They wise up, step out of the van, take their hard-earned musical lessons and become one of Vancouver's premier DJs.
After a brief stop at the well-respected Selkirk College music program and residency at Club Utopia in Nelson BC in the early 2000s. Darren Woodhead took his penchant for getting people on the dance floor, his DIY punk rock ethic and his first-hand experience in song-writing and gigging and fused it together to becomeWoodhead. Now a resident DJ at the Lotus Lounge's Signal Saturday, where he spins Fidget, Tech House, Indie Electro and Nudisco, Woodhead's climb to the top of Vancouver's dj scene started in dark East Van warehouses and all night dance parties. The release of his Body Language mix cds 1-3, where he fused hip-hop, house and electro, gained him exposure in Vancouver's club scene.
