Keeping It Funky From Vancouver And Beyond
Having been DJing as long as I can remember, there’s two things that have really continued to hold my interest, ass shaking and low-end theory.
Discovery!
Inspired by Canadian kitchen parties, acoustic instrumentations and music collectives while growing up in North Bay and later in Guelph, Ontario, Paula moved to Warsaw to study and a few years later met Karol.

The term “Enya Rap” comes via the Desparrame blog which totally nails it all of the time.
