The Feral Child x DJ Acro

My good dude DJ Acro has just released his first full length studio mixtape. The project was backed by Ottawa's own Raised By Wolves and produced by the man himself Cal Green. The mix features many dope hip hop tracks that have been tickling Acro's ear for the last year or so. Give it a listen, download it, and make sure to bump it LOUD at your next party!

And make sure to catch Acro and his versatility as a DJ this coming Thursday for SKATE NIGHT at Babylon Nightclub as he takes the stage with the likes of WE WERE SHARKS and HEAD DOWN for an old fashioned punk show.

Return of the original SKATE NIGHT @ BABYLON 03.14.12

BABYLON x 11 PM x COVER $3 x DJ ACRO x JULIUS MYTH

With the recent blast of warmer weather and a full extra hour of daylight, it's safe to say that winter is finally on its way out. Skateboarders are in the streets sweeping hard, relishing in the joy and return of their four-wheel freedom.

As such, we expect a large and enthusiastic crowd to celebrate the return of Ottawa's beloved SKATE NIGHT, at Babylon Nightclub, after a brief winter hiatus. In order to mark this glorious occasion, Skate Night's brainchild Sam Francis is calling on the Ottawa skate community to help support the Wakefield skatepark initiative; this night is dedicated to raising money for our friends at the Wakefield Skatepark and Sports Pad. 

Making this night extra special will be the performance of Julius Myth (Queens, NY). Skate Night and Top of the World's resident DJ Acro has been working hard to secure this special guest feature performance. And if anyone is asking what the link is between Julius and skateboarding? Well, our boy Myth holds it down at one of NYC's premiere skateshops  Belief Skateshop and Boutique located in Astoria Queens. And so it follows that Skate Night was just a natural fit for this hip hop skate head. 

Check him out and come join us this Wednesday, March 14, 2012 at Babylon Nightclub (317 Bank St. Ottawa ON) for some drinks, new grip tape, dope beats, and manny madness!!

All Things Classic x DJ ACRO: August edition.

ALL THINGS CLASSIC continues this month with a summer ending/fall welcoming event. This all vinyl monthly feature has quickly become one of the premiere events on the Ottawa scene and features all the best classic and wax from hip hop, soul, funk, blues, reggae, breaks, and samples. 

After holding down July as a solo effort,  DJ ACRO is going back full circle and welcoming back  DJ ILLO who helped him launch the first ever all things classic back in March. As for himself, Illo has had a busy summer, making it very clear that he has picked up some pretty heavy wax while travelling around the country and is ready to throw down for this one!

So with that, I invite you all down to the Standard Luxury Tavern (360 Elgin St.) on TUESDAY, AUGUST 30th, 2011 for what is easily the best and most unique monthly feature in Ottawa.

Starts at 10pm. NO COVER.

5$ Martinis

4$ Jagerbombs

4$ Chicken Wings

2$ Gourmet mini burgers

Our Streets on Canvas

On May 24, 2011 fresh off a 9 hour drive back from Timmins with Acro, we hit up the Standard for a Standard Tuesday with DJ Acro. Lucky for us, the Standard was playing host to Our Streets on Canvas which was essentially a fundraiser for Make-A-Wish Foundation with a silent auction for some fresh photo pieces of the Ottawa skate scene. (a.k.a great night, good beats, and mad team hangs.) Cheers to Andrew Rochette and crew for keeping the skate community on point...
