Extras: | THIS WEEK: GALAKS' (Six feet high) "Between DeBussy and Neophyte... there's a couple of good tracks" -Galaks' So what should we expect from galaksy? uhm... i dunno... show up and see ******* MANA (Soul mechanics) The Rising DJ Mana a.k.a. Annam Le has been DJing since 1993, inspired by his brother DJ Flee and friend Rob Brown. He mixed house and techno until 1998, when Sevin introduced him to the art of turntablism. Mana learned most of the fundamentals of turntablism by watching DJs like Q-Bert, D-Styles, Mix Master Mike, A-Trak, Beat Junkies, and the X-Ecutioners. With the help of his early colleagues P-Love, Killa-Jewel, Spazmodik, and Scream, Mana trained hard to hone his turntablist skills. Among his first public appearances were performances at Tableturns, various hip-hop concerts such as Swollen Members and Mr. Lif, and a residency at Blue Dog. The turn of his career took place when he first entered the DJ battle arena in 1999. Mana's first battle was the 1999 ITF Montreal Elimintaion. Although he lost to DJ Matrix, the experience pushed Mana to practice even harder for upcoming battles. He joined Nocturnal Sound Krew in Hawaii in 2000. This group pushed him to practice hard for the DJ battles. The following years earned him winning titles including the 2000 ITF Montreal Champion, 2002 National Vestax Extravaganza 2nd Place, 2002 KoolMixx Hawaii Champion, 2002 Import Revolution Hawaii Champion, 2003 Montreal DMC Champion,, and 2004 Montreal DMC Champion. During this time, Mana began working with members of ICM Records, a hip-hop collective based in Montreal. In 2004, Mana retired from the battle scene to pursue musical endeavors. Mana founded Soul Mechanics DJ School in the summer of 2004. His endeavor was to demystify and spread the language of turtablism. In late 2005, he formed a group called Microtone Kitchen, a scratch band that applies classical music theory to turntablism and fuses with tonal instruments like guitar and keyboards. The members of the band include Killa-Jewel, Praiz, Midas, Panda-Zal, Johnny Know1, and Atsu Mana is currently composing songs and performing with the band, preparing to release the debut album. ************** check out [ www.forwardmusicmontreal.com ] Drink specials : 10 $ pitchers, 1 shooter : 3,50$ ; 2 shooters for a mere 6$. 3$ BEFORE midnight, 5 $ AFTER... that's right.
