Being so close to the new year I have decided to make the next Music at Night my first year mix. I will be selecting my top tracks from the past 12 months and making a full 2 hour set. I would like to thank everyone for tuning in and downloading the shows, without your support there would be no Music at Night.

I must also thank all the amazing djs who have sent me their sets and have supported the show: Subfractal, Ovi M, Dan Burton, D-Unity, Glitter, Mike Conradi, and Damian Definite. Last but not least thank you to Johan and the Digitally Imported family for giving me the opportunity to showcase Music at Night to a global audience.

So remember to tune in on Monday December 27th at 2:00pm EST for the Music at Night Year Mix.

Thanks to Dan Burton for his guest mix last month, it receved a great response. Remember that the first Music at Night LIVE party goes down at Li’ly on October 23, see my previous post for more information. This months guest dj is Mike Conradi!!

Mike Conradi began DJing in 1999 and since then has played at countless clubs and events across Ontario Canada alongside some of the biggest names in electronic music. These include numerous

mainstage performances at The World Electronic Music Festival (WEMF) and other well known venues such as Circa, The Docks and System Soundbar to name a few.

Over the last 11 years Mike has become well known for his technical mixing and energetic style behind the decks as well as his signature sound that incorporates elements of house, tech-house and techno. In addition to a DJ schedule that sees him play regularily in Toronto, London, Hamilton and Niagara, Mike also has a number of releases forthcoming on labels such as Champion Beats, Don’t Look Productions and Fine Grind Audio.  Mike is also one half of the DJ duo known as REX MANNING alongside Toronto’s DJ Unabomber.

A HUGE thank you to GLITTER for coming in on such short notice and giving me a crazy set. The August show is now ready for download. Next month we have Dan Burton. With his integral blends of techno and tech house influences, Dan knows how to work a crowd. Having worked the Toronto bar/ lounge circuit, Dan is eager and ready to move on to the bigger stage. Being in close environments with DJ’s Nathan Barato, Cam Maxwell, George William, El Duran, Paranoid Jack, Tim Patrick, Iron Mike, Anthony D’Amico, Julien Loreto, Chris Fresque, Rob Lamberti, Maddy Frizzell, Luis Sastre and others – just to name a few- he has quickly progressed in the electronic music community.

This ex- Audio Creep had a fantastic year in 2009-2010, having done interviews on Scenester radio, and played all over Toronto… including Guvernment, Film lounge, Lily Lounge, LOL lounge, opened for Steve Lawler on New years at Circa 2010, as well as played WMC 2010 w/ international artists Subfractal, Erphun + More. Ready to continue moving forward, look for Dan and his upcoming releases and events starting this summer 2010!

Thanks to Damian Definite for creating a slamming set. This month we have international producer/dj Glitter (http://www.myspace.com/glitterlive)!!!

Wow, what a rocking set last month by OVI M. This month we have special guest Damian Definite.
Toronto’s Damian Definite is perhaps one of Canada’s best kept electronic dance music secrets. But all that is about to change as Damian is steadily making a name for him self globally as a purveyor of quality house and techno music.

An active DJ since the mid-90’s Damian has never strayed from the four-on-the-floor sound and he has played Canada coast to coast lighting up dancefloors at many of the countries top clubs and events from Newfoundland to Calgary, Hamilton to Vancouver, Toronto to Kelowna. Damian’s relentless, crowd pleasing blend of funked-up house, tech-house and straight up techno has earned him more than a few loyal followers as has his roles over the years as DJ, producer, remixer, radio show host and event organizer and promoter.

As a producer and he has been making waves with well received releases on Toronto’s Dirty Deluxe Records and Generation Recordings, Chicago’s Flapjack Records and UK based Kitsam/4Kenzo Recordings as well as Italy’s Musictracx Recordings. A sound engineer by education, Damian’s studio productions have been supported by the likes of Mastiksoul, Carlo Lio, Eric Entrena, Eddie Halliwell and Paul Woolford to name a few lending proof to Damian’s increasing relevancy in the future of dance music.

With more studio releases lined up on a number of labels and an increasingly busy DJ schedule Damian Definite continues his rise on the international dance music scene.

Thanks everyone for making the first Music at Night a huge success. A huge thank you to Subfractal for making an amazing set. The full two hours is now available for download in the “Past Shows” section of the website. Next month the show will air Monday June 28 at 2:00pm with special guest OVI M.

Ovi M delivers the ultimate combination of pounding beats and crowd manipulation through his music to effectively orchestrate strong energy on the dance floor. His brand of house music is fueled by rich dirty baselines, underground sounds, and killer riffs. Although Ovi M’s primary genre of music is underground tech house/techno, he is confident playing right across the board, from minimal to tribal. Ovi M’s particular track selection & unique style has now begun to ricochet throughout the scene thus making his name more recognizable and in demand.

Ovi M has had the opportunity to spin in the opening lineup for internationals like Germany’s Lutzenkirchen & Italy’s Alex Kenji! Regularly he spins alongside Toronto favorites such as DJ Addy, Carlo Lio, Manzone & Strong, The Junkies, Deko-ze, Greg Gow, Joee Cons, YM, Jay Force, Cam Maxwell, Hatiras and many more!

Make sure you tune in next month for another edition of Music at Night radio on Digitally Imported.
