Description Business as Usual proudly presents our inaugural bash: Hipnotech
featuring:
Rosanna McGuire [Business as Usual | www.cleoflaptra.com]
Rosanna returns to Southern Ontario after spending 2 years studying and performing in San Francisco. There, she studied with a who’s who of bellydance: Suhaila and Jamila Salimpour, FCBD, Jill Parker, Zoe Jakes, Rachel Brice, Mira Betz, Cera Byer, and Amy Sigil. In California, Rosanna also had the opprtunity to expand her movement repertoire outside of bellydance and into vinyasa yoga, breakdance, house, and locking. She is known for her unique interpretation of tribal fusion, incorporating elements of vintage jazz dances as well as hip-hop, while referencing traditional styles of Middle Eastern dance. Rosanna continually strives to dance outside of her own box and fully admits to having dance ADD.
Rosanna is also teaching a bellydancing workshop that same weekend. Weekly classes now being held in Toronto. See www.cleoflaptra.com/instruction.html for details!
Musical support from:
JD Mack [Business as Usual | Opulent Temple]
Opulent Temple heavy hitter JD Mack (aka Nick McAlister) steps in with his blend of bass heavy dancefloor stompers—everywhere from slamming breaks to slamming techno (see a pattern developing here?). Having played around the world, from Bondi Beach to Burning Man (alongside DJ Dan, Christopher Lawrence and Carl Cox to name a few), J.D. is once again getting ready to unleash the beast on Toronto’s unsuspecting victims.
G Cue [Raw Soul]
Gerard Valdez, aka G Cue, has been playing his own brand of chunky, funky house in Toronto and surroundings for years and is a major threat on the decks. Cofounder of the Raw Soul and a regular at underground house jams put on by Nine, Boogie Inc. and Bounce. Gerard has been djing for 16 years of his life, learning and being inspired by Toronto locals as well as visiting stars like Mark Farina and Derrick Carter. Gerard has also played the Harvest Festival, Promise Cherry Beach parties, Circa and Footwork, to name just a few of his musical appearances and milestones.
