We invite you to our upcoming new years eve party at a super-sweet west-end dance school and studio. Weâve always been motivated to create an uncomplicated, feel-good party for this night, where our friends and friends of friends can spend good time together unburdened by the traditional hype surrounding the occasion.
This year some very exciting elements have fallen into our lap. We have this great new space, some hard working new partners (Ian, Paul, Eric and Noah from Fukhouse), and some special out of town visitors highlighting the music line up.
The location is the Pia Bouman School for Ballet and Creative Movement. Itâs an original brick warehouse style space, which has been lovingly turned into a dance school by the Bouman family (Esther, Majeero and Pia), friends of ours for many years. Thereâre lots of rooms to explore - two will be music areas, the others designed for socializing and chilling. It has a sprung dance floor for comfort. This kind of space is very rare these days - a relatively raw studio just steps from the Gladstone and Drake on Queen West near Dufferin. Itâs something special and weâre very excited to be able to welcome you to it.
AlienInFlux and Promise join this time with long standing friends and promoters Fukhouse, who are among the earliest founders of the creative techno scene in our city, and have strongly and inspirationally maintained the musicâs presence here. Theyâre hard working, current, and have brought us inside access to great performers from all over the place. Fukhouse are friends and collaborators from way back and weâre all completely warm and fuzzy about working together to ring in the new year. Fukhouse is Ian and Paul Guthrie, Noah Pred and Eric Downer.
Hereâs some details on our visiting performers:
Jeremy P Caulfield
Currently based in Berlin, Jeremy is a true Toronto techno legend, having held residencies at Industry, Fukhouse, Blue and Mission. Since relocating to Europe, Jeremy has quietly infiltrated the top ranks of the global minimal techno scene with his unique and edgy sound. His critically acclaimed releases earned high profile sets at clubs and festivals around the world, and his Dumb-Unit label has established itself as a significant artistic force.
Adham Shaihk
With beginnings rooted in our favorite downtempo label Interchill Records, this West Coast world fusion composer, sound designer and dj creates music from his own SonicTurtle mobile recording studio. His skills have taken him around from the Samothraki Dance Festival in Greece to Dakini Records events in Japan, the Waveform Festival UK, Boom Festival In Portugal, and received a Juno Award nomination in 2006. Adham has always been one of our favorites and back in April he played live for us with his band Dream Tree Project - it was an amazing performance encompassing sitar, tablas and electronics at the Dragonfly in Parkdale. For his new years eve visit expect dancefloor tempo beats to really get you moving as Adham djs his favorites for the night.
Pan/Tone live
Under his Pan/Tone alias, Sheldon Thompson embarked on a path of music rocking dance floors and leaving no room for chin stroking. Based in Germany, his prolific studio work has seen him release dozens of records on labels including Sub-Static, Onitor, Mule Electronic, 240 Volts, Trapez, and his own Cereal/Killers. Sheldon's incendiary live sets are second to none and keep him on a jammed touring schedule to places like Paris, Istanbul, Rome, Tokyo, Portugal, Belgium and beyond.
Adam Marshall
Running his New Kanada imprint, releasing on Cynosure, and djing all over the place, Adam has been a fixture in Toronto's underground techno and house scene. With a reputation forged as a solid performer both live and behind the decks, this will be our last opportunity to see Adam before he departs for life and music work in Berlin. We look forward to hearing about his adventures and take pride as he shows the world how great Toronto can be.
Eccodek live
Eccodek is a multicultural, multi-genre concept created by 2007 Canadian Music Award winner Andrew McPherson. Andrewâs production skills with the Philosopher Kings, Jane Siberry, National Geographic, and Vieux Farka Touré provide the foundation for Eccodekâs heady brew of dub, global groove, electronic and ambient beats. Released internationally on White SwanWorld/Rykodisc, Eccodekâs âMore Africa in Usâ and âVoices Have Eyesâ have led to appearances on the latest Buddha Bar compilation and National Geographicâs GeoRemix project. With stunning vocal performances from India, Mali, Turkey and Fiji, the live 8 piece band will weave an exotic spell of manipulated samples, drums, bass, sax, percussion, flute and keys.
These are our visitors and they anchor an event also filled with our favorite locals Mike Gibbs, Rollinâ Cash, Medicineman, Hali, Ian Guthrie, Eric Downer, Noah Pred, Scott and Mike on decor, and Blaine (blankphoto) on visuals â itâs an immensely strong night from start to finish and weâre looking forward to all the surprises as we kiss 2007 goodbye and welcome in 2008.
Happiest of holidays to you, see you new years eve!
Justin, Lana, Eric, Paul, Noah, Ian, David and Irving
