Nobody Beats The Biz. The 4th annual Vancouver #BastidsBBQ was the perfect way to end off our 2018 Canadian BBQ season. Just watch!
Vibes were high as the sun defeated a previous week of clouds & rain to shine on us for an afternoon. Ai Hashimoto & Rhek started our day off with great vinyl selections, followed by a heavy King Of The Grill bboy/bgirl session (I love playing breaks for those!). Sets from DJ Nick Bike, Skiitour, and The Whooligan as the sun set couldn’t have been a better fit, and the dance floor responded accordingly. The insane technical abilities of DJ Manwell were balanced by his innate sense of party-rocking, prompting Biz Markie to join him on stage right before the hip-hop legend took over the decks. Biz treated the crowd to classic beats, samples, singing (as only Biz can), remixes of impossible acapellas, and hilarious blends. I got on stage to follow him up, and he didn’t want to leave, so we got into a battle. You can’t plan this stuff, it just happens. I ended the day playing a set of BBQ classics from the stops this year, routines, and some Vancouver exclusives you’ll probably never hear again. We ended the night off inside Tabu at the afterparty as Nick, Julio, and Manny took us out oh so nicely.
Can you tell I’m excited about this? Thank you to EVERYONE who came out and made this day what it was. Shout out to Downlow Chicken Shack, Def 3, The Turntemple, Hip-Hop Vancouver, and Miss Erica Dee for their contributions to the day and to our sponsors Red Bull Canada, Pabst Canada, Nude Vodka Soda for making the whole process possible.
