Denis A

April 20 2011 // DJ Spotlight

Denis has been a valued member of CJLO for sometime now and explaining how much we appreciate him would take more than just a DJ of the Week post. Denis is a DJ who not only host his show but can be counted on to help out in any and all situations. His humble beginnings began as a 3rd co-host on The Siamese Libertines and since then he has set the bar with his own show Dirty Work. Fresh off his Robert Vairo Award for Broadcasting Excellence win; Denis was sent a questionnaire for his DJ of the week post. Here are the results

What is your DJ alias? & what are its origins?
"Denis A" is really what happened when I wrote my name once and got lazy about halfway through.

Heard of a cappella vocal music? All the vocal nerds that just chirruped kindly ignore this bit. To the rest, allow me to educate you. “A cappella” means vocal music without instruments. While originally a classical term, it's commonly found in styles like doo wop, barbershop and, more recently, pop covers ('Glee' and 'The Sing-Off' both feature a cappella music).

Lachlan Fletcher

April 12 2011 // DJ Spotlight

When Lachlan Fletcher came to CJLO he had a vision for his – then desert rock themed – show The Subplot; have a theme and make it fun. He did just that and went on to become a dedicated volunteer at the station. When he wasn’t hosting his show, he would be recording a band and when he wasn’t doing that, he could be heard reading the news. In 2009, Lachlan was nominated for CJLO Diego Award for Best Radio Voice and won the award for Best New Show.

Classified + Kidz In The Hall @ Club Soda

April 12 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

So, on a beautiful Saturday, there I was at another great concert (one of many that weekend in Montreal). The first act had just finished playing to an almost full Club Soda when I got there. For it to be full at that point - before the main act - was great to see. Whatever the reason, we were all there to see Juno-nominated rap-producer Classified.

Comeback Kid + Title Fight @ Foufounes Electriques

April 11 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

To put things into perspective, this was my first time seeing Comeback Kid. Every time they come to town, I'm always kinda interested, but never enough to make seeing them a priority. Finally, everything came together, the stars aligned, and I got my name on the list! On to the show!

Collie Buddz + New Kingston + Los Rakas @ Club Soda

April 11 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

Finally the Buddz come around! Collie Buddz (born Colin Harper), dancehall/ reggae artist, paid Montrealers a visit on Wednesday, April 6th at Club Soda as part of his Playback Tour.
