I was just looking at the same invite! I would love to see Warren, Hernan and JOOF in one event. (Yes, in that order lol) That would be amazing!

Do it!


I'd love to see these guys live. What an experience that would be! Just got hold of their new cd and it's really good.


Here's video of them performing one of my favourite tracks, 'Les violons':



Closing track from their new album:



Another gem:

Originally posted by loopdokter It's tough to do when you can't pull the numbers. I think the market dictates the 'talent'. It's either big name DJs like Swedish House Mafia et. al dominating the more commercial end of the market, or you have smaller companies doing the whole tech thing. There seems to be very little in between unless you're 20 and into dubstep. Promoters don't take the risks they used to take simply because they can't. Toronto's promoting market has become very safe-bet. Prog isn't really even prog anymore. A lot of those guys have moved away from those types of sounds. I'd argue even the bigger names out of the list mentioned like Warren and Cattaneo don't really play a whole lot of prog house. Sasha is playing techy house and Diggers verges on techno. Somehow progressive house became Deadmau5 'Faxing Berlin' ripoffs. Sounds evolve and change. Prog isn't a big sound right now. In 2001, it was the sound for Toronto.

The reason why I never mentioned "Prog" in the first place is very much the reason you stated. It really isn't Prog anymore for the most part and I completely agree that Hernan, Warren, and Diggers hardly play full on Prog, but they definitely have many elements of that sound in a live performance (depending on the venue of course). The artists in my OP are a mix between Deep House/Prog/Prog Techno/Tech House/Techno which is why I thought it caters to a much larger crowd than being a genre whore and saying "I only want underground Prog artists to come". With that being said it should draw a much larger crowd than just ONE specific niche market which I would think would bring in better numbers.

After all is said and done, I understand that the market has drastically changed, business has changed and more importantly this scene has changed. In some ways for the good and in many other ways for the worst (depends on your point of view of course). Regardless, if places like Wrongbar was filled because of someone like Maceo Plex (who is relatively unknown to the general population) then I am convinced that there is other talent that can do the same. Its all dependent on how these artists are marketed. IMO it would be best to book a Prog artist with both a Tech House and Techno artist so that everyone gets a little bit of flavour throughout the course of the night and are not bored with one sound.

Maceo Plex drew because nu disco has a visible niche market in Toronto, plus it's the new 'in' sound. (and having support of Footwork, Cheery Beach parties can't hurt) can't say much for prog

Originally posted by MSZ Hernan Cattaneo & Nick Warren 4 Hour B2B Set!! 15 dollar presales, lets eat this up shall we? mmm it tastes so good.

That is a beastly booking.

Footwork has had solid support for its Tech House and Techno artists and fill the place on a weekly basis. Many of the artists mentioned have nothing to do with a Prog sound.

ie. Christian Smith, Alan Fitzpatrick, Jerome Sydenham, Umek - these artists do not play Prog.

I'd categorize Christian Smith in progtech category...

Why the fuck would you want to hear the same beat for 8 hours straight? Their shit all sounds the same and it's absolutely terrible. Jesus christ I wish that sound would disappear already. It was cool for like 2 minutes.

Seems like you dont appreciate techno ), each of those artists have been at the top of the techno chart more or less recently and that means they are doing something right )))


p.s. need this guy in TO guy too:

^ this is techno and not villalabia

+1 on alex di stefano

Updated first page of talent I would personally like to see.

Alex Di Stefano has monstrous productions. His sound would be delicious to hear live. Clearly, Stereo got destroyed that night!

Saw MDLM, one of the most solid nights I've been to. Some pretty good tech house was played that night, keep the groove going the entire night.

Popof was amazing too last time I saw him (no doubt)

And Umek cancelled on Toronto twice already... doubt he's gonna be back anytime soon.

I just want to see Lisa Lashes one more time.

Originally posted by Adam420 It's true, we have the same problem here. Stuck in the middle between tech, trance, tribal, electro, etc...We've been fortunate enough to get a few of those this year (including Alter Breed actually) but they were pretty much all booked by different promoters who don't normally venture into those grounds.

Alter Breed never made it to Canada due to various promoter-related issues. We hope we will see those guys play here soon!

Hi guys,
Organizing events for over 7 years now, Shakti Collective has had the opportunity to bring plenty of artists and names. As someone mentioned above, while in the beginning we devoted ourselves to bringing mostly Psy-Prog artists, in the past few years we have expanded on bringing also acts from other genres of music that in my opinion do not get enough recognition and attention in our city. We had the pleasure to host acts such as Atmos, Fiord, Beckers, Ticon, Sensient, James Harcourt, Shades of Grey, Simon Baring, Johnson (Fusi and Johnson, True Lies), La Baaz, Solead, Freq, Fitalic, Brisker and Magitman, Animaltek, Solid Snake and other interesting and passionate artists, and we are not stopping there! The biggest problem in bringing small-time act to our beloved city is lack of venues. I think that our local crowd (not to offend, but we are very choosy and spoiled) always thinks twice about where a certain party is being held. Our folks always try to go party in places that are big and spacey, within a certain distance of the downtown core and always keep cover prices in check. Unfortunately, due to limited venue choices in Toronto, it is not always easy to accommodate our patrons. We try to keep our party experiences as pleasant and as affordable as possible. In order to do that, we must always rely on your support. Please stay respectful, understanding and keep the vibe alive . We have another great year ahead of us with many great artists to visit our city (and even a few surprises!). We hope to see all of you on our dancefloors.



Regards

Boris & The Shakti Collective
