The Academy, Shaman, Real Good & Roundtable Entertainment put on an awesome show called The Bodyrock at Revival. I came away really impressed. The whole premise was a bit silly. The party was “dedicated to the art of moving butts”, but I gotta say, the DJs really made that happen. One of the more memorable [...]

State Theatre is one of the most elegantly designed venues in Toronto, giving off an air of swank after-hours élan, with dark plush seats on a raised level and a wide-open, spacious dance floor. And the acts they’ve been booking sure know how to get said floor [...]
My friends at Never Forgive Action celebrated 3 Years High And Rising as the old-school hip-hop monthly to be at in Toronto. More or Les, Dalia and Numeric joined Toronto locals Paul E. Lopes and Mike Tull of the Bump N’ Hustle fame to make it a night to remember at their new home, [...]
