Been doing the Den, then stopped when the vibes changed and for a time and felt like I missed that energy with some of my fellow Denites. I still get asked once or twice a week or just random, “when are you going to do another Denday?” Victoria Day is the next Denday celebration.
The legendary selecta African Star has his own spot on the Eglinton strip called Sankofa, (1655 Eglinton Avenue West) and I thought that we’d take the opportunity to connect birds to the stones. A one-of Lion’s Den! See how it goes and we do another if needs be.
For this Denday we going back old school to the original Den selectas in The Juiceman Jonathan Shaw a veteran DJ in the city worked at the first two urban stations in Flow 93.5FM as well as G98.7FM. DJed at thousand parties, balls, shows, dances, clubs and events too numerous to mention and was the first DJ I asked to come play in the Den... Months later Shai of Xixgon joined and I met the twins with him. Nuff vibes on many nights. Fortunately we are in the ‘home’ of African Star so we will have the honor of listening to him spin some of his gems and our lady in the crew is Lauren Speers aka DJ Chocolate.
Together, DJs and fans alike create the Den vibes. Come feel the Den if you have only heard about it...
