BIO:
DJ STATIC
DJ Static got his first taste of hip-hop in1988, when he moved from Hong Kongto Vancouver, Canada. Before he couldeven fully understand the lyrics, he wasalready bumping tapes by legends likeBig Daddy Kane, Eric B & Rakim, andPublic Enemy. Inspired by the live mixinghe heard on college radio mixshows,he saved up money from a summer joband bought his dream pair of Technics1200 turntables in 1994.
15 years later, DJ Static is now an internationally recognized DJ and tastemaker, having rocked parties from New York to Moscow with his high-energy blend ofhip-hop, R&B, funk and old school jams. He has been featured at major hip-hopand street dance events such as Under Pressure and Bust A Move. DJ Static is also a featured performer with Nomadic Massive, one of the premier livehip-hop acts in Canada. The group was invited to Cuba twice to perform at theHavana Hip-Hop Festival and has also performed at the prestigious MontrealJazz Festival.

PROFESSOR GROOVE
Professor Groove began honing his skills mixing funk on Montreal radio station CKUT in 1996. Fast forward through hundreds of radio show sessions, club residencies including Montreal’s long-running Rockdeep Tuesdays, years of DJ tours to the US and
Europe, and a decade of digging ever-deeper
into the rich earth of funk music—in 2010
the funk flows stronger than ever through the
Prof’s fingers. Keeping the raw, compelling sounds of 70s funk front and center, Professor Groove brings in connections with soul, jazz, disco, hip-hop, African and Latin grooves. The radio show WEFUNK, now in its 13th year on CKUT, has attracted a wide, devoted international audience through the internet. On WEFUNK, Professor Groove and partner DJ Static meld four decades of Black American music, selecting rare and underground tracks alongside
influential innovators like James Brown, Kool & The Gang, Eric B & Rakim, and Nas. Spinning live Professor Groove brings the same touch, equally comfortable keeping the dancefloor on fire, laying down breaks for bboys & b-girls, or bringing a warm vibe to a lounge setting. Any way you cut it—Groove’s
got funk for days.
