Commodore Ballroom is a renowned music venue, dance floor and nightclub located in Vancouver, British Columbia. The building was built in the Art Deco style of the late 1920s. Best known for showcasing special performances, the venue is also famous for its sprung dance floor, whose horsehair lining absorbs, rather than reflecting back, some of the impact of dancers’ feet. This stylish Art Deco Venue hosts world famous concerts and international corporate functions for up to 990 people. With state of the art sound and lighting and onsite catering services, the Commodore Ballroom is located close to all major hotels in the heart of downtown. Talking Heads, Tina Turner, Dire Straits, Dizzy Gillespie, The Beastie Boys, Kiss, Nirvana, The Police, Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre, The Clash, Emmylou Harris and Paul Oakenfold are just a sampling of an unprecedented string of national & international touring acts to have played the Commodore Ballroom.

Cut Chemist has been recording and performing for nearly 30 years. Known as a turntablist, he started his journey into djing at age 11. By the time he was 14 year old, Cut started recording with his friends (including Chali 2na of Jurassic 5) in an inclosed sun patio that his dad converted into a small make-shift recording studio. By age 21, Cut was a founding member of both the rap group Jurassic 5 and the Grammy award winning Latin funk outfit, Ozomatli. His involvement with both groups helped develop a taste for music and rhythms from around the world while keeping his passion for the hip hop tradition. His mix-tapes and remixes became critically acclaimed. His ‘Chemist’ moniker was fully realized with his instrumental, Lesson 6: The Lecture. In the years following, Cut started a series of mix cds with DJ Shadow using all 45s. Brainfreeze, Product Placement and The Hard Sell, the last of which debuted and headlined at the world famous Hollywood Bowl.

Cut’s solo album journey would begin with The Audience is Listening which was released on Warner Bros in 2006. Following his major label stint, he decided to create his own boutique label that would allow him more freedom. Sound Of The Police, Funk Off Mega Mix & his sophomore solo album, Die Cut were his most notable releases. Although these albums may sound very different from one another, they all have a single thing that ties them together - Cut Chemist pushes boundaries on all of them, testing our musical palates while introducing us to obscure musical finds.
