DJ L’Oqenz is a powerful force to be reckoned with. Her passion for music and undeniable skills on the turntables have made her a sought after commodity at home in Toronto and abroad. A true lover of music, she is not confined to one genre. Spinning everything from Hip Hop to Jazz - L’Oqenz has the ability to fuse them all effortlessly. She has toured across Canada, the United States and the UK, and has shared the stage some of the most respected artists in the business including Zaki Ibrahim, Motion, Jean Grae, Bahamadia, K’naan, M1 (Dead Prez), Prince Paul, Maseo (De La Soul) and Kool Herc. 2006 – 2008 L’Oqenz flexed her multitasking skills by working as Artist Manager and Executive Producer to Zaki Ibrahim. Presently, L’Oqenz is completing a production/art project under the alias NiteOwlNaps and she has been committed to bettering her community by setting aside time to teach and fundraise for various organizations in Toronto. Niteowlnaps – Niteowlnaps is an alias I picked up due to my nocturnal habits. Basically, it’s L’Oqenz past 2/3am… when I really get busy! After spending a long period of time in solitude, I learned a lil sumthin, sumthin about myself.... I see colour and sounds. www.myspace.com/niteowlnaps w/ Deejays Son Of Soul & L'Oqenz Friday June 26th 2009 Harlem Night Club - 67 Richmond St. (at Church) $10 Cover 8pm Doors 19+ I.D. A MUST Download the Turn Me Up Some (Party Warm Up Mix) Here My portion of the mix is dedicated to my sister Diane. We love you, get well soon!!! myspace.com/saidahbabatalibah Beautiful, captivating, profoundly deep and sexy as hell! With a voice that resurrected Fred Astaire! I saw it myself at the Gladstone. This one's gonna be exciting. Reach! myspace.com/kingreignmusic I remember back in the day (at least it feels like a long time ago) working at The Master Plan Show (89.5 CIUT) as a host/deejay and coming across a cut from King Reign Produced by Darp Malone called:Looking for Love This song never came out of my rotation. I was gripped then and still remain a huge fan and honoured to be billed with him June 16th at Trane Studios. For those of you, who may not know, DON'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO SLEEP! Check him on imeem! & Facebook There is so much I can say about this individual but that can take hours of typing. Lucky, his name does the job. A true Deejay & man of the people. Son Of Soul has been holding it down in the city and always keeping it real (a statement that I'm sparingly careful with). It made me proud when Ivana Santilli recognized him at the DJ Stylus awards as one of the founding musical teachers and contributors in this city. I'll be holding it down with him at Harlem on June 26th but you already knew this!!! afrodelik.com There's nothing like a good T-Shirt with a dope ass print. Afrodelik was conceived in 2006 and since then, Desiree has been on her grind getting her clothes in the hands of some pretty well known entertainers such a: Jill Scott, Jully Black, Eryka Badu, P Diddy etc. I hope ya'll will continue to support this sister. Catch her this summer at: Big on Bloor (street vendors) - Saturday, June 20th - 1-9pm (on Bloor) Afrofest - Saturday and Sunday, July 11-12 - 11am-10pm (Queen's Park) Afrivilliage - Saturday and Sunday, August 29-30 - 11am-9pm (on Bloor, between Christie and Ossington) masiaone.com Never sleeps, never stops & in the midst of all the hoopla, never forgets. Holding it down internationally, I still don't know how she manages to do so damn much and make time for real conversations mid exercise routine. And I just received the birthday package she sent me. What a nice surprise!! It was both heartfelt and thoughtful. I'm not big on birthdays and all that but I just find it amazing that she took the time to craft and personalize something inspiring. Thank you for always reminding me to remember girl! If you happen to be in the Singapore area June 26th... check her out at the Hennessy Artistry Event djgrouch.podomatic.com I was blessed to spend quality hang time with my friend Theo 3 & Grouch after receiving his 3rd DJ Stylus award for Underground DJ. Very little folks manage to posses the skills and still remain mad humble. Congrats Grouch! Respect all the time! myspace.com/14ktz I'm in love. Cop the album. Nuff said. myspace.com/damfunk I think I'm in love again. COP IT! I can watch production instruction all day. Shouts out to Marco. I know this joints been around for sometime but I can't get over the beauty of the video. Lebron James & Kobe Bryant by Qoob TV I first came across this short film at Yes Yes Yall Make sure the kids aren't around (if you have any). I enjoyed this but clearly it's not for everyone. I probably just hyped it up way more than I should but... oh well. Have a look, it's impactful! Spider from Qoob TV on Vimeo myspace.com/kennstarr / myspace.com/loqenz Do you remember the times?
