Farina played exactly what I wanted him to play, and then some. Non-stop groovey, sexy basslines; with some hip hop influence here and there to add to the funk of it all.

...back to passing out...

there's "hot" and then there's last night

the heat is actually quite fun when there's a bit more room to dance, move, etc...but it was a bit annoying with the crowd pushing all over the place.

Honey Dijon earlier this year was easily just as hot (no a/c at all), but there was 1/3 of the people and I had a blast.

Lots of cool, friendly people there last night, but more than a few assholes too...it wasn't *quite* the vibe I was expecting...it was a good night, just not 'great'...Matt C and Farina were very good though...actually, it was the best set I've heard from Matt C in quite some time.

some dude passed out in a bathroom stall downstairs, with his pants taken right off, apparently for 2 hours...after throwing water on him and still being unable to wake him up, security was trying to figure out how to get him outta there without breaking down the stall door. Hope he was ok, but jeez

AMATEURS! LOL!

youve obviously never experienced proper warehouse parties!

People actually used to talk about how rediculously hot it was (in a good way)

because people were stupid and didn't know or didn't care about the dangers of overheating/overdancing/dehydration at parties.

fixed Sonic is a club, not a "proper warehouse party".

on a positive note...I do love the venue and am looking forward to Miss Kitten in Sept

showed up at around 300. i thought i wasnt going to like the music but the tunes i heard when we were coming in blew me away. stayed around for about 30 minutes then decided to leave. i had a great time while i was there, but it was way to hot.

Although I was really looking forward to this event, I have mixed reviews.

The Good:

- Decor
- Matt C's opening set (besides a few really out of place tunes)
- Mark Farina - Wow! I think I liked almost every single song in that set. He was on fire. Funky and jazzy all the way through, with elements of hip hop and downtempo. I absolutely loved the downtempo stuff he was playing. He didn't play it last time when he was at Sneak's Birthday.
- KENNY GLASGOW - OMG! Get this man on the resident roster at Sonic PLEASE. That was such a fucking dark and dirty set. He has a very unique sound compared to all the other Toronto residents. I was amazed.

The mediocre:

- The crowd. There were a few really good dancers, and there were some people that were friendly, but there were also a lot of people that were rough around the edges. I also witnessed a bit of messyness.

The bad:

- The heat - This was definately one of the hottest I've ever attended. I was literally drenched with sweat for a good few hours.

- NO FILLING UP WATER BOTTLES - This was just completely unacceptable. To me, it doesn't get any more shady than this when it comes to running an afterhours club. It was so fucking hot in there, and people were loosing sweat at a rate of 2 bottles of water per hour. Not only is this illegal, but it's also amoral. This is clearly a cash grab technique. With tickets at $40, and selling booze (which raised my eyebrow a bit in the first place), they shouldn't have gouged their customers again with this shadyness. I don't care if it's an "Industry thing" or not. This should not be allowed to happen.

- Mario J - I'm sorry, but how do you play a set like that after Farina?

All in all, despite some sketchy people and some very shady business practices, I had a good time because of the company I was with. I will definately see Farina again.
