Inspired by parties for Korean and South Asian youth in Ottawa, Ontario, DJ NDN (Ian Campeau), a nightclub bouncer-turned DJ, became interested in a similar event for Aboriginal youth. After discussing the idea with his friend, Bear Witness (Thomas Ehren Ramon), and fellow disc jockey Dee Jay Frame (Jon Limoges), they began the first night at Ottawa’s Babylon nightclub in 2007, calling it Electric Pow Wow.  Encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive response, the DJs began holding the event on the second weekend of every month — a schedule that was lasted until December 2017.  The parties featured a mixture of traditional powwow recordings from Campeau’s youth, when he performed as a drummer, and mixed them with electronic music rhythms and genres such as dubstep, moombahton and dancehall.  Bear Witness explained that the group was formed because its members wanted to throw parties for their community, and he also pointed out ATCR's political connotation: \"To take over and Indigenize the club space is a really political act [...] As First Nations people everything we do is political.\" (Ehren \"Bear Witness\" Thomas)  https://bit.ly/2JOgrMO","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
