ONE – The ultimate DJ lineup

Our collaboration with Gatecrasher from the UK along with doing a simulcast with Energy 108 we put together a stunning star-studded DJ Line-Up. You could really argue it was overkill but it was a line-up of the highest quality.

Mike E-Bloc Live at ONE – Ridiculous Set

Mike E-Bloc was one of the favourite DJ’s Better Days ever brought to our parties and on this occasion without his long-time partner Danny Hybrid still delivered a mind-blowing set – listen below…

We really were spoilt for choice at ONE with a star-studded line up of DJ’s featuring the likes of Jeremy Healy, Todd Terry, the Lisa Marie Experience, Scott Bond, Luc Raymond plus a full compliment of 10 Toronto DJ’s along with MC Dr No and Ninette on percussion.

Jeremy Healy – the lost recording but what a set

Unfortunately we lost the recording of  Jeremy’s killer set or it was never made but either way it remains one of the many sets that was lost on the chaotic night of ONE. His set was killer as Jeremy is a serious pro (you don’t get voted the number 1 DJ by Mixmag without being a serious operator) and he did not let the insane heat in the warehouse get to him as his set was a blinder.

Crowd shot at ONE

Hanging out with him was a blast and we had a brilliant time as he is true gentleman and a hilarious raconteur. He hung out in Toronto with us for a few days and he was just a blast up for anything. A proper athlete and he looked after himself.

Did we record any other sets?

We only managed to get a one additional recording, but it was that of Todd Terry. Unfortunately as we had so many logistical problems on the night with different things and versions supposed to be recorded and we had a crazy night hence not everything was taped as planned. But you can listen to Todd’s set here:

ONE – Featuring House Legend DJ Todd Terry

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.
