Well he shares his time with System on Fridays and Comfort Zone Sundays between 9am-12pm. He usually comes out to play at Guv for the All Accesses. |
Thanks ;) I have been trying to make it to Comfort Zone for YEARS when I come up, but I always hit that tired mark around 8-9am. Maybe now I have the motivation! I have also heard some relly mixed reviews about the place and can't figure out if its fun or shady? :conf: |

All he does is copy other big artist's styles.
I mean he is ok for a resident (GUV) DJ but that is all he will ever be.
I think DE-KOZE and Kenny have have a chance to break out plus they have an image too! |
IMHO all of the dj's listed are great talents and have made a great contribution to our Toronto Scene. Thank God. I'd hate to think we were dead in the scene like New York City is now.
I'll have to agree with TrickDaddE that Deko-ze and Kenny have enuf talent to break out. Their performances and image sets them apart. I think it's hard for listeners (like Mr politiks himself JayX1 :p) to realize the difference...perhaps age and klub experience have a lot to do with the bias in opinions for MO's lead. But those who understand and devote their interest to true dj'g don't share the opinion that MO is the best. And I did see that TrickDaddE wrote "Listen I got nothing against Mark". So I think I can respect his opinion.
And...even though TrickD "asked" How the F**k is Mark Oliver leading the poll?...that does not suggest to me that he is being disrespectul MarkT. It just means that like many others experienced klubbers he is baffled by this vote.
I for one... have been disappointed with MO a few time. and IMO if a dj has a few bad night then that's understandable...but when he has more than a dozen in one year... then he's not on my top list.
I think perhaps we need to agree that we can disagree. And not take things too emotionally to heart.....right MarkT and Shaya007... I mean we don't want a flame war do we :stongue: :tongue3
Now about Kenny....I think I wanna hear more of him...now that muzzybear has added a bit more info to my brain. Sounds like a propa guy to meet...I can totally respect da man if he knows how to be one.
Ohhh honourable mention out to miller, blu, M & S and Greg Gow. These dj's got their Shyte together. |

You are right. Anybody who has been around long enough has heard him play everything from rare groove and funk all the way to trance and techno with house and breaks in the middle. Most nu skoolers only know mark as a trance dj since that was what he was known for at guv from 98-2001 ish.
There is no doubt that kenny, greg gow, peter and tyrone and a host of other locals are amazing. They excel in what they do. And when the time is right it's great to hear their sets. What impresses me about mark though is that he can play to just about any crowd and not just a specific type. I suspect the times you may have been disappointed is because he was playing for the crowd at the moment and maybe you just werent feeling it since you expected something else? I dont know.
Its funny you mentioned Greg Gow because i was just discussing what a good techno dj he is with a good friend of mine. ;) |

Big surprise here...... Sean Miller hands down.
Why you ask? What other local dj has been asked to go on tour with one of the best dj's in the world (Steve Lawler), and produced tracks good enough to be signed by two major record labels (Harlem, Stereo). Not to mention his amazing residency performances at Boa since the club opened.
It's scary to think where this guy will be a year from now....... |

Great productions are a great acheivement but this does not a great Dj make.... ALthough its brilliant when the two skills happen to come from the same person

Wow you are quite lashing with the personal slights.... Mama always said that if you have nothing good to say, say nothing.
I don't know why you take this issue so personally. It's only a discussion about a favourite local dj for heaven sake. |

Sean's on his way up that's for sure, I keep hearing great things about him, but to answer to your question Mark Oliver went on a very successful tour with Lawler just this past year.... |
