Here’s our last installment in our little Canadian hip hop/rap exposé, but certainly not the least. I kinda saved the best for last…

Scotty Dynamo is a 19 year old producer, rapper AND actor from Toronto, Canada. His style is actually not that far from The Girls Can Hear Us. In fact, when I heard him first, I thought it was a new track from the Ontario boys. Luckily, it wasn’t. So I got another set of songs to fall in love with.

Scotty also combines electronic dance floor friendly beats, with witty and poignant lyrics. But maybe even more so. Most of his tunes are full of analogue goodness. Some of them will make you wonder whether you’ve been teleported back to the 80s. On the other hand, his style sounds so very much “today” that you cannot help thinking that surely this must be the perfect soundtrack to the late noughties…

Despite his age, Scotty’s been around a while and has managed to secure a pretty decent online following and fan base. He has released his first EP (check iTunes or Amazon) – and I’m pretty sure we’ll hear from him again. Soon.

Until then, here’s “Make it right” from his debut-EP. Enjoy!

SPECIAL BONUS:

Scotty was kind enough to give us this stunning electro remake/remix/mash-up/wotsit as well, containing elements from Benny Benassi and Ace of Base and some wicked rhymes from the man himself. This is a definite must, folks! [MP3]

Richard from ShoVine showed us this video, what he did last night after the Stooges gig in Toronto. Iggy Pop exits Massey Hall, Toronto and meets with fans and autograph
collectors. Iggy is asked about the recent theft of the Stoogies’ gear
in Montreal – "It’s us that play the music. Not the sticks of wood. " Hahahaha, how right is he! THX Richard for pointing out this! We are much more relaxed now, like Iggy himself.
