Neil has admitted he's more into hip hop and house - not so much on the techier side. He's recommended I stop by on the 23rd and chat with the resident DJs, who will be part of a new thursday which errs on the side of tech (perfect!)

I will keep you posted! thanks for the support

closed april 29th (Industry Party). Simon Jain did the official sat night closing the night before. Phoenix was on the selling block for a long time and finally got something. although people are saying that its reopening but rumours are rumours. that place was my home. london needs a new club (by that i mean a large one. 1000 + capacity), not the 400-600 capacity ones that have sprung up

So I'm moving to London this month for an 8 month program @ western. While I don't think I'll have too much time to go out, I'm curious what's going on there these days electronic music-wise. I lived in London from 99-03 and lush was the place to go, but it eventually closed. My new roommate is pals with G-Boogie so I'm sure I'll get the scoop from him, but for those of you in London, what's up with the scene there?




hi Sarah are you enrolled in the MBA program there @ Ivey? i've been contemplating on enrolling, just haven't decided when yet.. also haven't decided on which school but it's definitely on my list..

if you are i might hit you up with some questions

I went out for dinner at the tasting room, then got dragged to joe cools. I ended up running into some friends from class there who eventually went to the frog but I came home around 12.

Joe cools is as lame as I remember it to be....right now I like bars where you can have a conversation with people (because I'm certainly not out to go dancing) - it was so loud in there though! the patio upstairs was better.

Emz, I'll message you on facebook, k?

Awesome to see this thread! I will be in London week after long weekend and my Saturday Sept. 8 is free. I was wondering if there are any classy places (don't care what the music is as long as the place looks comparable to a Toronto lounge/bar) that I can take my boss to and maybe meet some hot drunk college girls lol j/k)

taphouse is a classier place....29 park is (i found it to be very gino, but that brings ppl who dress nice to impress)

interesting, a bunch of folks from school are going...tomorrow is a 12+ hr day for me though.

I'll be at the frog on friday, any idea who plays on fridays? I'm going to totally hate the top 40 main room music, aren't I?

Yeah, this is part of our orientation weekend so wherever they say we go, we go...I laughed when I saw the email - "free guest list and line bypass until...9pm!!!" oh, London.

i lived in London for 7 years, just moved back to Toronto in April when I graduated...it never had much of a scene, very frustrating...i remember seeing Mark Oliver at the Lizard Lounge (now called Tantra, or maybe its changed names again) and there was like 20 people there. I worked at Jack's to make some cash, the music there was brutal, i wanted to murder the dj when "home for a rest" came on yet again...

The frog is alright, my friend Helen dj's there in the back lounge on some nights...its hard to miss her, she's 6'3" and extremely happy. you can hear her on 94.9, western's radio station on saturdays. Check out Jon Coe's show on 94.9 on friday as well, starts at 1:30pm i believe...minimal/techy stuff.

before everyone sounds off on London..lets remember that its a suburb, located beside a major metropolis, which by very definition means it will be borrowing its lifeline from a stronger scene, nevermind the fact that it happens to be Toronto, one of the biggest hotbeds of electronic music on the continent!
add that to the fact its sandwhiched between Windsor/Detroit, its pretty spectaculvr they get Dj's @ all...

that being said, i have had the great fortune & blessing to have been welcomed & brought in to London to play virtually every venue they have had their in recent years, from Lush, The Blue Room, The Cherry Room, The Drink/Knack, i was honoured to close the Phoneix (great party!) The Barking Frog, even a residency @ The Shot/The Base (in 99)..although my sound @ the time...was....um...ok we will leave it at that..even the airport road warehouse parties, the jams that argen/rivlin would throw, the Green Tomato afterhours events (clvssics) the Sigma Chi afterhours (more classics)...London was indeed Poppin!!!! Not just some shitty pvrty that Mistress Barbera played, in fact she played many events in London, most were well attended & truly embodied what the scene should be...great people with like minded ideals, loving & protecting each other whilst losing themselves in cutting edge tuneage!!! period. and as for Chris Shepard, who spent a great deal of time playing in London early on, well, that guy has down more for the dance scene in Canada, then just about anyone, say what you want about Love Inc...(lol), Chris' early dedication & pioneering of soundtracks, techno trips & pirate radio sessions, introduced electronic beats to more people in this country then he was ever given credit for...his dozen or so gold records that hang on his wall (ghost written of course) are a testament to that!!!Derrick carter, Donald Glaude, DJ Dan, RItchie Hawtin & John aquaviva (now swen weber) were all dj's i saw on a thursday night for 5 bones!!! Felix the HouseCat, Max Graham & tonnes more!!!

one thing that has always remained constant is the vibe there...its not the room, its the people & music within it. i Still enjoy going there, I look forward to everytime...Sydney Blu, Jelo, Dekoze, addy, Nathan B...tonnes of our Toronto camp, still regulvrily enjoy stints out there....i love London & always will...

ill see you on the 15th London...good times...anyone out there, is welcome to party with me!!!
