"Community Radio Show of the Year" 
Pioneer Canada DJ Stylus Awards - Nominee

Following an extended teaching journey in Europe, I staked my tent in the studio of CIUT radio in the heart of downtown Toronto. For the past 26 years, I've hosted NO MAN'S LAND and have earned a reputation among a loyal audience for unique, groove-driven explorations into the evolution of world music & global electronica.

From Indo-Arabic Dub to Afro-Latin Funk to Gypsy-Swing Electronica, sets flow seamlessly from soothing ancient rhythms and textures through rippling primitive &amp; progressive beats, always challenging cultural boundaries &amp; musical traditions. This genre-bending mixology has generated a throng of listeners locally and internationally + continues to win fans over the airwaves and on dancefloors. NO MAN'S LAND is considered by many to be the top world fusion radio show in Canada. 

Running the gamut of underground parties to mainstream stages, I've produced shows and played DJ sets with dozens of heroes and major international artists. I've spoken at numerous conferences & festivals discussing world music, cultural activism and social citizenship, and have toured across North America as a yoga DJ.

Working closely with the finest clubs and promoters on local and international concerts &amp; parties and through consistent work as an educator, radio producer and cultural ambassador, medman is instrumental in pushing global music forward, and in exposing the international airwaves to the best emerging &amp; established artists in the scene. That was a serious run-on sentence folks. Nevertheless, the recipe is to diligently seek out the finest independent grooves, hook into the leading music labels and spread a weekly healing dose to the masses. Music is our medicine.

Urban / Organic / Electronic / Global MUSIC you can bend a knee to!

Nickodemus is a traveler at heart—a connector of worlds, scenes, and people since the mid-90s. Over his extensive career as a touring DJ and producer, including 5 albums and canonical tunes like “My Swing es Tropical” and “Cleopatra in New York”, he’s helped pave the way for an inimitable mix of global fusion and the heavy beats we yearn for in the club. His music has long thrived on the close relationships and mutual respect of friends he’s built across the continents, felt through the worldly potions he cooks up in the studio, and spanning electronic sounds rooted in Latin, African, and Eastern instrumentation. His latest album, A Long Engagement, serves as a culmination of the inspirations he’s absorbed and remains rooted in his life as native New Yorker and the city’s nostalgic energy. 

Nickodemus’ sound is often focused on the connective tissue of his many live collaborations and the electronic solitude of his studio (or record-filled bubble, as he calls it). Through his much-loved label Wonderwheel Recordings, he’s not only regularly releasing some of the most soul-shaking, eclectic sounds in the biz, but focusing deeply on artist development and creating long-lasting moments that live on far longer than their track length. The music you hear in his releases are filled with expression, reflection, and care; they’re both open-minded and deeply focused, a rarity at time in today’s overcrowded music industry. 

As a remixer, he’s also lent his “Remix Machine” to a wide range of artists including pioneers like Bob Marley and Nina Simone, as well as other like minded genre-welders like Thievery Corporation, Quantic, and Mr. Scruff. Throughout his career he’s also carved an important niche in the live music scene with his beloved Turntables on the Hudson parties, that have popped up everywhere from New York to Cairo.  
 
Currently on tour around Europe & USA, his latest album "Soul and Science" is another portrait into the importance of shared ideas and the dialogue artists can share when they look past language or place of birth. It’s another bass-heavy global party and we’re all invited.

As a little girl Carol C spent many hours playing with her portable record player. She loved watching records spin. She also loved making mixtapes of her favorite music that played on the radio. Introduced to the world of DJ’ing by her older brother, she spent years admiring his record collection and staring at his Technics 1200’s (which she wasn’t allowed to touch).  Being kept away from them made her want to one day own her own. After graduating from college she decided to give it a go. Her first DJ gig was at Irving Plaza, 4 months after buying her Technics 1200 turntables. She then hosted an all female DJ party called ‘Funktion” at a place called ‘Anseo’ on St. Mark’s St. in New York for a year. After the success of ‘Funktion’ Carol C became a resident of Drum & Bass party ‘Direct Drive’. Through this opportunity she had the pleasure of playing alongside world renowned DJ’s like LTJ Bukem, Roni Size, DJ Krust, DJ Rap, Ed Rush & Optical as well as many others.  

She held a five-year residency at both the Soho and Tribeca Grand Hotels in NYC. She also held a one-year residency at Millesime in the Carlton Hotel (NY) and a one-year residency at the W Hotel Downtown. She has DJ’ed special events for clients such as Calvin Klein, Ann Taylor, Diane Von Furstenberg, Levi’s, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, Sephora, Rimmel London, Conde Nast, Trace Magazine, BIG Magazine, and NY Festivals.  

Carol has played at places such as Lotus, Boulevard, Highline Ballroom, Irving Plaza, Bowery Ballroom, Water Taxi Beach, The Frying Pan, S.O.B's, Bar 13, Cielo, Marquee, Bed, Paradou, APT, The Delano Hotel (Miami), The Standard Hotel (SF), Hotel Vitale (SF), Zanzibar (LA), The Conga Room (LA), and The House of Blues (LA) to name a few.  

She has DJ’ed for crowds all over the U.S. as well as in London, Vienna, Reykjavik, Copenhagen, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Venezuela, Brazil, Toronto, and Montreal.

Eccodek has emerged as one of the leading lights in the global electronic scene. Based in Canada, the project is guided by producer, multi-instrumentalist and remixer, Andrew McPherson. From its humble beginnings in early 2002, the band has gone on to release 5 albums, including their recent searing, live recording, Living for Live. Their blend of dub, funk, jazz and cinematic electronics, alongside stunning vocal and instrumental performances by an ever deepening well of cultural collaborators, has put them at the top of the world fusion scene. With 3 releases on U.S.'s White Swan Records and numerous releases through Real World Records, Six Degrees, Buddha Bar and more, Eccodek continues to push the fusion vibe in new and exciting directions.

2011's Remixtasy saw the band's earlier work remixed by a tastemaker's list of producers, reimagining tracks from More Africa in Us, Voices Have Eyes and the Juno-nominated Shivaboom. Heavyweights like Transglobal Underground, Six Degrees' Jef Stott, Dubmatix, EarthRise SoundSystem, Real World's Syriana, Adham Shaikh and Delhi 2 Dublin's TSpoon created fresh interpretations of Eccodek's catalogue. Eccodek mainman Andrew McPherson gave the redux treatment to 2 radical redubs from the first album - an Afrobeat throwdown and a sensuous Steppers dub odyssey. A great way to celebrate 10 years.... but sights are now set on the release of their 4th studio album in spring 2013. (a stunning collaboration with Malian griot Jah Youssouf) There's no telling what exotic shore the Eccodek mothership will wash up on next.

Born and, raised New Yorker,  has been a Life long lover of music and Surfing. Currently residing in Portland OR, raising kids, enjoying the life. Spreading the word, One Love!

DJ Alsultany was initiated onto the DJ path as a teenage New York City club kid. After creating New York City’s hottest international music DJ collective, Globesonic Soundsystem, for over 20 years DJ Alsultany has performed his tribalistic musical alchemy at major festivals, world class nightclubs and venues, conferences and yoga/retreat centers across Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa, India, the Caribbean, and North and South America. Billboard Magazine once called DJ Alsultany the "World Music Impresario". He has served in executive positions with Putumayo World Music and Palm Pictures alongside industry legend Chris Blackwell, founded and produced the 2012 Tadasana Festival of Yoga and Music in Los Angeles, produced and guided the creation of dozens of albums, remixes, and compilations (including his latest, "Yoga Lounge", released by White Swan Records to significant fan acclaim), and continues to tour the world as a highly sought-after DJ performer.

"Since the dawn of creation people have come together around the fire, banged on drums, chanted songs, invoked Spirit and danced deep into the night. When I spin, I am essentially working to create a powerful rhythmic ritual as a portal to the deeply embodied sense of tribal belonging. My sets are designed to create an energetic journey that  leads all bodies on the dance floor towards ecstatic states of being. I know I've succeeded when I look out into the audience and no longer see individual bodies, but rather one organic heartbeat thumping and throbbing together in blissful, harmonious rapture.”
