    hi everyone,

    Here's the scoop on a brand new weekly club night that Sassa'le and myself
    are kicking off as of next Saturday eve. We're having lots of guests in
    with us for the entire month of July, including Richard Brooks, DJ's from
    the FLIRT and Dubplatespecial crews, THUNDERBALL from Washington, D.C., and
    PTR recording artists LAL performing live as part of their video and EP
    release party. Read on for full details, and please pass the word along to
    friends.

    As always, if you'd prefer not to receive the info I send out, let me know
    so and I'll remove ya from my list. Things have been extraordinarily busy
    of late, so thanks for reading up on all of the events I'm part of and/or
    organizing. I'm sure there won't be any more announcements from this camp
    for, oh, at least a week. :-) Take care.

    Following a full year of their successful 'Soleil Fridays' at Fez Batik,
    CKLN selectors Denise Benson and Sassa'le have decided to step it up -
    literally - and move their beats 'n concepts to Saturday nights at B-Side.
    The out-of-this-world room directly above Fez Batik is an ideal venue;
    futuristically funky, B-Side is a perfect space for the fresh, 'anything
    good goes' attitude that Denise and Sassa apply to their signature,
    open-minded mixes. Better still, B-Side boasts a slammin' system and
    full-on dancefloor, in comparison to Fez' more laid-back lounge vibe. Where
    the emphasis at sunny Soleil was on chillin', the stars point in the
    direction of movin' and groovin' at SOULAR. Don your dancing shoes and
    prepare to enter a new dimension as SOULAR system takes off, Saturday July
    8.

    SATURDAY JULY 8: Denise and Sassa'le are joined by veteran scenester,
    Richard Brooks. One half of RNB, Rick is known for promoting the music that
    he loves, shining the spotlight on soulful house music artists such as Ron
    Trent, Frankie Feliciano, and our own Abacus. This evening, Richard digs
    deep into his collection and gives up the goods. $5 cover.

    SATURDAY JULY 15: SOULAR system in association with FLIRT presents a night
    of UK Garage. Check the sounds of the latest & greatest British dance music
    craze, as brought to you by ex-pat guest DJ's Cassy of FLIRT, and Ricks &
    Koolwhip of DubPlateSpecial. SOULAR's Denise & Sassa add the beats * breaks
    * house & jungle to the UKG. $7 cover.

    SATURDAY JULY 22: tommygrl proudly welcomes dubbed out Washington D.C. duo
    Thunderball in their first Canadian appearance. With their punk rock
    backgrounds, design experience, and appreciation for blissed out beats 'n
    bass, Steve Raskin and Sid Barcelona have a great deal in common with
    friends and label-bosses, Thievery Corporation. The duo's dub-steeped sonic
    adventure Ambassadors of Style is out now on Thievery's ESL label. Catch
    them while you can, on a bill also featuring Denise, Sassa, and guest
    Andrew Allsgood. $12 at the door. dub * downtempo * beats * breaks * d&b.

    SATURDAY JULY 29: We at SOULAR system are super pleased to be working with
    Public Transit Recordings in order to co-present a video AND e.p. release
    party for PTR artists, LAL. LAL features conscious vocalist Rosina and
    producer/ instrumentalist Murr, bringing together jazz, soul, hip hop and
    drum & bass with their East Indian heritage. LAL will perform live, with
    producer/DJ's and PTR label-heads Moonstarr and Logic also joining Denise
    and Sassa. The brand-new video for LAL's "Corners" will screen throughout
    the evening. $8 at the door, $5 with a valid TTC transfer from that day.
