For the last 5 years local DJ collective Beats Without Borders has been
committed to bringing the best global electronica on the planet to
appreciative Vancouver audiences. From legends like DJ Cheb I Sabbah to
hometown heroes like Adham Shaikh, our commitment to top quality acts and
an easygoing vibe has earned us press coverage (CBC, Georgia Straight, the
Province, 24 hours), and sweaty dancefloors, month after month after
month.

For our 5th Anniversary we’re going big! Nickodemus is the key force
behind Turntables on the Hudson; a legendary party that’s still going
strong after 11 years in New York City. The musical policy behind TOTH has
always been “maximum funk and absolute fun”, combining hip-hop, funk,
house with Latin, Afrobeat and Eastern European gypsy sounds. Nickodemus
has toured internationally, and has two complete albums under his belt
“Endangered Species” (2006) and “Sun People” (2009), both of which have
been subsequently remixed by some of the world’s finest producers and
re-released. Nickodemus has, to his credit, over 30 original songs & 40 or
more remixes for artists such as: Billy Holiday, Nina Simone, Thievery
Corporation, Sultan Khan, Astor Piazzolla, Gilfeme, Dublex Inc, Boozoo
Bajou & more.

Nickodemus, the Spy from Cairo, and Beats without Borders is a recipe for
an irresistibly funky, and extremely danceable mix – from Balkan weddings
to desert sunsets; Latin carnivals to Bollywood disco and many other tasty
treats in between. Join us in our celebrations! See you on the dancefloor
on November 19th.
