How many people does it take to shut down a New York City block and cause a riot? Two, provided they are armed with a synthesizer, drum machine and a discography under the guise of Mstrkrft.
It’s true, Toronto’s electro-house darlings were slated to play a club in NYC two weeks ago and oversold the venue so much that more than 2,000 hipsters were stuck in line outside. But the hype surrounding the DJ duo drove the mob into frenzy, inciting a riot that was eventually quelled by the NYPD itself.
“It was a pretty proud moment that we double-sold the club and had a street in New York City closed down, even if just for a few hours,” Jesse Keeler, one half of Mstrkrft, tells andPOP. “The fact that that’s happening … that takes a long time to build.”
Mstrkrft was born in Toronto in 2005, storming clubs and parties with their take on the burgeoning electro-house trend. After dominating the GTA scene, the duo made up of Keeler and Alex Puodziukas (otherwise known as Al-P) stepped up their game.
First came the singles “Easy Love” and “Work on You” before an official LP, “The Looks,” debuted in July 2006. Then came the tours: Canada, North America, the world.
Buck 65 will soon be heard — not just played — on the radio.
The Canadian artist, whose real name is Rich Terfry, will host CBC’s Radio 2 Drive on weekdays, starting on Sept. 2.
A third of Terfry’s show will feature contemporary Canadian artists, and will focus on singer/songwriters. It will also occasionally feature live performances and interviews with other artists.
“I’ll be playing music and telling stories! My two favorite things! I’m sure I’ll have the chance to be exposed to and educated by lots and lots of new music and musicians from all over the world everyday. This job promises to allow me to grow a lot.”
This won’t be Terfry’s first time hosting a radio show. For 11 years, he hosted a campus radio show.
