Anyhow, I will post more of a review after I get some sleep.
But I will say HOLYWOWZERS!!! :crazy:
I had thrown my back out earlier this week. I went for massage therapy, alternating ice packs and heat for the last 3 days, no extreme work and lots of relaxing just so I could make it out tonight and I am glad I didn't miss out. (although a little sore now)
I am sorry, but Vinyl Junkies were it last night. I don't know where they came from or what rock I have been hiding under, but these boys know what they are doin. I was completely impressed, I danced my ass off, the crowd was moving and groovin and I had a kick ass time. I am completely impressed with your sound and style, your mixing skills and the energy level it brings.
I won't even attempt to ID here cuz I will just embarass myself, but there were many great tunes dropped including Shakedown - At night (not sure on the remix though). I haven't heard that played in a club in ages. It was great! :)
I didn't get to see Lio and Barato previously but I was seriously satisfied after VJ's were done playing. I have come to realize that Deko-ze just doesn't do it for me at all. Gow spun a great set as well. I definitely prefer his style more for techno events where it is more of the minimal sound. :)
And where would my night have been without some TA's to share the dance floor with. Kris, soooo glad you made it out. It was good to see you again. Toronto misses you too ;)
Miss. Jennypie..I KNOW you had a good time...watch out for that ladder..haha :p good to see you again.
Jaxx, yet another surprise. I know your feet were killing you, but you did well. Such a class clown you are.. heels and all :p
Sasha, Dave, Peter, Tyler and Remi (although he isn't a TA).. love partying with you boys. It is always good times. Next?? :D
Val it was a pleasure meeting you as well. Thank you to Sasha for the introduction to Val and Sheldon as well. :)
And if I am missing anyone else, I am sorry.. I am REALLY tired and my brain isn't working atm.
All I have left to say is, what's not to love about Footwork? <3
See you all on the floor next round ;)
(so much for not writing a full review..sleep time can now begin.) |

the staff at Footwork is on another level of politeness, seriously...
we left at 12 just shortly after Carlo and Nathan were done, they both warmed up the room nicely, blippy, melodic, groovy. etc etc. always good times with the both of them... unfortunately missed Gow and Vj's to head to TiL |

We had a fun night, got there later as we also dropped by TOI Bar for a little while as well before Footwork. We caught the end of Greg Gow's set, which started us off on the dancefloor. Stayed for the Vinyl Junkies set, which was also good-I liked the selection of tracks, and the flow of it too. And it was really great to hear SOS Skylark Remix-Nic Faniculli. :) (This was one of the tracks that Claire put on a CD that she made for me at one point, so it has special meaning).
We took off soon after as we had to get our beauty rest, but we had a good time overall.
And Footwork is really an amazing space. |

I def agree with Jen - the Vinyl Junkies were it last night. I also enjoyed Greg Gow - it was great getting to dance to proper hard beats again. :)
Sasha - that was a warm up. ;) Always save some for the best to come - see you Monday morning!
It was nice to meet new TA/non-TAs as well - I LOVE TORONTO! Friendliest lot of dance fiends there is. |

Really? I guess I didn't drink enough then, lol. Nice to meet you too. :)
What a fun time! Loved all the oldies woven in throughout the night. I love that Val opened with Paranoid Jack - The World Must Change...he knows what I like! Hehe. Finally got myself a copy of their cd too, thanks again boys!
Footwork > everywhere else. |

Those heels really killed my feet (sorry Sasha for the horrible sight of them after we left FW). :nervous: But it's okay Jenn...I saw you rockin' it out on the dancefloor for me...especially when the Vinyl Junkies busted out some crazy techno beats near the end of their set :)
Coming to this was a last minute decision...but I'm so glad I did come out!
I'm kind of sad that I missed out on the Roaches...I'll hopefully catch them soon (if not NYD)...just arrived as Greg Gow was spinning. I've never heard of his prior sets, but wow, he definitely dropped a wicked set :)
The Vinyl Junkies played some nice house tracks and ended off with some techno, and De-koze played mainly his signature tribal beats (was it me or did he add in a little bit of breaks too...) :)
All in all, a wicked evening, partying with the crazy bunch of people giving off such a great vibe (notably the TAs - Tyler, Sasha, Dave, Peter (clowns!!!!), Jenny, Sheldon (thx for the Addy dvd), Kabelicious (girl, we have to do it up again sometime :)), and Joanne (wow...random encounter for sure...but a pleasure seeing you as always :D))and even random strangers :D
Despite the fact my feet wasn't moving a whole lot I couldn't stop bopping my head...such great music and energy...imo, a great night :) |

They most certainly are. I have never been to a club where they are that polite in TO. Definitely a huge plus in their books. |
