Space Dimension Controller in Toronto

Despite a shady origin story involving future times, lost space pods, and love sectors- one thing is clear: SDC knows how to compose electronic music that's far more dimensional than anything experienced this side of the Gamma Sector.

Records on Clone Royal Oak and the legendary R&S are future love and get down' frequencies pressed onto mortal polycarbon platters suitable for use on human controlled turntables. These records have made an immediate impact on modern day media and dance floors. As dancers and music geeks alike form beneath the BBD Alignment.

While an endless galaxy worth of space puns and trans-dimensional alliteration could be used to describe SDC's sound. Its simpler to just say that its beautifully composed forward thinking music that's suitable for equal parts and dancing and loving.

SAN SODA on MAY 13th!

Last year, or perhaps the year before last, we started hearing an incredibly catchy track, it sounded future and classic all at once, like a forgotten acetate discovered in a motor city garage sale being played for the first time 20 years after its creation.
Eventually some time spent with DJ google led us to the tracks name, the fellow behind it, and the realization that this wasn't made in a dusty detroit basement, but rather a tidy apartment in Ghent.

The track was "Let's Go" by FCL which is comprised of SAN SODA and 'We Play House' label boss RED D.
After buying the record, we realized that yet another song we'd been hearing everywhere with similar body commanding effects- 'More Than Seven (dub)' was also the work of FCL. The tracks were charted everywhere, making multiple 'top of the year lists' and getting plays from fella's like Motor City Drum Ensemble and Gerd Janson.
Thats all it took to convince us to drink the "We Play House" Kool Aid and become permanent fans of the label and San Soda's music.

The Belgium label 'We Play House' began with the release of San Soda's first EP after Red D and San Soda met through playing on the same football team (soccer, ahem).
Multiple EP's later and a full album, San Soda has continuously impressed with an innate ability to compose beautiful melodies in varying styles and tempos. Whether its the instant party of 'Birdies that Fly', the nostalgic sounding 'Middelmatig in 1993 ' or the cinematic feel of 'Juno Love', its clear this is the musical output of some one whose grown up on a steady diet of euqal parts tasty house, disco, techno, hip hop and pop.

We are very very pleased to be able to bring him to Toronto for a DJ set. His mixes online are a very worth while listen. While a quick youtube search reveals him playing everything from Armando to Midas Touch to Hall and Oates (count it!!!)

Last march we convinced the good people at the Drake that they should let us do a party in their little basement with the tidy sound system.
We couldn't promise much- we'd come and play music for people to dance to, and hopefully people would come and enjoy themselves.
We booked one of our favorite DJ's, Eli Escobar, because no one really knew who we were.
And despite Adam being held financially hostage by South Korean Fashionis...tas in LA and missing the gig, people still came, and danced, and enjoyed themselves enough that we got to do it again.
The next party was with Soul Clap. They drove themselves here and played one of the greatest sets we'd ever heard. We had a great night, they played some song about having 'one too many drinks' and everyone lost about 5lbs from all the dancing.

Anyhow, as it goes, we've been lucky enough to have had a wonderful slew of guests that have constantly redefined our definitions of 'having a great time'.
To all are friends have been coming from the start, thank for liking music and dancing as much as you like booze.
To everyone we've met along the way, thank you for your support, and telling your friends to come with you. WE HAVEN"T HAD A SINGLE REQUEST FOR TOP 40 in 2011 and we thank you for that!
Great tunes and great guest DJ's would be nothing would out great people being there to party with.

so, for our anniversary, we thought it only made sense to reach out to some local friends who have given us a tonne of support from the start.

James Teej and Aaron Santos aka THE KINGS ARMS will be joining us for this fam jam. While Teej has toured the world and released an LP on Rekids, he's started this new project with Aaron and the results have been brilliant They've already signed a track to Wolf +Lambs black label, and put together a brilliant mix for the notorious Louche podcast series.
let your ears eat it up:

thank you to everyone for all the support!

Balloons will cavalcade from the ceiling!

Montreal

We'll be returning to our old home of montreal this weekend to make dance with old friends and perhaps show enough people a good time to make some new ones.

On thursday Paul will appear members-(L)onely alongside the night trackin' fellas at their Blizzarts weekly 'The Ballers Social Club' . A smooth fam jam of sorts, dripping in nostalgia as this is the tiny spot we first played together at.

On Saturday we make a return to Velvet to play with the ever rad Shaydakiss at her LUXE monthly. Last summer when we played velvet it turned out to be one of our best gigs of the year. The dancefloor/dungeon stopped moving after the security made us turn off q-lazzarus' 'goodbye horses' as we burned well past last call. We hope to make it all the way to the end of 'goodbye horses' and then some, this time around.

see you there.....

P&A

JAMIE JONES

Jamie Jones is like an egyptian mirror system reflecting a booty moving beam of disco base lines and RnB screams down the dark and winding hallway of modern underground dance music.
He makes music that sounds all at once classically retro and futuristic-ally dark and sleazy, while infusing it all with a tasteful sense of 'good times'.

He is making seriously great music, while avoiding taking himself too seriously. Its an impre...ssive feat we're all too glad to receive the results of. Whether its his timeless hit 'Summertime' , his Curb Your Enthusiasm sampling in 'Ruckus', or the clothing removal effects of 'Nasty's Party' -its music that satisfies the three head nodding nerds in the corner, and the room full of people dancing closer with one another- all at once.

Partnered with Lee Foss, the two make music as 'Hot Natured' and run the 'Hot Creations' imprint, which has been a breath of coconut scented rnb/disco/house fresh air vibes perma pressed into 12" that crossover extremely well.

The Hot Natured parties in such locales as miami and detroit have provided some of the best pixelated and distorted youtube party videos out there.

SO Its only appropriate that we have him paired up with a 4am license.

Evening Standards

Its been a great year, we've been so fortunate to receive such wonderful support since the launch of our monthly 'Evening Standard' party back in March. From our friends old and new and the Drake Hotel.

While we took off december, we will back at it on January 15th with a very oh so special guest we will announce after the fall out from new years promo over load dies down.

There were many tracks we loved this year, and we could try and list as many as possible, (actually we just tried to do that and decided otherwise). But we realized goods songs are nothing without having great people there to enjoy them. You'll hear our favourite stuff in an upcoming mix, and on any night we play.
SO
Many thanks to everyone who came out to support us and our guests this year!
Thanks to our guests, you consistently re defined our pre-conceived notions of a good time.
We're lucky to have people around us that care as much about the music as they do about getting fucked up.
Seeing all our friends at once makes the difference.
Happy New Year
Paul and Adam.

LOVEFINGERS JAN 15th

Evening Standaed /09- JUSTIN VANDERVOLGEN

EVENING STANDARD 08 with CFCF! (Acephale, RVNG Intl)

CFCF is coming in on the night bus. Do you like the night bus? Do you like to make dance? The sex churn of CFCF’s chopped and screwed R+B will make you glad you got your hair did and stepped out on this night. While his own productions -which feel like a fleetwood mac penned cinema score that met a two step track on a balearic cliff side during the godless time between night and day- will make dance until you can make dance no more.

His latest release on dance beard label RVNG Intl 'THE RIVER' is one of his most beautiful to date, picking up on the same cinematic feel that made his LP debut 'Continents' such a repeat lisetn, repeat listen, repeat listen, repeat listen.
(its backed by killer remixes from Jacques Renault and Coyote)

We've all known each other for quite a bit now, having often played together at a bar in montreal that was recently burned down by a juke box.

So expect a fam-jam reunion sort of night, backed up by CFCF's extensive knowledge of music, and our own blend of disco/house/ /techno and weird pop party jams.
