THE SPRING UP EP by Shad x Skratch Bastid
The Spring Up is the result of fortunate timing, grapefruit Perrier, a shared high school obsession with Outkast’s Aquemeni, and a couple of sessions at Skratch Bastid‘s Toronto studio this April. The 5 track collection marks a moment in time for the pair; embodying the spirit of Spring and also serving as a sort of prelude to Shad‘s upcoming full-length, to which Skratch Bastid also contributes. The collection features a production assist from DJ Jazzy Jeff, and a turn on the mic from compatriot Cadence Weapon.

SHOOT YOU DOWN by e.d.g.e. x Andre Lukiss

Screening of ‘ The 100 Block’ by Andy Fiore
‘The 100 Block,’ picks up the thread of our 2011 feature ‘10 City Blocks,’ with more hard-hitting, poignant and gritty stories of sex trade work in the Downtown East Side of Vancouver. New tales are told by the women we followed in our first film. We talk to new workers, and they share their often bleak stories with us. Where did they come from? What choices led them to a life on the streets? How do they manage to survive in an often dangerous and brutal environment? The viewer is also allowed to hear the other side of the story, as the men who pay for sex are interviewed. And finally, with valuable insight into the plight of drug addicted sex workers, we are fortunate to feature the opinions and input of Dr. Gabor Mate, noted author and expert on issues of addiction.
Discussion and Q&A by Dr.Gabor Mate
Gabor Maté M.D. is a physician and bestselling author whose books have been published in nearly twenty languages worldwide. Dr. Maté is highly sought after for his expertise on a range of topics, from addiction and attention deficit disorder (ADD) to mind-body wellness, adolescent mental health, and parenting.
