Finally got a chance to chill with Dan Haid in the studio today. It was really cool to hear his take on some of the more cerebral aspects of track making. He's classically trained, and from what I gather, he wandered into electronic music through film score work, finding himself saving time and money by working with synthesizers in lieu of live instruments. We got to listen to a brand new track as well, and some collabo work with his friend Pete Huang. They go by the name Banger and Mash, not to be confused with the UK's Bangers & Mash, or for that matter the delicious breakfast.

Lots of sweat and moshin'.

Last Thursday, we broadcasted live from Hart House's Craft Beer BBQ. Everyone got really shitfaced on free Ontario beer and ate lots of sausage. Kenny Hotz of Kenny vs. Spenny dropped by our tent, and I told him about the time Spenny was a total dick to our radio station. Live sets by Bonjay, Everything All The Time and Grahmzilla of Thunderheist were all amazing. Download their sets:
