very interesting listen. When people think of us DJ's, generally it's all about partying etc. I love that Z-Trip has taken the time to do this. Take a listen.
