Event Description

DJ RICE...

DJ Rice, that name sounds familiar. Well it should, and not only because billions of people are enjoying lunch around the world, DJ Rice has been Pumpin' out Sweet Sounds to Dedicated Listeners since 1989. Born and raised in Calgary Rice is extremely proud to have won Calgary's Fast Forward Magazine, Best of the Best Readers Choice Awards in the category of Best DJ since 1999. He has also won Best DJ Night in 2005, for his long running club night, Sunday Skool. With upwards of 10,000 pieces of Vinyl in his Studio, Rice has the versatility to please crowds on both sides of the Rockies and beyond - whether he's rocking his classic tunes, or freshest digital cuts this man is dedicated to getting the job done. He's held a dizzying array of residencies at night clubs all over the Calgary sprawl solidifying himself as a pillar of that scene. Just a few months ago Rice came to Victoria for the first time ever giving us one of the BEST House shows seen here in years. At the request of many, he's back again! Let's party!


LYSSA...

Alissa is passionate about art, cooking, clothing & costume design, music, & dancing. As "NeonSally", she spent many sleepless nights dancing all over the interior of BC & under the stars at The Shambhala Music Festival to her favorite DJs.

Alissa's first appearance as DJ "Lyssa" took place in 2005. Having spent 11 years in Mexico, and being fortunate enough to be exposed to Latin culture, she has a strong desire to explore her roots in her musical selections. Depending on what mood we catch her in, hot summer afternoons call for deep sexy Chicago beats and bouncy latin-infused house, and on colder nights, expect anything from dirty deep organic tribal tech to quirky & fun latin tech house....

She made Victoria her home in spring 2007. She has had the privilege of performing at summer festivals like Victoria Electronic Music Festival, Entheos, Uprising, and Solaris, as a solo dj, with Skylo Raine as "UFO", or Alchemist Him as "Odds n Ends". She has been added to Sunset Lab's roster, and performs at some of the city's coolest lounges & underground hotspots like The Sunset Room, Hush, & Base Lounge.
