They’ve compiled a stacked lineup which includes RAWD, Mikey Palermo, FRUSTRA, Video Life, Lamont Dex, Maddmon, YDID, Ulterior Motives, Wil Young and Style Of Tigers. This genre-varied and sure to excite event is being held at Toika Nightclub and with no cover, definitely worth fitting in to your Friday evening.
RAWD started producing back in 2013 after being inspired by the work of artists like Deadmau5, Avicii, Skrillex, Wolfgang Gartner, Alesso, Denzal Park and Dyro. He considers himself a pretty versatile producer, enjoying everything from chillout tunes to bassline driven electro tracks. Progressive house, however is his first love and what he produces the most of. Check out his remix to Diplo‘s, Express Yourself.
Mikey Palermo is an up and coming Producer and DJ with a focus on house music. You’ve probably heard him around the city before, lighting up the decks with his fierce style and unmistakable sound. Check out his remix to
Jamie XX‘s,
Stranger in a Room.
FRUSTRA brings a range of deep and future house paired with epic bass. He’s received support from favourites like
Claude Vonstroke and is sure to bring a unique spin to Toika’s decks. Check out his latest remix of
Boys Noize &
Pilo‘s,
Cerebral.
Video Life will take us into the deeper, darker sides of EDM with techno and tech-house. They’ve received support from artists including

Hailing from the UK and now based in Toronto, Lamont Dex brings us an exciting new spin on the re-emerging garage sound. From the aggressive, warping ragga vibes in
Jungle Warrior to the melodic and ambient sounds
of
Glass Heart and
Control, he insists on always delivering a high quality, variety of productions. Check out his remix of
Surge‘s,
Deep Inside.
Maddmon will be focusing on the deeper shades of house and filling our souls with the end-of-summer sounds we’ve been craving. He brings a promising edge to the night so prepare to float into Oblivion while he’s behind the decks. Check out (and snag your free download of) his remix of
Oliver Heldens and
Shaun Frank‘s,

Since his introduction to audio production at the age of fourteen, YDID has been honing his techniques and crafting his unique style.

Wil Young is a DJ/Producer originally from Melbourne, Australia. Best recognized by his unmissable stage presence, Wil is just as excited about the party as every person on the dance floor and he definitely isn’t afraid to stick around for shots of Jäger and Patrón with the crowd.
