SHEROES ART + MUSIC FESTIVAL // EN MASSE
These pics are from the Sheroes Music Festival, which took place during a Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington market in July. The festival was another fabulous afternoon of art and music making put on by the Whippersnapper team. The parking lot behind El Gordo Fine Foods was an explosion of creativity. A team of some of my favourite local artists (Nicholas Robbins, Alexandra...
FLY GIRLS
My last mix was all boys, so this one is all woman baby!
Some of these tunes I’ve been listening to for years, while others I only discovered recently. Either way, I’m a huge fan of all the ladies on this compilation.

That all being said, there is one...

SOUND IN MOTION BEACH PARTY
Just a few days after I lamented the state of Toronto’s electronic music scene on our blog, my prayers were answered when a friend connected me to a small but growing organization called StudioFeed. StudioFeed is a Toronto music collective made up of artists, producers, DJ’s, promoters, labels, venues and anyone else who supports independent music and wants to be part of the...
