Also one of Montreal’s first Hip-hop teachers, Marvin showed a strong interest in house music. He would later form a crew called House trix with two other dancers Alex Pinto (Flex) floor specialist and Cleaves Cantave (Bambino ) footwork specialist. In 93 he also created a Cardiofunk version of House dance by combining cardio and house. The classes where taught at Dayle king’s famous Soul Impact Studio. He then met Shauna Roberts and Angelo Ameur, together they shared their knowledge on the different styles of hip hop. They later created Rhythm and Groove production. Produced in 94 The 3 souls of rhythm: a journey through street dance. In 99 Marvin created UDS, Urban Dance Society. The goal was to unite all the hip hop dancers under one banner. But the project that was too ambitious at the time. He still managed to produce a series of variety shows to gather the urban dance community divided at the time. He also created a bridge with French hip hop dancers and brought more collaboration with France all for the love for dance. Marvin taught workshops around the world France, United States, Cuba. Always a student he continues to perfect his love and passion for the love of stage performance. For him it’s not just a career it’s a way of life. Trevor Walker For 30 years, Trevor Walker has been one of Canada’s best kept secrets.

JOE+SEB Presents, in association with Étienne Ozborne’s Vacārme Records, will welcome Pablo Ceballos, one of the worlds most sought after and prolific DJ’s on Thursday April 6th, 2023 to bless our hallowed venue BERLIN. Don’t let Pablo Ceballos’ baby face trick you. The internationally-renowned DJ/Producer has been moving dance-floors all over the world for more than 25 years. Born in Madrid, Spain, Pablo was fortunate to know his passions in life early—music and technology. Combining the two, he created his first electronic demos at the age of 16, and released his first record at 20. In 2000 Pablo teamed up with DJ Chus to form Chus & Ceballos and launch Stereo Productions. The rest is history. Chus & Ceballos became one of Spain’s most celebrated and globally-successful electronic music artists. Over the last two decades they have released hundreds of original tracks and remixes with some of the most respected labels and artists in the world, including official remixes for Madonna, Shakira, Yoko Ono, and many more. They’ve played over 1000 shows in more than 60 countries, enjoying featured spots in some of the best and biggest electronic music festivals on the planet. On the heels of all that, Pablo recently launched his US-based solo career, returning to his roots as a 'storyteller' and combining the power of vocals, melodies, driving rhythms and his signature sound layering in a highly personal and creative way. This is a space in which he feels he can best take people on a musical journey that’s rooted in his own inner truth, a journey that starts in the body but activates heart and spirit. Pablo's passion, empathy with the crowd, and love for what he does, continues to bring life and light to the dark rooms where he enjoys to play. FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 2023 AT 10 PM – 2:30 AM Skratch Bastid at BERLIN 56 Byward Market sq. Event: https://fb.me/e/vZMBeh1S Tickets: Tickets · $20via Eventbrite Dreammind & Kapacity Entertainment is ecstatic to host Skratch Bastid back in the nations capital for his first time since 2017! Dreammind Group & Kapacity Entertainment present SKRATCH BASTID at BERLIN inside 56 ByWard on Friday April 7th, 2023 @ 10pm For the past two decades, Skratch Bastid has been rocking parties and wowing crowds all over the globe, becoming one of the world`s best-known and most-loved DJs. Known for his electric stage presence, technical prowess and versatile selections that span the complete musical spectrum—from hip hop to house, disco to dancehall, reggae to funk and back again—Bastid is a true crowd favourite with an unrivaled ability to create unforgettable moments with music. From humble beginnings in Bedford, Nova Scotia, Bastid cut his teeth in the battle scene of the late 90s and early 2000s, competing in the DMcs, ITF and Scribble Jam. The latter produced one of his most iconic moments, the "Imperial March" routine that became his first brush with viral fame, and has over 7 million views on YouTube alone (and countless others from before social media even officially existed). And while he`s clearly always had a knack for creating shareable videos, Bastid proved early on that he offered much more than just impressive tricks. His demanding touring schedule has brought him all over the world, sometimes playing up to 200 shows a year in over 50 countries. When he`s not keeping dance floors moving behind the decks, he`s also an accomplished producer with multiple Juno nominations, known for his collaborations with artists like Shad and DJ Jazzy Jeff. In addition to his genius as a DJ, Bastid has been expanding his empire into many other successful creative ventures, including his Skratch School DJ School, his eponymous line of hot sauces and of course, the infamous Bastid`s BBQ. This beloved traveling party has drawn sold-out crowds in a handful of global cities, and has played host to a who`s who of hip hop and DJ culture, with appearances by DJ Premier, Maseo, Brother Ali, A-Trak, Pete Rock, Lord Finesse and many, many more. With touring temporarily on hold, Bastid recently added Twitch streaming to his repertoire. Thanks to his high-energy sets, charismatic personality and unbound musical knowledge, he has quickly become one of the most watched and followed DJs on the platform. Even after two decades in the game, Skratch Bastid is showing no signs of slowing, and only continues to evolve and further cement his legend status. http://www.skratchbastid.com http://www.instagram.com/skratchbastid http://www.youtube.com/skratchbastidtv http://www.twitch.tv/skratchbastid http://www.facebook.com/skratchbastid http://www.twitter.com/skratchbastid http://www.soundcloud.com/skratch SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 2023 AT 8 PM SMELLOSHIP - Funk + Soul @ Montgomery Scotch Lounge 750 Gladstone Ave Event: https://fb.me/e/4b95sudGz Live instrumental funk and soul music at Montgomery Scotch Lounge.

The project consists of a collection of compositions for classical guitar, flute and double bass written by Victor Anastacio, combined with a collection of landscape paintings by Max Suleimanov. Anastacio's music combines classical music, jazz and Brazilian bossa nova influences, resulting in an impressionistic style that serves as a bridge between classical and popular music. The project is performed Live by Colleen Leslie on Flute, Philippe Charbonneau on Double Bass and Victor Anastacio on Guitar. for more info: https://www.instagram.com/victoranastaciomusic https://www.facebook.com/victoranastaciomusic https://www.youtube.com/@victoranastaciomusic Tickets will soon be available for this show SUNDAY, JUNE 4, 2023 AT 12:30 PM – 9:30 PM Fiesta Cubana Fest 2023 1525 Princess Patricia Way Event: https://fb.me/e/6ER4y4WvG Tickets: Tickets · $15via Eventbrite A festival to highlight the best of Cuba in Ottawa.

He is redefining contemporary Cuban music as well as Afro-Latin identity and the fusion of black cultures.
