The reviews from these D2DB parties always make me smile. In a scene that is sometimes criticized to be plagued by cliques and elitism, it's refreshing to see everyone from the organizers, to the volunteers, even to the partiers coming together to support a cause as noble as this one.
I definitely can't wait until D2DB6. |

The night started and people started rolling in, I always love the early part of the night when the "mingle" is occurring, the early start time keeps it different then any other event which I always thought was a must have, people need to mingle, it's a community event, we'll party, we'll dance, we'll rock the f out.
Zeina did an excellent job in her Debute @ footy, some technical difficulties with the equipment occurred but hey, this is the business. Good work Z.
Cam Maxwell played next, now mind you, musically, I really wasn't able to focus on beats, but from what I heard... it was SICK...
Birthday CAKE tradition continued with Cara, Tristan, Lee (Osborne) and Tamara (who unfortunately got sick) all getting the D2DB honour.. that originally started with dimitri and the lovely Miss K. I think it's a vital part of D2DB, something that will continue... cakes at parties seems like a no brainer to me!
There is a picture of Tristan that Milena took that is worth about 100,459 words.
LINE of the NIGHT goes to Rachel Finan: I got fifty dollars in ME bag...
So sick.... lol, god bless the english!
I took a little time to watch Lee Osborne as he's one of my favorites and don't get a chance to hear him often, stood on the stage, the platform and watched incognito to the crowd. Lee was the first to get four cakes baked by the lovely Chantal B.
Val, you can tell was a man possessed. You can tell the D2DB means as much to him as it does me, he played with his heart and soul and he rolled over cancer that night with beats that were uberly disgusting, also setting up Paco Osuna for a HEAVY set.
That, that he did...
Paco was ing phenomenal, I was blown away by his layering, his sick ass drops, his absolute carnage in the world of techno... Paco Osuna was on fire.
Actually, as YM-Roaches were coming on behind Paco... I actually whispered in Paco's ear, you were worth every ing penny, next time, charge me more. The gracious Osuna thanked me for booking him and letting him be a part of it. It wasn't the first time an international was blown away by Dance 2 Da Beat, which in itself is a huge compliment.
I threw on my "Barato - 99 leaf jersey"
(the story behind that, I HATE the leafs, but LOVE NaNa... and why 99? Well, Nathan IS the great one.)
-=oh, BTW ... Nathan had the biggest donation at D2DB, NaNa won a NaNo.-=
Playing the Electric Violin (Justin Chung) was something I thought was SUCH a cool moment, Justin did a ing sick job self teaching him a track I play. I thank Justin for volunteering his services... and using his skills to play into my style.
I was STOKED to play "Music is the Answer" mashed with Pjanoo all week, was basically singing it all week. I'm a "moments" dj, Nathan described it to me, I play for the "moments" that was definitely one of my favorite moments playing... EVER
SICK job by Roaches and my YM crew... BIG UPS... we didn't get to do it on the boat but was sooooo worth the wait playing with Carlo and Nathan. Absolutely amazing DJs, even better people... and even better friends.
Thanks to everyone, I enjoyed it. We'll hopefully see you all at D2DB6... I'm thinking mid spring... we'll see how bad people start asking and pushing for it
Kuddos to The Dragon, Scott Schilling playing a SICKKKKK drum.
Also, all the YM ladies... ING awesome moment dancing on the speakahs... absolutely wicked shots... wicked to see you vibing the beats... thanks to everyone who gave us the energy to do what we love...
you push us, we push you... we push together.
<3

I re-lived each moment of the episode, remembering the situations coming up with my mom. I then remember my mom asking to die, asking the pain to stop...
I can remember her begging "please stop, god.... please please please" in this faint, heavy french accented painful wimper that will never leave me to this day.

That's a seriously heavy life situation.
Hopefully the succeesses of your d2db events will prevent someone else from experiencing the same thing. |

I almost forgot to right a review for D2DB...
I decided not to focus my review on the djs… We all know the djs were top notch. Toronto is continually spoiled with the talent, parties and over all vibe of the scene.
I wanted to express my appreciation for David Aiello (aka David Ace). This guy… This guy pours his heart and soul into the D2DB, the djs, venue, crowd and total outcome of these events. The fact that he has a reason means far more then just your average person who wishes to make change, give something back or lend a hand. I thinking raising money to give to cancer is truly a great thing. I also wanted to thank Milena for spending countless hours assisting David’s with ideas, and running around to get the jobs done.
I also wanted to thank the people who spent time, helped organize, lent a hand, and every came out to support this truly wonderful event.
For those simple reasons…. Dance2DaBeat is and will remain the # 1 event in Toronto.
Highlights..
-paco's set (amazing)
-lee obborne's set (amazing)
-vibe, friends
-snow cones (OH MY GOD SICK)
-Justin playin Violin
-Dave Ace's opening tracks... bonkers
-How late the party went (5:30)
-Photo's of previous D2DB's (so meaningful)
P.S Ack Cancer |

To Milena and Ace,
You guys are amazing and have put your heart and souls into this event. D2DB was amazing. It is a really good cause that you are working for. The dj's you braught in were incredible and I could feel the positive vibe the whole night. It is really nice to see 2 amazing people working for the cure and the cause.
All the best in the future and then next D2DB
