  • Bio

    ...... ...... ..DJ Dalia.. plays a mashup of funk, soul, hip-hop, r&b, house, reggae, retro, pop, nu jazz, bmore, baile funk, electro, broken beat and future boogie — basically whatever's good! Although she plays music from all over the map she is a self proclaimed classic hip-hop junkie! She grew up in the golden era and still plays tribute to that time every month at the classic hip hop night Never Forgive Action. .... Her love of music, especially hip-hop, led her to CHRY 105.5 FM where she hosted and played on the infamous Best Kept Secret radio show. Today she is the official DJ for Shebang! all female breakers and hosts and DJ's at 3 regular monthly parties in Toronto: ..Never Forgive Action.., ..Hip-Hop Karaoke.. and ..Where's D'Angelo.., as well as random nights around the city. She also wrote the hip hop column, On The Downlow in Tribe magazine back in the 90s for over 5 years. Nowadays, she writes freelance for record labels and Exclaim! Magazine. Watch out this b-girl can also bust a move! .. .. ..Quick Links:.. .. ..Never Forgive Action.... ..Hip-Hop Karaoke: Toronto.... ..DJ Spotlight in Now Magazine.... ..Hip-Hop Karaoke in National Post.... ..Hip-Hop Karaoke in Eye Magazine.... ..Hip-Hop Karaoke in the Toronto Star.... ..DJ Spotlight on Dalia in Eye Weekly.... ..Dalia and Venus in Eye Weekly.... ..www.shebangcrew.com.... ..Best Kept Secret Final Party.. .... ..Best Kept Secret.. was the brainchild of Venus (aka Tashish) and Dalia, and was on the airwaves for over 12 years. The show was named after "Best Kept Secret" by Diamond D, and it was a bit of a best kept secret as the gals were one of the few shows featuring females mixing hip hop and breaks. Over the years the program moved into different time slots and directions, with Venus/Tashish heading to Montreal and Andrew Masuda taking over DJ'ing and co-hosting. The show was a mash of hip hop, funk, soul, beats, breaks, indie rock, house, broken beat, reggae, nu jazz and everything in between. Also featured on the show were interviews with local and international artists, and guest DJ's. On Wednesday July 19th, 2006, Andrew, Dalia and Tashish came back together with local artists/DJ's, friends and fam to air the final broadcast of the Best Kept Secret. Next phase y'all!
