Man, who the hell isn’t a DJ in the Bay Area these days? Every other person you bump into is on the tip. And just being a DJ isn’t good enough anymore. It has to be, “I’m an intelligent downtempo booty rock electroclash mash-up glitch-IDM DJ. Oh, and I also play Duran Duran.” When was it decided that any jerk with 10 records (or 100 MP3s and Serato) is a DJ, and when was it decided that just being a good old-fashioned hip-hop DJ is passé?

DJ Platurn is way beyond all that. He’s a real-deal Hip-Hop DJ who rocks the party the original way: nothing but top-notch selection and skills to back it up. Give the man two turntables and a mixer and stand back because you’re going to witness some classic DJing. He’ll not only serve the crowd what they’re hungry for, he’ll keep ‘em dancing with all kinds of tunes they didn’t even know they wanted to hear. Cutting up breakbeats, doing blends live and on the fly, scratching, mixing…the guy’s got the full skill set to be a fully-rounded DJ, and he’s good at everything. Not only is that increasingly rare in today’s “instant DJ–just add water!” world, it’s a strong and important tie to the Hip-Hop tradition Platurn comes from: In order to get on and really do a good job as a DJ, you have to be well-rounded.

Being good at everything and being well-rounded also means being a top-notch selector, by the way, and Platurn ain’t fakin’ the funk when it comes to his record collection and what he plays for the crowd. Well-known cuts, obscurities, remixes, hip-hop, funk, rock, disco, soul, pop…it all gets woven together expertly. You want B-boy breaks? He’s got you covered. Slow jams? Awwww yeeeeaaaah. Old-school hip-hop? Break out the Cazals, fool! Wherever the party needs to go, he is prepared to take it there.

And word certainly spreads quickly. Besides having been voted Oakland’s best DJ by the East Bay Express and winning Scions’ “Free Up Your Mix” competition along with fellow Oakland Fader DJ Spair, Platurn has devastated crowds from coast to coast and internationally, and in doing so, he’s shared the stage with folks like Z-Trip, Krs-One, Mixmaster Mike, The Beat Junkies, DJ Premier, Slick Rick, Maseo (De La Soul), ZionI, Jazzy Jay, Quest-Love(The Roots), M.F. Doom, A-Trak, Afrika Bambaata, Pete Rock, and a whole bunch more. Not too bad for that tall skinny white guy from Iceland.

(Bio by Dj Enki taken from http://www.djplaturn.com)

We thought we would ask DJ Platurn a few questions before his arrival here in Vancouver, to perhaps get to know him a little better.

2. Your all time summer jam?
Again, too many to name but the one i’ve been rockin’ a lot lately is DJ Quik’s ‘Summer Breeze’.

This mix is part 2 of the SEA2SKY series. It is a compilation of great music, new and old, that lays an interesting audio-scape, as you wander through space.

I was inspired to make this deeper mix for all my friends that listen, play and make great fucking music.

& way too many others to list here. I’m thankful for you all.

This, as is all of my other mixes, is dedicated to Tanya.

I hope you enjoy.

As reported by The Province, “About 2:15 a.m., as people spilled out of bars after a night of Halloween partying, two men opened fire on a small group of people standing across the street from Shine Nightclub, which had no affiliation with the incident.”

Thankfully the injuries were not life-threatening, and none of our patrons or our staff were involved.

We love Gastown with our heart and soul – it is an awesome and safe neighbourhood. If you feel the same way, please do us a small favor and forward this message to your friends. Let’s not let this random act ruin what we’ve been building over the last 10 years! We know our Shine regulars party responsibly and that Gastown is essential to all creative individuals in this city. Please make sure to support this community by spreading a positive message.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact myself or Nate.

Thanks for your support during this challenging time.

Yours,

Carlo Giusto
