City Battles, MC Tributes, historical videos wrapped in an old school vibe dance party! Welcome to 83 ‘til infinity, where we see, hear, and move with stories and experiences of hip-hop in the Ottawa–Gatineau region that flow from decades-long conversations about the craft and values of hip-hop's five pillars: breaking, emceeing, DJ-ing, graffiti, and knowledge. We celebrate the creativity, innovation, knowledge, and traditions that make up hip-hop. The materials we were lent show how the values of hip-hop are built on culture, community, activism, and justice. We begin with the Canadian Floor Masters (CFM), formed in 1983. From there, the show moves on to highlight events, artists, and songs that continue to shape culture and community. Nothing in this exhibition would be possible without the people who make hip-hop happen here, including those who are no longer with us. We honour those who came before, those we’ve lost, and those who are still to come, as we look together towards the future.

On the heel of his breakthrough 2022 hit “B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All)” with Eliza Rose, Interplanetary Criminal is embarking on his first North American tour and we are over the moon to host his debut Ottawa set at Pull Up on July 12th at City At Night. With a VERY limited amount of tickets for this intimate show, it is not one to be missed. Over time Interplanetary Criminal has cultivated his UK Garage sound, turning heads in even the furthest corners of the globe with releases on seminal record labels such as Shall Not Fade, Kiwi Records, Locked On Records, & Constant Sound. Last year, the renown producer and DJ scored a UK number-one with one of the year's most inescapable tunes B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All). Elsewhere, Interplanetary Criminal's place within UK Garage has been highlighted, describing him as “helping to further the resurgence of a genre that carries the weight of the UK on its back” (Mixmag, 2022). Pull Up crew, let's give a warm welcome to UK Garage royalty, Interplanetary Criminal. ----- Pull Up is... UK Garage, Jungle, Breaks, Rave Anthems, House, & More.

His first album, Satingarona pt.1, was acclaimed as a remarkable genre-bending achievement. Meanwhile, their second album Satingarona pt.2 is also earning success. In preparation for the recording of a third album, The Bongo Hop earlier this year released "La Ñapa" a mini album with remixes, bonus tracks and some new songs. Nidia Góngora is a singer/songwriter from the remote river village of Timbiquí, an Afro-Colombian community, whose location and cultural contrasts provide endless inspiration. Now based in Cali, she is considered one of the foremost artists of the typical marimba music of the South Pacific region, a guardian of the oral tradition and was awarded the title of ‘Afro-Colombian of the Year’ by Color de Colombia and El Espactador. Fronting leading regional outfits including Grupo Canalon and Canalón de Timbiquí (who were nominated in the Latin Grammy Awards for Best Folk Album), Góngora inspires many from the region with her techniques and work.
