Apparently this is the very last Phink’s Night Out!

This Thursday, Oct 12, will be the last EBM Thursday @ Funhaus. This means no more cutting edge ebm/electro or psytrance on Thursdays. Why are we closing the night? Total lack of support. It is sad that in a city of millions we can not get enough people out on Thursday to dance and drink to ebm, electro, and psytrance. Toronto has just become a whole lot more stale musically. Come out one last time to hear what Toronto will be missing.

Shakti Collective Presents its biggest event to date with one of the trance world’s most influential icons . . .

Atmos LIVE
(Digital Structures, Spiral Traxx-Sweden)

Tomasz Balicki, aka Atmos, is one of the most successful producers in the hypnotic and atmospheric trance scene. His genre-shifting track “Klein Aber Doktor” and album Headcleaner ushered in the era of progressive psychedelic trance, influencing a whole generation of Swedish trance artists like Son Kite and Ticon. His sense of merging rhythm programming with delicate strings into a well-produced groovy sound is guaranteed to make everyone get down to the dance floor. About to release his third album, Atmos performs for the first time in Toronto and is certain to create a magical evening.

Back from Taiwan and moved by the deep and pulsating beats of techno, Alex K (DJ Lexicon) has been exploring new musical trends and laying down serious beats at events in and around Toronto. Alongside DJ Basilisk, Alex is about to launch a new techno net label “Drumlore” to further explore this sound and introduce this auratory experience to a dance floor eager for a change.

This coming Saturday I will be playing a special Y2K retrospective set at the Darkrave 7 Year Anniversary. Expect to hear old tunes from The Delta, Infected Mushroom, Tim Schuldt, Cydonia, Logic Bomb, and other big names from the turn of the millennium.

In hindsight, it can be said that the regular Darkrave and R351570R events helped to shape the nature of psychedelic nightlife in Toronto in the early part of this decade. An unlikely fusion of high-tech industrial and mind-altering trance resulted in a rare hybrid: the cybergoth aesthetic. This countercultural crossbreed, still thriving in cities like London and San Francisco, has never been very widespread. Toronto is one of the few places in the world where you could find fluorodelic hippies stomping alongside cyborgs decked out in gas masks and big furry boots.

Although such observations are usually beneath notice, I have long held an appreciation for the diverse qualities of my hometown dance floors. As the one who channels the music, it is always a thrill to see everyone stomping to the same beat. I have been working hard selecting the right mix of classic material to share this Saturday, and hope many will be in attendance to celebrate seven long years of Darkrave.
