Beat Bazaar

New market for electronic music fans coming to Toronto

Perk up, dance fans and audiophiles: summer in Toronto will now be capped off byBeat Bazaar, a day-long community music market specifically for electronic lovers, though promoters say anything goes.

From vintage and used audio equipment at the gear swap to a dedicated vinyl section, anyone can show up atGeary Laneon August 30 to buy, sell, ogle, and barter for synths, stereos, DJ gear, and records, records, records while eating, drinking, and dancing to eight live DJs including a headline set byBasic Soul Unit. It's like the old world spirit getting a techno facelift.

Table rentalsfor the bazaar are $25-40, but if you're just bringing a few items you can sneak in as a regular attendee for the flat $5 entry fee (a crate of vinyl counts as two items). Whether you're stopping by to dance, unload your treasures, or hoard, each entrant is encouraged to donate a buck toMusicbox Childrens Charity. OmNomNom Catering and homemade foods and baked goods will be on sale, and the event will be licensed. Goodie bags and a raffle will further sweeten the deal.

The Deep NorthandMislead Madness's Beat Bazaar will joinSummerDaze, Cherry Beach, and Electric Island in offering Toronto's dance music fans unique experiences in Toronto's warmer months (withOTHERLANDcontinuing into the fall). Thankfully this one's indoors, so rain or shine, your Moog scores will stay dry. Keep your eyes onthe Facebook eventfor more DJ announcements.
