Quality Productions brings you: B'S WAX, a 45rpm BIRTHDAY JAM ft. VINYL RITCHIE, FOXY MORON, and CIVILLIAN w/ Primitive and mr.b It’s mr.b’s 45th birthday. We’re gonna party. He wanted a shaker for his 40th but was foiled by the pandemic and the restrictions that came with it. We’re making up lost time and throwing together a DJ’s DJ line up sure to leave no tune left unturned. Classic to fantastic, all 45s all night long, no genres, just party. Let’s go! VINYL RITCHIE https://www.instagram.com/45vinylritchie/ https://soundcloud.com/wicked-lester https://wickedlester.bandcamp.com/ https://www.mixcloud.com/45vinyl/ Vinyl Ritchie (or by his production moniker, Wicked Lester) made a name for himself as an inventive mash-up artist, long before the hipsters and Ableton/Serato remixers started hybridizing newer forms of electronica. In the early days of Vancouver's embryonic 90s rave scene, Scott discovered new ways to play almost anything he found himself identifying with. He would sensibly stack electronic releases with dusty and forgotten b-sides and solid gold hits…not neglecting any of his own personal tailgate favorites, all during a time when classifications and sub-genres were few and far between. Vinyl Ritchie was one of the first club DJ’s in Western Canada to find such new ways to bring the most unassuming mixes to life. Coined, “Canada’s King of the 45’s…” he’s better known for his near religious obsession with ‘vinyl only’ sets. He’s demonstrated lengthy 45 sets at festivals, making him the no brainer booking for mr.b’s 45th birthday jam. FOXY MORON https://www.instagram.com/djfoxymoron/ https://www.facebook.com/djFoxyMoron Foxy Moron has been playing records for 20+ years and especially adores playing 45s! She finds it impossible to stick to just one genre, so expect a melange of music. ~Free your mind and your bum will follow. ~Soul, Funk, Breaks, Jazz, HipHop, Disco, Rock, Electronic, etc (aka DJing;) 6X Voted "Whistler's Favourite DJ" by the readers of Pique Newsmagazine. CIVILLIAN https://www.instagram.com/civillianwashere/ https://soundcloud.com/civillianwashere Civilian has become, undeniably, a respected face on B.C.’s underground sound system/ dance circuit. He is a party rocker, a selector, and one who respects the craft and the culture. His sets consistently fuse upfront modern sensibilities with classics, edits and remixes, blended with tight mixing and turntablism. His Vancouver weekly, D!CE pulls an A-list roster of guests to play intimate sets to a hungry crowd: Fort Knox Five, Flipout, Tor, Slynk, Dunks, Mark Woodward, Dubconcious… he’s in good company. The 2025 festival season has also seen him elevated to a nighttime slot at Shambhala, Slay Bay at Basscoast and fresh appearances at Pachena Bay and the Vancouver edition of Bastid’s BBQ—all while holding his weekly Twitch program “Blunch” and maintaining a lip curtain that makes Tom Selleck jealous. Primitive https://soundcloud.com/primitivehustle https://www.instagram.com/primitivehustle Currently the booking manager for The Downbeat Event Centre. Creating connections and allies, trailing a wake of inspired revellers hungry for more. Check the links; there's plenty of sets from jams like Tall Tree, Shambhala, Soundwave, Rifflandia, Song & Surf, 5 Acre Shaker and numerous club and rave jams. All Primitive ever wanted was to rock a party, and he is guaranteed to create a sweaty mess on the dance floor. Never one to be limited by genre, Primitive’s sound connects the dots between Techno, House, Breaks and Acid, while also dabbling in offshoots of Drum and Bass, including Footwork, Juke, Half Time, and Jungle. A DJ’s DJ that can burn down any dance, Primitive sets are system flexing- think big psychedelic festival set crossed with sweaty late night house party and be ready to get all the way down. mr.b (Quality Productions) https://www.instagram.com/mr.bees_knees_/ https://soundcloud.com/mr-bizzle mr.b’s uncompromising blend of house and breaks is not to be missed. B’s sets are best experienced long form. His real talent lies in teasing out the connections between the various strains of underground dance music he has been steeped in for the better part of his life. From House, Bass and Techno to Disco, Funk and Rock, often dusting off well-worn but forgotten favourites, Mr.B consistently delivers a smooth selection geared for discerning audiences. Over the years residencies in Calgary and Victoria and his long involvement with Shambhala Music Festival have honed his eclectic style- reminiscent of and inspired by legendary artists such as mr. scruff and Mark Farina. A veteran of Shambhala’s Village Stage since 2008, now working with the Living Room, his yearly sets have garnered a dedicated following of left field aficionados that yearn to lighten up the space. We’re excited to know he’s bringing a stash of his muscle beach Monday morning meltdown 45s to start off the night and bring on his 45th solar rotation in style.
