Who played the party?

Well the stars of the show were definitely Laurent Garnier and Sasha and John Digweed. Laurent played the Guvernment on 3 turntables and seriously ripped it up blowing the crowd away with an experience like no other heard before it in Toronto at that time and the Better Days crowd went off. Other guest DJ’s Jimmy Van M and Dave Cannalte from Orlando completed the out of town DJ’s.

In the warehouse, Sasha and John Digweed were set up high in a DJ Booth playing to the biggest crowd we had ever had in one room at a Better Days party with upwards of 3,000 being in the warehouse complex side of the venue packing the space from wall to wall with partygoers.

The Land of Milk and Honey was the biggest party we put on to that point and arguably the biggest and best of the lot. Despite the warehouse/Guvernment complex being jammed with more people than should have been in there due to the lax security provided on the night.

Americana was a concept party featuring a stunning an all-American DJ line-up as the party name suggests. Our American friends did not disappoint us either.

Where was the party held?

Held at Toronto Island Airport, we had the use of the main hangar and an additional smaller hangar – an unbelievable venue for a 3500+ party where all the guests had to take a ferry over from the mainland.

It was a pretty stunning venue for a party to say the very least in a venue that had never been used and was rarely used again unsurprisingly.

Who played at Americana?

We had a killer DJ line-up with New York’s DJ Keoki, Boston’s MGEE and 333, Detroit’s Buzz Goree, Jimmy Van M from Orlando, Osheen from Rhode Island plus Christopher Lawrence and DJ Lee from Los Angeles along with a full complement of Toronto DJ’s.

Who else appeared at Americana?

As usual, the unbelievable Ninette supplied percussion on the bongos adding additional atmosphere to what was an amazing party in the venue of a lifetime which needed a massive amount of work to get over the line.

The light show and soundsystem were top notch and was so banging that we had numerous noise complaints from people living in condos on the mainland but the party went off regardless.
