Activate & Promo Records present
The 5th Annual
Old School Boxing Day Blowout!
Nothing but tasty beats and treats from before 1998!
Join us again this boxing day for our 5th annual night of old school
mayhem! For this night we've once again assembled an all star cast
of the DJs that made the Toronto scene what it is today. On this
special night we will again be opening the doors at 9pm and for a
$2 happy hour to get the night started right!
Staring
DOGWHISTLE SOUND SYSTEM
AKA Chris Sheppard... yes that Chris Sheppard! Long before he became famous for his Pirate Radio Sessions, chart topping tracks with BKS and Love Inc, or the over 3 million albums he's sold across the globe, "The Shep" was at the forefront of the Toronto rave movement. Dogwhistle absolutely destroyed Footwork at last years event, so we just had to have him back!
KENNY GLASGOW & MARIO J - AKA METHOD MEN 11:11
Since as early as 1992, Kenny Glasgow has been pushing boundaries. Be it through his sets with JMK, his infamous Family Tree warehouse parties or his residency at the legendary Industry Nightclub. - Mario J was not only an Industry Nightclub Resident, he was also one of the visionaries behind the club that turned the city upside down, and put Toronto on the global clubbing map. These days he's running A.D/D and still throwing the dopest events in town! Get ready for a late night old school session, Industry style!
JOHN E
At height of the rave scene in Toronto, John made a name for himself with residencies for Pleasure Force and Better Days, and he went on to hold residencies at System, Turbo and the infamous Limelight Pure Wednesdays. He's torn the roof of the club at past Boxing Day blowout's, so get ready to get down to his signature breaks and funky house sound.
TIM PATRICK
A mainstay at every Dose and Lifeforce mega rave, and almost every event in Toronto during the 90's for that matter, The Mystery man, has hammered us so hard at past Boxing Day Blowout's, that it just wouldn't be right not to have him back. Currently residing in Eastern Europe, he's back to rock us with a slamming techno beat down!
COSMIC COZ
A veteran of the club circuit, Cosmic Coz was a staple of such old school clubs as Energy, Club 108, Kaboom and Abyss among others. He went on to work on the event production side of things, installing custom sound systems and lighting rigs for clubs, raves and everything in between. Expect a set of classic house anthems, and maybe a little scratching for old time sake!
ROBB G
Definitely the rookie among this group of veterans, Robb's energetic and funky sound made it's mark on Toronto while playing for such heavy weights as Syrous, Dose and Metro in the late 90s. He'll be opening up the night with a selection of his favs from the good old days.
