TORONTO -- In a recent issue of Toronto's Fab Magazine (issue #362), TK was selected as their 2008 DJ of the Year (sharing the honour with The Barn's resident, Jamal).

Says TK of the award, "It's been a great 2008 with lots of rewarding experiences for me--from Bitchslap and Pride to all the action over at The Comfort Zone and official releases of several remixes as well as my own original music--there were so many it's hard to list everything. Glad to see that someone else noticed, too! [laughing] For 2009, I am looking forward to continuing on in helping our local scene grow and prosper as a well as doing more travelling in support of my tracks."

Fellow Comfort Zone resident, Deko-ze, also won props for "Best Local Dance Album" for his release, "Canada's Finest House". Deko-ze and TK are currently hard at work in studio, working on several projects together. TK's Ramlover remix of Deko-ze n' Gavo's "Explosive" will be available soon from HiBias Records.

UNCZ: THURSDAYS ARE BACK AT THE COMFORT ZONE
13/08/2008:Join the Underground Nation on Aug. 28th

TORONTO -- UNCZ, a new weekly underground event series in Toronto for electronic music lovers-–especially those in the GBLTQ community— will be unleashed at the Comfort Zone, August 28th. This new event at the city's longest-running afterhours features three of the GLBTQ community's fave DJs: TK, Jamal & Neill MacLeod (who last appeared together as part of the lineup for the Comfort Zone's legendary "Come Get Your Beats" event in June, celebrating Pride 2008). "We want to capture that energy that our community brings to the Comfort Zone every Pride," says TK.

"We were looking to create something just a little different from the weekend vibe, “says Comfort Zone resident DJ and UNCZ co-creator, TK. "Of course, we'll still be rocking that underground, dirty house sound that the Zone is known for, while mixing in more vocals and funky bass lines--a dark sound, yet cheerful! Neill and Jamal were obvious choices for residents: they both have such a fun approach to mixing, really distinctive styles, and they rocked the Zone over Pride weekend." On the origins of the night's name, TK continues,” Everyone comes together at the Comfort Zone. You see folks of all stripes in there. It's awesome. So when Jamal remarked that it was like the 'United Nations of clubs', it just clicked for all three of us. UN @ CZ...we're the Underground Nation! Let's all stay up late and get a little crazy! "

BITCHSLAP! RELOADED
08/01/2008: Patrick Dream, Sydney Blu & TK Tear Up Fly.

TORONTO -- Friday, January 18th, join the Bitchslap! family for Reloaded at Fly Nightclub. This 12th installment in the special event series features Bitchslap! resident DJs Sydney Blu and TK, plus special guest, Patrick Dream!

Patrick, born in India but transplanted to Canada at the age of four, started DJing and organising events and club nights in 1991 in Toronto, and made the move to Montreal in 1994. Over the next five years, Patrick held residencies at all the major clubs in Montreal and flew around the country and select international destinations sharpening his DJ skills. In 1999, Patrick scribbled the name Bombay Records on the back of an envelope and from there set out to build Montreals first truly international House Music Label. Along with business partner DJ Nav, and a host of Montreal Producers (Fred Everything, Miguel Graca etc.), Patrick built Bombay Records into one of the most prolific house labels ever to come out of Canada.

In early 2005 Patrick found that being identified as the head honcho of a prominent Deep house label was somewhat limiting for an artist whose Djing, song and remix productions tended to have a more hard-edge club-inspired sound; so Patrick sold his shares in Bombay to concentrate on being a Producer-DJ.

BITCHSLAP! PRESENTS
13/11/2007: Sydney Blu's Birthday Soirée

TORONTO -- Friday, November 23rd, join the Bitchslap! family at Footwork for a very special installment of the special event series: Sydney Blu’s Birthday Soirée! We’re pulling out all the stops for a full-on night of birthday action featuring Bitchslap! resident DJs Sydney Blu and TK, alongside Exacta returning for another dose of his electrifying NYC beats, plus we have an extra-special live performance from homegrown EDM darling, Mandy J.

Taking his name by predicting the finish of horse races in ‘exacta’ bets, DJ Exacta started out as a hip-hop DJ from Queens, gracing the turntables for celebrities such as Mariah Carey, Heidi Klum and P Diddy. It wasn’t long before Exacta went from hip-hop to house, quickly gaining notoriety and emerging as one of the most talked about house DJs, playing alongside the likes of Erick Morillo, Pete Tong, Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold and Armand Van Helden. His success has taken him all over the world, spinning everywhere from his Pacha (NYC) residency, to Godskitchen (UK) to Crobar (Miami) and Fly (Toronto), showcasing a sublime selection of upfront house that spans everything from deep to tribal to tech cuts in breathtaking and daring sets.

In summer 2006, Roger Sanchez broke Exacta's vocal remake of the classic ‘Pride (A Deeper Love)’ in his Essential Mix, followed up by releases of ‘Set Me Free’ and ‘You Keep Calling Me’. Since, Exacta has been sought out for his remix work by superstars such as Nelly Furtado and Madonna.

Exacta’s two latest offerings, ’Stuck on Your Love’ and ‘Do What I Wanna Do’ demolished the Winter Music Conference 2007 and are currently being hammered by the likes of Erick Morillo and David Guetta. Due to this success, Exacta plans to release his first solo album, ‘Soul Survivor’, in October, 2007 on his very own Double Frequency Records. [http://www.myspace.com/djexacta; http://www.doublefrequencyrecords.com]

Sydney Blu is Canada's foremost female DJ and a co-creator of Bitchslap!. She performs regularly all over North America and Mexico. With production partner Fabio Palermo, she has remixed for numerous labels including Hibias Records, PBR Recordings, Robeter Productions, COF Music, and Rawthentic Music to name a few. Their latest offering, a remix of the new club banger “L.O.V.E. Machine” released on Double Frequency Records, is out now and enjoying airplay worldwide. She has also collaborated on signature bootleg remixes and a number of original tracks (also co-written by Toronto vocalist Mandy J and lined up for international release). In 2007 she will release her highly anticipated full length artist album on Hibias Records, with a tour to follow. [http://www.sydneyblu.com]

DJTK, a long-time favourite of Toronto's gay community (both Fab Magazine and Xtra! Magazine’s readership voted her their favourite local DJ in 2005), has become a fixture in the city’s afterhours scene, with residencies at Footwork and The Comfort Zone. An accomplished film music producer, 2007 saw TK producing original music for documentary films: "The Metroscope" (a project of the National Film Board) , as well as more EDM (electronic dance music) production. With countless shady remixes and original beats being turned out to clubbers' delight, TK looks forward to a digital releases becoming available this fall. She is also a regular contributor to Scenester Magazine. [http://www.djtk.net]

Mandy J is a singer, songwriter, and wicked free-stylist, known for her ability to grab the mic in any club and throw down lyrics that flow as though written years ago. She has lent her amazing voice and writing talents to numerous producers and DJs including the 2005 Juno Award nominated "Ghetto Love" collaboration with Hatiras and "Love for the Weekend" with DJ Dan on Blow Media.

Since opening its doors in May of 2005, Footwork has earned a reputation for delivering quality parties, covering every genre of the electronic dance scene. In just a short time, Footwork has carved its niche and filled the void of intimate nightclubs in Toronto. Nestled conveniently between Toronto’s commercial club district and the thriving King West community, it’s a unique environment offering the best of the underground.

Bitchslap! is a special underground dance event series in Toronto for forward thinking music lovers. Now in its third year, Bitchslap! has blossomed into a fabulous city-wide event series.
