I’ll be playing the Wale concert in Toronto this evening w/ Sir Lancelot..

The Europe Tour 2011 continued throughout Oslo, Norway and Zurich, Switzerland.. I didn’t have any idea of what to expect from either city as I had never been to any of them before, so as always I arrived with an open mind! The party I was played in Oslo, Norway was the world famous Juicy Party. When I say world famous, I mean it literally.. Other guests that have played this night include Jus Ske, DJ AM, DJ Scratch, Egyptian Lover, Ryan Leslie, Too $hort, Diamond D, DJ Premier, Kid Capri, Biz Markie, Diplo, Nick Catchdubs, Steve Aoki, The Bloody Beedroots, Sammy Bananas, Benzi, Jayceooh, Mick Boogie, Skratch Bastid, Green Lantern, Questlove, Stretch Armstrong, Ross One, Neil Armstrong, The Cool Kids, Camp Lo, Three Six Mafia, and the list goes on..!!  Huge shouts to Patski Love and Chris Stallion at Juicy for bringing me down – it was an honour to rock with you guys and this night is still one of the most fun times I’ve ever had dj’ing in my 7 years of doing this! You can listen to my set from the night via my my podcast, or on soundcloud! Interesting fact about Oslo.. The starting meter on a taxi there is $20 USD.. Yes, just to get in it. Regardless, I still love that city and look forward to being back there soon! Next up was Zurich, Switzerland.. Another beautiful place. The extended family DJ Cruz picked me up from the airport and showed us around the city. Later that night, I rocked at the legendary Kaufleuten! The club is a 20 year old theatre that has been the number one venue in Zurich for two decades – pretty impressive. The vibe and party was great and I’m looking forward to being back there as well! Unfortunately, just like Oslo, I was only in Switzerland for the night.. The next morning, it was off to London, England!

This was a pretty long week..  I was traveling back and forth cross Canada Mon-Thurs to DJ launch events for the new Blackberry Torch. I came back to Toronto on Friday to play Tryst, then headed right back to the airport after Tryst to take 2 flights & 3 boats to a remote island off Vancouver’s coast to play a very interesting corporate event. I came back to Toronto on Sunday & packed my bags, only to leave again on Monday morning to go to NYC for the week.. All in all, it was an eventful week to say the least.. Full details below..!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 27, 2010

Wristpect x Blackberry x Maritz Canada Deliver ‘Torch’

Mobile Industry Awards 2010 ‘Best Manufacturer of the Year’, Research In Motion and their award winning BlackBerry brand teamed up with the 2010 Toronto DJ of the year Wristpect, to launch the brand new and highly anticipated Blackberry Torch device in Canada.  Los Angeles, Toronto, Vancouver & Montreal held the only North American events of their sort.

Alongside Maritz Canada, Blackberry recently held national launch events for their Torch device, entitled the ‘Influencer’ and the ‘Rep’.

The invite-only ‘Influencer’ event attracted over 200 high profile Blackberry users to experience the new Torch device. The Rep event was an extremely successful gathering of 400 enthusiastic sales associates who received Torch devices at each of their respective locations. The soundtrack for these events across the country was provided by DJ Wristpect, who also creatively used the Torch devices to deliver his performance.

“It is always an honour to work with such a powerful and prominent brand” said Wristpect. “As a heavy user & advocate of Blackberry devices for over 6 years now, I feel as though this has been a long time coming. I’ve converted hundreds of friends and colleagues into certified Blackberry addicts over the last several years.. I look forward to further developing a professional relationship with both Blackberry & Maritz, and using the new Torch device in my day to day business!”

Teaming up with major brands is not anything new for this young DJ/Entrepreneur; Wristpect has worked alongside brands such as Google, MTV and Hennessy to Sony, Redbull and Playboy.

Most recently, Wristpect was awarded ‘Toronto DJ of the Year’ at the 2010 Stylus DJ Awards. The year before, he was nominated Canada’s #1 Club DJ, joined Clinton Spark’s ‘Smash Squad DJ’ crew, and played club dates across New York, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Costa Rica, and more.

The Blackberry Torch is currently available through select carriers worldwide. Please contact your wireless provider formore information.
