Good times last night! Despite the fact that most people (myself included) do not have a holiday today, the turnout was still pretty good.
Got there at around 11:00, caught the end of Dave Saddler's set, which I was diggin. It's nice to hear him gradually entering nu school territory. Then D-Monic was next. His set was pretty good as well. Hyper went on at 1:00, and was dropping some serious bombs! For the first 45 minutes or so of his set, I think I only recognized one single track, which is pretty good seeing as I work in a record store. The first half of his set was absolutely sick! The second half was pretty good as well, but I guess he exausted his supply of promos and dubplates and was playing more of the crowd favourites. The crowd was definitely into it though, which is the bottom line. Up next was Freq Nasty who I had the pleasure of talking to for a bit prior to his set. His hair is just insane. You really have to see it in person to fully appreciate the girth of his dreads. Anyway, he was playing shit all over the map. I definitely did not expect him to play as much funk as he did... but I guess someone tipped him off about Toronto's infatuation with funky breaks. The crowd was definitely more into Freq's set than Hyper's due to the added funk factor. I missed Chu's set cuz I was too tired to stick around, and I had to be up for work n' stuff... All in all, good times were had.
I was quite impressed with the crowd last night. There were a lot of hardcores out who had to be up early this morning, yet they still made it out and represented. I can't wait for the next breathe breaks event which will be on a Friday this time. The line up of upcoming breathe events looks utterly insane! Respect.
