If you don’t know CODES, you’d best read this post to get educated! In short, think classy nu-disco vibes that isn’t afraid to thump the speakers. Signed to Kill The Noise & DJ Craze’s SLOW ROAST RECORDS, he’s already responsible for some of the hottest tracks this year, just check this:
What You Gonna Do? by CODESHOUSE Based out of NYC, CODES will be making his way to Edmonton for a party that only TOO LEGIT could deliver. If you read my last post about TOO LEGIT and the kind of music we’re representing, you’ll understand why CODES will be our first show (with more on the way). We’re all about creating that party atmosphere centered around the music, not the celebrity of a “top 10” DJ. As DJs, we know our music and we’re out to invite the acts who make us get down to TOO LEGIT.
For more on CODES, check out his pages on Facebook and SoundCloud. In the meantime, cop yourself a pair of tickets for the show at FOOSH or BLACKBYRD (both on Whyte Ave). Only $7 because we’re not after your dollars, just your grooves!
P.S. Peep the minimix below to really get in the mood!
Friday’s at Buffalo Underground are now…Too Legit!
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!!

ACID GIRLS Mix and Tracks - THIS FRIDAY @ NEW CITY!!!
Acid Girls have been kind enough to share this mixtape and some remixes with the world, via their MySpace Page. Check them out below, as well as a pair of dope music videos.
The worlds of Dubstep and Electro will collide this Friday as Easy Love, Future Roots, All Blown Up and Oh Snap! bring you BORGORE (dubstep) and ACID GIRLS (electro) at New City!!! If you haven’t got a ticket get down to Foosh, Blackbyrd or Occulist (WEM) ASAP as the advanced ticket batch is almost sold out, if you can’t get your hands on advance tickets don’t panic as we are saving a batch for the door but you’d better show up early on Friday (doors 8PM) if you intend to pay at the door because this show WILL SELL OUT!!!
So if you haven’t heard yet, two days ago we got the message that DatA’s North American tour has been postponed due to a medical emergency. In light of this, we wasted no time in organizing a show with Dim Mak’s VILLAINS to replace DatA (same date, same place, same time). On top of that, we’re pricing this show at $10 for everyone! So you’re probably wondering, what do I do with my DatA ticket?
If you already bought a DatA ticket:
$10 tickets will be accepted at Villains
$15 tickets will also be accepted AND you will be refunded the $5 difference in cash, at the door
If you would like a full refund for your ticket, get in touch with us through Facebook or send an email to easylovedance@gmail.com with the subject line ‘DATA REFUND’
A bit about VILLAINS, look forward to everything you would expect from both an Easy Love and a Dim Mak show: dirty, dirty electro in a packed house! Ever since their debut in 2007, Villains have produced banger after banger, with remixes for everyone from DAFT PUNK to N.A.S.A. and even a full-on collaboration with CLASSIXX. Their latest EP “Victims” on Dim Mak will see a release this month, featuring remixes from DESIGNER DRUGS, 12TH PLANET & FLINCH, and TRUE PSEUDO. Check out the Facebook event page as well as their MySpace and Facebook group for more!
With that out of the way, let’s take a look at the long weekend!
Just $5 Cover, plus cheap DRANKS ($3 HIBALLS ALL NIGHT!)
I am sooo stoked for this one!!!
