Makkin' it

Steve Aoki, what's wrong? You haven't visited Edmonton lately ... oh wait, what's this I see? You'll be DJing the Dim Mak Edmonton Invasion on Saturday, Feb. 20 at EEC ... and you'll be bringing your pal, JFK, a.k.a. Jesse F. Keeler of MSTRKRFT. Whew. Tix are $26.25 and $31.50 plus service charges. On sale: Saturday, Dec. 26 at Ticketmaster.

Their gig comes six days after Paul van Dyk makes his long-awaited debut in Edmonton. (Isn't he the last of the top-tier DJs to find his way here?) The Berlin native will headline Frequency 2010 with Ferry Corsten and Benny Benassi on Sunday, Feb. 14 at the Shaw Conference Centre. Tix are $69.10 and $91.35 plus service charges at Ticketmaster.

(I hope to interview van Dyk ... if only to ask about the correct pronunciation of his last name. I've heard so many different variations ... even from Germans. And, don't worry, I know ... Aoki is ALWAYS here.)
