Coolest event Toronto has ever seen?

Man, I can't believe I was cottaging this past weekend while this was happening at the abandoned power plant by Cherry Beach.

When it was originally announced I drooled at the thought of partying inside the space but shrugged my shoulders after seeing the lineup. Normally I would've went just for the venue but agreed to a cottage trip not even realizing it was the same weekend. Turns out one of side rooms in the basement has a few hours of Berghain style techno :'( A friend of mine said the venue was even better than Berghain and Tresor

Biggest fail since missing Daft Punk @ Arrow Hall.

I hope this will be a yearly event by the same people because I don't know if other promoters will pay as much attention to detail as them.

it wasn't the basement. just a huge room separate from the rest of the huge open space. i spent 3 hours there and time flew by. it was really an amazing place. if someone with a vision takes it over, this could be our Tate.

Fuck, I would have loved this space. I have been to a few random parties like this in Germany. Very very cool experience with dark techno/experience.

mostly atom heart/ atom tm playing techno lol. the party in detroit was the similar but there were rusty stairs and walk ways to get to a second floor

edit: i was going to say brr because of the usage of the word 'cool'

Did you take any photos, Alex??

Wish I went to this... pics look amazing

Anyone who missed this event failed spectacularly. I warned you all.

Nice space

Definitely has the potential for big things.

Hopefully these events continue for a long time. I heard the building is for sale so who knows what plans any potential buyer may have.

From what i read last year some developers wanted to turn it into an ice rink or sports arena.

Hopefully no one buys it for a long time, then.

I imagine it's tough to find a space like this in NA and transform it into a continually running Berlin-esque club or even event space.

If someone could pull it off, that would be pretty fucking dope.

But yea, I could be talking out of my ass. I have no clue about the people behind this or what the politics in the city are like.

A man can dream, right?

i was kicking myself all night about not bringing it.

i asked about bringing it earlier in the day and it was posted that no cameras were allowed. not knowing how security would be, i didn't want to risk the chance of getting turned away at the door.

i get to the line, only thing they did was scan your ticket and a guy asked if i was going to be drinking tonight and then gave me a wristband w/o checking my ID. while walking around, I see lots of people w/ cameras and regret not bringing mine

For last weekend's event?

oh fahk, I thought they were pics from previous years and it is happening again soon. How the fuck did I miss it in the events topic?
Was it same time as Bestival?

The weekend after

am I the only one that misses skybar? It was a terrace in the middle of a lake and a concrete skyscraper filled jungle...

I miss it so much... almost all of my best birthday nights in the 2000s were up there. It was a guaranteed good time. :/

I really liked that it was in an industrial area. When that Redpath crane sticking out and stuff.

YES! I forgot about the redpath crane... I always loved looking at the city and the sun hitting the skyscrapers and other shiny buildings lol all these kids will never truly get to experience it...
another night I regret missing was the digital dream ap on skybar last year with deep dish... im not a huge deep dish or dubfire fan myself but just to be back on it would have been awesome...

I'm assuming when SA gets fully renovated, Cabana will be the new terrace/patio for all access events... but Cabana is just so shit... the view is cool but no skybar....

I think my biggest fail was missing Sasha and Lawler B2B'ing at Guv Skybar. Lawler was the only guy scheduled to play so I was like whatever... live and learn.

This place looks cool. I hope T-Dot doesn't lame it up like they're trying to do Cherry Beach now.
