Once Again, RENAISSANCE EVENTS raises the bar for the clubbing experience in Toronto. On Saturday May 25th, please join us at the newly renovated York Theatre. In what is surely the most amazing new venue in the city, we will once again create the "Ultimate Night Out."

In order to insure your satisfaction, we have teamed up with two other extremely respected production companies, SLINKY UK and BACKBREAKERS. Known all over the world for their first class events, SLINKY UK will be bringing along their elite DJ roster. With a collection of Hard House, Driving Progressive and Tech Trance, they will show Toronto what the SLINKY UK "Sensation," is all about.

Also joining us for their 3rd Year Anniversary are BACKBREAKERS. A company that has been pushing the envelope with ground-breaking events, they are responsible for introducing Ontario to such artists as DJ Hyper, Freq Nasty, and many others. For this evening of celebration, BACKBREAKERS have gathered some of the world's greatest innovators in both House and Breaks Genres.

Along with these two companies, RENAISSANCE EVENTS invites you to see, hear and feel an unforgettable SENSATION.

Andrew Spence - Vancouver, Canada - Backbreakers, Futuristic Funk
The DJ formerly known as Slim, sorry no crazy symbols, just one bad ass DJ!! Andrew's lock 'n' load mixing and ferocious scratching abilities have been impressive trademarks of his from the GetGo. In addition to spinning a veritable typhoon of breaks, house and anything else that gets in his way, he will be ripping a tenor sax live into the mix through a mic, and effects, this awesome hybrid of wax and sax is making huge waves as Andrew blasts the envelope of the DJ performance into hyperspace.

OS/2 - Toronto, Canada - DAMN!
With more stamps in his passport than The Pope, OS/2 takes a little time off his busy DJ Schedule to become the official Renaissance Events Trance resident, prepare yourself for blissful anthems and that particular bangin' progressive sound that only he can produce!

Jelo - Toronto, Canada - 2WARS, Eastern Bloc, DAMN!
With a style that moves between Hard House, Techno and Breaks, it's hard to classify what exactly this man plays, but we do know that it's some of the the most slamming dance music you will hear in Toronto, and the reason why we have made Jelo a Renaissance Events resident.

Stretch & Hooker - Toronto, Canada - Lifeforce, DAMN!
"You've got to love it - or lose it - and most of all have fun doing it" - is a mantra of Stretch & Hooker who always have a good time while making you dance. They have used this philosophy over and over and it has taken them far. From Denver to San Diego, Buffalo to LA - Halifax to Vancouver these brothers have covered North America and then some - All the while having a blast!

Clayton Pauls - Toronto, Canada - Renaissance, Lifeforce
