Artist Details
Takahashi
Bonnie got her first stack of records to play with from a friend in 1999. She quickly discovered that she had natural skills on the turntables and talent for mixing tracks. She landed Dj-ing gigs at raves in Calgary and bars in her hometown, Lethbridge Alberta. In 2000, She moved to beautiful Victoria BC where she continued her DJ-ing. Connecting with the local Dj's, Bonnie integrated well into Victoria DJ culture playing all the venues that have ever been graced with turntables. She continues to spin a variety of genres, from Jackin' House, Speed Garage, Nu Disco, Electro and Breaks. Her energy behind the decks keeps the beats rockin' and the feet happy on the dance floor!
Tyler Durden

TYLER DURDEN aka. Evan Batchelor, has been part of the scene for nearly 15 years. From the Trance and Hard House of the late 90's, the Breaks and the Drum 'n' Bass of the early 2000's, to the bangin Electro and Dubstep of the "now". Getting his start throwing parties in 1999-2001 in his hometown of Castlegar and Nelson, BC; and after all this time, Durden finally got into DJ'ing in the summer of 2009. Majorly influenced by huge acts like Will Bailey, Foamo, Kyle Watson and local acts like W.A.X., DJ Breaker (Vancouver) and DJ Nemesis (Vancouver). Expect to be bouncing, cus Durden will be droppin' bombs from start to finish. And remember, if this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight.....
Angry Samoan
Born in Hawaii, Keoni A.K.A Angry Samoan, has become a fan favorite in the DJ world here on the West Coast. Djing for over 10 years, he started mixing it up, in early 2000 with all genre's of music later to find his love for house music! Putting a tribal flavor on all his set gained him notice with the Moonshine crew and played his first major gig with DJ Brain and John Kelly. In 2007, he had another break- through year by opening for Deko-ze, Johnny Fiasco, Kid Kenobe, Nicky Delgado and Paranoid Jack.Also that year was invited to play VEMF and Soundwave! 2008 and 2009 were big years for the Angry Samoan. He opened for Donald Glaude, Jelo, Dave Armstrong, Terry Francis, Soulfix, Toby Emerson, Issac Amour and Jay Hamilton. As well as headlining a lot of shows at the Sunset Room. He also gained International experience, Djing in Australia, 2003, running his own night and last in London and Spain. This year, Keoni signed on with Cloud 21 Events, under his own name and opened for Jamie Vale and Chris Lake! Creating no boundary's, he started up Victoria's first Live,Djing Aerobics classes at Cub Phoenix. Angry Samoan's aggressive style of mixing with all genre's of house adding a tint of tribal to your ear gets a room full of sweaty people dancing for their lives in anticipation of the unknown.
Jay Hamilton

Since bursting onto the electronic dance music scene… 1992 in Canada’s midwest party scene, Jay Hamilton has brought his innovative fusion of chunky progressive and electro to clubs, festivals and large-scale events across the country and beyond via podcasts and internet radio. Many years later and based in Halifax, Jay is known as Canada’s East Coast ambassador to the underground. A veteran performer with 16 years of experience behind the decks, Jay has kept his style fresh by continuously challenging crowds and infusing his tough driving sets with tracks of his own production, re-edits and mashups. Jay’s skills as a performer, producer and crowd-pleaser have won him A-list bookings alongside some of the world’s most revered DJs over the years. A constantly evolving DJ, Jay never limits himself to one genre and frequently explores styles that pique his interest. He has been known to drop breaks, dnb and speed garage on occasion and when the crowd is begging for it, tough as nails tribal progressive and techno. He is a purveyor of only the best in today’s cutting edge electronic music to his loyal fans.
