May 15 // We’re delighted to present an evening with two figures who have carved out their own space in the current landscape.

Fadi Mohem (.mohem) returns to our booth. As a resident of Berghain, with releases on Klockworks and his own imprint, his approach sits right at the centre of the floor.

Philippa Pacho () makes her debut with us. Through Phorum Records and a steady run of sets across Europe, including Bassiani, Berghain and beyond, she brings a sound that sits naturally in this room.

Measure Divide (Measure Divide) and DXA (DXA - Duhan) take control of the opening for this evening to keep it no-fluff from the get-go.

May 17 // DVS1 returns.

For a long time now, he’s held a very specific place in the underground, not just in what he plays, but in how he treats the room: time, pace, sound.

A voice of reason fighting for the values the dance floor was built upon, DVS1 is revered not just for his mastery on the decks, but for his steadfast determination to bridge the previous generation with the new.

His sets are a long, introspective journey, so come early, warm up, and be ready.

Toronto staples Circumscums and Geneva on warm-up duty, both not to be missed.

Strict no photo/video policy in effect.

Jan 31 // The year opens in motion. Rene Wise () returns to our booth for his fourth time, carrying a body of work that has lived in rooms long enough to feel embedded, records released on Mote-Evolver and his own imprint Moving Pressure folded into memory over time, each appearance resuming a conversation that never fully stopped.

Marcal () arrives in Canada for the first time, his path beginning in Brazil and extending outward through releases on Spazio Disponibile, the imprint shaped by Donato Dozzy and Neel, and through Enemy Records, music that has crossed borders by way of nights, systems, and shared listening, arriving intact, with its history still audible.

Measure Divide () returns to our booth following a period spent abroad, the past year moving between cities and floors, releases on Clergy and Mutual Rytm marking points along the way, the work continuing forward through accumulation.

eRee () steps into the room for the first time, a new voice entering the night.

As is tradition, for our final rave of the year, D.Dan (.dan___) joins us once more. 🌶️

Over the past three Decembers, his visits to us in Toronto and time spent together in the warehouse have given us nights that linger well beyond their final track, unfolding slowly and with care.

Here are a few raw fragments that capture how these nights have come together over the years. This time, he takes the room from open to close. Arrive early for the full journey.

March 13 // The one we’ve all been waiting for, Jeff Mills.

An evening shaped around one of techno’s defining moments. In 1995, Jeff Mills stepped into the Liquid Room in Tokyo and reshaped the future of the genre.

An all-vinyl surge of speed, control and imagination, captured on a recording that has stayed central to the culture for nearly three decades.

This March, he brings that moment into focus to Toronto in a warehouse with FORMAT and Apollo with a DJ set. Expect an exploration of the ideas and energy that defined the original night, carried forward in a new form.

A special film screening will run inside the space before the performance.

Subscribers, check your emails for first access now.
Public release opens on Wednesday, Nov 26 at 12PM.

Dec 27 // There is only one way we know how to end the year and that’s with D.Dan (.dan___), this time going all night long.
Fourth time with us, first time taking the whole night. His sets sit where raw grooves, psychedelic drift, and machine paranoia meet, and the warehouse goes all in with him.
