The Ottawa Xpress posted an article this week about the Canadian Floor Masters and their 25th anniversary. The crew got a ton of coverage back in the day for their trip to Russia during an unstable time. The crew followed Stephen Leafloor (a.k.a. Buddha), the founder of the group, and went on to do shows as well as community work. Working with first nations peoples, CFM were giving an otherwise underground dance, a good rep. The group affiliated themselves with the New York City Breakers and did great things for putting Canada on the map for something other than having a huge land mass. Congratulations guys!
One of Ottawa’s longest running DJs, Trevor Walker, made the front page of the Ottawa XPress today and boy, does he deserve it!
He’s been blending beats in Ottawa’s top nightspots since the late ’80s, witnessing the birth of new wave, acid jazz, Hip-Hop, House and Techno from the disc jockey’s pulpit.
