On Saturday the 29th of October, Freespace presents our 3rd annual “Trick or Tekno” halloween fundraiser.

This year it’ll be happening in an underground, urban location in Toronto.

The theme of the night will be “Dark Ritual,” a chance to play with all of the cliches that exist around Pagans and the Occult. Chaos cultists, evil witches, infernal fiends and all things sinister are welcome! (that’s right, we especially welcome all those who are diabollically left-handed)

Admission: $15 at the gate, $10 with a costume (Really, anything will do, just convince us that you tried to come up with something and we’ll let you in for $10)

The first successful FREq Album, ALLOYS, was released on Positive Ion Records, New Zealand and was backed with a 12” EP on Euromedia, Germany in 1997.The second FREq album was released on Iboga Records in 2004 and represents a rich journey into deep, slick, and phat progressive music. FREq is currently based at POLYGON studios in Melbourne, Australia. Active projects include collaborations and remixes with other international artists, including Antix and Sensient – as well as a host of forthcoming releases on Plusquam, Candyflip, Interzone, Iboga and many other progressive labels.
