alot of them got into house cause of the dance style becoming which is a good thing cause its giving house music a image it so badly needs to stay alive...
wow why can't we just stop talking and just enjoy house music the way you like it and let others enjoy house music the way they want too.
I see all of them at many parties I play at some have made it to 200 spadina. ...maybe the promotion is not reaching them.
see here is the thing...the dancers in this video not all from toronto...and the ones that are do come out to house events...just because the dance has changed and things don't look and feel the way they used too...does not mean we have to hate...and I listen to kanye west tooo!
Fuck their tricks, man. For all of the nearly twenty years I've been throwing down in the Toronto house scene, the amount of times I've seen the Warehouse Jacks INDIVIDUALLY at any Toronto party, let alone as a group, is NEGLIGIBLE. And their crew is based in Toronto. Yeah, surprises me too. They ain't house!
These kids represent nothing but ego while the REAL spirt of the Toronto underground flies under their radar week in and week out. Fuck them and their breakdancing. :)
I'd love to know who you are since you speak for the "Real" spirit of T.O.'s scene. lol
The underground scene in Toronto WAS inclusive. It was RUINED by the bullshit elitist, holier-than-thou so-called "purist" who really know JACK SHIT about house music (or any music) and think it's supposed to only fit their narrow criteria, when house has always been MANY THINGS TO MANY PEOPLE, all moved by the music.
20 years playing Toronto? You should know better then.
so? At least they like house too. You ever tried DJing in the Entertainment District? Play a house track and watch the floor empty, only to have some miserable kid come up and request T-Pain. Dude. You got it ALL wrong.
Forget about the entertainment district. Nothing of any true quality exists there, and fully all of the quality parties, after hours or otherwise, are almost always on the district's periphery or well outside it.
Since you're in Toronto, attend the Back 2 The Underground party at 200 Spadina this Saturday (afterhours), if you didn't know about it already. Among the best quality party in the city.
dude... I love a hearty debate, but this isn't fun for me. I've been to and played 200 Spadina. I know the guys well. As much as I like Dan et al, it's hardly the "realest" house thing going on. It's just one of many house music things, depednig on your taste. But this judgemental shit directed at people HAVING FUN is what's left this scene in lounges on College and in dirty old warehouses with elitist head-bobbers. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.
really dude.. I'm disgusted. I bunch of kids having fun DANCING to house music at a time when most of the masses are listening to garbarge like Akon, T-Pain and Lil Wayne, and you shit on them? You obviously have an ax to grind with them, cuz based on your comments... dude YOU ain't house at all.
I don't object to their dancing. I object to the wave of kids that, barely a year or two into the house scene, either directly or indirectly claim authority on the culture by holding conventions, teaching in dance studios for a fee, live for the one-upmanship in b-boy circles.
What's clear to me is there's less a feeling for the music than a feeling for the resulting praise in being able to jack harder and jump higher. And this whole hero elevation thing is just odd -- Ejoe? Who cares!
and that's what you got from watching this clip? That's pretty judgemental, I would say. All I see are some kids having fun (and you can hear in the audience too).
There might be an argument to be made based on what you're saying... but to make it here, based on this video, I don't agree at all. There's veterans (DJs especially) who've been around 20 years and still don't add anything positive to the scene, so longevity means shit. Let ALL the newbies into the house scene. We need more.
No, the reason I originally responded to this clip is, for starters, to correct or at least address the perception that the Warehouse Jacks contribute anything substantial to the Toronto underground save for the occasional high-profile performance at places like Reverb.
Despite that, I know a mere one of their members who is a major contributor in multiple ways -- DJ, dancer and promoter. The rest I virtually never see at any party at anytime other than at events that showcase them.
Dale has done a LOT to save the scene. Or at least the deep house scene. If you ask me, it was all but DEAD after Roxy Blu closed... and was close to dead long before that. The fact that they are bringing the music to others and ENJOYING themselves is enough for me. Criticizing them is pointless, like the music snobs who go out to all the parties and just stand around the walls making fun of people dancing.
that looked fun
