The rave scene has gone through a lot of ups and downs over the past 15 years but I want to make it clear how much the all ages scene is in danger right now. With NO venues currently available to host all ages events except Opera House, these types of situations are very much going to be a reality. The all ages scene is important because it feeds the rest of the scene as we all grow up.
Whenever having this discussion with youngsters, they list off a laundry list of venues that promoters should be throwing events at. What you don't realize is that if there was a financially feasible possibility to throw all ages events at different venues, promoters would be doing it.
Specifically in regards to this event, yes it was a zoo outside the doors and yes, the security was hostile due to the situation. The line-up was unavoidable and the good percentage of people having NO regard for the difficult duty the door people have to ensure legal necessities for YOUR safety is what caused the hostile environment.
I know it's been said over and over.. but buy your tickets for all ages events if you want to be guaranteed admission. This is now the new standard for these types of events in Toronto.
On to the party..
Benny Page was awesome! Played a few very unexpected selections and I was pleasantly surprised.
Nicky Blackmarket.. thank you FS for booking him for an oldschool set because that crowd did not even know what hit them! Exposure to beats like this is what will help build diverse musical tastes within this genre.
Skibba.. you seen him once you've seen it all. It's unfortunate to those who were coming and had never seen him, but I hope it showed some people that CADDY RUNS THE DANCE, PERIOD.

This first release shows you Dubcomm means business! This tune is dancefloor accessible but will also please the ears of the biggest neurofunk nerds. 
Mirror: Distorted bassline, deep kick bass, and crisp drums stand out to me but I most like the intricate changes and switches in the rhythm. Check out www.darksideflow.com and search through the mixes in my blog to check Mirror out in the mix.
Synthfighter: Although not as strong as the "A side," Synthfighter stays true to its name and takes you on an epic journey of synthesized sounds. A tech lovers delight.
Lot's of big things on the horizon for Dubcomm.
