On his worldwide Systematic Recordings 5th Anniversary tour, renowned producer/DJ Marc Romboy joins us for this exclusive Canadian engagement. Berlin-based Systematic is known as a premier dance music imprint with releases from artists such as Booka Shade, Stephan Bodzin, Martin Landsky, John Dahlback, Phonique, Robert Babicz, Dusty Kid, Zoo Brazil, and many others.
Romboy founded and built up the respected label along with his work on other imprints such as Alphabet City, Dirt Crew, Ovum, Terminal M, and PSI-49-Net. Over the past decade, his work pushing dance music forward, combined with his renowned productions and world-class DJ sets, have all kept him highly sought-after and regularly touring around the world.
We are happy to present the well-anticipated return of Marc Romboy, in a proper underground setting, while jointly celebrating years of success.

PERFECT!
My favorite venue in the city by far, and the BoK boys always go all out when it comes to decorations, plus the sound quality is fucking ridiculous!
t-minus 12 hours ... Posted by Intangible on Nov-20-2009 15:51:

Have fun

Holy shit
props to BoK for putting this on. It was my first BoK event and I loved everything about it! I'll definitely be going to more. I really enjoyed Fabio Palermo's set and Marc Romboy was even better, he REALLY brought the goods
Such a good time!!

Another perfect evening put on by the BoK boys.
Got their around 1ish and no line up whatsoever outside, coat check was super quick and headed right into the 'main' room where Fabio was playing a great warm up set for Romboy. Super smooth and chuggy but nothing over the top...
The decorations once again were out of this world. Massive kitten and red balloons everywhere, and I really liked how they opened up the area behind the 'booth', super intimate and a refreshing perspective. Also, I found service at the bar to be incredibly fast, considering how packed that room was during the peak hours...
The sound was FANTASTIC in that room, no distortion at all and very well balanced...
Romboy played a great set for me, tons of flow with buildup after buildup all night, really chuggy and the room was EATING IT UP, fantastic vibe tthe entire night. He was really getting into it as well, interacting with the crowd, posing for pictures, and had a smile on his face the whole time, really great to see.
In all honestly, I really don't have anything negative to say about this party, a great event put on by great people who just seem to 'get it', toronto needs these kind of parties. The BoK boys always go above and beyond and continually out-do themselves, if you haven't checked out one of their events yet do yourself a favor and hit one up, you won't regret it. Can't wait till the next one.
Ohhhhh and best part of it all......the sets were recorded, enjoy!
I really liked Romboy. Different styles over the course of his set, I thought the last 2 hrs were fantastic.... some very big-room sounding, atmospheric stuff over a driving bassline... dare I say almost proggy at times?? He's a fun dj to watch too, you could tell he was having a blast with the crowd and they were lovin' him right back.
Kudos to the BOK crew, this was an awesome night. Toronto really needs these kind of jams and I certainly appreciate all the hard work, time and effort that goes into making these happen. Happy anniversary!

I agree with everything that's already been said about this party.
AMAZINGLY intimate venue. DECOR was awesome (red balloons everywhere) lol. Crowd was INSANE, they were seriously going mental. Everyone was very friendly. I only knew a small amount of ppl at this party, so I met some new, and interesting people. Bar service was def. fast. Large washroom!!!
MARC ROMBOY was amazing. His intro into his set was probably one of the most engaging intro's i've ever heard. He had a huge smile on his face his entire set. It's always nice to see a DJ ENJOYING himself, and acknowledging the crowd. I was hoping his set would have been a little darker. But, that was probably just me... because I had some guy come up to me complaining that he thought Romboy was TOO creepy, which made me laugh... Still an amazing set none the less.
It was my first time catching a HALI set, and i really enjoyed him.
All around amazing party. I've been meaning to check out that venue for a while now, as I know the Promise boys throw some HUGE parties there. I will def. be keeping an eye out of future events there.
I have some pics/vids to come.
ONE QUESTION : wtf was up with the DJ in the front room playing 80's music?!!!! lol that was so out or place at this party.

It was deliberate, they were having a laugh and wanting to do something leftfield.

I figured there must have been a reason behind it! It scared the shit out of me when i first got there, since it's the first room you walk into! I never expected to hear 80's music at a Marc Romboy party. It was VERY confusing...lol.
here's a couple pics
