DJ SPOTLIGHT

Mike Vo aka DJ Mister Vee

My show is called Beats From The East.... a weekly showcase featuring Urban Music from Far-East Asian communities worldwide!

Since 2009, we have been introducing the likes of the Far-East Movement, Dumbfoundead, The Juan Maclean, Epik High, Masia One, King Giddra, Nitro Microphone Underground, Drunken Tiger, and Awkwafina to Montreal's airwaves.

In doing so, we have also won CJLO Diego awards for Best Hip-Hop show, Best Niche show, and Most Professional Voice!

CJLO DJ SPOTLIGHT

DJ Spacepirate hosts Burnt Offerings, the absolute worst show ever to curse AM radio. There he mostly plays brand-spanking-new Canadian metal, as well as other types of new Canadian metal. Sometimes he doesn't play Canadian metal from the past 3 months, such as Canadian metal from more than 3 months ago, or metal not from Canada but still from the past 3 months. He gets reduced rations when this happens.

Battle of The Jokers on #GeektastiqCypha

 
If you've played F*ck/Marry/Kill then Drain/Team-Up/Defeat this will make sense to you!
 
Essentially you are Draining the essence of one character (whether that be powers, personality, strengths and weaknesses), Teaming Up with another (hello life partner) and defeating the last (bye boy bye).
