This is a great spot in the west end of Toronto on the Mississauga/Oakville border. Every time we play here feels like a house party.. Just like the promo says “Good People, Good Music, Good Times” 21+ | Dresscode | Arrive Early.. Get’s packed quick!

Back inside Tryst [Toronto] this Friday night..!
We’re losing a lot of great musicians this year.. Whitney is one of my personal favourite female vocalists (alongside Sade and Aaliyah). It sucks that everybody always makes fun of people when they are alive (Whitney, Michael Jackson, etc.) and then as soon as they pass everyone is all of a sudden a fan and mourning their loss. We need to celebrate and respect our artists while they are still around..
Back at F-STOP in Toronto this Friday Night!

RIP Ms. Etta James.. Sad to say but it’s only now that people will realize what a beautiful voice she had.. If you didn’t know, AVICII sampled this song on his hit record ‘Levels’…. Educate yourselves and pay respect to where the music you listen to comes from.
I’ll be playing the Wale concert in Toronto this evening w/ Sir Lancelot..
Hey world! I realize I’m two weeks late on this post but… better late than never! Things have been really hectic (in a good way though) and I apologize for not having updated the site/blog in a few weeks.. 2011 was another great year and I just wanted to thank you all for your continued support. Some highlights included winning Fan Choice & Toronto DJ of the Year, touring North America with Blackberry, playing shows across Canada, USA, Europe, Asia, and working alongside a lot of great people! Thank you to my team at The 194 Group and all of the DJs, musicians, artists, and producers who continue to inspire me daily.. Look out for lots of things in the works for 2012, including a new website, mixtapes, tour dates, and finally some of my own production.. Stay tuned!!

Immediately after playing Kaulfeuten in Zurich, it was back to the airport to head to London England. After checking into my hotel (located in the Bloomsbury district), I was able to find an authentic barbershop and spend some time roaming the area. The following two nights (Thurs/Fri) I was playing at two of London’s best clubs – Chinawhite on Thursday night and the Playboy Club on Friday Night. It was great to finally connect with my people DJ Sam Young and DJ Smoov, and catch up in person over some delicious Nando’s Chicken. Chinawhite on Thursday was an amazing night.. Management had said the club was slower than usual because of the riots going on at the time, but it did not effect the vibe of the night at all. Great crowd and great atmosphere.. The floor was packed until the very end of the night and I had a great time playing a mix of house, hip hop, and classics! Thank you to James & Sam at Chinawhite for having me and I look forward to being back soon.. The next night was the final night of my 10 day European tour inside London’s brand new Playboy Club. Having played The Playboy Mansion a few years ago, I was curious as to how this would measure up. The Playboy Club is an ultra-exclusive members nightclub, lounge, and casino in one located in the posh Mayfair district of the city. Again, the night was slower than usual because of the aforementioned riots going on at the time, but it did not stop people from dancing, letting loose, and having fun!
