Mixing with DJ Justin Kanoya

It was a proud moment for me. I’ve had the privilege to DJ some cool events for Lululemon, including a store opening in Palm Springs and the  Lululemon San Diego 10k kick off event. ⁠

But DJing just one element of the brand's annual Seawheeze (half marathon) weekend in Vancouver was on my bucket list. Now I can check that off. ⁠

This particular event, was the exclusive shopping experience for the runners, the Seawheeze Store.⁠

Aside from Black Friday, this has to be the single biggest shopping day for Lululemon. It’s arguably the most important “store” they set-up for the year . . . And I got to set the tone.

I did a four-hour set, but I picked some of the best songs to create this 60-minute mix. 

I can't wait to see what experience will top this!⁠

A collection of funk tracks from Chromeo to Lakeside.

A midtempo collection of pop and hip hop classics. Your pace is 105 BPM, from Vanessa Carlton to Lizzo.

This is a 30-minute, 126 BPM mix perfect for a spin or HITT class. Enjoy hits from Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Black Eyed Peas and even AC/DC. 

A 40ish minute mix from Ariana Grande to Ace of Base.

An open format mix crossing all genres, from Stevie Wonder to Kacey Musgraves. 

A quick mix put together for a Sound Off audition that includes live blends, simple scratches and layering breakbeats and samples.

Setlist:
Queen - Fat Bottom Girls
DJ Kool vs Notorious B.I.G. vs Drake - Hypnotize Motto

Music equals memories. This session of On My Mind takes you on a journey of the songs that DJ Justin Kanoya has strong memories of. From his first sound check songs, to memorable songs he has played at weddings, there's a song and story with each one. 

This is one of those mixes that makes you bounce your head and groove in your seat. Perfect for that 25 minute “pick me up” when you get back to your desk after lunch, or need something better to listen to in your car.

A collection of some seriously smooth and funky 70s joints.
