WONDER-Full™
Back in 1999, DJ Spinna and Bobbito were asked to spin at a party which paid tribute to the great Stevie Wonder. The duo quickly realized they had a mutual love for Little Stevie's music and, judging from the atmosphere on the dance floor that night, they knew they had a good thing going. A classic East Coast party was born. Wonder-full falls on the weekend of Stevie's May 13 birthday and features handpicked rare and funky covers from Spinna's and Bobbito's vaults. Today, KeiStar Productions spearheads sole production of the now incontestable and world renown WONDER-Full event. And lucky for us, the time has arrived once again for our West Coast ears to hear some songs in the key of life. enjoy this great VIDEO documenting WONDER-FULL SF4, courtesy of imeem.com and vimby video!



DJ SPINNA
Arguably the world's best DJ, Spinna is one of the most in-demand DJs in 3 different genres of music: house (as one of the top producers on the scene, remixing for Atlantic Records, Colombia Records, as well as independent house labels); Hip-Hop (his smash hit "Tribute to Dilla" single with Phonte of Little Brother; member of the Jigmastas; busy as a hip-hop producer his name is on dozens of releases dating back to 1995); and Soul (his "Wonder of Stevie" comp with Bobbito turned a new generation on to the music of Stevie Wonder); his LPs on the BBE label have showcased his amazing soul production touch -- such as his classic remix of Donnie's "Cloud 9" -- his "Wonder-full" party attracted Stevie himself (!!), and he is also the man who created "Soul Slam" -- the Prince vs. Michael Jackson party to end all Prince vs. Michael Jackson parties!). No other DJ (except for perhaps Jazzy Jeff and Kenny Dope) can claim this "Triple Crown" rep amongst the world's DJs -- which is why many consider Spinna to be #1. info: myspace.com/djspinnafrombrooklyn



BOBBITO AKA KOOL BOB LOVE
The toughest question anyone can ask Bobbito Garcia is ”What do you do?” There might be ten answers! He is the Editor In Chief of Bounce: From the Playground b-ball magazine, an accomplished Vibe magazine music columnist, and the critically acclaimed author of “Where’d You Get Those? NYC’s Sneaker Culture 1960-1987” (Testify Books). He is a world-class club DJ (monthly @ Apt). He is the announcer for EA Sports’ “NBA Street” video game and for ESPN 2’s “It’s the Shoes” series. Not done yet. He is a feature film actor (“Prison Song”, “Summer of Sam”) and music consultant (“25th Hour”, "Sneaker Heads"). And for fun, he dances with the world-renowned Rock Steady Crew. Whew! But Bobbito's claim to fame came when he met DJ Stretch Armstrong, and in ’90 the two of them started their Hip Hop radio show at WKCR 89.9 fm. By ’98, the Source Magazine voted them the “Best Hip Hop Radio Show of All Time”. The Stretch Armstrong/Bobbito Show introduced the world to unsigned acts like Nas, Jay Z, Big Pun, Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, and many others that would go on to change the face of Hip Hop. Although Bobbito a.k.a. DJ Cucumberslice is a bonafide Hip Hop legend, any reader of his Vibe column would know that his musical passion goes way beyond just Rap. As a club DJ, crowds worldwide from Sweden to South Africa have celebrated his unique blend of Rare Funk, Latin, Afro-Beat, Soul, Classic Rock, House, and Ballads. He’s opened up concerts for Latin Music legend Eddie Palmieri (5 time Grammy Award Winner), Afro-Funk progenitor Tony Allen (formerly Fela Kuti's drummer), Jazz trumpeter Roy Hargrove, Jazz-Funk legend Roy Ayers, and Soul singer D'Angelo. Bobbito is a true renaissance man, a walking example of how it is possible to love what you do and pursue it without compromise. info: myspace.com/bobbitogarcia

STEVIE WONDER
Born Steveland Morriss on May 13th, 1950 in Saginaw, Michigan. At the age of 7, despite his blindness he learned piano, drums and harmonica. By 1954 his family moved to Detroit, where he began singing gospel and also became heavily influenced by Ray Charles and Sam Cooke. In 1961, Motown records released his first single "Fingertips" which was produced by Clarence Paul, Stevie's first mentor at Motown & the man who gave him the "Wonder" title. He continued to record hit after hit for Motown eventually establishing himself as a genius producer in his own right. Stevie continues to perform and record to this day blessing us with his innervisions
