Mike Grimes and Pete Emes are those dudes known as Smalltown DJs. Based in Calgary, AB - they currently (since 1999) run a weekly known as Hai
Karate. Hai Karate and the Smalltown DJs were born out of the ashes of old
style block parties, punk rock shows at community halls and the early
nineties rave scene. Hanging with these dudes on any given night you will hear funk, pop, dancehall, rock, hip hop, house, breaks, club and bmore. Their production style reflects this "everything under the sink" approach to music as well. No pretension allowed - only party and dance. The duo has released several mix cds and vinyl 12"s over the past few years
- garnering attention and accolades from the far reaches of the globe.  They
were featured on national television in April 2006 - on Much Music's Going
Coastal.  They have also tour North America, Europe and Asia - promoting their unique sound to partygoers worldwide. Circa Footwear has been sponsoring Smalltown's endeavors since
2000, helping to make sure they always look good. 
Three Hai Karate All-star remix Eps have been released in 06/07 to celebrate the night's sixth anniversary. Over the past six years the Smalltown Djs have hosted and played alongside such artists as Afrika Bambaataa, Lateef, Lyrics
Born, Dj Assault, Jeru the Damaja, Tommie Sunshine, Chromeo, Mike Relm,
Cosmo Baker and Dj Ayres, ATrak, Low Budget, Diplo, James Lavelle, Kool
Keith, Z-trip and Dj Radar, Fort Knox Five, and Maseo from De la Soul among
many others. They also toured with the Steve-O from Jackass to promote his Out on Bail DVD. The Smalltown Djs will be touring in 2007 to promote the release of the Hai Karate Allstars Remix Series and their forthcoming album
on Bigfoot Records. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
