Event Description


Rjd2

REMG Entertainment & Canadian Music Fest 2010 are proud to present RJD2 live in concert at The Mod Club Theatre on Thursday, March 11.

RJD2 the Philadelphia based DJ and multi-instrumentalist began his career in 1993 with a pair of turntables bought from a friend and catapulted to notoriety, fame, and serious hip-hop credibility with 2002’s Dead Ringer LP released on El-P’s record label Definitive Jux.

Dead Ringer feasted on styles both old and new, and in the process created a sound that emerged as one of the most interesting and exciting new voices in instrumental music. RJ’s live show following this release often included a one-man, four-turntable reconstruction of his own work, baffling any crowd fortunate enough to witness it.

RJ collaborates with rapper Blueprint under the name Soul Position, and the duo have released the Unlimited EP, 8 Million Stories and Things Go Better with RJ and Al. His solo albums include Since We Last Spoke, released on Definitive Jux in 2004 and The Third Hand, released on XL Recordings in 2007. In 2009, RJD2 announced details of his forthcoming album The Colossus to be released on his own label RJ’S Electrical Connections.

He still continues to produce tracks, and has worked with a who’s who of underground hip hop, such as Copywrite, Cunninlynguists, Cage, MF DOOM, Diverse and Aceyalone. Magnificent City the collaborative record with Aceyalone, released in 2006, features the song “A Beautiful Mine”, of which, the instrumental version was optioned as the theme music to AMC’s hit drama series Mad Men. 2006 also saw him contribute a cover of “Airbag” by Radiohead for the album Exit Music.

Don’t miss RJD2 live at the Mod Club on Thursday, March 11, during Canadian Music Fest 2010. Wristbands to gain entry into this event are available for purchase at www.canadianmusicfest.com. Wristbands are limited subject to capacity.
