Okay, so, went to coda finally. Finally popped my coda cherry. I know it wasn't a big night as it was just an afterparty, but holy god that was some shitty music. Most generic bland garbage ive heard in a long time from like 12-3. Is that really what Toronto listens to nowadays?

The good: coda was really cool in terms of design. More led's on the ceiling! And definitely add some circulation in the mens toilets holy god. Sound was good, albeit bass heavy (or maybe that was just the fucking shit music). The guy from 3 until 4ish (Montreal dude?) saved the night for me so thanks.

The bad: please don't book whoever was on peak time ever again. Ever. Listen if I can close my eyes and start falling asleep on the dance floor it's probably because you are playing uninspiring shit.

Would post more of a review but I'm on my phone and can't type worth shit on this.

i had high hopes for Guy J boat cruise. music was good but after a while the energy level stayed the same and excitement levels went down, it didn't go anywhere and ended up going back to what sounded like warm up tracks. i preferred the eelke kleijn cruise to this one. concept was cool though of the midnight cruise, the boat was rocking (in a bad way due to waves)

I have no idea haha

Appolonia maybe? I think they were scheduled to play at coda after the summerdaze party. Btw, thought they were awesome at summerdaze.

I went to Blondish the other week at Coda and they were pretty awesome.. the uglier one was a bit of a bitch... but their set was solid imo...
Met Lee Foss there as well... and as usual he was as high as a muthafucka lol

I might go to the EI afterparty 2nyte, does anybody know whos confirmed?

Electric Island party was well run and everything, weather etc was great but those sets by everyone after 5pm was horrible. So slow and just when you thought Tale of Us was getting into it 35mins into their set they gave you nothing.

Thank God we left around 945 for the ferry because as we were boarding it started raining. Great event by the organizers but the music (sound had problems with mids and also the right front speaker wasn't working during Hot Since's set).


Sorry run on sentences and no flow, I'm just happy I'm home now.

Damn... I thought Hot Since 82 would have at least delivered. Did he play Somebody, Everybody? That track is my track of the summer.

eh i thought tale of us played a good groovy set towards the end, they started off slow. hot since 82 boring toronto yolo deep house/ tech crap that you hear by 90% of codas regulars. I'm guessing the dude before was jamie xx n he almost put me to sleep. shit show at ferry ticket line up, took mad long to get in and shit show with ticket line up- letting in people with no tickets in like 3x as fast. i think I'm done with electric island as of this point. sound was low- nothing good coming from going. ticket prices way too high for complete bogus lol. its like each show gets worse and worse. EI season done, only show i enjoyed was sven vath. can i have 120$ back ?!

Holy afterparty!!!

This is exactly how I feel. Unless you bring Maceo Plex or some A class DJ then I'm done. I'm okay with these parties now. 7 out of 8 (missed the no-show Seth Troxler party thank God) is pretty good.

All 4 parties last year were amazing. Only Sven Vath was great this year. Although the events this year have been well run and organized. But they still have issues with sound.


You'll have to really wow me next year to come back. I think I may start taking it easy on Long Weekends now.
