About Us

A Toronto-based podcast providing opinionated guidance for all involved in the rave scene from the host to the attendees

Meet Your Hosts

Yikern

Trance, Techno, House, DnB

Lyrics in a song just sounds like a different instrument to me. That is how I got into EDM, letting it flow through you rather than understanding a song through its lyrics. Started not to long ago, and as all Toronto ravers out there, started the love through Veld 2022. I have learn much of the scene through various conversation with people I have met along the way, and trying to figure out how to give back to the community, many seek the path of being a promoter or a DJ, but with the niche of podcasting, my perspective changed drastically. Beginning to appreciate the craft much deeper and be in it for the music.
