The premise is simple: 2 cities, 16 dj’s, 1/2 hour sets. Montreal. Toronto. Montreal. Toronto. Etc… less like a battle, more like a domestic dispute. And like a domestic dispute… there are no winners. Just a lot of fun.
We will begin the evening with a performance by special guests: DREAMCATCHER.

SKEETER - smerk, heres my card records - the man behind smerk and one third of heres my card records skeeter has been pumping out everything from dhr style harshness to speedbass to straight up house since before you ever heard of "electronic music". We are pleased as f**k to have him join us.
