In recent weeks I came by to see both Jesse Rose & Heidi, and unfortunately it was disappointing to see such low turnouts.
I hope tonight is much better represented...c'mon T.O.

Well that was fun. Haven't seen wrongbar that packed on a thursday in well...forever.
At work...still drunk.
That lineup was rediculous. 45 mins to get in when we got there around 11:20pm.
Maya was pretty good. Fun times. Would love to see her at another venue. I'm not a fan of Wrongbar.
I did not enjoy myself last night.
Gera and the other warm up DJ did a good job, but Maya wasn't all that interesting. You can totally tell she is a producer first, and a DJ second (as she admitted herself)
Her mixing wasn't great, and her transitions really left a lot to be desired. The tunes were decent, proper house tunes, something I have not heard in a long time. But, the flow of the set was very hard to get into.
The sound wasn't very good, and the bathroom/coat check placements were horrible.
I had a great time... Gera and Teej were phenomenal just before Maya came on.
Maya's set was a little hit or miss imo. Some flat spots here and there, but overall I loved it. Definitely noticed the lack of dj experience.
Stayed until about 2:45 and then drove home.
PS- Gera/Teej what was that track you played main lyric being 'Under my sheets.../between the sheets' something like that. Im thinking its by Art department?

| Originally posted by Yohan pretty much what I thought of her set, except I didn't think she was amazing, but decent. she's got a lot of years to learn how to DJ properly so hopefully next time she will be better. at least she's something different in tech house mad Toronto! |
Dope party. 
Did not think it would get so packed at 11! There was quite a bit of a lesbian draw. Enjoyed the last bit of Gera/Teej. Really liked Maya's track selection as I thought it was less bland and generic than some aspects of her EM. She lost me from 2:30 onwards. The flow of her set wasn't very consistent and left a lot to be desired.

I asked a bouncer what the capacity of wrongbar was and he said 330 - I think they were definitely peaking at 400+ which is way over crowded!! I hope they don't allow that many ppl in fore future events cuz it was just downright crazy anywhere near the dancefloor. There was no way you could dance freely without chopping buddy beside you in the face with your elbow or knocking someones drink...it was like Labour of Love packed and lots of people were super sloshed; was this really a Thursday evening?!? 
As for the music, I thought Teej/Gera had a solid opening set. Loved some of the vocal deep house tracks they played! I only stayed until 2am but what I heard from MJC was musically pleasing. I enjoyed her track selection 10x more than Maceo Plex's. She played deep & groovy house and when she played tech it was definitely not Toronto tech house that we're all over saturated with - it was really cutting edge and raw. Fresh sounding tech in Toronto is something you don't see often enough and I quite enjoyed it! She transitioned like a beginner and played tracks really quickly but giving her the benefit of the doubt, she did fairly decent.
Solid Thursday night out. Marco Carola up next!
dope party, loved Maya Jane Cole, now and forever

The transition to DJing for a lot of young producers tends to produce sporadic results on the dancefloor and programming usually suffers.
I've not heard her DJ and she is still quite young, so as she gets to play out a lot more I'm sure she'll be quite good. I remember James Holden going through this when he first started DJing (although now he's not my thing).
Maya came out strong. I thought she played well, but I expected something else. Can't wait to see how she evolves in the coming years.
