In addition to spinning the hottest dancefloor jams all night (including exclusive remixes and edits from the new mixtape), Co-op and Hunnicutt have enlisted some Winnipeg "local celebrities" to join them on the decks!

Radio host Ace Burpee, journalist Bartley Kives and singer/songwriter John K. Samson will all be taking turns on the decks. Although all of the guests are music enthusiasts, none has ever played selector in a live club setting before. 

"We're always looking for a way to get out of working, and these suckers are playing for free!" said Co-op, who was quickly interrupted by Hunnicutt.

"What he means is we're always looking for ways to make our parties exciting both for our fans and for ourselves! Plus, we're donating the proceeds from this event to a local drop-in centre, Resource Assistance for Youth (RaY)."

RaY is a non-profit street-level agency working with street-entrenched and homeless youth up to the age of 29.  RaY is non-judgmental and non-partisan, employing a harm reduction approach to all interactions with youth in need.

Co-op and Hunnicutt got the idea for having celebrity guest DJs after having rapper/radio host Buck 65 aka Rich Terfry play with them for a New Year's Eve party a few years back.

"It was so cool to see what Rich was bringing to the crowd - given his diverse musical background," said Hunnicutt, "and I can't wait to see what Ace, Bartley and John are going to play!".
