The Line Up:
Boom Box Saints
This Filipino-Canadian MC duo and Vocalist, entered the music scene in 2000. Spanning from across Canada, Boombox Saints, of Filipino descent, came together to form in Vancouver, BC. A beacon in the Filipino community, they take pride in representing their people with dignity, heart and a strong work ethicSince then, they have worked alongside well-known artists such as Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Jay Electronica, Kid Cudi and Sean Paul. Devilishly charismatic, seductive smooth- these multi-talented artists provide a searing new sound for the Urban Music community. This group emanates diversity. They can rock any house; from all ages events, fashion shows to concerts. Their unique sound and high-energy performances provide quality entertainment, which is second to none.
DJ Bles-sed
An unquestioned authority on all things old school, Bles-sed incorporates an impressive range of different musical genres into her already divine flow. So in addition to classic R&B and hip hop, expect some funk, soul, disco, electro, classic house, dancehall and everything 80's and 90's thrown into the cut as Bles-sed builds the vibe to one of heavenly heights. She has opened for Maceo (De La Soul), Estelle, Love & Electrik and Raphael Saadiq.
DJ Krown
Having had a longstanding love affair with music since his early teen years in Toronto, Krown, aka Steve Lui, cites English dance music pioneers Duran Duran, The Cure, Siouxsie & The Banshees and the raw energy of the Sex Pistols as early influences. When house music reared it's soulful groove, the DJ was bit and this DJs' unique sense of dancefloor madness was born. The now legendary night Pleisure at the Waldorf Hotel in the mid 1990s established Krown as one of the city's greats. Krowns' residencies at the hottest house nights in the city and his reputation as a dancefloor entertainer have allowed him to play alongside the greats, such as Mark Farina, King Britt, Marques Wyatt, Nick Holder, Fred Everything, Andy Caldwell, Halo, Charles Webster, Julius Papp, David Alvarado, DJ Deep, Mr. V, Jamie Thinnes, DJ Rap, Ravin (Buddha Bar), DJ Dayhota and countless others. Every Saturday, listen for the screams and follow them to Ginger62, Krowns' permanent home.
Niña Mendoza
Niña Mendoza (pronounced "NEEN-ya", like El Niño) is a Vancouver based music enthusiast/ DJ. She is armed with eclectic and discerning taste; apart from being a hip hop head, she's also got an extensive rare-groove, 80's funk, R&B classics, electro-boogie music library; and a magnetic je ne sais quoi. She's played alongside Esthero, Little Dragon, India.Arie, K-os and Jamie Lidell.
Style-O-Phonics
Versatility in Styles and in the Application of Music. This group has been in the works for many years; changing from CI8 to Infamous Muse and finally becoming Style-O-Phonics. The group has come into its own, making appearances in music video's, club venues, and various events throughout Vancouver. Individually, each member has different talents and strengths; but when brought together, we stand as a whole. Through our struggles, we are united by passion, devotion, and determination only to show others the love, heart, and soul of dance.
SNAPBOX photobooth Vancouver is bringing smiles and laughter everywhere we go.
