30 Years in 60 Minutes with Timothy Wisdom

Timothy has been DJing for over a decade across the country. An engineer at the decks and on the mic, he is known for his crazy scratching, instant remixes and amusing antics, earning him the title of "one of Vancouver's top party DJs."


With access to Festival Artistic Director, Dugg Simpson's vinyl and CD collection of past performers, Timothy has sorted through hundreds of songs and pieced them together like a musical quilt, premiering at the Festival. The performance was an incredible trip through Festival history!

Dancing Folks celebrate 30 years of real music with DJ/Turntablist wizard Timothy Wisdom, Fiddler Jaron Freeman-Fox, and percussionist Sasha Levin.

For the 30th anniversary of the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, Creative Directors Dugg Simpson and Sarah Kim commissioned DJ Timothy Wisdom to put together a DJ mix of music by artists who have played at the Festival in the past 30 years. Timothy went to work digging through old recordings and remixing snippets of audio to create this historical collage. The result is banjo meets breakbeats, fiddle verses flanger and a 60 minute mashup of various styles of folk from traditional to avant-garde and local to global.

Limited CDs are available at "Drive Organics" on Commercial Drive, Vancouver.
