The Future
Big thanks to everyone who came out to support Deep Sea Fish at the Infected Mushroom show. What a wicked night of full on psychedelic trance and a vibe that was fucking electric!
Big respect to all of the out-of-towners that came as well. There were people from Pittsburg, Buffalo, Ottawa and Vancouver (and those are only the ones that I know about. I’m sure there were lots of people from elsewhere too).
So this was two magic shows in a row for Deep Sea Fish: Juno Reactor last July and Infected Mushroom – both were a roaring success in terms of vibe and the quality of the performances given by EVERYONE at these parties.
For anyone who hasn’t tried to organize an event like these, let me tell you that there is a hell of a lot of work that goes into them by a lot of people. They are also very expensive to do and are a roll of the dice every time you enter into something like this. Infected Mushroom was the FIRST show that Deep Sea Fish has put on where we actually *made* some money – and again thank you to everyone who paid to make this possible.
Is Toronto ready for a proper psychedelic trance scene? One where we can bring quality acts like Juno Reactor and Infected Mushroom without losing our shirts every time? I think that it is but we need continued support from all of you who have been there in the past and we need NEW BLOOD! C’mon, this is some of the best fucking music being produced in the world! It carries with it hope and freedom and a release through dancing that is pure magic. Surely there are more people out there who would be interested in that!?!
The next Deep Sea Fish event will be on April 13th. We will be teaming up with another of the hardest working and respected psychedelic crews in Toronto, the Black Light Activists to bring you the Cross Link Tour with Son Kite and Llopis LIVE. I am personally very excited about this gig and I fully expect that it will measure up to the high quality standards that Deep Sea Fish parties have brought to you in the past.
I am not about hype – never have been, never will – this is about the best music, the best people and a kick ass party! We need your support to continue bringing you these events. So if this is what you want then please participate and help keep this scene growing in Toronto!
For those of you that are perhaps a little tired of psychedelic parties being mostly held at the Reverb, I’ll let you know that it’s not at the Reverb. And to shorten the list a bit more, it ain’t at Zen either.

Also, big congratulations to Hilary and Clay from R351570R for getting Rave Party of the Year 2001 awards in Eye Magazine – not a bad little pay off for all the hard work!
