KamikazeVibrations presents djs from around the world...www.xltrax.com Saturdays at 3pm est (8pm GMT

About Me

PLEASE ALSO CLICK BELOW ON KAMIKAZEVIBRATIONS AND ADD AS A FRIEND. THAT's ABOUT TO BECOME THE OFFICIAL MYSPACE MUSIC PAGE FOR BOTH DJTHEPHARMACIST AND KAMIKAZEVIBRATIONS.Being a DJ has been part of my life since I put my first record onto a turntable at a youth club when I was 11 years old Yes! you could mix with 78rpms, but they were damn heavy to cart around everywhere.). Through the years I've played records in Canada, the USA, UK and France. As a resident dj on CIUT-FM in the early 80s in Vancouver, I had the chance to bring eclectic electronic European sounds together with early dance and rap records. Now, I have been broadcasting at www.xltrax.com every Saturday. Recently, I moved my radio show to 3pm (eastern standard time) and am presenting shows from djs from around the world. Upcoming shows include: (Canada) vs Donald Glaude (USA), Jorge Jaramillo, Phobos, and, in July, some very exciting shows focusing each week on one artist, names tba this week .....and many more (there's a full list below for the June schedule)........Me? When I play live, I love playing long sets; nine, ten, twelve hours suits me just fine.Oh yeah.....those KamikazeVibrations.......now that's like having Thing One and Thing Two hanging around the dj booth all nite. One never knows what craziness they'll spark. Once, they put me in bubblewrap inside a box, sealed it and sent me via FedEx to Poland. Another time, they played their whole dj set backwards. Who else would strip naked and dance all nite in a mega-store's main windows in downtown Toronto........with NO music playing? Brilliant but crazy they are. Couldn't do what I do without them.WWW.XLTRAX.COM presents different djs with different styles all week long...ain't that what makes the world.........?? Ain't That A Groove.

My Interests

Interesting to note that one in 7 people will make love after reading this profile, one in 70 will lose a tooth. One in 700 people will break a bone in their body after reading this profile, one in 7000 people will fall out of an airplane, not intentionally. Finally one in 70.000 people will get eaten by a hippo!! Fascinating stuff me thinks.
