DJ Huggs is a champion of not only good DJ’ing but also of playing good music period - from funk 45’s in sweaty dance halls to party classics at swish hotel bars to golden era hip hop for b-boys and upfront club music on main stages all over this great continent of ours. Whether it be the infamous Hollywood Banana Split Party @ LAX with DJ AM, a genre bending two room party in Baltimore with TV On The Radio & Dave Nada, or headlining the long-running Hai Karate night in Calgary; all this while steadily introducing Canada and homebase Montreal to acts like J*Davey and Platinum Army, Eli Escobar and Sharon Jones and rocking alongside everyone from Antibalas to Zero 7 - even The Roots and The Police - when they come to town; not to mention setting the Wunderbar inside the W Hotel in Old Montreal on fire every Saturday night. With 200+ shows on the road a year - from Ottawa to Reno, SF to Philadelphia, Edmonton to Austin - they’ll tell you: when Alex is DJ’ing, people cheer.
In 2007, he shared the stage with acts like The Police,
The Roots, Justice, Soulwax, DJ AM, DJ Craze, Steve Aoki, MSTRKRFT, The Rub and Diplo amongst others. Look out for upcoming dj gigs with DJ Day, Contra and Dave Nada and other heavyweights with plenty of 2008 dates in Canada, USA, Mexico, Costa Rica and Europe.
