Posted by Skipper on Jun-07-2005 13:23:

Dan rocked it at aria last month - not that I would have missed this party anyways, Dan or no Dan.

I am THERE!

Posted by magikb on Jun-08-2005 04:04:

I will be there with my bells and facking whistles on man... DJ Dan rocks it every time

Posted by djbruuen on Jun-08-2005 04:45:

why such a short set from the headliner??? i guess i should appreciate the fact that its free...but would be nice to hear a long set from dj dan.

Posted by samhouse on Jun-08-2005 05:37:

This street party is all about good times rather than being run like an actual event. The DJ is almost one of the crowd...Its GREAT

can't wait...
I'll be FRONT AND CENTER from about 3pm on.

DEF gonna come see Deko-Ze and Jelo.....

Posted by preppie chick on Jun-11-2005 21:39:

soooooooooooo THERE!

Posted by MarkT on Jun-13-2005 02:24:

shit, so it was true...I'd heard not too long ago that DJ Dan was booked, but figured I'd believe it when I saw it, lol.

Although 5ive has been really good lately with Deko-ze, Sydney Blu and Addy...it's so rare to get decent EDM in the gay scene at all.

I know where I will be all evening that sunday

Boa used to try and bring in big gay talent, but the gay community was never very interested after the first couple times. Victor Calderone was a huge bust.

So there, I was there last year and Deko-ze dropped mad bombs and had the whole street dancing. Fucking awesome if you don't mind the colourful people parading around.

Calderone has been on the downside of his career for years now...he used to be in HUGE demand for remixes...but what has he done lately that's been "big"?

Boa had some good "mixed" lineups with DJs like Hex Hector, Honey Dijon, etc...but the gay community needs more than just DJs who they already have seen numerous times at gay clubs/events...YEARS ago.

why no kenny glaskow?

Mark what new gay scene DJ is big and hype? I don't hear about any of them. In fact when I spoke to DJ Escape last time he was here he told me he hated working the gay circuit as he found the music they liked was very monotonous and their tastes were found to be extremely fickle a lot of the time.

So pumped for this. (and pride in general)

I've already set up all of my pre-pride spa appointments.

I'd have to agree with DJ Escape on that one...it's too bad because I find Fly to be a great venue. I would pay $100 to hear someone like Sander or Lawler in there instead of the same old, same old.

With the exception of great locals like Deko-ze, Sydney Blu, TK and Addy spinning at 5ive, for example, I consider the traditional gay party scene to be all but dead in Toronto.

So who's good? Well, he's not "new", but the last time I went to Fly was to hear Peter Presta and he was good when he was spinning his dirty tribal and house...but his set was still peppered with some disco-ish diva garbage...but he's definitely better than most, IMHO.

I can't wait for the stage on sunday...now THAT is what I'm talking about...what a wicked lineup from top to bottom (pardon the pun, lol). People are going to go insane...

Looks like I'm going to the saturday party at KH too...I'm counting on Sydney Blu, Sarah, TK and Chiclet to bring the tunes!!!

can someone sort of explain how this works in terms of the licensed area? Will there be one? I don't want to sound like a hoser but it would be nice to have a beer or two. i haven't attended any Pride weekend parties other than the actual parade.

Some stages are licensed, some are not...the activate one never has been, not sure if it will be this year.

There are smaller stages with beer gardens.. this stage is the largest in the intersection of church and wellesley. There is no licensed area. However, there are liqour stores in the area
