On Saturday, August 20th, my buddy Skratch Bastid (who just happens to be one of the best djs in the world) threw himself a birthday bbq at Toronto’s Steamwhistle Brewery. Although I had to leave early, I had a great time playing my set on this beautiful Toronto afternoon. Big shouts to DJ Starting From Scratch, Paul E. Lopes, and P-Plus who also played and for everyone who came through! Looking forward to next year.

After eating some amazing barbecue and playing some great summer tunes alongside a listing of dope DJs, I’ll be heading to The Beachclub Festival (5000+ person outdoor party at Canada’s biggest water park with 2 stages) where I’ll be playing approx 8p-9p w/ JB Allen & Sir Lancelot before heading to Skybar. There are a lot of DJ’s on this bill and it should be another dope event.. Don’t miss out!

Continuing where last year’s “Lazy Days” left off, HAZE is that feeling that you wanted to do something today but this summer heat has you in a camel clutch, and all you can do is tap out.

It’s not procrastination or apathy. It’s simply a HAZE.

We understand. You had every intention of doing that thing. But hey, it’s hot out. Wait until the sun goes down or something.

Some rare gems from a few years back along with tunes currently bubbling in the streets. And, as always: a healthy dose of remixes throughout.

HAZE is your soundtrack for doing nothing. So get to it.

“I’m in a HAZE, you’ve been amazed.”
