For this week's edition of our Get to Know a DJ feature, I spoke with Maria Jose Govea (a.k.a THESUPERMANIAK). Beyond being a promising up and coming DJ, Govea is also an accomplished photographer. To find out more about this Venezuelan transplant, check out the transcript below. And if you like what you read, you can see her spin at Wrongbar in June .

On Friday night, local heroes The Wooden Sky played out to a sold Opera House. The show marked the triumphant return of the band to their familiar stomping grounds.

On Tuesday night, my eighteen-year-old-self and twenty-three-old-self were at odds with one another. I was on my way to Massey Hall to see Snow Patrol, riding one of the new subway trains, but I couldn't decide how to reconcile the two conflicting selves. My older-self wasn't sure what to expect from a band I hadn't listened to since 2006, but my younger-self couldn't have been more happy to see a band that I loved when I was eighteen. Thankfully, the conflict was quickly set aside as the band in question played a great set.

For this week's instalment of our Get to Know a DJ series, I spoke with Jeremy Mandel, a somewhat recent transplant to Toronto via Montreal. Since taking up decks, Mandel has performed under many names, but can be currently found operating under the Mandelephant moniker for his deejaying and Jeremy Sean as he launches his production career. Jeremy was kind enough to produce a lengthy and beautiful mixtape exclusively for blogTO — so be sure to check it out at the bottom of the page.

Canadian Music Week, the annual industry event devoted to homegrown music, gets underway Wednesday. The event brings with it a dizzying number of performances, so to help make sense of all the choices, I've put together a list of some of the highlights. Nevertheless, given all that's going on, make sure to check out the complete CMW schedule for an overview of the festival lest I miss one of your favourite acts.

As with previous years, those interested in checking out more than one show can invest in a festival wristband, which grants entry into almost all concerts — information on both tickets and wristbands can be found here. There are some limitations to these wristbands, which (when applicable) I've noted below.

For this instalment of our series on local DJs, I spoke to Torro Torro. The group, consisting of Evan Norton and Mike Gonek, is best known for their Slowed Night, though they've been a part of the greater Toronto scene for the past several years. The duo — along with the previously featured Lucie Tic — uses their monthly residency as a venue to showcase and explore the emerging sounds of moombahton — don't worry, we go into exactly what moombahton is later in the interview. I spoke to the guys before they were about to leave for Austin, Texas to take part in SXSW.
