Deniz is a progressive and electro house Dj and producer currently signed to Refune record (Owned by ex Swedish house Mafia DJ, Sebastian Ingrosso).

This Friday (June 7, 2013) Adventure Club will be destroying the minds of youth at Uniun Nightclub! They are a Montreal based duo that is greatly known for their dubstep remixes success such as “Flight Facilities - Crave You (Adventure Club Remix)” and “Yuna - Lullabies (Adventure Club Remix)”. I had the pleasure of checking these guys out at there early set at Ultra 2013 and they were definitely top 10 set I saw at the 2 weekend festival.
Adventure Club we salute you and I look forward to another epic encounter!
Going into the weekend we have two iconic Aussie's gracing Toronto who are none other than Nervo! It is really exciting to see these two beauties back in the great white north and you know that they are going to bring madness Uniun nightclub on Friday. We have all seen the raise to the amount of new and up and coming DJ’s hit the scene in the recent years but they do not bring up as much hype, sexiness and craziness as these two ladies. Watch them live, see how much fun they have doing what they do and with the crowd, it is amazing. In late 2012 they released a track with the Dutchman Nicky Romeo called Like Home – it is a wicked track and will definitely get you jumping!
Also happening Friday will see Chase & Status take over the small island of Barbados at Sugar Ultra lounge. I absolutely love that this UK duo is venturing into the island to spread their drum and bass and dubstep vibe. From what I have seen and heard so far on the island is that people are embracing it. I myself am not a big DnB fan but am very interested in seeing the mashup of the UK and island style they bring.

Union nightclub is gearing up to have its 3rd major Dutch DJ in the past 4 weeks. Fedde le Grand, ranked in the top 30 in world by DJ Mag, will be sure to blow the roof off with his own produced tracks and other house anthems. Fedde has brought us huge club hits like ‘Put Your Hands Up For Detroit’, ‘So much love to give’ and ‘Sparks’. Fedde will have the help of Manzone & Strong and Dberrie opening up to help set the tone for the evening.
There is also a huge party set to rock off at the Hoxton bringing you dubstep, hip hop and trap beats from some of the industries finest. Araabmuzik, Baauer and Samo Sound are set to take over the spot. Do your self a favor and watch a live set from Araabmuzik if you haven’t already seen him do his thing yourself with him; truly mind-blowing.
The last major event on Friday is being set by the Maison Mercier where Steve Lawyer the British DJ/Producer will be laying down techno, house, tech and tribal house. Steve has played Ultra to Ibiza and recently is on a world tour with VIVA Music. The mason will be sure to hit its 1300 person capacity this night as it will be met with Toronto has a strong Lawyer following.

Knife party has the ability to bring that wide range of music like dubstep, moombahton and house to the table that will cause for a disruptive and wild party. Nicky Romero is also set to hit it off, the 23 year old Dutchman known for Sparks and Metropolis has taken a meteoric rise to fame and sits at number 17 on DJ Mag’s top 100.
Sidney Samson the Dutch sensation is in Toronto set to Spin at Uniun nightclubas a part of there ‘Factory Fridays’. Last week a fellow Dutchman R3hab took over the club and Sidney is expected to put on a similar spectacle. Sidney is know for his electro and Dutch house sounds best expressed through his single ‘Riverside’. His artillery is full of big smash remixes.
Mr. Samson also holds a residency at Privilege nightclub in Ibiza during the club season that is renown for being the biggest club in the world (according to Guinness book of world records). His night is “Don’t Let Daddy Know” where he brings his friends who are big in the scene as well as the up and coming talent.
Uniun, in my mind is one of the hottest clubs in Toronto at the moment. They have all of their bases covered; the best talent, amazing light and sound system and the clientele that is sexy and fun. It is worth noting that last week they opened up for Saturday nights to expend their reach to the people. I look forward to seeing what the December line-up looks like but first I will gladly enjoy what November has to offer!
Toronto was in for a serious treat Friday night when all 3 heavy hitters took over Uniun Night Club. Manzone & Strong, DVBBS and R3HAB took over the second ‘Factory Friday’ hosted at the newly opened venue. M&S the resident duo opened the club in usual fashion elevating the crowd early on in the night.
As it hit 12:00 you got the wild woozy sound of DVBBS smashing the speakers and really energizing the crowd. The two Toronto brother, who recently passed 31, 000 fans on facebook, are becoming a real favorite of mine. It is more than a show it is an experience, the combination of cranking out powerful tunes and interacting with the builds and incredible atmosphere. It is no wonder that these two are opening for acts like Calvin Harris and sharing the stages of greats like Tiesto, Steve Aoiki and MSTRKRFT.
Then we had R3HAB taking the reigns and really getting deep into the crowds senses. You could truly feel his passion and participation in the crowd’s energy. He took people to a level and kept them there increased slightly and let them play there for a while longer until the massive drop hit! That along with the coordinated light system made it an epic moment that the club has not yet seen. R3HAB is on a world tour and is set to be a part of an epic New Years Eve party ‘JACKEDNYE’ in New York City along side Afrojack, Shermanology, Bobby Burns and Quintino at pier 94.
It is somewhat unbelievable that Uniun Night Club has only been open for 2 weeks now and it feels like home to most clientele. This show has been the favorite of the Factory Friday so far but there is so much more coming up that one cannot imagine where these next set of DJ’s will take us.
On Friday November 9, 2013 Toronto will receive a much-needed dose of R3HAB. The 26 year old Dutch DJ and producer will be playing at UNIUN nightclub along with DVBBS and Manzone & Strong. R3HAB who has hit the DJ Mag top 100 at spot number 73 is well accomplished in his field and is in the ranks among the best in the world. He has contributed to remixing for artists such as: Calvin Harris, Lil’ Wayne, Ne-Yo, Pitbull, Dada Life, Snoop Dogg and Bob Sinclar.
In an interview, Fadil El Ghoul who is known as R3HAB expresses "AfroJack helped me a lot. I was support act on his tour, he helped me with lots of stuff and advice. We did lots of gigs together, which was amazing." The industry has changed over the last few years and Dj/producers are not so much as competing with each other but are making an effort to collaborate.
DVBBS are not to be under estimated, they are a big-ticket item on this ballot. They are popping everywhere opening for huge acts such as Dada Life and playing at festivals internationally. They have a great sound and I look forward to the energy they bring to the nightlife scene. There recently announced the New Years Eve event “Golden” held in Niagara Falls Canada will be epic and will see them alongside Deadmau5, Chris Lake, Burns and the Scour Dj’s.
Uniun nightclub recently played host to CHUS+CEBALLOS and did an excellent job at making the duo feel at home with a packed crowd at the clubs soft opening night. The sights and sounds kept the party going past 4am and it is no doubt that the anticipation for R3HAB will be no different. Be sure to get your tickets now and arrive early to avoid disappointment!
