The Thanksgiving edition of What’s Good Wednesday gives us plenty to be thankful for in the world of electronic music. Peep the top-notch event list below, and be sure to enjoy the fruits of electronic labour, in addition to the heaps of turkey and stuffing. Much Love.
The Headliner: Crookers & Major Lazer — Sunday @ Guvernment
On my 13th birthday, my folks were gracious enough to plan a surprise party for me, where they invited a whole group of my closest friends, and we jammed out until about 11:30pm. When the Guvernment Nightclub turns 13 this upcoming Sunday, they too will invite their closest friends (all 5000 of them), and jam out — to both the Crookers, and Major Lazer — arguably the two biggest DJ duos in dance music today. This is an absolutely world class bill, an opportunity to see two of the most skilled tandems in the industry, and would be well worth the relatively steep investment.

The Opener: In Flagranti — Friday @ The Social
In a huge event that flew somewhat under the radar, The Social welcomes the New York City duo, In Flagranti, a personal favorite of us here at electroTO. Thanks to Night Track & Undiscovery for this — “The duo have recorded, remixed and edited some of the most fucked-up, amazing dance releases on their own Codek Records label, as well as DFA, Rong, Kitsune, RVNG, Mindless Boogie, and the list goes on and on. In Flagranti have just released their second album Brash & Vulgar which can only be described as an irreverent balance of disco, sex, dirt, distortion and tounge-in-cheek humor, all wrapped up in a gritty 70’s aesthetic.” — This is going to be massive.

The Opener: Rusko w/ Bombaman & More — Friday @ The Mod Club
Christopher Mercer aka Rusko, a production ace for Mad Decent, Downtown, Fabric, among many others will be featured in the latest installment of Arcade Friday’s at The Mod Club. Rusko has been described as, “Dr Dre, Timbaland and Switch all rolled into one with a serious overdose of bass.” Boom. Add to this, that there will be an afterparty at the Factory Loft, hosted by our good friends at The Factory — prepare to get slapped in the face with bass.

The Opener: Meech w/ Golden Gloves, Bordello & More — Sat. @ The Social
Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Mee-eeeech. Happy Birthday to you. How better to celebrate the day of birth of Mr. Michel Fournier, than by reaching The Social, and checking out some of the city’s finest talent. With our homies Bordello, Golden Gloves, and the man himself, all set to hit the decks — this one will get outta control in a hurry. Get there early to witness all the action.

The Opener: Barletta — Saturday @ Wrongbar
Thanks FAK for this — “Barletta’s latest EP, Whisper is coming out on Tremendous Records/Last Gang on September 29th as a Beatport Exclusive before it goes to the rest of the planet on Oct 20, 2009.” — Reach Wrongbar on your Saturday night for the exclusive drops from the man himself.

The Closer: Harvard Bass — Sunday @ Drake Underground
In our humble opinion, bearing in mind that the Crookers and Major Lazer are in town, this could well be the biggest event of the weekend. Harvard Bass, of the widely celebrated Sound Pellegrino Recording label will grace the Drake Underground, and treat the people to some of the most epic pieces of aural stimulation that we have heard in quite some time. The sheer quality of everything this dude touches is beyond remarkable, and we are giddy over the opportunity to see him live. Scour our blog for some sample work, as he has been featured on this space more than once.
