To all promoters who might be reading this, can I please draw your attention to the amazing talents and technique of a Canadian DJ/Producer that really deserves to some exposure - ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr Rodi Style! I've had the good fortune and pleasure to work with Ben last weekend on my trip to Clagary and Edmonton and, frankly, I was amazed that he and his partner Chris aren't getting more bookings than they are right now. Playing truly banging hard dance with a flair and skill I've not seen in a LONG while, I can honestly say that this is a DJ you really ought to look out for. Great scratching, chopping and sampling techniques thrown in for good measure, this guy pulls out all the stops and is a real crowd-pleaser. And what's more, both and Chris are totally sincere, dedicated and genuine guys that are a pleasure to work with. I can't rate em highly enough and in a scene that has its fair share of over-rated so-called 'superstar' DJ's it was a real joy and breath of fresh air to meet and listen to them do their thang. I know Ben's playing at Byte in London next month - I urge you to check him out coz you won't be disappointed! smile

I defo's agree with you Chris, i went over to Canada in October last year & played at the same event as Ben.

well i have to say that after going for dinner with both these guys just a few hours before the show , they looked pretty tired and i was starting to think they wouldnt even be awake for their sets ..

i was sitting in the club waiting for the boys to show up and have to say , Chris looked better after getting some sleep back at the hotel , Rodi on the other hand looked like he had been sacked with a bag of potatoes ... i think it was about 30 minutes later Rodi was passed out on a couch behind the DJ Booth using my gf's jacket as a blanket hahahahahahahaha

 

 

Chris C pulled off a really great set considering his opening dj made it a little rough to get the crowd into it , then lucky me got to play right between Chris and Rodi , gotta admit i was shakin like i was having the fits but after the first mix i pulled it together and started having the time of my life .. built up the crowd with a fairly wide ranging set of house , trance , hard trance and hard house and then it was the Rodi Style show , for not what was the expected 1 hour slot ( 1 hour slots should be bannished , but thats for another topic ) , but after a no show by one of the other dj's Rodi's set was extended for another hour ... not only was this more of Rodi Banging it out hard house style , but we got to hear some of his more trancey productions and i gotta say i was well impressed .......

this was a great night , and i only wish the turn out in edmonton was as good as it was in calgary ( but the edmonton show had to compete against a large outdoor venue show , which contributed to the not as packed as usuall venue ...

would like to say thanx to Chris C for all the years and years of great tunes in the hard dance scene and im sure we'll all miss ya , but good luck in your new ventures of house....

Rodi was nice seeing ya again and hope to see ya soon

p.s. here is a pic for ya

haha so true! I was exhausted when we arrived at the club. (combination of having played thurs night, friday night and then the drive up to edmonton to play sat night). Your gf's jacket was a godsend. I was shivering so badly at that time.  I got a good powernap though and was ready for my set afterwards!

Cheers,

you sure were ready for that set , it was Sean's first time seeing you play live , along with my gf and a close friend Blain ( really tall guy standing with my gf during your set ) it was funny watching all 3 of them watch you with amazment ... only cause now i know how i looked the first time i saw you play hahaha

 

As Chris C mentioned , Rodi is an amazing talent , a great guy , but honestly i think the thing that sets him apart , most definately here in western canada , is the showman ship he brings to his sets .. i was joking about it with friends while he was playing , but it stands true ... RODI STYLE - Winner of the Smallest Man With Big Talent Award ... haha

speaking of that , Rodi , how tall ARE you ?
