Once again instead of asking one of the artists we’re playing with the same old Q & A you’ve heard a million times, we thought we’d ask if they’d be part of that little something we like to call MIMS Lists. So stepping up to the challenge this time we’ve got none other than Russian born but London raised DJ Vadim! We could go on and on and on about how much we loved Vadim for about 10 years or so but for now we’ll let the little list do the talking…
We let people pick their own themes and for this edition, Vadim proves that he’s a very generous guy, sharing some of his favorite tracks to get the dancefloor started! For people in Montreal, you need to mark down the following date: November 26th @ Le Belmont, Vadim will be town at Poirier’s long running dope night called Karnival. (All the details here)
