SKELETUNE - Sept 21, 6pm
Plucked from the grave & placed straight in front of a DAW, Skeletune suffered his way through the days of janky software & taught himself the powerful method of "making it work" He learned pitch & rhythm by playing his rib cage but has been at this for a decade & still can't mix a track properly (Ears don't work too well on the previously-deceased guess). He often stays productive inspired by things such as "existential dread" & "maintaining sanity".
Longing to quit his job on the graveyard shift (literally)- he's not ready to sell what remains of his soul to the algorithm as monetary value still remains a completely foreign concept to him (let's keep that one between us). Remaining on the fringes of the community, outcast by his own hand and existing as a hermit in the most remote parts of Canada, he relies solely on the trees outside his window for production feedback, the sun itself for "exposure", and passing flocks of geese for news updates & tour advice.
He's mastered his new promotion strategies of "not telling a soul" & "doing it when I feel like can" which have been absolutely instrumental to his current success. He is ready to strike out again as a trailblazer- To dare to achieve a groundbreaking level of apathy from the community not yet seen before. You can hear news of his latest releases via carrier pigeon, check out teasers of upcoming tracks in the night breeze, and stay up to date with the latest merch by searching the bottom of your local pond.

MICKEY O'BRIEN - Sept 21 , 10:15pm
aka OB Orebody was born and raised in Copper Cliff, Ontario in the shadow of the iconic Sudbury smelter. As such, his music represents the raw, unfiltered experience of the working class man in the modern world, expressed over a soundtrack of 90s era boom bap beats.
Planet Rock - Sept 21, 8pm
Planet Rock is hot! The combination of St. James' clever lyricism over production culled from Seith's dusty vinyl, peppered with a good helping of turntable cuts, is one that must be seen to be believed. Planet Rock loves pleasing crowds of all sizes and isn't afraid to let that shine through. Coming from the streets of outer space to rock-shock the boogie, this rap duo is rooted firmly in the old school and will give you something to step to.
DJ Fresh Kils - Sept 21, 9:40pm
Fresh Kils is a Toronto based, Juno nominated producer, mix engineer, and MPC master, with a prolific career, marked with accolades and a growing momentum. He’s poised for a long awaited sound system takeover, and on Friday, November 25th, 2022, set to release his 12 track album titled “Disclaimer” via URBNET.
“Disclaimer” takes an emotive and decisive step away from the high energy MPC performances that Kils is known for. The long awaited album showcases a new depth and musicality, and represents Kils’ maturing sensibilities, resulting in a more sombre and emotive sound.
