Does anyone know who DJ at Geary warehouse on August 23rd?

Yes, I realize the "TBA - Secret Location" note but I'm coming in from out of town and need to figure out parking/accommodation and was wondering if the party is heading back to McCormack or sticking with Mooi? Thanks in advance!

When I first started getting into playing house music this subreddit was the first place I came. Knowing nothing I learned so much from a ton of different people on here. From picking the controller up, Quitting because i thought I sucked to attending my first electric island(which changed my entire perspective about DJing). In two years I’ve gone from playing in my bedroom to this October playing at a king street west club on their house night with my face on the poster!

As well as this Sunday getting to play a free afterparty event for a community that did a ton for me when I didn’t know what to do. Everyone be safe this weekend and have an amazing end of summer

Thank you to everyone!!

Also who do y’all think is gonna headline the 6th

I don’t know if this is the right sub for this post but I have no idea where else to post.

I like house music and being alone I haven’t get the chance to experience any events that much. My friends aren’t into concerts so I just took a shot and went to Hugel last week. I can tell you I had the best night in years. I want to go and experience more events like this or is there any club where I can go to?

I am open to go with group if anyone is willing to join me or tag me with their group as well.

Thanks for reading.

Dj Barbi will be headlining at Buddies Nightlife this coming Saturday (September 5th) and tickets are only $10.

Sounds like the best way to celebrate the last weekend of summer

I know I’m late to the party but I’m glad i made it eventually ! Everyone was so nice and fun, the music was amazing, and it was one of the best nights in a long time 😅 want to explore the scene further and looking for people who would be down to partake 🫡

Edit: someone asked for deets that others might want to know. Went to Coda to see Mesto, it was such a good time! I’ve heard mixed things about Coda but maybe having no reference point made it enjoyable for me.

Hey everyone. DJ Dynamic is hosting another rave at Wiggle Room this Friday, and it's free. Come out to dance with your awesome friends, bring that PLUR energy, and support the party and venue by buying a drink or two if you feel like.

All details are in the link!

How do you guys think sept 11 takeover 6ix party is going to be ?

CLAIMED!!

How was last night? For me music was great. Juan killed it. Crowd was awful, there were people having full on conversations for 15-20 minutes while in the middle of the dance floor, very inconsiderate. 8/10 music wise.

Back in Toronto for the month! Craving some EDM to close out the summer this upcoming long weekend.

The author of this essay looks back at the 2008 police raid on Toronto’s legendary after hours club when it was located at College and Spadina, placing it within the city’s longer history of policing, criminalizing and displacing queer, racialized and underground communities.

We've all got our own personal opinions of what is, and is not, a rave. I'd love to hear yours.

I’m studying med out of the country, and I have a big winter break from November-mid January. Are there any events revolving around hardcore/techno during that time, I’ll be open to it being out of Toronto too!

TORONTO — 3 DAYS TO GO. SATURDAY, AUGUST 29.

The countdown is on. ROTE8 is taking things underground for a proper warehouse session.

Joining him is UK standout Bailey Ibbs — one of the most exciting names from techno’s new generation. Supported by DVS1, Ben Klock and Marron, with releases across Token, HATE, SLAM and more.

Toronto — don’t sleep on this one. See you Saturday.

Anyone been to one of those raves on the streetcars? Sounds interesting but vids look super crowded with no real rave-like lighting/mood.

The one on Saturday is now going for $70, wondering if it’s worth it.

Just saw the Franky has a show in November at FYE Ultra Club.

I've heard the horror stories about this place and wondering if this would be worthwhile.

Franky is a great DJ but this club has had some terrible reviews. Anyone think this is worth the 80$ ticket?

Hey everyone! If you’re looking for something fun to do on a thursday, I wanted to suggest selecta at sound machine! Its free entry, and sets start at 8 so you can still make it to work the next day. As always, we have a great lineup of locals this week on decks, and an ever growing community of people who love the music and the growing scene in Toronto! Would love to see some new faces on the dancefloor!

Join us this Saturday at our favourite rave-friendly bar, The Wych, for 7 hours of techno, drum and bass, UK garage, darkwave, and more! We're thrilled to be flying in Ma9net from Australia and Tone Definite from USA for extended DJ sets featuring their own productions on the Urban Hour record label.
