By now you’ve definitely come across TOO LEGIT on Facebook - in short it’s the new Friday night at Buffalo Underground. Now, I could tell you it’s “Edmonton’s hottest Friday night” (kinda like, every other dance night, ever) but let me be real for a second and explain just what makes it so special:
This isn’t just a night run by Easy Love - not at all. In truth, Too Legit started when I got a call from Cobra Commander of Oh Snap!, who wanted to start a new night. Something different, somewhere that we could call home to all the music that we love that never quite fit completely anywhere else. Especially with the whole moombahton craze that’s finally blowing up (something that namely myself, Cobra Commander and P-Rex have been supporting for over a year), it just feels right to do something that isn’t purely electro and isn’t purely dubstep either. We all have eclectic tastes and Too Legit is our outlet.
I’m also genuinely excited for Too Legit because of the people on the bill. Cobra Commander’s been DJing since I was in diapers and P-Rex is one of my favorite local DJs ever. I’m not just saying that now, I’ve always said that and for good reason. The other cats all bring something different to the table - Jordan Andrew is an amazing young producer and can scratch like a demon, I can’t wait to see where he’s at in even a year. The Specialist kills the floor with tracks borne in dance but definitely laced with an urban flavour. And of course there’s the one and only Polyesterday, who is a truly a mature DJ whose tastes really do round out the rest of our selections. Put together, Too Legit is a hotbox of experienced DJs who have all been in the game for quite a while. These are dudes that I really look up to, and it’s more than an honour to play alongside them.
Behind the scenes, you bet we have a lot of ideas cookin’. Both Easy Love and Oh! Snap have booked countless shows and you can look forward to us pouring our energies into making Too Legit something special as well. Between having local and international guests, my favorite part about Too Legit is the spirit behind it. We’re not about egos, crews, or anything of the sort. We’re really there in the end for the music - after all, that’s why we even began planning to start *a* night together, it just serendipitously ended up being every Friday at Buffalo.
So if you’re as hyped as I am, show your support and come out this Friday. I won’t be playing every Friday, but in my place we will rotate amongst the roster of Easy Love DJs. Also, there’ll be some cool VIP cards coming out very very soon for the realheads who know where the party’s at so don’t sleep!
See you tomorrow night!!
