DJ Soda is one of the pioneer bass music DJs in the Vancouver dance music scene and was instrumental in the construction of the music’s rise to prominence on the West Coast. Over a decade ago Soda began his assault on dance floors as a breakbeat DJ, highlighting as a resident at the top clubs, raves and afterhours in Whistler and then on to playing in the big city limelight as resident DJ in a number of the premier clubs in Vancouver. Soda was not only influential as a DJ in the West Coast dance music forum, but also as a promoter and record label owner. As co-owner and founder of TwentyHz Music, Soda and the TwentyHz events series introduced artists such as Tipper, Bassnectar, Adam Freeland and the Stanton Warriors (to name only a few) to Vancouver and subsequently the West Coast of Canada. As a record label, TwentyHz Music was well represented by many of the top DJs from around the world and was receiving regular rave reviews from the dance music press. The label broke the ground for DJ Wood, one of Canada’s top funk and breaks producer/DJs. It also featured the duo known as Karma which was comprised of Soda alongside Vancouver top jock Matty C aka Pacific.
Up to date, Soda is a resident DJ for Automatic, one of the original drum-n-bass promoters on the West Coast. He has shared the stage with the whose-who of the dance music world, toured extensively from across Canada to around Europe, has been featured at Canada’s top festivals including the Shambhala Festival, Soundwave, WEMF and has graced the decks at several of the world’s top clubs.
