I was still out at the time.
I hacked into this BBS with my brickphone.
I was kind of pissed at the bouncer at Revival who told us they were playing house. Silly me for not doing any research. We went elsewhere for the remainder of the evening.

Riva can be a better bet than Revival in that area for house but it all depends on the DJ at the end of the day. Outside of FW and Guv I dont really know of any place in Toronto where you can walk in and be guaranteed EDM, not fluff... Does anyone else?

Not always, there can be 'underground' songs that have cross-over appeal into Top-40 venues.
I haven't been to a Top-40 type place in ages - but occasionally you would hear a proper house / techno song. Usually just 1 track and everyone else would stop dancing - but my ears would perk up and get me moving, and encouraged me to explore those genres a bit more.
Although, there was a long time where I associated "House Music" with "Bad Madonna Remixes" (damn you gay-clubs) and caused me to write off the genre has complete crap for a very long time.
Also these days, if my channel-flipping past much music is an indication of anything - lots of Top 40/pop-music is borrowing heavily from house/techno these days in terms of production.

I can't believe what people will fall for.
I noticed you mentioned Revival as one of your spots on the tour of the underground (up on college no less) but anyways, you missed one of the best house nights in the city in the basement of Revival the night before this post. Friday they had Brad Copeland and Coleridge doing a classic night from the System Sound Bar days.
1 day late my friend.

Serves me right for not having a plan. Just wanted a few martinis, but after a couple hours of that, we thought we'd check out something a little more uptempo.
