SebastiAn (Live) @ The Hoxton – September 8, 2011
Toronto has waited a long time for Sebastian to come. Thanks to the wonderful promoters over at Embrace and Hoxton, they brought this Parisian producer over to give Toronto a chance to experience his punchy beats & electro sounds live and in person.

A Slave to the War on Drugs
The summer has been good to Adam Granduciel and the guys in Philadelphia-based band War on Drugs. Not only did they release their critically praised (and fan loved) second album, “Slave Ambient”. But they’ve been touring around North America, making a stop in Toronto just prior to album release. I had the chance to catch up with Adam Granduciel who spoke candidly about what Slave Ambient meant to him, what the audience reaction has been and what is life like on the road.

Camp Bisco Preview: 12th Planet
John Dadzie aka 12th Planet isn’t your typical dubstep DJ. At first glance, he has the fashion sense of a hipster & skater combined. If your parents met him, they would think he’s quite the charmer. But once the sun goes down this tall, skinny, soft-spoken musician puts his pearly whites to bed and let’s the bass take over. This veteran DJ (5+ years) transforms into a presences on stage that captivates every ounce of your attention.
