Halloween Special: two rooms of house in the Junction
This is the only Halloween night in Toronto this year built entirely around house music by people who book house music all year. Premier Music Group, No Sleep Club and Secret Society host it together for the first time. No Sleep Club's nights lean minimal and tech house and have brought Claude VonStroke and Barbosa to Toronto; Premier Music Group ran Back To '99, a phone-free rooftop party at Hotel X.
Room 1: tech house
Iglesias is a UK producer known for percussion-led grooves with classic disco touches, multiple Beatport #1s, and releases on Solid Grooves, Hottrax, Elrow, Mindshake, Moon Harbour and Of Unsound Mind. He plays a hybrid live set, which mixes DJing with live elements of his own tracks. Nathan Barato has spent more than 15 years in Toronto's underground, with releases on Hot Creations, Defected, Rekids, Saved and Relief, and runs the RAWthentic label with Carlo Lio. Aileen opens the room.
Room 2: vinyl hybrid
Kiinjo is the house project of Canadian producer Grandtheft: sample-heavy grooves with disco influence and a nod to Armand Van Helden and Masters at Work, released on Higher Ground, Nervous Records and Club Sweat, with support from Purple Disco Machine and The Magician. He plays vinyl and digital. Pepe Calles, Thomas James, Parallell and Chance play the rest of the room, which holds 200 people.
Kettama at History
The Irish DJ plays History at 1663 Queen St E on both Friday and Saturday, from 8 PM. His sets move fast and borrow from techno, hard house and UK garage, so it's house at its most rave-leaning. History runs on a concert schedule, which makes Friday a natural double bill with the Halloween Special across town. See our Kettama after party guide for the route.
Kaskade at REBEL
Kaskade's Halloween show at REBEL, 11 Polson St in the Port Lands, is the big-room option: melodic, vocal house with full production in one of the city's largest clubs. Doors are at 10 PM on Saturday, October 31, it's 19+, and tickets were listed from about $109.
Looking for a vinyl DJ night on Halloween?
Room 2 at the Halloween Special is the one we know of this year: a 200-capacity room with Kiinjo headlining a vinyl and digital hybrid set. It's on Friday, October 30, so it doesn't clash with Halloween night itself.
