VANCOUVER: LATEST CYCLE-CHIC VIDEO
While we’re waiting for our own bike-share, here’s how Vancouverites do it – or in this case, DJ and music-maker Shawn Henderson, a.k.a. BIKES, not only because of his name (although, maybe that was part of it), but also because he’s a rad guy.
.
Shawn grew up in Barrie, Ontario, and hopped on a train to Vancouver in 2005. He has been producing music since the age of 19, and DJing since 2010. He’s based out of the ACME building in Vancouver’s DTES, but has toured as far as South Africa. House music is his rhythm of choice.
.
Here’s a summer mixtape Shawn has made for your enjoyment.
