DJs NDN, Frame and Bear Witness founded the ELECTRIC POW WOW in 2008, later adding two-time Canadian DMC Champ DJ Shub to the crew. These veterans of the Ottawa music scene come together to create an eclectic sound incorporating hip hop, dance hall, electronica, and their own mash-up of club and Pow Wow music. For this special edition of Electric Pow Wow, they welcome some special prairie guests.
