Sadly we have to postpone tonight’s event as Musclecars’ flights have been cancelled due to storms in NYC and surrounding areas. We’re already working on bringing them back within the next few weeks and will share details soon. Thanks everyone for your patience here and especially to all the artists dealing with this frustrating scenario. Please spread the word and stay tuned for new event and ticket info asap!
Standard Time invites you to a night of soul, disco, hip-hop and house featuring a stellar international and local lineup! Join Musclecars (in their Canadian debut), Roland Gonzales, Toronto Hustle and Pursuit Grooves as they bring that dance-floor heat!
Native to New York, Musclecars is a DJ / Producer duo consisting of Brandon Weems and Craig Handfield. As musicians, they equally share an admiration for the art form. Their desire to blend genres and express their appreciation for music is focused around their community-the end goal is to bring people together. This mission has led them to play some of the biggest clubs in the world, from their residency at Nowadays in New York, to bookings at Panorama Bar in Berlin. And through a regular stream of high quality mixes and multiple outstanding releases, they’re constantly turning heads in underground circles.
In 2018 they launched ‘Coloring Lessons’, a party that was aimed to add value to their city’s nightlife culture. While the party and sound is not genre specific, it is heavily focused around house, disco, jazz, and soul, embracing the musical elements of their black and brown ancestors. The monthly party's intention is to bring New York City's dance music scene back to what it was during the golden era of NY nightlife, pulling on a lineage of inspirational spaces, such as The Paradise Garage, The Loft, Body and Soul, and 718 Sessions, to name a few. They aim to spread the music and sensibilities that have been influential to them, and share it with a younger generation of their peers.
Having grown up surrounded by music from an early age, Roland Gonzales began to collect records as diverse as 80's new wave, hip hop, disco, ska and reggae. He was introduced to the sounds of house music in the late 80's which led to many late-night adventures in the budding warehouse scene. Roland has also promoted under the Assembly banner and with the crew have brought underground artists such as Ash Lauryn, Kai Alce, Omar S, Mr G, Rahaan and others to Toronto.
Mark Kufner (Toronto Hustle) has been a fixture in Toronto's underground house scene for the last three decades. He has released on some of the most respected labels in house music and his combined knowledge and passion for straight up house music has seen him play at many of Toronto's premier venues and warehouse events. Toronto Hustle also runs a vinyl only record label, Selections, with releases from Nick Holder, Black Loops, Kai Alce, Dan Only and others.
Based in Toronto, originally from the Washington, DC area, Vanese Smith aka Pursuit Grooves started producing music as a teenager to accompany the lyrics she was writing. She has been obsessed with sound ever since.
She makes music that is sonically adventurous, oscillating between moments of jittery tension and silky release, producing chopped-up basslines, woozy cinematic melodies and improvisatory funk in order to create a beautiful balance of light and dark, fragility and toughness, seamlessly blending deep machine soul, dismantled hip-hop instrumentals and heavy hitting, genre-bending dub.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on September 8th!
