SCRAM + THE FIRST TEAM consist of SCRAM our hero MC, KADY SAVARD and DANIELA JACKSON on VOCALS and our illustrious DJ.

The Hillside Hooligans play gritty and soulful reggae, ska and punk-rock. Their style is characterized by honest lyrics, prominent solos, and plenty of style and tempo changes to keep things interesting.

The four founding members played together in Victoria’s reggae/punk favorites One Drop for over 6 years before starting this new project with a fresh batch of songs. They are joined by other veterans of the Victoria ska & reggae scene to fill out their 8 piece lineup.

The name Hillside Hooligans, references the street in Victoria’s Rock Bay industrial district where their original studio, the Hidden Gem was located. They converted a grungy old warehouse into a rehearsal and recording studio that served as a musical hub and hosted legendary jams and parties.

In the summer of 2009, the original studio was sold out from under them and they were forced to move into a bland office building nearby. Shortly afterwards the band had meltdown and disbanded. In early 2010, Brandon was performing a solo acoustic show when, James and Shane suprised him up on stage to back him up with bass and drums,.The Hooligans were reborn.

In late 2010 the Hooligans found what they had been looking for: a space to create a new studio even better than it’s predecessor. It would take a serious renovation, but it would be worth it.
The new Hidden Gem, was custom built to suit the needs of the Hooligans and the other bands and businesses that shared the space..

During the construction, tragedy struck. In front of a party of horrified onlookers, Shane fell from the second story mezanine onto a cement floor and table 12 feet below. Help arrived swiftly, but had flat-lined. Thankfully, the paramedics were able to revive him, and he pulled though.. The accident happened two weeks before the planned cd release of the Hooligan’s first album, Tales from Rock bay.”. The rest of the band managed to finish recording the album and performed a drummerless acoustic cd release show donating all the proceeds of the show and album to Shane’s recovery.

His recovery was nothing short of miraculous. 3 months to the day, from lying dead on the concrete, Shane was playing his drums with the Hooligans at a packed hall opening up for the Aggrolites.

Today, the new Hidden Gem is complete and buzzing. The Hooligans are hard at work recording their second album. Like it’s predecessor, and the One Drop albums, it will be self-produced and recorded entirely in their own studio, giving time for a maximum of attention to detail and creativity.

Mirage's musical journey mirrors the illusionary nature of sound, bending and refracting across genres, creating an experience that captivates and transcends expectations in the realm of music production. Originally hailing from Québec, Mirage (formerly known as ‘Blackout’) began delving into the fusion of house and hip-hop on the analog grooves of vinyl in 2010. With an innate ability to craft rhythms spanning G-House, breaks, and beats, Mirage seamlessly weaves scratch routines into his bass music tracks, navigating the BPM spectrum from 87 to 175. In his latest exploration, Mirage immerses himself in the depths of 140bpm and Deep D&B, consistently pushing the boundaries.

Beyond the studio, Mirage is a community-builder in Victoria, B.C.'s music scene. The architect behind Dubversified Culture, he founded this underground community in 2017 with a mission to elevate local West Coast bass artists and forge connections across global Dubstep and House scenes. Mirage's dedication underscores his commitment to navigating the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music.
