Incredible Bongo Breaks
or a new Toronto genre as defined by Splattermonkey. Back in the early 90′s there were a whole whack of DJ’s and producers making new forms of dance and club music based on famous drum breaks from funk and soul songs from the 60′s and 70′s. The Winstons’ 1968 single “Color Him Father” backed by [...]

While all walks of life roamed through the building to look at the art installations upstairs and to [...]
