The Common keeps on constantly bringing more and more great DJ’s to the space and last night was no different! DJ Pump & DJ Hedspin from EH! Team DJ’s were spinning classics all night long… brining everyone to the dance floor! As always a great crowd/atomosphere that comes along side with The Common. From seeing new & old faces everytime I go there is always refreshing to see and be around. It is awesome to see that Edmonton is finally getting to realize The Common for what it is… do not sleep on anymore events people!

The past friday was Dan a.k.a. Danskee first solo show which was held at The Common… honestly Dan is such a talented artist that it’s unbelievable how he does his work. If you missed out on the first night of his work, do go to The Common to check out these art pieces yourself during Wednesdays to Saturdays because it is well worth it! For now here are some photos I took on that night…

Dan Chmielewski aka Danskee1 & 1/2 of Haven will be having his own art show at The Common on March 12, 2010. He will have several art pieces that under hush hush right now until reveal day. Pretty stoked to see what Dan has in store because I have not seen his work for awhile now…

Come out and support local art!

This week is a pretty good weekend for The Common. On Thursday they will be hosting along side with Foosh the Gentle Fawn Spring 2010 Fashion Show that will start right at 9pm with DJ $hortee, DJ Sonny Grimezz, & Allout DJ’s spinning the after party. On Friday it’s the Monthly Golden Era Hip-Hop Night that is always PACKED & always FUN with the cool selections from DJ Sonny Grimezz & Allout DJ’s. This weekend is not one to miss! COME EARLY TO NOT BE DISAPPOINTED due to the small capacity…

The Common hosted Hifi club’s own poster illustrator, Josh Ruck, who has designed over 450 posters for Bands, DJ’s, and MC’s. He is one talented artist from his penmanship and ideas he has for each of the posters. Along side with his artwork for show on the walls, Pete 1/2 of Smalltown DJ’s was spinning all nigh long with Allout DJ’s, Nik 7, and DJ Stereobait. If you missed out on seeing the posters, you can purchase the book of all his illustrations for HiFi at Foosh for $40. ENJOY the photos!

Yesterday was an eventful night at the shop…well not really…it was hella slow! When that happens I always find an excuse to take photos, watch vids on my Macbook, and read magazines. Thankfully Jason and his daughter, Gemma, stop by for a visit and entertained me and Dane for the rest of the night. After work I headed to The Common for some drinks & food with Sammi (SammiSushi) and Justine (Justeezy) while listening to some good old hip-hop for Eazy Duz It Thursdays with DJ Sonny Grimezz & DJ Twist. Enjoy the photos!

December 27th at The Common marks the last Golden Era Hip-Hop for this year…AND it went off with a BOOM! Packed house all night long, everyone enjoying every single tune that was spun, and soo many Filipinos in the bar that I thought I was in the Philippines! All the regulars to this night were out and new faces joining that night which was refreshing to see more people enjoying hip-hop in the city. I still can not believe how jam packed it was for a Monday night…BUT I knew that no matter what night this party landed on, it would be packed no matter what. I swear this night gets bigger and bigger each show…can not wait till the new year for more Golden Era Hip-Hop nights at The Common! ENJOY the photos:
