All Out War is a documentary film about battling in the b-boy scene.
The Trailer looks incredible.
If you like Hip-Hop culture in general, you should not miss this chance to see an advance screening of the film.

Dope artistry and a good cause, what more could you ask for?

We have passed the 4K mark, which brings us closer to our goal but not yet close enough. Still 10K to go with only 12 days left! In hopes to give the campaign a boost we are hosting a fundraiser next weekend in Toronto, where we will be screening the first-cut of ALL OUT WAR – for the first time EVER! Please join me and my team for the screening, and a silent auction with some sweet memorabilia from the film, followed by a party with DJ Serious on the 1s and 2s.
• Friday, May 31st 2013 at 2nd Floor – 461 King St. West, above Spin Nightclub
• Doors open at 8:30pm
• 9:30pm – 11:00pm screening. Keep in mind once the films starts the doors will be closed until the party starts at 11:30pm!
• 11:00pm – 2:00am DJ Serious drops the needle!
• $20 at the door, or pledge ANY amount online to our Kickstarter and get in for FREE
ALL PROCEEDS GO TOWARDS FUNDING THE FILM’S OFFICIAL RELEASE

MAGNIFICENT SEVEN”S! @ THE PISTON (05.24.13)
Really stoked to be rocking with these dudes. I know they will be packing a heavy selection of 45s, so i’m gonna have to make sure i bring out the “big” little guns for this one. All 45s!!! WOOO!
May 24th
The Piston
937 Bloor St W
Music by GENERAL ECLECTIC, SON OF S.O.U.L, Special Guest: DJ SERIOUS
All 45s
Mag 7’s is baaaaaaack!! and at a new venue – The Piston!
“small but mighty” it’s a 45 party!!
Let’s break it down… we got;
GENERAL ECLECTIC (Uma Nota/Footprints.. everywhere – he’s a legend in this town!)
SON OF S.O.U.L (Over funk’d… everywhere – he’s also a legend in this town!)
DJ SERIOUS (Cratery… also everywhere – yup, another legend from tdot!)
If you know, you know…. If you don’t, come see why a lot of these other djs are doing what they’re doing now
For some;
you will have a really good time. you will dance… or think of dancing. you will drink… or think of drinking. you will call your mom… the music will be that good… because these dudes… THESE dudes – are serious party starters and maintainers!
For others;
how exciting is it to watch a dj spin 45s?? I mean, it ain’t easy… for me, it is exhilarating to watch/listen to a dj blend music on the spot with only a minute or two in between, keeping the party moving AND make it sound good… amazing…
I hope you come and enjoy all that they will be serving up!!

Grape Juice: Vintage tunes and vintage beverages

May 18th (And the 3rd Saturday of every month)
Midfield Wine Bar
1434 Dundas st. W
Music by DJ Serious
Soul, Jazz, Funk, & some Random Wierd Shit
Let’s be honest. You’re way past standing in line at the club, getting yelled at by douchebags and cleaning up your best friend’s vomit at the end of the night. So it might interest you to know that there is in fact, an alternative. It’s a place where the people playing the music actually understand the music. Where the guys behind the bar know a little more than opening a fridge and cracking a bottle cap. Nope. It’s not Marineland. But good guess, Sherlock. It’s a new monthly get together at Midfield Wine Bar. With resident DJ’s Serious and Arcee. Grape Juice is all about good wine, good tunes and good people. Lots of soul. Definitely hip-hop. And of course, jazz. But not that stuck up white tablecloth jazz – that good shit. We hope you’ll join us. Of course, if getting yelled at by douchebags is kind of your Saturday night thing, we understand if you can’t make it.

Albino Zebrah Celebratory Hip Hop Hoe-Down – 13 YRS in This!
B-Boys and dancers of all forms take precedent when it comes to my dj sets. The funk just oozes from my pours. With that said it should not come as a surprise that I see a lot of Toronto’s best dancers at my jams. Some of these kids (well i guess they aren’t kids anymore) go by the crew name of Albino Zebrah. This London ON. born crew has for the most part relocated to Toronto and are celebrating their 13th B-Day. So lets all wish them a great 13 years in this hiphop life!
It goes down starting at 3pm on Saturday August 14th 2010 at the John Innes Community Center – 150 Sherbourne St.
I will throwing down for the battles along with some great talent

New Weekly Event – 24 Carat @ Andy Poolhall every Tuesday
The title of this post pretty much says it all…
Long time buddy, loud mouth, all around good guy and, BBoy dancefloor killer Heistro (Ready2Rock/DDK) has decided to get in the promotion game. In creating this night dedicated to dancers and their audience, Heist has enlisted Kae Wonder and myself to throw down the funk joints to keep the bodies warm over the winter months.
This should be a fun one.
This all takes place at Andy Poolhall
Launch Date: October 6th 2009
Cover : Free
For the funk heads, the name 24 carat is an homage to arguably one of the genre’s best LP’s
