Hey Guys Hey!

It's literally crunch time and we are exactly one week away till SXSW! We're stoked, you're stoked, we're all stoked!

Last week we let you know where we would be and this week we're sending out a little reminder for you to check out our schedule featuring Smalltown DJs, U-Tern, Smalltown Romeo and Telephoned. Whew! Be sure to RSVP! Lets get dancing!

Yesterday began the official celebration for International Womens Day and we'd like to give a special shout out to all the ladies on our roster: Mama Miche and DJ Kenzie of Bitchin Beats, Jess Jubilee; Brooklyn and Stirling Bass Sweetheart and of course Maggy Horn of Telephoned! We appreciate you ladies.

Also a big shout out to our female supporters and fans who keep up with us virtually and on the dancefloor! We appreciate you!

It's madness at the moment in and around Stirling town as you can imagine but we've got some sweet updates for you. First off news from Ali B and Nick Thayer who's track "N E Way" is making moves on Beatport Funk Charts and is currently sitting at #2 on the Hip Hop Charts.

Speaking of Hip Hop, We'd like to take a minute to remember the greatest big poppa of all time, Notorious BIG who passed away 14 years ago! RIP BIGGY! We miss you!

So what else has been happening? This week Jubilee gets down and sassy with online zine The Culture of Me. Check out what she has to say about a few of her favourite things.

Did you know Jubilee is also one half of Bassanovva? The new side project from Grahmzilla. Here's a favourite track of theirs for you to listen to:

We can't wait for these two to start touring and rocking dancefloors everywhere!

Dearest Vancouver, yes, it's true, long time resident U-TERN will be heading over to LA next month, but do not fear, you can still catch U-TERN at the Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs show March 14 at Venue.

Hey Guys,

Chilli out there hey!? After another fabulous weekend we're back at it again in our woolly socks armed with warm cups of tea. Another snow storm is upon us and we're back to dancing for the Sun with free music in tow for you all.

This weekend in Calgary, Tittsworth visited and raved the Hifi Club OUT!!! The dancers were dancing and the room was packed full of shuffling feet and smiling faces. We were happy, he was happy, it was all really lovely! We'd also like to wish Tittsworth a special Stirling Happy Birthday and we can't wait get down and durty with the beats again.

This weekend the team were dropping blissful sounds from the east to the west, the north and the south with Small Town DJs in Edmonton Friday and Kelowna Saturday. U-Tern in Victoria Friday and Seattle Saturday at the Trashed One Year Anniversary, Audit was in Victoria Friday and Bitchin are taking things to the next level at The Chandelier room in Vegas till the 8th.

Another week of fresh events are in line, be sure to check out Stirling Facebook Page for updates on the best of the best dance parties. Now for some music.

We've had to dig deep for the track of the day "Contagious" from Nick Thayer way down under in Australia, who collaborated with his buddy Micah from Perth. It's a jem of a dancetrack that has just been made available for download. Get it while it's hot.

In the meantime we hope you all have a wonderful week and we'll catch up soon.

Love always Team Stirling
