We've had a continual thread on the comparison of the Montreal/Toronto party scene and people have attested to positive and negative attributes on both sides.
What had been originally illustrated was the vast support system that a DJ can tap into in Toronto.
I'd like to know your thoughts, as a DJ, producer, someone involved in the local scene in Toronto - about your experience; how you started out, the positive/negative aspects, what has kept you here, has the local scene been of any support to you? What makes Toronto more valuable for DJs compared to other scenes? How do DJs from other cities/countries see the Toronto scene? What do record labels think of it?
It's clear that Toronto has a world-class DJ scene. It'd be nice for people to elaborate on their thoughts. Some of the things that seem like they’d be important, to me, are:
- Venues
- The local “community”: music/style interests, level of knowledge, commitment, attitude, size, diversity
- Opportunity: to get started, to get noticed, to learn and develop as an artist
- Support network: other DJs, producers, promoters, club owners
I'd really appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
Trillian
