hunt.FM #90: “Bumpin’ w/ Guest Trish”


Trish is the epitome of a triple threat, earning the right to reach for the sky and fly with the stars. Perhaps it’s the relentless depth of her passion or the intoxicating quality of her voice, but the dance-driven, electro-pop infused entertainer has an undeniable star power. Earning the coveted title as the “next big thing”, her music intertwines the elements of electrifying R&B and captivating funk with an edgy hip-hop feel.

DJ Baby Yu pays tribute to BIGGIE.





A DJ never forgets the very first LP they purchased. Just ask them. Their first LP is somewhat of a stepping stone into what turns out to become an ever lasting career as a DJ. The hard times help define your success and greatness. Your first LP reminds you of why you started and wanted to become one of the greatest DJs on earth.

DJ Baby Yu's very first LP was the single 'Juicy' from The Notorious B.I.G. And with that being said it's no wonder why he paid tribute to B.I.G with his latest mixtape 'DJ BABY YU presents- B.I.G.: The Mixtape: A Tribute to the Greatest Rapper of All Time'. 'This is my biggest accomplishment to date' states Baby Yu.

hunt.FM #89: “The Newness w/ Guest DJ Grouch”


Based in Toronto, Canada, Grouch has been deejaying since the late 80's and got his first start competing in the DMC & ITF DJ Battles in the mid 90's. He was crowned 1998 Western Hemisphere Team Champion as part of the Turnstylez Crew with partners Lil' Jaz & D-Scratch. He has also toured, and worked with Toronto heavyweights Kardinal Offishall, Saukrates & Choclair. Grouch has kept busy by being part of many North American Hip Hop Tours such as the Lyricist Lounge in 1999 (with Choclair) and the G-Unit Canada Tour (with Melanie Durrant).

Being a multi-facetted DJ working in radio, clubs, competitions and shows it was a natural progression for Grouch to evolve his talent in the art of production. Inspired by the Jeep Beat producers of the 90's such as Kenny Dope, The Nubian Crackers & Frankie Cutlass, Grouch has crafted the perfect balance between the 2 genres. The first track, Ah One Two Oye, samples the late great Salsa legend Hector Lavoe.

Wyclef Jean picks Surya for his top 20.


Yes, you read the heading correctly. Wyclef is holding a contest called 'Twitter “More Bottles” Remix Contest.' He selected 20 artist including SURYA.

Born and raised in Vancouver, B.C, Surya is the meeting of two musical worlds, urban and spiritual. Surya means, “sun” in Sanskrit and she indeed brings a refreshing sound to both musical worlds. Surya’s alter ego ‘Empress Elf’ caters to her urban sound, where she is both a vocalist and producer. Her collaborations have proved to be fruitful, working with acclaimed DJ/Producer Kemo, hAZEL and Vago from Vanguards.

Whether singing in Hindi to an Indian classical music crowd, collaborating with hip hop artist or leading kirtan at yoga studios, her genuinely sunny disposition and boundless energy shines through to create an experience that is healing and uplifting. Her gift truly brings joy to all who have experienced, “The Surya Sound.”

DJ Hunt edits Drake for you to DOWNLOAD



DJ Hunt is known for his witty sarcasm, which at times can irritate the ladies...SOMETIMES. :) He is also known for being a geek when it comes to Mac and technology. However, what makes Hunt extremely creative is the fact he is a classically trained pianist, taught himself how to play the guitar and has been producing music and DJing for nine years. One of his latest projects have been these Drake Edits. Feel free to download them.

Aubrey “Drake” Graham is a Canadian actor, rapper and singer. So far he has released three mixtapes, 2006’s Room for Improvement, 2007’s Comeback Season, and 2009’s So Far Gone. He is in the beginning stages of recording his major label debut, tentatively titled Thank Me Later, which is projected to be released late 2009. The album is slated to include guest appearances by acts such as Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Trey Songz, Danny! and others. He is also working on Dr. Dre’s upcoming album Detox, and has worked with Michelle Williams on her album Unexpected.

Prior to the JUNOS in Vancouver, BC, I got to find out what sets 'World Famous DJ Starting From Scratch' apart from every other DJ and how he's wanting to produced again.

He's known for 'Doin' it Like No Other' and being Flow 93.5 'Mix Show Magician.' He also has the reputation for being 'Canada's number one DJ.' He's pretty much your favorite DJs favorite DJ. No Joke!

DJ Starting From Scratch's resume is very impressive and to some highly inspirational. He's the official tour DJ for Russell Peters, Keisha Chante and toured with Usher for his 'One Night Stand Tour.' Clinton Sparks has asked him to be apart of his 'Smash Squad DJ Crew' and he's the only Canadian Representative for DJ Whoo Kid's 'Shadyville DJ's Coalition.' This man has won every single award you can possibly think of for a DJ and has worked with John Legend, Faith Evans, Amerie, Beenie Man, Kardinal Offishal and more in studio. For his 15 year anniversary as a DJ he was awarded gold and platinum records from Virgin, BMG and Universal. You can only wonder what he will receive for his 20 year anniversary.
