M.A.N.D.Y. | Steve Porter | Booka Shade | Time Festival… EMBRACE is on fire!
Saturday, July 12th, 2008|
Producing events across North America, this crew has a stranglehold on the hipster, new school techno sound, as well as the Porterhouse groove which has been a mainstay in his stable since we first met. We’re on board for four Embrace events in the next month and we can not be more excited about the chance to expose the bringthebeats faithful to cutting edge music and fresh vibes in new venues. |

The first of these parties is going down on July 25th when M.A.N.D.Y. invades Circa’s Randomland. The German duo blazed The Social earlier this year (our first opportunity to hear them live) and I expect nothing less at the super club Circa. We’re hosting a list so GET ON IT and definitely check out the live set from the world famous Fabric in London. We had a ton of great feedback about it when we were promoting the Social gig, be sure to grab it now if you didn’t then. Download (left-click and unzip): |

The very next night Steve Porter returns to Toronto for his second visit to Footwork in 2008. The first party absolutely rocked! Footwork’s Friday night posse ate up the Porterhouse, with the dance floor jumping all night. Anyone who joined us for Luke Fair back in May will contest the club’s Saturday night is awesome as well. Footwork is definitely the best underground space in the city. Its size, sound and following are very much conducive to the Porterhouse vibe. Again we’re hosting a guest list for this one so GET ON IT. And of course we have some tunes to preview the party… this is vintage Porter. Download (left-click and unzip): |

Out of all of these events, this one is the one I’m most excited for. Electro and techno are sounds that I’ve often been very critical of, but not at any time have I disliked a Booka Shade promo set. Hearing them live at Circa will be a very special treat. It’s always amazing to hear a proper live electronic act. I remember Trentemoller at Mod Club last year. It was so incredible to hear someone blazing in concert style, but flowing like you usually only hear from a DJ set. I’ve heard from many reputable sources that Booka Shade are very much at this level. Man I think we’re on the verge of a very cool night… GET ON THE GUEST LIST! Download (left-click and unzip): |

Sunday August 10, 2008
Eclectic techno and house mixed with big room electro will engulf the Sunnyside Pavilion for a day that is shaping up to be the most massive of the summer. It will be an entirely new experience for the bringthebeats crew, as it’s our first time hearing most of the artists and it will also be our first ever trip to Sunnyside for an EDM event. We have a couple go to guys in Jeff Button and Eli Wilkie, and Heidi really impressed us with her opening set at the Get Physical party in May. We’re also aware of the massive popularity of the headliners Soulwax, A-Track, Erol Alkan and Matthew Dear, but otherwise we’ll be venturing into un-chartered territory at this event. Should be fun times guaranteed. If you want to join us on August 10th you can do so by sorting some tickets through the Embrace Ticket Centre or you can buy them at Play de Record (357A Yonge St.), Soundscapes (572 College St.) or Rotate This (801 Queen St. W.).
