What’s Good Wednesday!?

June 10, 2009

Skream & Benga

The Headliner: Skream and Benga, Sun. @ Wrongbar

Sunday evening, Toronto will welcome two pioneers of dubstep to Wrongbar, namely, Skream and Benga. Both hailing from the UK, Skream and Benga have helped to shape the development of dubstep during the early 2000′s, seeing it through its most primitive stages. Both have gained notoriety as of late, none more than Skream, by way of his remix of La Roux’s “In For The Kill”.  Sunday’s show will be saturated with the hardest hitting drops known to man, and may not be for those who make use of a pacemaker, or have coronary problems.

The Opener: DJ Tasc, Milano and Bangers & Mash, Fri. @ CiRCA

The weekly edition of CiRCA’s Randomland features local talent, DJ Tasc, joined by Milano and Bangers & Mash. Understandably not as exciting as some of the big-name talent that has frequented Randomland lately– these guys will undoubtedly hold there own. Keep your ear open for DJ Tasc’s original productions, which are available for you to preview on his myspace, right HERE.

Turbo Lag

June 5, 2009

Tiga @ CiRCA

Tonight is the night. Turbo Recordings’ heavyweights– Tiga, Thomas Von Party and Milano are in Toronto, and ready to inject aural dopamine into the ears of everyone willing to listen. CiRCA nightclub’s Randomland has witnessed some top-notch events with some big-name talent, but personally, I don’t think one has been as anticipated as tonight.

If it is musical exclusivity you seek, and you are unable to attend tonight’s event, we recommend that you become close friends with our Twitter feed, where we will be providing real-time updates, and deciphering the most accurate track ID’s. With a Zombie Nation Remixes EP set to drop at the end of the month, and a whole slew of Turbo material yet to see the light of day — it could get ridiculous.

What’s Good Wednesday (v.1)

June 3, 2009

Tiga

In what will become a weekly phenomena at electroTO, we will be providing our loyal following with a “What’s Good Wednesday” segment, exactly like the one you see here. These specific posts will survey the ground-shattering events that are scheduled for the weekend ahead in our wonderful city.  We will then use our best judgment/psychic powers to provide you with the “Headliner”, or the event that you simply cannot miss. This week’s attempt will likely be the easiest edition in our existence, given that the Turbo Recording all-stars are in town. So without further adieu, What’s Good Wednesday!?

The Headliner: Tiga feat. Thomas Von Party and Milano, Fri. @ CiRCA

If this is not one of your most anticipated events of the summer, you need to shift your priorities immediately and make it one. This friday, the golden-boy of Turbo Recordings, Tiga, will descend upon Toronto’s CiRCA nightclub accompanied  by Thomas Von Party and Milano. Forums, Blogs and Viral Videos have all been raving about Tiga’s performance during his world tour. With well-documented exclusive drops such as Proxy’s “8000″ , Brodinski and Noob’s “Peanut Club”, and the Proxy remix of Zombie Nation’s “Shottieville”, the set-list promises to leave you awe-struck.

The Opener (1): Shit La Merde feat. Nasty Nav and Famous Players, Sat. @Wrongbar

If you have any left in the tank after your incredulous Friday night at CiRCA, you could always head down to Queen West on Saturday evening and hit up some local talent at Wrongbar. Shit La Merde hails from the Toronto area, and is coming off a huge gig at Sneaky Dee’s on May the 29th that apparently was out of control. He will certainly put on quite a show for his home-town fans.

The Opener (2): John Roman feat. Golden Gloves, Fri. @StrangeLove

The electroTO favorite, and London (Ontario) native, John Roman will be lurking on College street Friday night, at no other venue than StrangeLove. With a growing assortment of original productions, there is a very good chance you’ll be exposed to exclusive material. Roman is joined by another local tandem, namely, Golden Gloves who we’ve seen open for both MSTRKRFT and Felix Cartal. This will be a solid alterntive for your Friday evening if you have something against CiRCA.

What better way to kick off your weekend than by sharing your Thursday evening with one of Toronto’s most talented up-and-coming DJ’s– Meech. Equipped with his widely acclaimed smasher “Bottom of the Fourth”, Meech has shown a knack for dominating crowds across Southern Ontario. Fresh off a series of gigs in So-Cal, Meech will certainly have a couple new tricks to share with the StrangeLove faithful.

Faxing Berlin

May 29, 2009

Moderat

Simply put, Moderat = Modeselektor + Apparat. However, if you dig a little deeper, you will come to know that Moderat is composed of three Berlin-born house music moguls, namely, Gernot Bronsert & Sebastian Szary (Modeselektor) as well as Sascha Ring (Apparat). This German trio will bring their distinct- experimental if you will- sound to Toronto’s CiRCA nightclub tonight. The occasion marks their second last North American tour stop, celebrating their self-titled album “Moderat”, which dropped in late April under the BPitch Control label.

After listening to their album, I’m not 100% sure what to expect as far as a set-list goes for this evening, but one could certainly assume that German house will be served up early and often. Here’s a sample of their work in all its 320kbps glory. The track is called “A New Error”, which features a Sigur Ros -esque buzz, amounting to an unavoidable uplifting effect on everyone in its aural radius.

Moderat- A New Error
