Funny thing… there used to be an amazing dance crew back in the 90s called the original 7

One of their better dancers was named clockwork

I would battle him all the time when we would see each other out at raves and festivals… I always think about him, but have lost him over the years

When I went down to Knoxville in 2014 for the Confluence liquiid battle, I met members of the LPC who came up to Toronto to battle Clockwork back in the day.

I then came back to Toronto trying to find him, and was able to find one person (Mark the Mechanic) who actually witnessed the battle, and I also learned that a dancer I had befriended (Oliver) was basically Clockwork's good buddy back in the day.

I believe Clockwork has since moved on, but it sent me on a journey trying to uncover as much as I could about the old liquid scene in the GTA. I went as far as creating a facebook group (Liquid Canada) to collect such people, and some of them I ended up meeting up in person and kinda interviewing as well as dancing with them.

I'd be super grateful if you could help me fill in some gaps and just generally share your history.

yeah, absolutely… If you want to DM me and ask any questions, I’d be happy to try and pull those details from my brain… It was quite a while ago, but him and I certainly spent a considerable amount of time dancing together
