@djteddmusic threw down a track for my future album release that’s conceptually insane and what he did was super dope. It’s a concept I have kept in my mind for afew decades and what I learned later was that DJ Ted and @emotionz have had this idea cross their minds too at some point in life. So we are bringing something together as a true shared vision. This next Myles album is cooking up to be some major heat! by @emotionz

TONIGHT, WE TURN THE SHOP INTO A VENUE. 🎤

Headlining our Grand Opening Friday Night is Vancouver’s @EMOTIONZ, and if you only know the name, here’s what you need to know:

Artist. Producer. DJ. Beatboxer. Educator. And more than 3,000 live performances deep.

Emotionz has spent 25 years in the West Coast music scene, performing across 30 countries and recording with artists including DJ Quik, Macklemore, Souls of Mischief and Bob Rock.

He’s earned gold and platinum records for his work with Dani and Lizzy, teaches at the Sarah McLachlan School of Music, and in 2026 dropped his new full-length album Imagination Is a Hell of a Drug alongside the party single Bionic and a stack of new collaborations.

And TONIGHT, he’s playing inside our new shop in Kelowna.

Not a nightclub.
Not an arena.
A syrup shop.

Because apparently this is what we do now.

SEE YOU TONIGHT!
