By Ani Hajderaj Toronto’s Toika Lounge is usually known for bringing in ASOT trancers and the freshest progressive house talent however what about the locals? Impact Productions threw their first party at Toika Lounge, called “Ascension”. The line up featured Henry Yoong (Kid Zero), Saad Ayub and Gary Sagoo (Gary Flux Muzik). Each one of them spun a different vibe. The night began with Kid Zero spinning a very progressive set warming up the crowd. Saad Ayub played [...]

For Ride The Tempo Written by: Ani Hajderaj | Photos by: Constance Chan Festival season occurs typically in the summer where music fans can dance in comfortable clothing in the warm weather, however in Canada the party never stops. Montreal has been graced with their successful winter festival, Igloofest every year, but 2013 was time for Toronto to add to the winter festival line up. Brrrrr! Organized by [...]
Since it's summer and I've been lacking on posting new music, I'm going to try to post YouTube and SoundCloud links here on my blog. Myself and the rest of the team updates our Facebook on a daily basis with our favourite new tracks. So while I want our readers to continue to visit Room-Noise. I will compile a list of new (or recent) songs at the end of every week for your listening pleasure! Enjoy Week One of our new feature. [...]
Today, tickets for Coachella 2013 already went on sale. This was just announced a week ago and I'm still sucking in my three day experience that happened only a month ago. Unfortunately, I won't be attending Coachella next year as I have plans for Ultra Music Festival in Miami. BUT, for those who are planning to buy their tickets for Coachella, I have several tips and some experiences from what I witnessed when I went. I hope you take some of them into consideration as they will make your trip to Indio better and even more [...]
First of all, I know I'm a horrible blogger for barely posting anything in the past month. But what can I say? I was super busy from hearing all these crazy festivals hitting Toronto this summer! I hope my readers will be stopping by to this beautiful (and crazy) city to check out the numerous concerts that are brought to you by fellow music promoters. Within just one month, four major new festivals were announced through social networks with some of the biggest international DJ's and Producers headlining it. Toronto is used to having to accommodate weekly [...]
The 2012 SXSW has come to an end. I've heard nothing but great things at this year's festival/conference. So to celebrate it.. and hopefully one day I'll get to attend this. I'm posting a special mixtape that is SXSW themed - produced by DJ Benzi himself. This is probably my third time posting his mixes as they're always great to listen when you need one long track to pre-drink to. Checkout the tracklist.. how can you NOT give this a listen?!

One of my biggest regrets was not discovering Bag Raiders until early last year. I must say that their self-titled album is still one of my top 5 favourite albums of all-time. If you haven't heard their name before, I'm sure you've heard their single, 'Shooting Stars' in commercials to the ending credits of How To Make it in America (RIP). Earlier this week these Australian duo's released their monthly mixtape. Enjoy and definitely check out more songs from these guys! Bag Raiders Monthly January Edition [...]

I cannot believe that this is the last Remix Fridays post of 2011. So many great remixes out there this year, and I'm happy to end this year's last RF post with a single remixed by Gosteffects and Rule of Eight. It's already been ahuge hit online, so when I got sent this I had to make sure to end this year with the right track. Enjoy your last Friday of 2011. Imogen Heap - Just for Now (Gosteffects & Rule of Eight "I'm God" Remix) [...]
I must start off by saying I was rather disappointed with my personal selection of my favourite albums of 2011. In my opinion I felt that this year for music went through a huge wave of different trends and hits. And those trends were both good and bad. Obviously, it is pretty much impossible for me to listen to every genre that there is out there, so I try my best to listen to everything I can.. when I can. Some of the great things that happened this year was the success of many producers and DJ's that [...]
This four minute minimix is just a sample of what to expect in January 2012 when the first EP from OLIVER drops on January 16. Vaughn Oliver (U-Tern) is one of Vancouver’s top-tier purveyors of cutting edge disco sleaze. Oliver Goldstein (aka Oligee) is a San Fernando Valley native and lifelong beat whisperer, a virtuosic overlord of third millennium romantifunk. Together they form OLIVER (one duo-riffic title!) a group built to take arms against a sea of sonic trouble. Tracklist: Oliver - Dirty Talk (Original [...]

Diplo is back at it again with another mix. Recorded off his live show on Sirius/XM Radio just four days ago, Diplo has chosen an interesting tracklist. While busy producing for other musicians internationally and touring non-stop, he'll be making a nine-date tour in his home state Florida with Sleigh Bells in 2012. Enjoy this one hour mix as well as a short interview with the duo DJ's of Mixhell from Brazil. Diplo - Blow Your Head Tracklist: [...]
10. Kanye West - All of the Lights Even though I love this video, the concept was pretty much taken from Gaspar Noé’s award-winning psycho-thriller , Enter the Void 's opening credits. I guess to Hype Williams, copying is a form of flattery. 9. Lana Del Rey - Born to Die 8. Metronomy - The Bay 7. The Strokes - Taken for a Fool [...]
