Another incredible party I forgot about this year was
Tobi Neumann @ Milkrun. That guy played some of the most cutting edge music I heard all year. He absolutely murdered that room.
I also found 2010 to be pretty uninspiring musically in our scene. I didn't go out as much as I used to, and when I did, I found myself bored with the music a lot more often. It def. has something to do with the fact that I've also been going out in this scene for many years now. There is def. a lack of new sounds for me to stumble across that I haven't already heard to some degree or another before. I would like to see more Deep House, and Progressive parties in this city. I still think Toronto has an incredible scene though, esp. for noobs. I think I need to put more effort into searching out new and different parties and venues to check out, instead of always frequenting the same 2 clubs the majority of the time.
MY LIST
Top Parties in T.O. - Sasha @ TIL, Beats Ahoy Canada Day Boat Cruise w/Victor Calderone (minus the no music at the beg. and end drama). John '00' Fleming @ Vola.
Outside of T.O. - Electric Zoo in NYC. Every set I saw there was flawless. Outdoor parties FTW!! Seeing the Chemical Brothers for the first time was a dream come true for me. I'll never forget it.
Fav. Promoters: Fabricated, Platform, PureTrance & Ozmosis Productions.
Fav. Club: Footwork.
Fav. small venue: Stone Lounge on College.
Fav. Dj's - Sasha, Steve Bug, Claude VonStroke, JOOF, Jon O'Bir, Above and Beyond, Markus Schulz.
Best Live PA - Stephan Bodzin @ FW
Fav. Producers: Claude VonStroke, Mat Zo, Carlo Lio, Guy J, Andrew Bayer, Breakfast, Mauro Picotto, Jon O'Bir.
Fav. locals: Andrew McDonnell, Nathan Barato (who I don't get to see nearly enough), Jeff Button, and Irgo.
Fav. live recorded set: "Markus Schulz presents - Global DJ Broadcast World Tour (9 September 2010)". Live from the KH @ Labour of Love. Really pissed off that I wasn't there for that set. HEAVEN.
Fav. Podcast: TATW - Above and Beyond.

| Originally posted by *~LiSa-LoO~* I'm also glad that I discovered Eelke Klein recently. I can't believe I haven't listened to him before. |
As the years pass me by I rarely make it out to clubs as I have a hard time enjoying myself with the crowds. With that being said, I managed to get my dance on a few times this year and had a great time at the following:
Paul Kalkbrenner @ Footwork - Most people will agree that this was an awful night due to capacity, the sketchy Friday night crowd, the fact that Paul didn't play a "DJ" set and had interim breaks between certain tracks. Apart from me missing his introduction he played a stellar live P.A. and his music sounded so crisp on Footwork's system. His techno is the only type of techno I truly enjoy these days. Set of the year for me.
J00F @ Vola - The last time I saw this man in action was @ Freedom 2007 when I was really into Progressive Psytrance. For the most part he kept me engaged and dancing all night long. I have never been able to enjoy Full on Psytrance but the Progressive Psytrance he was laying down that night was excellent. Hats off to J00F for staying true to his own unique sound and not hopping on the bandwagon like the majority of DJ's that follow trends and patterns.
