DJ T'cha & DJ Bliss
Funkface
Independent

Have you ever had one of those mornings where all you can think about (apart from your pounding headache and cottonmouth) is the set of shit-hot tunes you danced your ass off to last night? If not, then you need to get out more. However, if you're like me, and this happens to you quite regularly, then there's no doubt that you've stopped by The Grill at least once or twice during your time in this beautiful city we love to call home.

For those who don't know, this weekly soiree is a Montreal institution that goes down every Thursday at a little place on St. Laurent called Blizzarts, where the DJ tag-team of T'cha and Bliss bless the crowd with a steady dose of funky beats and general mayhem. Funkface, their debut mix CD, attempts to capture and package the energy of the night so that you drunken fools can relive the fuzzy memories over and over until your head starts to spin again.

A breakbeat odyssey that spans the entire spectrum of the genre, Funkface is like a wicked mixtape that you'll never grow tired of: it feels and sounds as if it was carefully crafted by a best friend for your listening and dancing pleasure. It also, perhaps unfortunately, adheres to the same ethical standard with respect to licensing; that is to say, it is completely disregarded. Nonetheless, a whole lotta tracks included on this album were, until now, available only on vinyl, making this collection essential for those of you who don't have $20 to spare for a measly two or three tunes (damn you, record-buying snobs!). From remixes of hip-hop innovators like Guru & the Roots to those by the master of tasteful two-step MJ Cole, you absolutely need a CD like this if you don't have one already. Plus, the booklet features snapshots of some local party people (including me!), and it's dirt cheap, so how can you go wrong?

Scissorkicks ass-kicks
Overseas DJ busts out the year's best breaks to date
By Dan Zacks

So maybe Montreal isn't so bad after all. Another sweet party at Blizzarts, this time courtesy of England's DJ Scissorkicks and Thursday night residents DJ T'Cha and DJ Bliss, made for one of the most refreshingly funky evenings I've experienced anywhere in a very long time.

Essex-based producer/remixer DJ Scissorkicks remains relatively unknown in North America although he has achieved a certain degree of critical and popular fame in European and Japanese breakbeat circles. In part a result of a few high profile remixes of Tom Jones and The Cardigans, Scissorkicks' reputation is mostly due to his club sets. The story goes that in an Osaka club, Scissorkicks spun a set so epic that the 2000+ clubbers wouldn't leave at closing and demanded an encore. After the gig the Japanese remained so enraptured with Scissorkicks that he was able to release a highly-successful Japan-only mix CD. He is supposed to be that good.

The Japanese, as usual, were on to something. Last Thursday, DJ Scissorkicks did indeed lay down some of the craziest, funkiest, biggest bigbeats that I have ever heard. Although he's not really breaking any new ground, so mammoth was Scissorkick's onslaught of hedonistic bone-shaking grooves that I couldn't wipe that smile off my face for hours. The mixes were brilliant, the breakdowns absolutely crazy, and the builds, well, they just had to be experienced. His rhythms and samples were deliciously varied, particularly his opening batucada breaks that shook the dance floor like I've never seen.

The capacity crowd was refreshingly diverse, and was respectful and incredibly enthusiastic, just like one would expect from a group of people congregating to enjoy a DJ. With the very reasonable seven dollar entry fee (and no bouncers!) Blizzarts remains one of the premier destinations for good DJs in Montreal, a city that I'm beginning to think just might have some potential.
