Five Four Fridays. #12

This morning I woke up, looked out the window and thought to myself “It’s on Toronto.” The first snow has fallen, meaning my death is slowly creeping up on me, especially seeing as I don’t have a proper winter jacket yet. I figure if I layer like it’s nobody’s business I might be able to get by with minor frostbite. Regardless, as usual some pump up tunes are essential for this cold, bitter, Friday night.

The first track is my current favourite from a twenty year old up and comer from Chicago that will have you closing your eyes and taking a moment to just relax. The second is a needle in a haystack of other remixes that a beautiful girl passed on to me. The third is my new top remix of Dirty South’s already fantastic track. Next comes from someone that I know not a thing about, the complete opposite of the final hurrah of the night. One of my good friends, Dave, is DAKK from the Vancouver duo signed to UK label Audio Rejectz. Tonight they’re opening for the increasingly popular Adventure Club so if you’re in the city of rain and mountains, head to Celebrities and see if you can make your way in to support this abundance of talent. Can’t tell you how choked I am I can’t be there.

Never trust yellow snow cones,

Five Four Fridays. #6

Why do Thursdays always have to be rowdy? Somehow I always get convinced to go out on Thursday nights despite having class at nine the next morning. This was probably one of the roughest mornings since I’ve been here in Toronto since, if I can recall, we were asleep by about five in the morning. On top of extreme lack of sleep, my phone finally kicked the bucket. It’s weird not being able to be reached so easily, I kind of like it.

Even though I’m most likely staying in tonight to make some headway on my multiple assignments, I’ve got some solid tunes for you all this week. A needle in the haystack of many Ellie remixes, a new remix from an upcoming UK producer, another new amazing remix from a Halifax based producer, the most unique of the many new amazing Happy Violence remixes, and a new original from the always amazing and wonderfully Canadian producer from London, Ontario.

OVERWERK’s manager actually sent me an email yesterday about his new track featured below, perfect timing. As it turns out, Ed was actually commissioned to make ‘Buzzin’ for a group of Norwegian kids. They’re planning on using it as their theme song when they celebrate Russefeiring next May. You can scope out their Facebook page to see what I’m on about.

Anybody have a spare Bell phone to donate?
