Resident
4 artists.
They define what our nights sound like, and play more of our dates than anyone.
Marisol
Warms a room without giving away the ending, and closes one without losing it.
TOKKI
Half of Low Frequency. Runs our basement programme.
Bea Salcedo
The best opening DJ in the city, and we will argue about it.
Represented
4 artists.
Artists we book, place, and build seasons around across the region.
Amara
Long-form sets, own imprint, almost never plays with support.
DJ Halo
Seven years of our daytime and terrace programme.
R. Okafor
Dubplates, tape delay, and enormous patience.
Half Light
Modular duo. Builds the entire set live, in front of you.
Booked
6 artists.
Guests we have booked onto a date. Some travel in for a single show.
DJ Casey
Profile to follow.
DJ Oh Laa Laa
Profile to follow.
Vessel
Live hardware. Four Canadian dates with us since 2024.
Koji Iwamoto
Eighteen months of conversations for one Canadian date.
Ana Duarte
Melodic, long, and relentless.
Sunny Park
Daytime specialist. Never plays the obvious record.
What we promise
Four things, every date.
Agents deal with a lot of promoters who are casual about this. We are not, and the reason our international bookings come back is that none of the four ever slipped.
Fees paid on time
Every fee, every date, since 2021. Deposits on contract, balance on the night.
Riders honoured
Whatever is in the rider is in the room. If we cannot meet something we say so before you sign.
Travel and visas handled
Flights, ground, accommodation, and the paperwork for anyone coming into Canada.
A real crowd
We market properly. You are not playing to forty people because nobody knew it was on.
Join the team
Five roles, not a vague talent pool.
“Talent” could mean anything — a graphic designer or a jazz cellist. These are the five we actually book and hire for, and what we want to see from each.
DJs
House, techno, hip hop, afrobeats, and anything with a room behind it. Send a recent set, not a biography — we listen to everything.
MCs & hosts
The person who holds a room between records and makes a crowd feel like it is at something. Rarer than good DJs and worth more.
Go-go dancers & performers
Podium and floor performers, aerial, and anything that gives a night a moment people film. Reels welcome.
Promoters & street team
If you can genuinely move tickets in your city, we pay properly and we pay on time. Bring your numbers.
Photographers & videographers
Same-week turnaround, comfortable shooting dark rooms at high ISO. Our nights run on the content that comes out of them.
Submissions
Send us something to look at.
A link to recent sets is worth more than a biography. If you already have dates in the region, tell us — routing is usually what makes a booking work.
