Every single time Osunlade performs he absolutely smashes it & his appearances at Boogie Inc. events are no exception. Osunlade's vast musical talents range from production & songwriting to DJing & breathtaking live performances. His last performances for Boogie Inc. at Cobra for The Fix Fridays, Maro for the UnderOneHouse launch and last Easter Long Weekend at The Courthouse were nothing short of INTENSE! On Canada Day 2008 our fine city was blessed by a very rare performance by Osunlade and his 10 piece live band, the Yoruba Soul Orchestra. This was a night of pure musical bliss that none of us will ever forget. Be sure to check the photo section below for pics from all of these memorable events!

Do not miss your chance this time around to hear Osunlade and Toronto’s finest DJ’s throw down on a slammin’ custom sound installation inside one of Toronto’s legendary venues for house music, The Great Hall! We’re making the most of the special night and will be decorating the entire hall with Pat Boogie’s collection of authentic tribal masks from all over the world! LET’S DANCE!
☆SPECIAL BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION FOR OSUNLADE’S SISTER MONICA! ☆
The Great Hall was built in 1889 by the founder of the Moore Corporation, Samuel J. Moore. Architects Gordon & Helliwell were chosen to design this spectacular four storey building. It’s approximately 30,000 sq ft. with a full basement. It housed the first west end YMCA in Toronto. It was also home to some of the earliest basketball games ever played in history!
In 1912 the property was sold to the Royal Templars of Temperance, who conducted business in the building until 1940's when there was a major shift in the buildings use. It was acquired by the Polish National Union, and soon, presses on the ground floor were rolling out copies of The Polish Voice newspaper. On the top floor, rooms were pressed into service as temporary shelter for Polish refugees fleeing the war in Europe.
In the mid 1980's the rumble of the presses were replaced by the sound of experimental music and avante-garde art. The Toronto School of Art eventually helped to establish 1087 Queen St. West as an important address for Toronto's arts community. The dance music community embraced this venue very early in Toronto’s house music history and many legendary parties and afterhours jams took place in this historic building. It’s not hard to figure out why...the main hall is approximately 3000 sq ft. with a 40-foot high vaulted ceiling, a balcony with a sweeping wrought iron railing and a fully-sprung hardwood dance floor!
If you’ve partied at The Great Hall before, you know what it’s all about...welcome back! If this is your first time you’re in for a big treat and an epic night of music and dance with Toronto’s finest DJs, top promoters, and very special guest, Osunalde! Happy Easter!

Yeah I'm actually really torn between the two, kinda thinking doing both though? Would you be up for it?
This one mostly for the venue, milkrun for the music.

"You are virtually the ring leader, the way I see it."
Then, I blew out the candle.

Hopefully the milkrun location isn't in the east end like it normally is - then maybe you could do both.
Big line up at milkrun tho, wow!

Nah, budget dictates that this is a 1 party night.
Decisions, decisions.
