Hed Kandi Style Djs?

do djs spinning this style of beach house exist anywhere in toronto or do we ever have events like this EVER? I'm craving to hear a set from djs like david dunne, seamus haji etc.etc. I'm getting SOOOO bored with everything being minimal or minimal influenced these days. I'd like to hear a set like good old days where music was just about sounding good, and not about being pretentious (ie. it seems djs are 'scared' to play anything with a melody, because it won't 'be cool').

you should have checked out the martinez brothers at cobra...the best music i have heard in a looooong time... the vibe was out of this world as well as the tunes...

the song thats coming in at the end of video 1 sounds sweet, exactly the type of sound i want to hear more of in clubs. video 2 has some nice percussion in the crystal waters remix. Might check that venue out at some point. are the cielings as low as they look? (i see they stole dragonflys lighting )

the ceilings didn't seem low to me but i'm short...lol..

They do Hed Kandi nights at Century Room at least 3 or 4 times a year it seems. I can't remember which dj's from the roster they've had recently, but I remember getting the email about the last one about 2 months ago.

I think alot of people are playing tech house and deeper sounds these days. Minimal is losing its edge.

About time. I can't handle any more minimal crap. Tech house is getting too overplayed too. Things need to get changed around more. Though I'm still a tribal slave...I want variety too.

I think at Maro as well... but yea..there are a LOT of hed kandi parties here...

Dress code is not casual however....so that better not be a problem for you should you decide to go to the next one.

thanks for the heads up! i just looked at there website (which is bare) but the photos show only seating, is there dancing room there?

I feel like i've been living under a rock missing events like these.

yea theres space for dancing...but chilled house is more for just lounging around and sipping on a drink anyhow (occasionally bobbing your head to the beat..lol)

To each their own but I couldn't get through the first 15 seconds of that video without wanting to rip my ears off.

The music sucks lately. I am so damn tired of dark and sketchy shit being played everywhere.

What happened to happy sexy tunes....
