	Known for their genre-defying mix tapes and 4-turntable performances, DJs Wood ‘n’ Soo have proven time and again their ability to rock just about any crowd that’s put before them. Since joining forces in 2004 they have attained a world wide cult following and supported such diverse international talent as DJ Z-Trip, Bassnectar, Afrika Bambaataa, Q-Bert, DJ NuMark, Stanton Warriors, Shy FX, Zion I, South Rakkas Crew and many more. On the strength of their rapid fire blending and on-the-fly remixing, they have rocked clubs across the country and become mainstays of Vancouver’s night life scene. 
	Wood ‘n’ Soo are seasoned crate diggers, raised in the age of vinyl LPs and 12” singles. The onset of the digital era has done nothing to diminish their hunger for fresh new sounds. While rocking the party remains first priority, the duo refuse to be pigeon-holed into any particular genre or style of DJing. Hip hop, Funk, Disco & Reggae form the roots of their diverse sound, while their sets branch out to include an array of styles from past to present. Many of today’s digital jocks are content to please crowds with only the most tried & true chart toppers but Wood ‘n’ Soo are relentless taste makers, mixing future classics and exclusive bangers into every set. Whether individually or as a team, these two vets bring the ruckus where ever they go. 

WOODHEAD 
CLYPHS / Body Language 


It was actually a mobile sauna that brought Vancouverite Darren Woodhead to the attention of many in Western Canada’s dance music scene. Beginning in 2001 these weekly sauna-slash-DJ parties in East Vancouver became a cultural hub for a group of Vancouver creatives. The ensuing Podcast and events brought the sound of sauna to the world while the outdoor shower and thumping beats captured the attention of the neighbours. 

Woodhead's sets get better every year and are guaranteed to bring the vibe he is famous for. Who else can DJ in a 100 degree wooden box or battling 90km winds on Canada's rugged west coast? 

Woodhead's Call My Own out now on Royal Soul. New vinyl 12" and 12" compilation on Masterworks Music(UK), as well as new releases on MSLX, Sheppard Records and Substation Recordings xo
