Free Press Review - Team Canada
Canadian Club Volume 1
Montreal mashup mavericks Team Canada (aka Grandtheft and D.R.one) are back with the highly anticipated followup to their debut, Classic Material Volume 1. Known for the genre smashing DJ performances where everything from straight-up club bangers, white label remixes, rock, hip hop and post-rave electro get equal speaker time, their sophomore release isn’t much different.
Hosted by Toronto M.C. Kardinal Offishall, Canadian Club Volume 1 sees the duo dig deep and pull out their own remix-heavy gems featuring artists like David Bowie, Drake, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Three 6 Mafia. More than just a DJ mix, their second release showcases the busy Montrealer’s skills in the studio. Instead of just stacking up the hottest tracks from the last year, Grandtheft and D.R.one obviously spent some time in the studio making fresh beats and custom edits that not only give their mix a unique twist, it proves why they are the hottest club DJs in the country right now.
Team Canada perform alongside locals Co-op and DJ Hunnicutt tonight at The Academy.
