Originally from the UK; Richard Meaney cut his teeth as a DJ playing at parties and events across England. His style mainly draws inspiration from the genres of minimal, deep-tech, and micro-house. This mix embodies the slower, after-hour minimal sounds that he loves, but rarely gets a chance to play.

Born in Liverpool England and raised in Canada, LeeJames has been a fixture in and around the Toronto club and rave scene since the mid 90’s.

LeeJames has played everything small after parties and private events to massive crowds of thousands at events like Utopia and some of the famous Destiny parties when he played under the guise of “Klark Kent”.  More recently playing clubs as Li’Ly and The Velvet Underground.  He has also thrown and hosted amazing parties.  Siren Fridays in Oshawa and the Catch22 after parties in Toronto.

Through his career he and his fans have enjoyed many genres together, but he always seems to find himself mired in the depths of deep dark techno.

Let me start by saying thank you to all the wonderful and talented DJs that were guests on the show this past year: Hyland & Kavai, Missanova, Igor Vasev, Jace, Moe Bass, Hugo M, Footwork Fuel, and Blair Malott. You all rocked it. I must also thank all the listeners that tuned in, youre the reason Im still doing this for the past 8 years. And finally all those that donated to the show, thank you so much.

As we close in on another year, its time for the Music at Night Year Mix where I play my favorite tracks during 2018 and crown one track as the “track of the year”.

Have a great holiday season

It’s not about where you’re from, or who you’ve been- it’s about where you’re going, and Deep Tech duo Hyland & Kavai know just where to take you when they get behind the decks and take control of a dim, hungry room with a signature sound that is deep, dark, sexy, and relentless all rolled into one finely curated techno package. Lost in the dark, digging deep into a movement that will leave you wanting more is where you’ll find yourself in Hyland & Kavai’s hands. Starting off young and DJing together since 2011, still in their early twenties, the Niagara natives Jay Hyland and Peter Kavai have a knack for providing gritty, funky basslines that will make heads bop uncontrollably, and bodies move accordingly on any dance floor. Because of this, Hyland & Kavai have become favourites in the Toronto underground scene, with a crowd who always knows just what kind of dirty groove they’re in for with this duo.

Holding down past residencies at the legendary Guvernment nightclub in Acid Lounge, as well as Cache and Terrace 44 have kept these two busy over the years, as well as playing Toronto underground staples like the formerly beloved Footwork, Coda, Nest, and Toika Lounge, and the notorious after-hours Comfort Zone. Hyland & Kavai have been around to watch Toronto’s dance music scene expand into something fierce and heavy, and have no doubt been a part of its rapid growth, playing alongside international names like Martin Buttrich, tiNi, Carlo Lio, Matt Sassari, Reelow, The Junkies, Victor Calderone, and never failing to deliver the dance floor to their desired destination.

Since Missanova’s official debut in the Toronto and Hamilton underground scene, she has been making waves with her addicting punching groove and funky kicks. While her style varies between sultry saxophones and open hats to grimy basslines and thumping beats, she loves to ascend and descend through the tech house and techno genres to satisfy various cravings. Missanova’s signature blue lipstick and dark clothing have become a crowd favorite, making her a recognizable face in the underground movement. Her mastery of funk and groove creates a unique atmosphere and vibe that is sure to get you clapping and bobbing on the dance floor at every one of her shows.
