OSUNLADE
The organic and soulful deep house don from Greece (via New York) helps us ring in the new year. Osunlade is the head of the acclaimed Yoruba Records exploring Soul, African, Latin, influences with a modern palette. As a producer, He has worked with renowned artists such as Patti Labelle, Roy Ayers, Salif Keita, and Cesaria Evora. Osunlade has provided us with dancefloor classics like Cantos a Ochun et Oya, Don't Change, April among many other original and remix works. Besides Yoruba, he has released music for many top dance labels like Strictly Rhythm, Defected, Soul Jazz, & BBE.

They've been in part responsible (along with General Eclectic) for hosting the amazing Uma Nota events fusing live music and DJing together into a rhythmic body movement inducing experience.

DIRTY DALE
Always a local favourite. His dance background gives him the insight into what make people move on the floor. Dale has played along side some of the biggest names in house music and is currently at Toika every Thursday night.

FOOTPRINTS
The Footprints crew of Jason Palma, General Eclectic & DJ Stuart have been bringing the funk as well as jazz, soul, latin, afrobeat, ska, house, hip hop and whatever else their fancy to the dance floors of Toronto for 6+ years. Over the years they've brought distinguished guests like Mr Scruff or Bobbito but really, its all about the 3 local DJs giving it to the loyal crowd they know best!

The trio of Yogi, Anand and Mark behind Solid Garage recently celebrated their 10th year anniversary proving their status as one of Toronto's solid foundations of the house scene. All have a deep knowledge of soulful dance music from boogie & disco to house that gives their sets a timeless quality.
