BODEGA SUNDAYS INVASION
featuring
guest deejay:
PANAMAMI
World music has gone global. As technology shrinks the planet, African,
Caribbean and Latin American music rubs shoulders with electronic
rhythms in clubs from Argentina to Italy, forging the sound of the new
millennium; a universal groove that blends the ancient with the
futuristic and leaves nobody behind. It figures that Los Angeles, maybe
the most diverse city on earth, is home to one of its most progressive
world music scenes. It also makes sense that it’s also home to one of
the scene’s fastest-rising stars: DJ Panamami, a true-blue L.A. native,
world traveler and sound selector with passion to burn.
Hip-hop, calypso, salsa underscored Panamami’s upbringing as a West
Indian Panamanian growing up in Echo Park, Los Angeles. She absorbed the
High Life, Hip Life and Arab-influenced music popular in Ghana and
Niger during her year-long stay in Africa, just as she did the local
sounds of Baltimore, Washington D.C. and the Bay Area, three other
cities she has called home. Panamami’s sets are eclectic and informed;
from Brazilian beats to dancehall, cumbia , hip hop and more, anything
goes when she hits the turntables. Panamami has successfully rocked
diverse crowds all over the US by seamlessly moving between genres,
handpicking both classic and contemporary songs to keep partygoers on
their toes.

guest deejay:
CEE BROWN
Although DJ CeeBrown’s music career started in 1995, his love and
passion for music began as a child studying his uncle, an avid record
collector in the 70s and 80s. With an ear trained from his youth,
CeeBrown’s passion for DJing was ignited by DMC competitions, learning
battle routines performed by greats such as the Beat Junkies, X-man
& ISP. Through steadfast devotion and a natural talent for the art
of performance, Cee Brown quickly acquired turntable skills that would
lead to several West Coast Tours in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s,
and eventually to Europe and Japan, where he solidified himself as an
international presence amongst well-respected artists. Between 2004 and
2008, Cee Brown amassed an impressive body of work, releasing various
mixtapes, becoming bandmates with Belgium luminary DJ Grazzhoppa, &
DJing for The Pharcyde on their critically acclaimed reunion at Rock
the Bells Tour (2008).
After decades of refining his craft, Cee
Brown is now widely recognized as one of the key figures in Dj culture,
both in his hometown of Los Angeles and abroad. To date, his Dj sets
have been featured on a number of popular radio shows across the nation,
including Southern California’s KPFK and New York’s East Village Radio.
Since 2012 he has embarked on several world tours as a Delicious Vinyl
Dj with Bizarre Ride Live, a show celebrating the twenty year release of
the classic album, Bizarre Ride to the Pharcyde. He currently holds a
residency at the famed Nokia Theatre, as well as at Bodega, one of LA’s
fastest growing and most popular parties, which he began in 2009.
With an ever widening musical taste that includes hip hop, Brazilian
beats, samba, soulful house and Dubstep, Cee Brown continues to reinvent
himself, while igniting dance floors across the country and beyond.

The Legacy Continues. Tony Touch A.K.A Tony Toca continues to be a
force to be reckoned with. Tony Touch, an icon in Hip Hop and in the
Urban Hispanic genre plus seasoned player in the game, is a true
innovator and has revolutionized the DJ game over and over. From his
legendary mix tapes, to his skills on the 1’s and 2’s, he has become one
of Hip Hop’s most recognized DJ’s. This C.E.O/Artist/Producer is now
currently working on his 7th commercial release titled “The Piece Maker
3…Return of the 50 MC’s” and is expected to make history once again.
Tony Touch began as a B-Boy during the rap music renaissance era
of the early 80’s. Heavily influenced by pioneers like the Rock Steady
Crew, Grandmaster Flash, Red Alert,”Little” Louie Vega, and Jam Master
Jay, he quickly shifted his interests towards the turntables. Toca is
known for his legendary mix tapes like the original 50 MC’s parts 1, 2
and 3. Included in this series are some of the hottest artist in the
game such as KRS ONE, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Wyklef, M.O.P, Big L,
Mos Def and many more all coming together for one collective piece. This
along with the countless other mix tapes, Tony became recognized in the
streets and industry as the real ‘Mix tape King’
Tony Toca
evolved his mix tapes to record releases. In 2000, Tony released “The
Piece Maker” on Tommy Boy records. This album sold over 400,000 units
worldwide and featured legendary artists like Big Pun, Cypress Hill, Wu
Tang Clan, Busta Rhymes, Eminem, Gang Starr, and much more. The single
“I Wonder Why” featuring Total video featured cameos from John
Leguizamo, Rock Steady and more. Since then, Tony Touch has released the
“Piece Maker 2” which also had an all-star line up with features such
as P. Diddy, Fat Joe, Sean Paul, Snoop Dog and even the legendary Ruben
Blades.
Toca is also known to represent the Latino community to
the fullest. It is the result of growing up with Salsa at home and
Hip-Hop influence in his lifestyle. In 2005 Tony inked a deal with EMI
records and revolutionized the game once more with his Latin album
called “ReggaeTony”. The hit single, “Play that Song” featured Nina Sky
and B- Real of Cypress Hill . The cd had an all star line up including
Tego Calderon, Ivy Queen, Zion y Lennox, N.O.R.E, Voltio, and Soni just
to name a few. The album went GOLD and with that success, EMI records
moved quickly to release ReggaeTony 2 which featured more heavyweight
appearances.
Touch continues to be in demand globally. The
proof is in the passport as he has toured over 30 countries including
Japan, Australia, Puerto Rico, London, France, Greece, Russia, Brazil,
Germany, Columbia, Switzerland, Italy and Cuba. He’s also acted as tour
dj for acts like Cypress Hill, Gurus’s Jazzmatazz, Rock Steady and the
Beatnuts. You also may have caught Tony on TV shows such as “Saturday
Night Live” and “The Dave Chapelle Show” spinning for Eminem. Don’t
forget the radio waves you might have heard him on in New York such as
Hot 97, Power 105, and WBLS. In 2004, Eminem and manager Paul Rosenberg
closed a deal for their own radio station on Sirius XM Satellite called
Shade 45. Tony Touch was quickly recruited to host TOCA TUESDAYS from
8pm to Midnight. TOCA TUESDAYS is also a weekly CLASSIC Hip Hop party
in which TT invites legendarty dj’s to guest spin.
Another
WEEKLY party he sparked was the FUNKBOX where he plays deep house music
with celeb guest dj’s. Both parties have been running over 4 years
strong…. For more info check www.tonytouch.com.
