The good people at @properywg have their next event taking place this Friday Jan 17th at @sidestagewpg. The featured guest is Bambz, a local legend of sorts from Winnipeg. Bambz was involved in throwing some of the most exciting raves and club nights in the city back in the late 90`s and early 2000`s. He was also the owner of Nyce records, Winnipeg`s most noteworthy electronic music record store and rave gathering place back in the day. He`ll be bringing his very deep crate of garage and house music to share for this special occasion.
The other special guest is Mother Mary from Vancouver, she played at MEME in 2024 as part of Buff N Pretty. Mother Mary brings the finest selection of beats and dancefloor worthy shakers to her sets.
Local all-stars Mark Grimace and elle fast will be sure to set the stage perfectly for this winning evening of music and dancing 🔊🏆🔊
