Best club I've ever been to in Toronto. If tonight is an indication of what's to come, this city has a bright bright future.
Great setup with a solid dance floor; such full, beautiful sound and far from overwhelmingly loud--no earplugs necessary; well-lit and brighter than any other club I can think of: you get to see people's faces, which I think is nice; cool blue LED lights on the ceiling with small red spotlights throughout; bathroom was pretty nice; coat check quick; no need to wait in line with a ticket. They sold a perfect amount of tickets: the place was full but there was room to dance. And the vibe was so peaceful, so friendly. I didn't notice any pushing at all. The vibe seemed to be verging on a Burner/Zen-like feel, but perhaps that's just my perspective? Tonight at Coda was a spiritual experience. And the MUSIC!! We showed up at 1:00am thinking that's when Art Department would come on, but to our fortune, Ame seemed to just be getting started. Holy fuck balls, he played an amazing set! And then Johnny and Kenny came on and delivered with the wondrous brilliance that they always do. Pure musical magic.
Prior to going, I trusted that Johnny and the Footwork team would include everything needed for a club, and their attention to detail is going to pay dividends. I imagine they'll get a a fan or air conditioning system in there soon, since it was toasty even in a tank top. But hey, dancing and pouring sweat is a great experience, so even without the fans, I give this inaugural session a 10/10.
Thank you Art Department, Ame and Coda
