Le Chef Tournel has been deejaying funk, hiphop & then on to house, techno for about 15 years now. Released a couple of tracks on Aroma & WGW (Blasta LaVista and Sunny Meadows), then disappeared in a haze of bands and projects playing anything from chiptune to funk, bluesrock and even bluegrass country.

Now back on the producer's tip, I've released a first digital EP under the moniker SUNNY LAVISTA which you can download for free here: http://sunnylavista.bandcamp.com/
There will be 3 more of these in 2013, and we're also planning a limited edition release which wil feature new music as well as original artwork by my very talented co-worker STEEBZ (http://www.steebz.be/).

Toronto-based DJ, Producer, and experienced events promoter, DOKO, short for “Discoknockout”, has been creating and performing his unique 80’s and disco refixes since 2012.

His debut to showcase his fresh House music transpired while traveling abroad in Nanjing, China and continued performing in Toronto, as well as at many Festivals such as Promise Cherry Beach Soundsystem, Harvest Festival, Om Reunion Project and others.

With his laid back, dapper-like spirit, DOKO enjoys more ‘roots style’ venues including the outdoors where the vibes are friendlier, and audiences hold an open mind to his multi-flavour style.

With a past rooted in Dub, Reggae and Old-school Dubstep this is no surprise. DOKO is better known as the Toronto Dubstep guru Jawbone who ran the longest running Dubstep weekly from 2006-2014 at the legendary venue Thymeless Bar & Grill on College Street.

I spent the four decades that I’ve waffled on about below, soaking up all the musical goodness that informs my sets today. I was always record collecting, but never thought about DJing, but that would all change when I visited San Francisco in 92. Little did I know that I wouldn’t be coming back for 11 glorious years. There I met Eddie O’Callaghan (former co-promoter of the Garden Festival in Croatia) and together we put on many club nights and events, the flagship being the Bulletproof Boat Parties. 

During those years Bulletproof welcomed countless DJ’s and bands to it’s parties including Mark Farina - DJ Shadow – Galliano - DIY – Gilles Peterson – Marquess Wyatt - Rockers HiFi - Derek Carter – Coldcut - Wicked – DJ Food – Frankie Feliciano – Greyboy and the Greyboy Allstars to name a few. I also had a residency at Mushroom Jazz playing alongside Mark Farina, DJ Is, Thomas (Then Wicked, now Rub n Tug) and George (Behind the Post Office)

When I returned to the UK in 2003 I pretty much retired from DJing, but worked for Eddie at the Magnet nightclub in Liverpool Booking the DJ and Band nights. When Eddie moved out to Croatia in 2005 to plant the seeds for the Garden Festival with Nick Colgan I went out to give them a hand and became a Resident DJ at the Garden Festival for many years. I have also been a guest at various gigs around the UK including Mr Scruff’s Tea Tent, The Devil’s Jukebox and The One Deck Sessions at Electrik

“What a Long Strange Trip It's Been”

I’m just glad I was along for the ride!

A wee bit of funk, a wee bit of soul, a wee bit of disco and a wee bit of whatever else I fancy.
