It was a major coup to have secured Todd Terry to play at ONE and he did not disappoint. The Chicago Housing authority showed his class and blew the crowd away with his sublime house cuts.

Todd Terry almost missed the gig due to a work permit cock-up

Fortunately, at the 11th hour on the Friday at 4:30pm – way too close to comfort – we managed to talk Canadian immigration out of turning Todd away and allowing him to enter and perform at ONE – definitely drama we did not need but it worked out.

House Legend Graces Better Days Decks

We have had many top DJ’s play for Better Days making their Toronto debuts like Laurent Garnier, Deep Dish, Sasha, Derrick Carter, Farley and Heller etc to name a few but it was a real honour to have such house royalty play for us and Todd delivered the goods and then some.

Listen to his set here:

Considering how disorganised we were on the night – like we had never done a gig before – and since we had a no show with the camera man we are very lucky we have any video footage of the We Are Family 2023 reunion.

We have Laura T to thank for the clips below which she captured at around 5am when Ashley was laying down all the classic anthems to the assembled party goers.

What Ashley thought of the reunion

After the party Ashley, without even drawing breath as he fell in love with the sound of his own voice yet again not seeming like he was every going to shut the fuck up, went on to say, “that was hands down one of the top 3 crowds I have ever played to. Every person was beaming with positivity and just grooving out. I played the music I love and it went down like a house on fire…what a wicked atmosphere with so much love in the room and a crowd who were a treat to play music for…Gotta do another reunion – wicked vibe with so many lovely people at what turned out to be a cool venue with a killer soundsystem”.

We Are Family 2024 don’t mind if I do says Ashley
