TIMTHAYS 11 MIXES OF 2011
Please note my biased towards Toronto based artist, on one hand it’s what I generally listen to when friends and friends of friends shout at me, and on the other hand, damn mother fuckers from the 416 got crunk like a 19 year old student on mdma, living in Guelph.



MORE PROOF-FOUR ON THE FLOOR MIX/JANUARY
The mix by Toronto most notorious party starters unofficially marks the dissolution of the DJ collective we all have known to love. At under an hour, this mix of both exclusive and forward thinking tracks embody the true spirit of DJing by portraying a timeless and fun vibe, ignoring trends and genres.

RYNECOLOGIST-STILL THINKING PART 3 MUCK MIX 3/ APRIL
With dynamic stand out tracks such as the “ZZT” GESEFFELSTEIN REMIX AND “STEEL BROTHERS” this mix is also very clinical in the placement of songs and flow, between warm up vibes, to all out streakiness. Ryne’s signature audio excerpts are icing to the cake as this mix marks a new era as the Toronto veteran becomes a worldwide force to be reckoned with.

KEVIN MCPHEE-FUTURE PROOFING /APRIL
Paired with an in-depth interview with Fact Mag/RA writer Andrew Ryce; Kevin Mcphee brings to the table an array of exclusives and a powerful concept. Mixing garage, bass, soul and what have you all to bring an emotional and sometimes spooky vibe.

CADENCE WEAPON-FINGERS ON BLAST 20/OCTOBER
The Fingers on Blast mix series and blog have been operating since early 2011, the weekly mix series has featured a variety of different DJs from all spectrums of electronic dance music. Roland Pemberton takes his mix through many genres, subgenres and rap remixes; making this mix a confused hipster’s wet dream.

JAWS DA JORMUNGUND-RETURN TO DA PUSSY HOLE/MARCH
The notorious hypbeast pirate comes full force and defines a fresh sound in just under an hour. Tracks like the “LIGHT UP” MISTAMEN REMIX and BRENMARS “PAPER RUNNING” portray the balance between, grime, and deep-post-bass music/what have you. There’s a “Return to da pussyhole 2” I think.

JAY FOWLER-MIX 011/OCTOBER
A perfect slow burning mix that makes you want to quit your day job and make snow angels for a living.

SOUL CLAP-ESSENTIAL MIX FOR BBC RADIO 1/MARCH
All vinyl, all one take. It even includes some corny bio story and explanation by the two chill jews that we all love to hate.

RON HIGHTOWER-HIGH LIKE ME+IMPLICATIONS
The more than notorious party monster brings puts together a mix that even yo mama can vibe out to. Both mixes are genuine and perfect in every way.

TALE OF US-RA283 /OCTOBER
At under an hour, the breakout duo defines a deep sound but skips the hormones and brings forth emotions and storytelling to the table.

FRIENDLY FIRES may as well be one of the most important bands of my generation, individually everyone in the band actually has great DJing skills, they had these mixes only available to listen to on their official site. Single handily one of the greatest listening experiences of my life

(Obvious) Notables

“MIX 1/PAST DUE” by DAVID PATTERSON (WENZELL) – With no track list I didn’t even want to bother listening to this mix, I would just get furious that I don’t know these tracks.

“February More Proof mix” by GINGY - This mix marked the pending world domination of everyone’s favourite china boy.

“White Light 49” by THE SLOW WAVES – A breathe taking hour long original composition that will surely lower your heart rate and make you fall in love with your cat.

“FABRICLIVE x Jack Beats Loves Mix” by NEOTERIC - NEOTERIC shows us why he’s one of the most hard working fellas on the grind. A great rendition; of a deep house warm up to an uplifting elitist techno set.

“Live from the Hoxton 11.24.11 “by MEECH – “FREE” by THE YOUNG LOVERS is just one of many stand out tracks, great after hours vibes from da shorty.

“FINGERS ON BLAST 1” by YAHOYAH - My homie nailed it when just dropping tracks way before they became BPM TV “it tracks” much love.
