With temperatures rising faster than sea levels @freqz.k returns to the bottom of the ocean once more!
A prominent force in the Toronto and Montreal scenes MIASALAV has been a vital contributor to the city’s underground, playing key roles in forward-thinking collectives like SOAK, Combo Breaker, and Reconstructed Club, which she co-founded. Drawing from her roots as a hip hop dancer, she infuses her sets with infectious rhythms, masterfully controlling the energy of the dance floor.
grrlcrrsh is a genre fluid vibrarian with an affinity for sassy, sexy soundscapes. They are also deeply invested in community building efforts through Que’d Up - a Toronto based collective connecting emerging queer DJs with growth opportunities.
RATA seeks to dabble in melodic and unique sounds and textures, mixing house, European techno and some acid with Latin danceable rhythms and references to icons of queer culture. He sees music as an expression of gender and identity, a space where the union on the dance floor is totally a political act.
Together these 3 DJs are sure to weave a heavy-hitting sonic tapestry that will shake your bones.
