Understandably there were a lot of parties in Toronto last week and one of the many artists who came through was DJ Spinna who performed a set down at Sunnyside Pavillion on Sunday.

Didn’t make it to this show, but Spinna was here earlier in the year at Revival with the Michael Jackson vs. Prince  Soul Slam where he put down an excellent MJ-leaning set before the King of Pop died and Spinna showed why he is one of the most eclectic accomplished DJs around.

Set aside his SoulSlam parties, his Wonder-full Stevie Wonder events  and his house music sets, DJ Spinna is also an accomplished hip-hop producer,  producing a number of essential tracks for the pioneering indie label Rawkus among others, as well as having his own group the Jigmastas. His latest album Sonic Smash is a return to hip-hop for Spinna and it was released a couple of weeks back. Cityonmyback.com contributor Kevin Jones had the chance to speak to him for Exclaim! magazine.
