DJ IV AKA Brian Pelrine calls in from the London, Ontario stop of Classified’s national tour. While he waits to get on a new band bus, he discusses the things he thinks contributed to his nearly annual win as Halifax’s Best DJ, primarily The Cut, the hip hop podcast he hosts with Catfish. Twenty episodes in, it’s featured Classified, Quake Matthews, Shevy Price and Jo Run. “The one with Jo Run is amazing—he breaks down the whole history of where Halifax hip hop started.” When not podcasting or DJing for Class—expect a big show in the new year—IV has monthly nights at Lion & Bright and Terri’s Place in Lower Sackville. “I would love to thank the readers again for the continued support,” says Pelrine. “Our city is full of talented DJs and artists and it means the world to me.”
