The new podcast comes from Jai Field: a BC boy through and through. Born and raised on the West coast, he was a major contributor to the Okanagan DJ scene for the early part of the century until Design School brought him back to his hometown of Vancouver, where he now lives and works. Whether it has been organizing events, promoting DJs, being a judge for the DMC competition, working on flyer designs and CD covers, or just mixing records, Jai has always had an uncanny love for hip-hop, and DJ culture. Classically trained in many instruments, music is a communication tool for Jai which bridges gaps in age, race, creed, and culture; a way for him to communicate things that can’t be expressed accurately in words or images. However, as a Designer & Web Developer, he does spend his week in the visual realm mixing graphical elements, and piecing together bits of code to bring visions to reality. He brings the same hunger for creative output to his music, and while his mixes cut wildly over genres and influences, that’s just the way it’s supposed to be. He tends to approach it all like some rogue mad scientist; cutting and sewing pieces from various mis-matched sources until life is breathed in to the newly created abomination, …and then the fun can begin.

This mix, Leisure Rules, is a Nu-funk-laden romp through summer weather, beaches, and beautiful people. Turn it up, ‘cause if you’re not bobbin’ your head, your neck must be broken, and that must REALLY suck for you. Need a straw to drink that beer? HA! Check out his laboratory at http://JaiField.ca
