Well, it?s been 5 years since the inception of this e-community. We remember when it started as a small group of friends in Toronto just posting back and forth to see who could hit 100 posts first. LOL!!! That was certainly a while ago, and yet here we are several years later?still posting, listening, lurking, surfing, and well?.PARTYING!
There are a million things we could write here to remind ourselves of the roller-coaster ride we?ve been on over the past 5-years, but quite frankly, we know you?re not all here to read up on the history of HouseAddict (go to the site to do that). One thing that does come to mind is the state of Toronto?s EDM when this site started. It seemed that we were in a bit of a recession (to say the least), and very few clubs we making it. Friday nights seemed to be dominated by System Sound Bar and Film Lounge, while Saturdays tended to move towards The Drink, and of course the BANG events also hosted at System Sound Bar. In a few short years though, Toronto?s EDM scene evolved once again, and sprung out from under its rock. Within this evolution, local residents began to pick up their game, and new venues were popping up everywhere (Boa/Sonic, Footwork Bar & Afterhours?the list goes on though). The Toronto sound seemed to move into an up-tempo and hard-hitting groove.
Our 5-year anniversary really is a celebration of all genres of electronic music, and in saying that, we?re going to touch on a historic feel of the progressive house that many of us used to, and still do love. We?ve teamed up with the EXPOSED crew at MOD Club with the hopes of delivering a quality experience for anyone who is interested. John Creamer and partner Stephane K are perfect for this event as they bring their chugging and unrelenting thick basslines to an event that will really appreciate their sound.
We hope to see all of you on September 19th at MOD Club to celebrate the past, present, and future of what Toronto has to offer to the listeners, the head-bobbers, the dancers, and the wild ass partiers!!!!
Love from the HouseAddict crew.
Please use the contact details above for the HOUSEADDICT guestlist to this event. List details will be available soon.
Three and a half months, 15 parties in, EXPOSED is right on track to become a long lasting, dare we say legendary, promotion. It might be too early to use such a dramatic descriptive, but as a team we?re extremely happy with how things are progressing and we certainly look forward to an awesome month of December to close out 2007.
The Scene
We?ve come up against a lot of competition in our early months. Footwork has re-branded their Friday night, This is London has ramped up their guest line-ups in recent weeks and of course there was the long awaited opening of the super club Circa in October. For as much pressure and stress all of these clubs place on our efforts at Mod Club, the crazy Toronto nightlife this fall made us step up our game.
We all feel the stronger the scene is as a whole, the better it is for each individual promotion. There are definitely more than enough clubbers in this city to fill each club, every night. We as promoters simply need to keep it fresh and quality, giving punters many reasons to come out, and as a result, all the venues will benefit.
Our Promotion
The debate still rages on to whether or not print advertising is worth the money and hassle. Postering seemed to work in November, and was almost necessary with the high level (and paid) artists we brought in. However, we?re all in agreement that the CDs we?ve been pressing are the most effective way of tangible advertisement, as they have a much longer life and educate the floor as to who and what they?ll be hearing at EXPOSED.
Supplying music in all its forms is the way to build a strong and loyal club following and thanks to the artists who have been offering their music we?ve built up quite a collection of sets on our Downloads page. Most notable would be the EXPOSED.live sets from Neil Quigley, HOLOSOUND and our own Jeff Button. What better way to get the word out about the night, then to get the actual event on the Internet airwaves? Thanks for the awesome contributions guys.
