As if it’s not enough for Team Canada to win Gold (x14), our favorite son K-OS helped close the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics!  First time a Hip Hop artist has performed at an Olympic ceremony…. and no better person to represent to the world than Kheaven and crew.  You can read more about it straight from the source at Flavorpill.  For those in NYC and LA, he’s playing two shows this week prior to jetting off with Drizzy Drake for the “Away From Home” tour (destined to be epic).

Don’t wait on it….

Our very own alt/pop/country darling Lindi Ortega is featured alongside Thom Yorke, MIA, and others as part of Major Lazer’s new release “Lazers Never Die” – a collaborative project of producers Diplo and Switch.  It’s pretty rad to be featured alongside these amazing artists.  No doubt hipster boys (and girls) all around the world will fall in love with her sultry soulful voice….. we did long ago.

Check the full story through NME.

“Lazers Never Die” releases sometime in April (still TBD).

Lindi is in the studio now writing and recording gems for her debut record – we’re excited to share it with the world this year!

To all our American friends, we are happy to announce that K-OS will be joining fellow Canadian Drake on his “Away From Home Tour”.  The madness starts April 6th in Charleston, IL and will be stopping at colleges accross the US.  K-OS is also playing two select solo dates next month in New York City (March 2nd at Le Poisson Rouge) and Los Angeles (March 4th at The Roxy).

Khv is making noise in the US as lead-in to the physical release of his critically accliamned Yes! album.  His video’s for “4,3,2,1” and “I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman” are currently spinning on MTVU and MTV2’s Subterranean.  He will also be co-hosting  a special “Black History Month” episode of BET’s “The Deal”.  For the uninitiated, this album is truely special.  We are happy to be helping Kheaven share it with the world.  Aside from stand-out solo tracks, the album also features collaborations from fellow Last Gang alum Emily Haines (Metric) and Murray Lightburn of The Dears.

Lexi, French and Nadia are hosting a party at Toronto’s Legendary Horseshoe Tavern to mark the release of their new album, “Gambling With God“.

The first 25 Magneta fans in attendance on Friday will recieve a special suprise from the band – not sure what yet (they haven’t even told us), but it will be cool!  Just tell the ticket person you are there to see Magneta.  Easy!

SPIN Earth hooked up with Ohbijou in Toronto recently for an In-turn session.  As always, the music is sublime and beautifull.  Check it out here.
