THE BEST LITTLE HOUSE BASH IN CANADA is an upstart promotions company developed from several years of traveling the continent and seeking out some of the best and truest party vibes to be found. It is a direct response to the proliferation of 'Big Festival EDM'. By bringing the most talented, experienced, and level-headed DJs into an intimate bar not club environment, it's time once again to lighten up and let the good times roll!
Not very many artists are capable of launching such a night, and for THE BEST LITTLE HOUSE BASH IN CANADA there was really just one:
DJ GARTH currently based in Los Angeles and pulling double-duty between his in-demand DJ gigs and his burgeoning acting career makes a rare and most apropos appearance during the Toronto International Film Fest.
Space will be very limited for this one in keeping with the intimate vibe policy so buy your tickets early!
To get more acquainted with DJ Garth, your music selector for September 16th, check out the following:
Garth is a pioneering DJ who rose to prominence with the Wicked Sound System. He is credited widely with both defining and capturing the sound of San Francisco's Acid House movement in the 1990s. As a recording artist he has produced more than 50 records, the bulk of which can be found on his Grayhound & Golden Goose labels.
Garth, a film actor and DJ, cut his teeth with the Wicked Sound System in San Francisco. Parties with his stamp include his All Night Long Loft parties, a coveted ten year residency at Come Unity, twenty five years with the Wicked Sound System and since 2005, Back2Back with right hand man Jeno. His sound is a radical fusion of Acid House, Space Disco & Psyche Rock.
Bringing UK sound system culture to San Francisco in 1991, Wicked's lawless full moon beach parties ushered in an era of Acid House hysteria that ripped through the west coast and spread into the heartland. Wicked are credited widely with kick-starting the City's rave scene in the early 90's, cementing its reputation as the red headed step child of Disco.
Scoring a Tony Andrews designed Turbosound rig, they toured in a '47 Greyhound bus whose previous owners were a gospel choir hitting the road to spread their own gospel across the States. Wicked was the pioneering sound system at Burning Man in 1995.
They brought the best DJs the world had to offer to San Francisco including the first time Bay Area performances of House/Disco luminaries like Tony Humphries, DJ Harvey, Louis Vega, Francois K, Joe Clausel, Roger S, Robert Owens, Stacy Pullen, DJ Pierre and K Alexi.
Garth holds court at many of the world's best nightclubs including Eleven, Mago, Gold, Yellow, Townsend, 1015, The Roxy, Twilo, Fabric, The End, Horsemeat Disco, Sublevel, Thirtynine Hotel, Rex, Room, Lux & Zouk. He has been voted amongst America's top DJs in Urb, XLR8R and DJ Magazines. For many years he pioneered all night Dub sets on the only renegade system permitted at Reggae on the River where Jamaican legends Mikey Dread and Junior Reid stopped by the bus to rock the mic.
The same bus provided inspiration for a record label. Since '98 Grayhound has released 50+ singles documenting an edgier West Coast sound. Artists include Wicked (Garth, Markie, Jeno & Thomas), Rocket, Perry Farrell, ETI, DJ Harvey, The Glimmers & Ray Mang, Darryl Pandy, Michoacan, DJ Rasoul, Nectar, Stranger, Steve Kotey & EBE. Many recording artists launched their careers on the label.
His breakout anthem with E.T.I. 'Twenty Minutes of Disco Glory' shook things up internationally, praised by Muzik Magazine as one of the best dance singles of '96. Since then he has produced 60 records under various pseudonyms working with Anthony Mansfield, Eric James (Rocket), Rob Doten (Crosstown Traffic) and Markie Mark or Jeno (Wicked). His remixes include Freeland, The Units, Faithless, Halo Varga, The Glimmers, Rob Rives, Dada Munchamonkey, Perry Farrell (Janes Addiction), Yabby You, Mutabaruka and Tribe Called Quest.
He has compiled and mixed albums for Om, NRK, Thrive & Grayhound. Grayhound productions have been licensed to countless DJ mix CDs and Garth's music can be found in two films - SF rave flick 'Groove' and Gus Van Sant's 'Speedway Junky'.
Since 2007 he and collector/dealer James Glass have been waving the flag for Golden Goose re-edits, raiding their record collections & respectfully placing Disco/Rock obscurities under the knife as King & Hound.
Remaining true to the original art form, he can be found playing all-vinyl sets out in Hawaii, Japan, Fiji, Korea, Spain, England, Greece, Portugal, France, Belgium, Germany, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Thailand, even Indonesia and Malaysia, turning parties out upon request.
