HIGH FIVE 1 DJ Sneak, Josh Wink, Paolo Rocco @ Igloofest
DJ Mag Canada feels very lucky to be presenting this incredible night at Igloofest. When we scanned the talent lineup a few months back, we found no artists that represent our ideal sound better than the Chicago-inspired, groovy jackin house tunes of DJ Sneak, and the forward thinking, experimental techno and house sounds of Josh Wink. Named as “one to watch” in 2013 by the heads at the Point Blank school, Paolo Rocco is a Montreal-based producer who is turning heads in the house community with his releases which often include his own vocals. At Canada’s most iconic winter dance music event, we will be busting out our one-piece snowsuits and handwarmers to join you on the packed snow dancefloor and brave the elements with thousands of our closest friends - you! Igloofest has shifted to 4 weekends this year, and the other nights include talent like Sasha, Chris Liebing, Tommy Four Seven, Nina Kraviz and Pan-Pot... this one is absolutely packed with groovy music from start to finish.
EACH MONTH THE DJ MAG TEAM SCOURS THE COUNTRY TO FIND THE TOP 5 PARTIES THAT SIMPLY CANNOT BE MISSED. THESE ARE OUR TOP PICKS FOR JANUARY 7 - FEBRUARY 3

Brrrrr Fest, Toronto
BY JOHN MITCHELL
The electronic music world is booming with festivals literally around the globe, and though a little slow out of the gate, Toronto is no slouch! The success of last years Digital Dreams festival on Canada Day weekend has led the same organizers to team up on Toronto’s first ever outdoor winter festival, BRRRRR! Presented by Electronic/Nation In association with Uniq Lifestyle, Embrace, Destiny, Balance and Footwork, the event boasts a tech-heavy lineup that still leaves some room for the electro lovers. The heads will be able to catch DJ sets from none other than Moby, techno-superstar Dubfire, Magda, Justin Martin, Miss Kittin and Chus and Ceballos, just to name a few! Located at the same Echo Beach location used for Digital Dreams, the event takes place on the 1st and 2nd of February, and will have luxuries like heated tents to keep the dance floor warm and cozy! Sponsored by Bacardi, who have been involved in some of Toronto’s better big events through the years, you can rest assured this will be the first outdoor winter festival, but def not the last!
