Finished the most mighty of weekends… a couple fundraisers and a couple weddings made for a busy 4 days. Somewhere in that mix I had to try and be a dad and do you know… my actual job on the Zone.
Focus was required, but hard to come by as I have my eyes firmly planted on Friday, September 23rd… Rifflandia!
OK, so Rifflandia actually begins on the Thursday, Friday is when Boitano and me DJ at the Phillips Brewery stage. Friday night at 9PM. After DJ Anger… and later that night; Michael Rault then one of our favourites at the Zone, Toronto’s Ko takes the stage. Boitano says that Broken Social Scene ends just as we start… so I get if you have them as a “must see!” but maybe you’ll truly endeavour to bee-line to Phillips to catch the end of our set. We’d really love to see some friendlies in the audience.
For our set… we are thinking that we’ll mainly try and focus on Modern Rock Remixes (Think Boitano’s Mixtape) to keep us on point for people that come to check us out. That said… well I love my modern electronic stuff from M83 and the new Neon Indian. I’ll try to squish them in if I can… early in the set.
I did fin a monster remix of the True Blood soundtrack! Heavy electronic… and Vampires! Oh My!

Savage. I heard that jammer on the XM Alt Nation remix show on Saturday night. DJ Liquid also played this remix from Oasis.

I’ll be choosing about half the songs so I want to include M83‘s “Midnight City” because I am obsessed.
Another song I am enjoying is Neon Indian’s “Polish Girl.”

I also have a remix of Two Door Cinema Club‘s “What You Know.”
OK so that is almooooooost 30 minutes. Any requests? And before you ask, yes I have made a commitment to end the set with Brian McNight’s 1999 slow jam anthem “Back At One.” (uhhhh if Boitano will let me and the people don’t have a revolution against me).
Right, requests… whaddya got?
Go with yourself.
