by on 08-06-2010 03:05 PM - last edited on 08-09-2010 11:29 AM

Spin baby spin!  As you might have noticed by the new forum board over on Brand , or the blog post I made over on Brand Talk announcing the Club Beats webcast this Tuesday at 130pm EST, Future Shop is now carrying DJ equipment!

You know what this means, new bloggers!  We've got 4 amazing Canadian DJs joining us as guest bloggers for the next few weeks to show us tricks, tips and demos on the turntables.  I can't wait to read their blogs - if you're in Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal, be sure to check them out at the clubs.  Read on to learn more about this talented group of people and join me in giving them a warm welcome!

DJ Tilt // @DJ_Tilt // website

A true music connoisseur, Jordan “DJ Tilt” Rulloda is quickly rising as one of the most demanded DJ’s not only in Canada, but internationally and overseas as well.

Playing a mashup style of music, his mixes include everything from oldies, 80’s rock to the hottest hip-hop, R&B, Top 40, house, and everything in between. He knows what his crowds like and he knows how to please their ear and keep them dancing until the wee hours of the night.

Over the years, Tilt has had several residencies and currently holds down 5 of the hottest clubs in the city of Toronto. He’s constantly on the go, breaking international audiences as much as possible. Right now, he’s working on his 9th mixtape to date, titled “Party Life3.”

DJ New Money // @newmoney

// website

Emerging from Canada's fashop capital: Montreal; DJ New Money is well-suited when it comes to the creativity he brings to the city's nightlife.  Relatively new to the DJ scene, New Money has positioned himself at the top and has quickly captured the attention of industry leaders across the nation.

Drawing his influences from such icons as: DJ Premier, Diplo & fellow Canadians: Team Canada DJs; New Money embodies passion, energy, youth and originality.

With a style like no other, New Money welds high energy breaks with calculated mixes of nu-disco, house and rap music  Whatever the party, New Money is able to gratify the crowd without compromising his creativity.

Having already done numerous nation-wide tours and holding down the hottest night in Montreal at the Bluedog every Thursday, New Money shows no sign of slowing his momentum.  With various mixtape projects, online radio shows, and international appearances, New Money will be a household name when it comes to entertainment.

DJ Apocalypse // @DJ_Apocalypse // website

As a Club DJ, Apocalypse spins a wide variety of musical genres, touching on anything from Hip-hop, to House, Rock, Retro, Classics, Mashups, and whatever else gets the crowd moving.  His style is distinctive, treating his listeners to a well thought out set of beats, samples and live-remixes.  His musical diversity allows him to cater to both the young clubber as well as the most eclectic of mature clientele.

DJ Coco Fresh // @cocofresh // website

Emerging from the West coast, DJ Coco Fresh is no stranger to music. Being influenced by the soulful raw sounds of her mother’s Motown/oldies collection, Coco Fresh’s father; a self taught guitarist and drummer, taught her the importance of listening to and understanding music with her ears. Coco Fresh’s creativity and curiosity for deejaying transpired in 1999 after listening to DJ’s Flipout and Jay-Swing on ‘The World Wide Ride’. At the age of 13, with no access to two turntables or a mixer, Coco Fresh made substitutions.  Her two records were two CD’s placed flat on her dresser, while two pencils acted as her volume control and the fader; an eraser. Her creative set up allowed her to imitate the skills of a deejay, until she received her first pair of turntables and mixer.


Every DJ needs a stage name. With Coco Fresh it happened in high school. She grew up with the nickname ‘Coco’ and as a teenager she always rocked ‘fresh’ sneakers. Her best friend combined the two and ‘DJ Coco Fresh’ was born. Coco Fresh brings high energy while seamlessly creating mixes where she is able to spin all genres. She’ll hit you with a one the spot remix of Etta James, go into an electro set while blending some classic rock and if the feeling is right a set of soca and reggae music then possibly ending it with house music. When DJ Coco Fresh is spinning you can expect the unexpected.


Through out high school, Coco Fresh took her craft more seriously and began deejaying assemblies’, dances and private parties. Through out the party circuit, DJ Kemo, Flipout and Jay Swing took notice of Coco Fresh and soon after gave her pointers on how to excel with deejaying.  DJ Coco Fresh’s guidance and influence comes from some of Canada’s respected DJ’s; Starting From Scratch, Baby Yu, Wristpect, Atrak, 4Korners, and Hunt. Her ultimate goal is to bring great music to people around the world.
