One night in January, I headed down to Maison Mercer, one of the most beautiful clubs in Toronto (with one of the best soundsystems to match) to catch performances by Jay Lumen and Sebastien Leger. Herein is a video account of that evening.

I've decided to launch a new series titled, Top-Top Videos. Why? Well, I've come to notice so many music videos or electronic-themed videos that hit the interwebs on a daily basis and some if not most don't get to hitch a ride on that viral-train. With a little nudge in the right direction this series aims to showcase those such videos, and perhaps videos that just need to be shared. Here's the first roundup my friends! [...]

UPDATE : HUGE news exclusive for you: you'll soon be lucky enough to support Memorecks in upcoming collaborative productions AND on tour with a Toronto dubstep institution, whose own productions are heavily influenced by their strong roots in hip-hop, and whom have been strong supporters of Toronto rap over the last two years. The duo also happens to be personal favourites and close friends to SalaciousSound: Zeds Dead . Meet James Peck, aka Memorecks ; singularly what's missing from hip-hop AND music performance (irrespective of genre), as well as a positive, [...]
Looks like i need a little help from my friends as the Beatles so eloquently put it. The juggernaut event producers, SENSATION are making their pass through our neck of the woods: AMERICA! That means i don't have to spend $1500 on a flight to the Netherlands! haha. Since this has likely been the most treasured event to personally witness live over the last few years, i want to help out in every conceivable way. What does that mean you might ask? First off, i would like to cover the event, during the scene and behind the scenes. [...]

I have been seeing lots of clever ways lately to represent layered music visually, but this is among the best. Related posts: Upcoming Trouble & Bass Release: Tomb Crew - Heavy Bass Champions of the World Vol. XIV Conor Cutz Releases Original Track New World Top of the World
Some people watch the Grammys to see who's receiving one of the most prestigious recognitions of musical talent, some for Lady Gaga's outfit, but this year I'll be watching to see if they break away from a radio-play-count measure of quality and choose to recognize the most exciting artist to emerge in the last several decades. No one has had a bigger impact on dance music this year than Sonny Moore, aka Skrillex, and I bet no one has played in front of as many people either. Through the summer he actually averaged more than one gig [...]

From what we can all safely gage, Denver was the cats meow! I believe i do speak for all of Toronto when i say: come home faster Dyl & Zack! We miss you! The boys have cracked open two fresh jams with the equivalent force of the big bang. One of the treats has been dished out as a free download - consider it an early christmas/hanukkah gift - and the other is merely a preview to a forthcoming release on Dim Mak Records. And i hope i dont need to remind those in Toronto that ZD will be rolling [...]

Deadmau5 performed last night in London, in front of a building-sized projection light show. The 3D visuals in the video are pretty impressive, though it can't compare to the live event.

Tyler the Creator teams up with Toronto Jazz trio Badbadnotgood for two Jam Sessions. Badbadnotgood surfaced through the internet with their Odd Future sessions Part 1 and 2 in the spring. They recently collaborated with Tyler the Creator to produce a live version of his track Seven and instrumental jam session over the track Fish . Tyler demonstrates why he is more than just an outlandish character by showing off some skills on the keys. This dude just keeps on doing cool shit. Both are embedded above.

(Joker performing at Wrongbar in the fall of 2009) One of the artist who proved highly influential in my intial love for Dubstep, Joker , is slated to release a fresh album due out on November 8th. The artist who was a major influence in Purple returns, hopefully bringing melody and harmony to a genre that has rapidly become overpopulated by agression and atonality. If this stream below is any indication his upcoming album, Vision will have mass appeal that hopefully will open ears to this underrated pioneer while [...]
Step into the making of Sensation Innerspace, Amsterdam 2011. This short video clearly depicts that this year - and every year for that fact - aint no regular rave in your grandmas basement.
