Kevin Howes a.k.a. Sipreano is master of many trades: writing (have you seen the Jamaica to Toronto liner notes), musical knowledge (the man is a steel trap of information), and of course, of course, knocking down the house with a monster DJ set of some of the rarest, most untapped cuts.
Well, Sipreano is gearing up to bring down the house again this weekend and he wanted us to pass along the information. So, looksie down below, ’cause that’s where the information is. Feel lucky Canada, you’ve got a real treasure in your midst:

*With a candlelight night recitation by Robert Dayton, Junior
To Hurting People,
Since we are struggling with pain, even at this moment, we have first hand knowledge of what it is like to experience the silence of God. Sometimes the immense loneliness of pain-whether physical, mental or emotional-is completely overwhelming!
As you listen to us spin, let the music wash over your brokenness as great healing waves of God’s merciful love until you hear the music once again.
From our hearts to yours,
Sipreano and D.J. Body Beautiful
Christened by the son of thunder, Sipreano can rock a party with folk songs. Born in the east and raised in the west, he roams our fair country to uncover its little-known sound heritage. He is a curator of sounds, archival materials, and previously undocumented history, as showcased in Light in the Attic Records’ six album Jamaica-Toronto reissue series (“Wayne McGhie & the Sounds of Joy”, “Jamaica to Toronto”, “Noel Ellis”, Jackie Mittoo-”Wishbone”, “Summer Records Anthology”, and “Earth Roots & Water’s “Innocent Youths”), Sixto Rodriguez’ “Cold Fact” and “Coming From Reality”, The Monks’ “Black Monk Time”, and most recently, Canadian composer-arranger Doug Randle’s “Songs for the New Industrial State (CBC, 1970). MOODS will see Sipreano reach deep into his oddball crates to project serious atmospherics, vibes, and provide an emotional deep feeling soundtrack to the week’s final comedown.
D.J. Body Beautiful is Robert Dayton, a personality of living flesh and blood. Robert regularly contributes illustrations, features, obits, and quips to Roctober, Cinema Sewer, Free Drawings, Broken Pencil, and $2 Comes With Mix Tape, as well as the books “Lost In The Grooves: Scram’s Capricious Guide to the Music You Missed” and “Nog A Dod: Prehistoric Canadian Psychedooolia.” And as an artist he exhibits fully. Robert is a performer and songwriter with: hot new Toronto band WET DIRT; melodramatic glitter rock act Hallmark; defunct acid downer folk trio Points Gray; legendary longtime lucidly malleable act July Fourth Toilet; modern song and dance duo Canned Hamm. As an actor Robert Dayton starred in the feature “Male Fantasy” , as ‘theatre teacher’ in a shelved Hillshire Farms commercial, and appears in the upcoming “Leslie, My Name Is Evil”. Due to his candour he has been a Master of Ceremonies as himself and as other bizarre personae. As D.J. Body Beautiful he spins at MUSK. But at MOODS he will console you.
NO COVER

His boutique mix one day got the place in my favorite mixes collection. It’s totally awesome!
