New Releases in 2020

DFE is excited for two brand new releases coming in early 2020!

The first release will be a 7" vinyl that we've been anticipating for awhile on Ill Adrenaline Records. The A-Side is "Record Store" featuring the legendary J-Live over a bossa-nova influenced beat produced by DJ Cosm & Metawon. The B-Side is "Fli Beat Patrol" produced by French beatmaker Djar One, an upbeat banger where Teekay goes through the history of hip hop beats starting from soul music in the '60s and '70s.

The second release is our new project Banff Avenue, which is an entirely in-house production with Cosm on the beats and Teekay on the rhymes. Check out the video for the lead single, "Banff Avenue" here!

Banff Avenue track listing:
1. Banff Avenue
2. Overtime
3. Vortex
4. On My Way
5. Looking for Tomorrow
6. How Ya Doin'?
7. Talking at the Movies

NYE hip hop style

Welcome 2019 with friends and beautiful strangers at your home away from home, the Ship & Anchor. 
Good tunes and good times will help us start 2019 off on the right note with a hip-hop funk dance shindig. 

BLADES OF STEEL are back from the dead, re-uniting for one night only. Two MCs and a crack four-piece band will make a funky hip-hop noise worthy of the year’s biggest party. People are still talking about their 2013 NYE show on this same stage, and more celebratory vibes await this time around. 

DRAGON FLI EMPIRE are Calgary’s hip-hop staple, delivering crowd-pleasing old school vibes to get you out of your chair, with your hands in the air. They’ve been around the world, but they want to bring in 2019 with you! 

SABO FORTE, one of the city’s foremost party rocking DJs, will take care of the before, between and after, feeding you good time tracks to help you get on down from early till late.

Spend NYE with these good-time acts, at the bar so famous it only needs one word: The Ship.

No cover! Event page here.
