BUNDOWN SOUND SYSTEM bio:
The BSS is a music & event promotion team made up of music industry veterans from radio and print media, nightlife & lifestyle promotions, and the b-boy/hip hop community.
They first formed in May 2007 as a reaction to the lack of quality nightlife and lifestyle events in Winnipeg. They implemented a marketing strategy to introduce a summer residency that embraced urban music genres that did were not being properly represented in the local nightlife scene and launched it in the most unlikely of venues, The Orbit Room, a popular south end hang. The residency provided a haven of soul, funk, rap and house and patrons could not have been happier. Funk Bundown became the impetus for the formation of the Bundown Sound System, which is comprised of DJs "LIL PHIL" Tse, OFIELD K. Williams, Justin "QUADRATIK" Villarin and Angelou "JAY BOOGIE" Flores, radio personality LUCIOUS Frazier and nightlife promoter Leo "MANIC" Cabanal.
Their combined experiences in the Canadian music and nightlife scene have made them a force to be reckoned with and they have already made an impact locally with their innovative and and exciting nightlife experiences. They have launched a number of residencies since their formation such as the popular WTF?...where's the funk?, Red Carpet Massacre and Charles' Gallery monthly parties, initiated marketing campaigns for successful one-off events like Thriller, the Sex and The District campaign launch and the Breakin' To Spring 2-on-2 b-boy/b-girl battle.
The BSS were also invited to open for Method Man, launch a residency at Earl's St. Vital and Bar Italia and Jay Boogie was nominated for this year's Stylus DJ Awards in the Winnipeg DJ of the Year category - all in less than a year as a team in the local nightlife scene, already making them influential nightlife promotions specialists. They can be heard weekly on CKUW 95.9FM on Sundays (The Lounge) from 1:00-3:00pm and spin weekly at Bar Italia for their Lucky Mix weekly residency and at Earl's St. Vital for the Sugar Mountain-sponsored Pop Culture Thursdays.
