FAST LIFE and ALMOST FAMOUS! are pleased to welcome back the legendary TITTSWORTH to Vancouver. Our boy Titts has taken over the world since his last visit, releasing the massive 12 STEPS album on PLANT MUSIC and further establishing his B-MORE CLUB label T&A as the scene’s leading light, From a performance aspect, Tittsworth has continuously dominated decks at a plate-a-minute’s pace. Always a crowd pleaser, his diverse sets bend genres seamlessly and energetically. From URB and XLR8R to NME, his production continues to gain high praise. Titts music is a permanent fixture in blogs, charts and the press. Tittsworth has been asked to remix everyone from pop icon Kanye West and disco legend Grace Jones, to DNB frontrunner Subfocus, Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak label and AC Slater’s Party Like Us Records. He has gained critical acclaim from Interscope Records, who personally invited him to Will.I.am’s house to showcase well-received Titts tracks. Join us August 14th for a night featuring the most upfront in club music!

Random Long Weekend Part Deux, what cha’ll gonna do. Dance your ass off that’s what. Thanks to everyone who jammed out with us on June 30th. The next installment of Random Long Weekend is going down on Sunday August 2nd at The Modern (7 Alexander Street).
These parties will have your favourite random mix of heavyweight DJ’s rocking their favourite random jams while you boogie the night away with a random dance partner. Yup, as you can see, it’s f&%kin’ RANDOM! The only thing that’s consistent is damn good music!
On our next bill we’re bringing some more talented DJs to The Modern. We’re putting the nights vibe in the hands of Smalltown DJ’s own Wax Romeo, DJ Hedspin from the Eh! Team and electro party rockers Crooks & Gunn.
On top of the stacked DJ lineup – we have $10 cover, $6 Double Highballs, $5 Stellas and for those looking to get adventurous we have Jager shots going for $4. Put on your dancing shoes and make it a RANDOM LONG WEEKEND you won’t forget.

After the huge success of June’s party with Smalltown Romeo. BLKOUT is back at the Modern JULY 11 with HUGE lineup featuring NYC’s finest, COUSIN COLE and mixtape king DJ BENZI. Cole runs the amazing Flagrant Fowl imprint with partner in crime Pocketknife, is a mainstay on the NYC party circuit and can pretty much remix any tune into something 1000 x better!! BENZI does not sleep. Period. Probably the hardest working DJ in the Biz, Mr. Get RIght is constantly putting out major mix after mix, including the massive Sky High with Kanye West, Paper route Gangsterz with DIPLO and the forthcoming soundtrack to your summer.
