Flashback Jack (TR-909)

Playing on the 909 is Flashback Jack. Flashback Jack is a well-versed techno historian, the co-founder of r/ProperTechno on Reddit, an avid photographer, dancer, and live electronic music performer. He has played on various drum machines and synths, obsessing over their forms until their fullest potential can be expressed. Flashback Jack knows how to tie historical sounds together in modern fashion, in a way that simultaneously respects the game while breaking out of the box.

Ryan King (vinyl)

A true selector! Dark, driving, hypnotic and deep techno - masterfully blended in a way that locks dancers into a state of reverie. Originally from Australia, Ryan has found a way to make music unite people across all continents and hemispheres. A vinyl purist that's been on the decks since the early 2000s, Ryan has a passion for all things underground and continues to push the boundaries through his music productions and DJ sets.

Daniel Schutten (vinyl)

Originally a multi-instrumentalist experienced with drums, hand percussion, dabbling in bass, guitar, piano, and more, Daniel Schutten later began DJing as a natural extension of his love for electronic music. Daniel Schutten weaves sonic tapestries that elevate the points where tracks are layered together, with an affinity for driving percussion meshed with ethereal sounds. Daniel keeps a strong sense of rhythm going throughout the mix, opting to create ebb & flow in outside-the-box ways that keep dancers on their toes.

RestLes (vinyl)

From brass instruments and wrinkled sheet music to Gemini decks and 90s groove boxes, RestLes has been tirelessly pursuing music for decades. He continues propelling forward, recently playing for various collectives including Kaleidoscope, Elektro Kult, and Common Ground. He's initiated several collaborative projects through RestLes Invites - dabbling in DnB, hip hop, reggae - breaking the barriers of various musical scenes in Toronto. Techno is a predominant RestLes passion. His technical sets feature heavy 909-drenched rhythms accompanied by pulsating grooves.
