The Pacific Northwest scene as always felt like its own family. Regardless of being Canadian or American we are one community and do our best to support each other. With Seattle being only a 2.5 hour drive from Vancouver, crews like Massive Monkees, Circle of Fire, and Dance Broomz have played an integral part in building and inspiring the Vancouver bboy scene. Massive Monkees have been paving the way in the Northwest for quite some time, and djblesOne has helped build their reputation around the world. He’s become a good friend of ours and happens to be a huge fan of Canada! We have him up spinning at our jams whenever we can and he will have the honours of DJ’ing the first ever CIRCLE PRINZ CANADA for us along side Flipout from Contents Under Pressure. He brings impeccable selection, hype remixes, and never lets the vibe slow down. A true DJ and master of his art.

Growing up from LA to the Bay, Portland and Seattle, blesOne started breakin in 1986 at the age of 6, doing graffiti by 11, and DJ’ing at 14. He keeps his art simple, clean and classic, just like the west coast he represents, but also progressive and fresh. He’s been down with hip hop since day 1 and never leaves his crew hanging. He’s always ready to represent and will fly out from behind the decks when his crew is called out in the ciphers. BlesOne believes that it’s not what a person says but what they do that truly represents who they are. And this is what his current project and lifestyle movement called MASH HALL (est 1995) is all about – it’s for everyone who lives their own way.

MASH HALL is about music, dance, and fresh fashion (clothing coming back fall 2010). MASH HALL is made up of djblesOne, Bruce Illest, Ronnie Voice, Gatsby & Emecks. Lived out through the MASH HALL bboys “THEM TEAM”: Bboy Dial Tone, Junior, Cha Cha, Tim The Pit, Chico, Bboy Thesis, Iron Mike Brysen & Juse Boogy. All the MASH HALL music is produced and mixed entirely by djblesOne and includes classics like “Bles vs. Bboys”, “Massive Monkee Soundtrack”, “Straight Outta West Coast”, “DJ BlesOne Is Dead” & the “Soul Walk” & “Soul Shot” Series. He’s had many great successes over the years, but by far the accomplishment he is most proud of is producing the bboy song “THEM TEAM THEME” off of the DJ BlesOne is Dead album, (buy now from our store) which has become a part of bboy music culture. Track included in the video below:
