Measure Divide

Boiler Room. Thanks for riding with me, had the best time with all of you ☀️ Next stops in Europe! Be right back, Toronto 🌶️ 📍: @boilerroomtv 📷: @dwntwn.tz

There is something to be said, but I can’t find the right words. Amidst the air raids and power outages, all I know is that we have to continue to help and protect the beautiful country of Ukraine. It was a dream to visit Kyiv for many years, and it finally happened, with the cherry on top being a closing set at the institution that is ∄. Never would I have thought I would be traveling on a train for 20-something hours during Russia’s war on Ukraine, but I did, and everything that followed is something I will always remember. To the people I met these past 9 days, you’re all heroes, and I wish I could stay longer to spend more time with you. As for K41 (∄), that was something else; you really have to be there to experience it all. Thank you for having me, and I’m even more happy to see the event raised €5000+ to help the cause. Please continue to donate and help in any way you can. Every one of us deserves to have a chance to live a free life. Don’t let them take your light away from you too. Helpful links can be found in the usual spot.

Цього вечора на Backyard київська диджейка та учасниця дівочої формації «Fèminine», Anastasiіa Slutska (вона/її), транслюватиме цілісну музичну історію, розбавляючи літню спеку різноманіттям ембієнту та виваженим техно. Ми раді приймати вперше Measure Divide (він/його), артиста родом з Пакистану, який протягом останнього десятиріччя є рушійною силою техно-сцени Торонто. У виступах Measure Divide завжди відчувається грайливість та непохитна увага до деталей, об’єднана любов’ю до деконструйованого звуку. Другий дебют за вечір належатиме Svarog (він/його), українському музиканту, який виступав майже у всіх країнах континенту. З 2014 року Svarog не перестає створювати звукові текстури та насичені тембри, які змушують слухач_ок глибоко зануритися в танець або медитацію. До тріо приєднається Vera Logdanidi (вона/її), продюсерка та співзасновниця Rhythm Büro. Цього разу Vera Logdanidi гратиме паралельно першим зорям літнього вечора, випромінюючи футуристичне звучання. Розклад і деталі згодом! Візуальна робота: @awlust ______ Tonight at Backyard, Kyiv’s DJ and member of the female formation “Fèminine,” Anastasiіa Slutska (she/her), will be broadcasting a cohesive musical story, easing the summer heat with a blend of ambient diversity and balanced techno. We are excited to welcome for the first time Measure Divide (he/him), an artist from Pakistan who has been a driving force in Toronto’s techno scene over the past decade. In Measure Divide’s performances, you can always feel a playful spirit and unwavering attention to detail, united by a love for deconstructed sound. The second debut of the evening belongs to Svarog (he/him), a Ukrainian musician who has performed in nearly all countries on the continent. Since 2014, Svarog has been consistently creating sonic textures and rich tones that deeply immerse listeners in dance or meditation. Joining the trio is Vera Logdanidi (she/her), a producer and co-founder of Rhythm Büro. This time, Vera Logdanidi will be playing alongside the first stars of the summer evening, radiating a futuristic sound. Stay tuned for the schedule! Artwork by @awlust

May 19th // We’re turning TEN, Toronto! 😳 Join us as we welcome the visionaries who have shaped the genre’s landscape. First up, none other than Birmingham techno legend, Surgeon (@tony_surgeon ). With a career spanning decades, Surgeon has continuously pushed the boundaries of techno innovation. From his seminal EPs like ‘Basictonalvocabulary’ to his pioneering live performances, Surgeon’s influence on electronic music is immeasurable. On co-headliner duties is Oscar Mulero (@oscarmulerooficial ), a stalwart of Spain’s techno scene. Renowned for his raw, evocative soundscapes and uncompromising dedication to the craft, Mulero’s sets are a masterclass in techno exploration. For this occasion we also invited a third international artist, Adriana Lopez (@adrianalopezmusic ), who is making her long-awaited debut in Toronto. Known for her hypnotic and driving techno, Adriana has garnered acclaim worldwide for her releases on labels like PoleGroup, Semantica and Stroboscopic Artefacts. Supporting duties enlisted by our residents and hometown favorites, AADJA (@aadja ) and Measure Divide (@measuredivide ). We’re ready for a night of unparalled sonic exploration. We hope you are too. 🤍 Sound reinforced by Funktion-One 🔉 Doors open: 9:00PM 🕘 Address will be emailed to ticket holders day of the event via e-mail 📍 19+ with ID required 🔞 Harm reduction team on site 🧚‍♀️ No flash photography Tickets available via Resident Advisor 🔺
