Residemented Profiles
Hugh Hectic, a.k.a. Speedy Thunderfingers, a.k.a. The 2 x 12” Numbered Limited Edition Kid, a.k.a. CabanaBoyardee, a.k.a. T.M.W.T.M.P. (a.k.a. “The Man With Too Many Pseudonyms”), once haggled for 286 consecutive hours with a shopkeeper over an autographed copy of an obscure Derrick May remix of Sha-Na-Na’s “Canadian Money”. In the end the shopkeeper paid Hugh $10 to take it off his hands – that’s how good this guys is… Rumours of eccentricity and deviant behaviour abound – the ritual worship of imported Finnish garden gnomes, and the controversial extra three fingers he had implanted on his right hand – claiming that he needed them “for all the dangerous rollin’ and controllin’ I’m about to unleash on y’all”. A truly unqiue dust speck on the microscope lens of life.
This fine specimen is known as Harmonika…ten times more mysterious than Mad Mike Banks (two scarves, a hat, *and* a hoodie? c’mon…) and one third as crazy as Paris The Black Fu (hey, that’s still pretty nuts...), this Toronto enigma is back after a six year hiatus. Harmonika first honed his devastating deck skills by following around a nomadic tribe of turntablists living in the Ural Mountains. He then proceeded to Japan to learn Zen Mix-Fu, but became sidetracked and was forced to work long hours in the knockoff sushi district, cutting cheap faux-crab (it’s whitefish, ya know…) for ten years just to be able to buy a plane ticket back home. We found him digging for discarded styli in a dumpster last week, dusted him off, and now we’re keeping our fingers crossed that he’ll remain upright for the entire evening. Bring a change of footwear and be prepared for the unprepared!
