It's Dre Day 2009, everybody's celebratin', and we ain't leavin' 'til 6 in the mornin'!

THE PARTY
Now in it's 7th year, the annual Dre Day celebration (which always coincides with Dr. Dre's birthday, February 18) was conceived by the folks at Burlesque of North America.

The Minneapolis-born party, which at various installments has featured a 40oz ring toss, Dr. Dre cover bands, and the game show-based $20 Sack Pyramid, has become such a phenomenon that it has spawned franchises in other cities, including Chicago, Austin and Brooklyn.

This year, Co-op and Hunnicutt are bringing the Dre Day Party to Canada for the first time ever!

The two-week tour, which will see the fellas hit nearly a dozen clubs across western Canada, including Friday Feb 27th @ Shine! Get Up Get Down - Fridays @ Shine.

THE DJs
With their unique blends of hip hop, funk, disco, rock, reggae and anything else that gets bodies moving, the dynamic duo of DJ Co-op and DJ Hunnicutt have been ruling the dance party scene in Winnipeg for more than seven years. Together they have thrown over 30 parties at clubs (Doin' the Do!, Get on the Good Foot!), on riverboats (That's the Funky Ship!, The Funk Boat), roller rinks ( A Roller Skating Jam Named "Saturdays", Bounce Rock Skate Roll), and even ice skating rinks (Soul On Ice), all the while making each party unique, and challenging themselves to out-do the last.

The winning formula? Well, this turntable tandem not only have the skills (and the records) to make the dance floor elite go wild, they also have the knack for packing them in, too. From witty press releases and quirky radio and internet commercials, to imaginative theme parties and unforgettable posters and flyers, these showmen and shameless self-promoters make sure that everyone knows where to be the night of their party.

And the hard work has paid off - the duo has been voted Winnipeg's best DJs by the readers of Uptown Magazine every year since 2002.

Co-op and Hunnicutt's creativity has earned them an international reputation, and as a result they have joined a global network of like-minded party-rockin' DJs. The duo has hosted an impressive collection of special guests over the years, including A-Trak, The Rub, Smalltown DJs, Certified Bananas, Skratch Bastid, DJ Day, DJ Numark, Buck 65 and Shout Out Out Out Out.

Lately, Co-op and Hunnicutt been expanding their reach to the rest of Canada and beyond. The boys have been featured multiple times on Much Music's Going Costal, and this past year they've rocked crowds in Minneapolis, Chicago, SXSW in Austin, Pop! Montreal and at The Rub - one of New York City's hottest monthly parties.

DJ Hunnicutt has been DJing since 1991, both in the clubs and as a member of the Winnipeg instrumental outfit, the Hummers. As a member of Farm Fresh, Hunnicutt was also a co-founder of the acclaimed Canadian hip hop label Peanuts & Corn Records. Currently, he is the DJ for all of the acts on the Peanuts & Corn roster, including rappers mcenroe, Pip Skid, John Smith, Birdapres, Gruf and Yy. Since 1994, Hunnicutt has appeared as a performer or producer on over 40 albums, recording with artists as diverse as the Rheostatics and Mood Ruff. He's hosted Born in the Break, a weekly radio program on UMFM, since 1998 and if that wasn't enough, he also DJs for the internationally-acclaimed improv comedy duo Crumbs, playing to sold-out theatres in Europe.

With ten years of experience under his belt, DJ Co-op likes to think of himself as Winnipeg's most versatile DJ. From the early days of throwing underground hip-hop nights and dance parties, to earning a spot in the 2005 Canadian DMC battle finals. His fresh and intelligent mixes have blown up Canadian campus radio charts, and have gotten love online from sites including discobelle.net. Most recently Co-op has been found backing up Epitaph/Big Dada rapper Cadence Weapon. He's also incredibly good at pinball.

THE HOST
John Smith is widely regarded as Winnipeg's most polytropic MC. Respected by all of Hip Hop's fractured factions, Smith is just as comfortable bringing a hot sixteen bars to the club as he is serving up youngsters in street corner ciphers.
