As some of you may or may not be aware, beatportal has been following Fanculli on his GU tour..Here is the entry for Toronto..
| quote: | | Nic Fanciulli [a] opens the heavy dark wood door of room 1511 in Toronto’s Pantages hotel. “Ugh, you woke me up,” he grunts, stroking his stomach. It’s 12.59am. Nic’s DJ set starts in one minute and he’s still in his white boxer shorts. Luckily, Nic’s touring partner KOS is already at the venue This Is London, holding the fortified booth. Nic jumps into a steamy bathroom as some coffee brews. We had landed in Toronto three hours earlier, but we are still in Chicago. It had been a long night, and despite our best intentions we had found ourselves at 9am wandering the rush-hour clogged streets in search of our hotel having celebrated a successful start to the tour at an intimate afterparty. Nic glugs down the “worst cup of coffee of his life”, grabs his laptop, jumps into the elevator, and slides into the awaiting black leather seats of a Lincoln limousine outside. The womb-like interior and the comfort it brings prompts a conversation about how brilliant it would be if somebody invented a sleeping bag or blanket that you could walk the streets in. Nic swears one already exists (it does, introducing the Snuggie.) The car hurtles through the swirling yellow streets of Toronto’s Queen Street district. Young people, drinks, and laughter spill out onto the sidewalks, and through the limo’s tinted windows the world reels like a sepia-tinted movie. We pull up to a black door with four security guards outside. There is no queue which is never a good sign, but it turns out that this is actually the back door to the club as the front is a bottleneck. Nic is greeted by the promoter Jose Rodriguez, a short bald man with a grinning beard. He opens the door and immediately the security guards form a protective scrum around Nic and walk him inside like a boxer on his way to the ring. Nic’s ‘Eye of the Tiger’ turns out to be a driving wobbly house cut. |

I do love his techy style from Family Day in February...but to hear him drop some of the driving tracks he laid down last night was a pure treat to my ears. I couldn't tolerate the dance floor very often, so spent some time just taking in the tunes from the sidelines. 
I have been waiting all day for this thread what took so long ....
