Shambhala // Grove Stage 2019

OMG we are honoured to announce LiT MIX 017 is legendary west coast booty icon Blondtron’s first DJ mix in 5 years! Enter summer in twerkury retrograde with this sunny and silly soundtrack of hip hop, dancehall, bounce, baile funk, footwork, diva house… all mixed with her trademark quick cuts and supreme sass, divalicious from the start with drag queen SouthEast’s intro and the premiere of new Blondtron single “Where My Freaky Bitches”.  

Blondtron was up front headtopping at the Light Twerkerz’s first Bass Coast twerkshop many moons ago, during a time in her music career when her fierce independence became synonymous with a kind of liberated and unselfconscious creative expression that drew fans to her like a magnet. Since being featured in the documentary Amplify Her, Blondtron has now transformed from infamous twerk provocateur into innovative tech entrepreneur Samantha Mathews Chase, founder and CEO of metaverse tech company Venn Agency Inc. building systems that help us stay human in our increasingly digital world.

LiT MIX 017 :: BLONDTRON ::

Straight from Kampala, Uganda, Kampire sends a contribution to the Oscillate Mix Series. Easily sliding through the genres, she combines local influences with a global take on all things bass. Kampire is not only a core member of Uganda's Nyege Nyege crew and an ambassador for (East) African music and culture but she is fighting for the good cause by focussing her energy on the queer/femme community and helping to create safer clubbing spaces in her hometown Kampala and beyond (also check out the "Salooni" art project she participated in, link below).

When Kampire entered the dancefloor and started DJing at last years Oscillate anniversary, people were captivated by her seamless change of speed, energy and rhythm. The mix she provided here is a perfect example for this!

Bottoms up into autumn with LiT MIX 020 from Calgary’s Dooshima D Big Kitty! This set is a high-energy heater at 130 bpm, libra-liciously dancing across the Black Atlantic musical diaspora of afrobeats, uk funky, bassline and garage house. She’s serving us the savvy selections of a Polaris Music Prize grand juror, mixed with the soul and skill of a Director at SheDJsYYC, where she offers DJ mentorship and workshops for women in Western Canada. 

You can hear the instrumental of D Big Kitty’s recent debut single with Teafannie, Ladies of the Dance, mixed in here with Mina & Bryte’s “One Leg”, and it’s great to hear new made-in-Canada afrobeats hold their own with contemporary African anthems by producers like Gafacci, Moris Beat, Citizen Boy, Pl4net Dust and Boddhi Satva. 
 
This set is straight up banger after banger and doesn’t let up with spontaneity and stamina. D Big Kitty is on her own next level throwing in heady UK body music by producers like Throwing Snow and Scratchclart, big room Canadian house like Neon Steve and Egyptrixx, and the list of vocalists featured throughout is epic including Magugu, Badi, Lady Lykez, Sweetie Irie, TT The Artist, Davido, Movado, Fox, Mr. Eazi, Bunji Garlin and Stylo G… even Ultra Naté! Yes, this is the set we’ve always dreamed of that includes both classic Strictly Rhythm soulful house and Beyonce’s Lion King soundtrack. Sheep don’t run with lions, and we can’t not dance to D Big Kitty!

She’s affiliated with an inspiring alignment of Calgary collectives championing women, LGBTQ and BIPOC culture including Tigerstyle DJs, Big Kitty Crew, Afros In The City, Umoja Sessions, and Pink Flamingo YYC. She wears protective swag from her own lifestyle brand SheSoShaded while speaking out and organizing in solidarity with Black Lives Matter. We stan for all of this. D Big Kitty is more than an influencer, she is a leader worth following:
