We are bringing some people out of the woodwork for this little baby. We've got a little bit of everything to hopefully please every single one of you! All these performers will have you dancing from the moment the sun disappears until the break of dawn.

Walkingstick - Jungle/reggae jungle/hip-hop
[San Fransisco, CA]
Five years after leaving the 'Burgh for San Francisco... After hundreds of thousands of air miles logged... Walkingstick makes his return!

From 1998 to about 2005 Walkingstick was a very common name to see on a flyer in the Pittsburgh/Cleveland region. He was known for his oldskool, sample heavy, jungle style, often mixing in hip hop or various tracks from around the globe, anything to make it fun for the audience. He was also one of the founders of Total Xperience Productions, known for throwing memorable events such as NO DOZE, HUMBLE, ICEBURGH, GIFTED, HOMEGROWN and many more.

Throughout the years, Walkingstick not only played all throughout the USA but has also made numerous tours to Brazil, played shows in Puerto Rico, Scotland, etc..

After moving to San Francisco, Walkingstick has lead a much more low-key lifestyle, trading the flashing hypnotic lights of clubs and raves for staying home and producing his own tracks. Walkingstick has released one vinyl record every year for the past 5 years, one release on Jungle Riddim Records and four on his own label, Walkingstick World Records. All releases on his label have featured various artists and genres from around the globe, including artists from Russia, Switzerland and the most well-known name in baile funk, Mr. Catra, from Brazil.

So, after 5 years, Walkingstick comes to the 'Burgh, like straight out of a time machine to make a very rare performance featuring loads of Walkingstick original dubplates and other sounds you've never heard but also some classics that will surely keep you moving! Get ready for some junglist, dubplate business!!!
