Local DJs and creators of parties like JERK, Strapped, SMOKED and Pep Rally tell us what makes their city's nightlife so unique.
eight years ago because I wanted to create a music space that broke boundaries between genres. It’s grown into a platform that explores Caribbean and global club music. JERK prioritises the communities that inspire me most but aims to include everyone. As a champion of DIY parties, what’s the hardest part of the process when it comes to organising events in Toronto?
Dealing with the growing lack of venues! Restrictive by-laws that prevent outdoor programming. The community is here, the spaces aren’t. The Toronto sound right now that is relevant to me is open format, aggressive breaks, cult pop, jungle, techno, etc. Toronto’s queer nightlife scene feels like it’s acknowledged as the most popular in the city and setting the tone for what parties should look like in general. The intentionality, ethics, and creativity really sets it apart.
Strapped was created at a time when it felt like there wasn’t any women/NB Black-focused parties in the queer scene. It was created to bring folks together to have a space for community. Marisa, the creator, was gracious enough to ask me to be the resident DJ almost 3 years ago and we've been rocking ever since.
