THE CYPHER - P-Plus x Faction





FEATURED DJ:

P-PLUS
http://www.djpplus.com/

Striving for perfection is a futile battle and for DJ P-Plus, it's always been his ultimate goal. With his journey to achieve and prevail, DJ P-Plus has racked up numerous accolades including multiple DJ of the Year awards; land not one, but two regular commercial radio slots; and touring extensively across Canada, the U.S., the Caribbean, Europe and Japan. Through his experiences DJ P-Plus has established a reputation for being one of Canada's most multifaceted, crowd-pleasers.

It's no secret that the testament of DJ P-Plus' success comes from being a true music connoisseur. While some DJs focus on only one or two genres of music, he intentionally embraces all genres, from jazz to hip hop, reggae to rock and everything else in between. When he drops that needle and starts to spin, what you hear is not just a series of songs, but his ability to create a soundtrack for an experience you'll always remember.

As a resident DJ on Toronto's CHR-Rhythmic radio station, The New FLOW 93.5 FM, DJ P-Plus takes his listeners on a musical journey thru two mixshows, the Midday Mix during weekday afternoons, and then his second slot, the award-winning "The Real Frequency" show, where his extensive knowledge of hip-hop shines through. To broaden his international reach, he also throws down for an internet radio show called "Soul Intentions" on Globe-Radio.com.

This relentless work ethic and 12 years of experience has not gone unnoticed -- from television appearances on MuchMusic, BET and NBA XL, to numerous nominations and also awards. DJ P-Plus was awarded with Dap Entertainment's DJ of the Year and the Stylus Group's Underground DJ of the Year in 2008. As well as, "The Real Frequency" show was recognized as Now Magazine's Best Toronto Radio Show. In 2009, he won the prestigious award for Stylus Radio Mixshow DJ of the Year. Over the years, he's also earned the respect and acclaim from his musical peers, working with industry leaders such as Deborah Cox, KRS-One, EPMD, Beenie Man, Colin Munroe and Saukrates.

2009 was a rewarding year as DJ P-Plus launched his own company, known as P3 Entertainment. P3 not only focuses on artist development by working with clients such as buzz worthy rapper Drake and soul singer Melanie Fiona, but also brand management, consulting and DJ servicing. The company has already left a great impression on the music scene in Canada.

Whether it's on radio, club venues, on stage, or the corporate surroundings of galas and brand marketing initiatives, DJ P-Plus is unafraid to step outside the box and showcase his versatility in whatever outlet comes his way. DJ P-Plus shows that no matter where he is, he'll always have a passion for music in his heart and perfection on his mind.

"The endless pursuit of perfection is the road I travel and will achieve. I do what I do because it motivates me to attempt the impossible." -DJ P-Plus

THE CYPHER - JAN. 12 - DJ ROMEO x NEWBREEDMC

Keepin' it moving in 2011...

Featuring special guest: ------>DJ ROMEO on the 1's and 2's


http://www.THEREALDJROMEO.com/

"DON'T FORGET THE NAME!"


and featured performance by: ------>NEWBREEDMC on the mic


http://www.reverbnation.com/newbreedmc

It's not very often that a rapper can come along and blend raw underground rap skills with commercial appeal that transcends cultural and social barriers, but NewBreedMC is definitely one of those MC's cut in the mold of a Mos Def or Black Thought. Holding true to the core essence of Hip Hop that started out in the Bronx, NewBreedMC can spit a rhyme to have the back packer bopping their heads and at the same time he is well enough in tuned to social issues and political agendas that his words could start a small revolution.
NewBreedMC is the epitome of a rapper's rapper and will have every ear that tunes in listening to every verse with the utmost attention.
Don't miss a line - if so rewind!


THE CYPHER

Hip Hop culture manifests through the creative self-expression of individuals who embody its spirit in their respective art forms. This power of spontaneous creativity, the unification of a community for the great purpose that is Hip Hop, happens at The Cypher.

Artists sign up to take part in group performances called cyphers, in which each performer takes a few minutes on the mic and then passes it on to the next performer. All performances occur over music supplied by a live DJ spinning hip hop instrumentals. Local producers also have an opportunity to have their music played at The Cypher and rapped over by the performing artists. There are also a few spots at The Cypher reserved for featured artists to perform their own sets.

The Cypher is a grassroots hip hop event started by MC FÜBB, DJ Combo and the Hip Hop Headz (H3) community in downtown Toronto in the summer of 2009. The Cypher is an event where hip hop MCs, DJs, producers, and other artists from around the city come to meet and showcase their talents and skills, and gives them an opportunity to network and create business opportunities. The Cypher is an event designed to keep alive the spirit of spontaneous creativity and showmanship that can occur only in hip hop. The Cypher is an opportunity for various members of the hip hop community to perform, network, build community and have fun.
