Known for their genre-defying mix tapes and four-turntable performances, DJs Wood ‘n’ Soo have proven time and again their ability to rock just about any crowd that’s put before them.

Since joining forces in 2004 they have attained a world wide cult following and shared the stage with an impressive list of international talents, including DJ Z-Trip, Bassnectar, Afrika Bambaataa, Q-Bert, DJ NuMark, Stanton, Warriors, Shy FX, Zion I, South Rakkas Crew and many more.

On the strength of their diverse and bass heavy 2×4 sets, they have rocked clubs across the country and become mainstays of Vancouver’s night life scene.
Wood ‘n’ Soo are seasoned crate diggers, raised in the age of vinyl LPs and 12” singles. The onset of the digital era has done nothing to diminish their hunger for fresh new sounds.

While rocking the party remains first priority, the duo refuse to be pigeonholed into any particular genre or style of DJing. Hip hop, Funk, Disco & Reggae form the roots of their sound, while their sets branch out to include an array of styles from past to present.

Many of today’s digital jocks are content to please crowds with only the most tried and true chart toppers but Wood ‘n’ Soo are relentless taste makers, mixing future classics and exclusive bangers into every set.

Whether individually or as a team, these two vets bring the ruckus wherever they go.
