Slicing up the funkiest selection of breaks and beats for over a decade, Timothy Wisdom is the instigator of fun. He's been blowing up dance floors from Vancouver's Sonar and Club 23 night clubs to the notorious Atomic in Ottawa and even Calio's in St. John's - where he was a headliner and founder of the Atlantic Canada dance movement some 13 years ago. In '91, he was programming drum machines, making samples, scratching records and dropping lyrics in the hip-hop group Heretic. By '95 he was riding the East Coast dance movement playing in Halifax's Marquee Club. By '98 he was gaining international exposure while hosting the show, Beat Fusion, on the most-listened-to Internet radio station in the world. By 2000 Timothy Wisdom had spanned across Canada and was rocking funky house, bass heavy breaks and jungle in Vancouver's underground warehouse scene. Combining the tricks of turntablism into his performance, he went on to win the scratch DJ competition at InQuest in 2003. Aside from his solo gigs, Timothy is also the head DJ for the eight-piece funk circus - All Purpose, and a leading force in the all-turntable band - The Revolutionists. His record crates know no boundaries and wherever he goes, Timothy Wisdom gets the movement moving.
In 2001 Timothy Wisdom created the first digital force feedback turntable, D'Groove, earning him a Masters degree. An engineer at the decks and on the mic, Timothy is a master of his artform, legendary for his crazy scratching, instant remixes, and hilarious antics. He teaches kids the art of turntablism, instilling in them the same passion he has for the craft. Now affiliated with Vancouver's underground Tribal Harmonix Collective, he plays warehouses, outdoor parties, and clubs with equal vigour, sharing the spotlight with locals like Jacob Cino and the Third Eye Tribe, the Wasabi Collective, DJ Czech, Vinyl Ritchie, Mat the Alien (Vancouver), the Ebony & Ivory Sound Crew (Ottawa), DJ Deko-ze, the Telefunk Sound System (Toronto) and DJ Mutiny (UK). He has also performed and headlined at several prominent festivals - Diversity, Apex, Unity, Reconvergence of the Tribes and Intention.
