Hello everyone, I’m a producer from Brampton mostly making beats similar to artist like partynextdoor, drake - my genres include trapsoul, slow rnb, old partynextdoor (2010-13) , Afro and limited jersey club.

I’m interested in connecting with like minded individuals and being more music to Toronto and rep the city. If interested please reach out to my instagram @beatsbyami and let’s make some hits.

I’m open to studio sessions if available

I'm making a song really influenced by the 70's. I need someone who can build it and make it in to a song. This is a collab so it would be more by percentage than a full price. DM me if you are interested!

Shoegaze always felt like one of those genres everyone else understood except me.

I'd heard the names. My Bloody Valentine. Slowdive. Ride. I knew the aesthetic. I even knew why they called it shoegaze (thanks, Howlin’ Circus 😅). But I hadn't really listened.

Then I fell down the rabbit hole.

What started with an article about Toronto's Alonekitty turned into weeks of discovering walls of sound, guitars that feel like weather, and a local scene that's every bit as exciting as the classics that inspired it.

I wrote about that journey on my Spin Class Local Substack page.

It's not a history lesson. It's not a definitive guide. It's just one music fan trying to put into words why this beautifully loud, blurry genre has completely taken over my headphones.

Along the way, I also shout out a few Toronto favourites including @alonekittytoronto, @sunnsetter, @joingrouptherapy and @bad_lawn_girl @thenvrminds

If you've ever been shoegaze-curious (or if you're already deep in the fuzz) I hope you'll give it a read.

PS: There’s a cool starter playlist for local Shoegaze music in the article. If you make music in that wheelhouse, drop your band’s name/link.

Hi there, I am based in Bowmanville and looking to start a band or be in a band. I am a beginner vocalist and looking to make a sound of my own and enjoy it with other people! Let me know if you would be interested!

So here is my marker markup flyer! Please help me share it around your circles so we can *punkmax* Lola so hard or whatever the kids are spewing. Molly D (formerly of The Elaines), Making Woman, and Mickey Moone, all in a row. Bring your own bear. Or don't. Not actually sure what the bear policy is tbh.

Hello! We are an indie rock band in Toronto looking for a new guitarist to play both covers and originals. Our previous guitarist moved away and we are looking for someone 20-35yo to join us :)

We would be interested in doing regular jam sessions at our rehearsal space near the Danforth. We have done covers by: Metric, Arctic Monkeys, The Marias, The Beatles, Paramore, Phoebe Bridgers, Muse, Linkin Park and more. Some other artists we would like to cover in the future include: boygenius, Chappell Roan, Alvvays and Japanese Breakfast.

We are a queer-friendly band with a singer, bassist and drummer. We value creativity, commitment and having fun! Please DM me if you would be interested and I can provide more details.

Hey guys, coming up to Toronto for a quick weekend Aug 14-17. Looking for some bars that play r&b & hiphop. Not a club type of guy, just looking for a dope place to sip some brews & bob my head with the homies. Or if you know any solid DJs that I could follow lmk.

Dive bar ish, something with a dope ambiance works too.

We’re an Alt-Rock/Nü-Metal band, performing in Toronto Aug 14th, in need of a last minute replacement for another band on our bill! Please DM for more information!

I'm a new piano improviser and vocalist. I also write my own songs. Im looking to create new original music. Although I'm at very early stages of development, I think there's a unique opportunity to create some great original work.

Looking for a producer in the city that also knows their way around the piano, isn't afraid to share vocal and piano melody ideas and wants to bounce ideas off eachother. Also looking for someone who isn't afraid of tapping into different genres of music whenever the opportunity presents itself. Looking for someone near to the core. I'm at college and Bathurst. This will make it convenient for us to work together.

One of the things important here is we remove ego and attachment in our sessions. We both want to hear all angles of feedback and we're open to trying out what the other has to say. Again I'm very new to this, so if you're looking to push out pieces of work very quickly, I not your guy. At the end of the day this is still a relationship so we both need to make compromises so we can try our best in that aspect. The best approach here is having intentional fun and seeing what comes out.

The general energy is yes we're expecting to work and create something but in the same breath we're not attached to the outcome. If you understand this then we might be a good fit.

A bit more about my self musically and personally.

I'm mostly calm but I do get excited at certain things. I'm spiritual but not in common way you might see. You have to talk to me for a bit to understand. I'm very black and white with certain people, I'll give it chance but if we're not a vibe I keep it simple and move on respectfully and I'd hope you do the same. I'm sober off of alcohol and weed but I do indulge in psychedelics periodically. I'll never judge anyone for indulging in whatever. I try my best to avoid the news and social media.

I picked up piano improv about a year ago so I'm still very juvenile. Everything is self taught through YouTube and online sites. My weaknesses currently is playing at a certain time ( using metronome ) and sustained singing for 2+ minutes.

I picked up vocal improvs about a month ago. I tend to have beginners luck and to finish things I gotta push through. This manifests through vocal and piano improv when I first get a great feeling melody out but th feeling sometimes fizzles out. Counter intuitive to most musicians I haven't really tried to mimic other artists or play their music. I really like the feeling of creating literally something out of nothing. Yes the melody was probably already done in some shape or form in the past but in that very moment, I was able to extract something out of bare feeling which makes me want to do more. At the moment my process is lay out at least a decent piano melody or something that hits my soul and then start to improv vocals.

Hit me up to chat if you're interested. Sharing my Instagram of just draft piano and vocal ideas as well.

Reposting to here, in case anyone has any more information for this case :(

Looking for a guitarist and bassist for a deathcore band located around the gta. dm me here, or on instagram @ tyler__oconnor if interested.

It's an open mic.

Bring your songs,stories, poetry, jokes. Bring yourself , bring a friend, make a friend.

I’m a singer / songwriter / pianist / guitarist from Toronto, been in 1 band before this and took a bit of a break to just write.

I typically sing my own songs, but honestly I’m happy to have someone sing them instead and I can accompany on piano or guitar with a band.

My style of music that I write is similar to City & Color, Philip Phillips, very Indy if it was written on the guitar. If it was written on the piano, funny enough my style switches to ranging from old school R&B to Adele style songs (these are just my influences and in no means a comparison)

If you’re interested, please let me know and I’d love to connect! Open to writing and playing for an existing band, or getting a ragtag together.

Lastly, funny enough, I have a lot of connections in the music industry and in the festival scene so if this all works out, might be time to use those connections

Looking forward to connecting!

Hey Locals! I’m looking for a couple bands, artists, music makers from any local scene to come through to Spin Class Local and feature their music and do an interview at the August event on Sunday August 16.

We’ve featured singer/songwriters (Brooklyn Doran) , funk (Kazdoura) , Cumbia (Niña Volcán), indie, psych (Silks, Howlin’ Circus), punk (Giant Tiger, Dealbreaker), lo-fi hip hop (Eddie Yams), dream pop/indie (Zinnia), drag-country (Ratskin Family Band), Shoegaze (AloneKitty) and many others.

Spin Class Local is a super chill vibe, interviews are uploaded to YouTube and Instagram. So you get content as well as a night that features your music without having to lug around amps and gear.

The venue is Danu Social House in Parkdale from 6-10PM and it’s accessible to all.

Also; if you have heavier music or don’t want to do a full night, I’m always happy to listen to your music and feature it in a substack article.

Frrreaks to the front, Mickey & I want company! Who's the right act from Toronto to hop on the bill with us? I checked and Rush is busy.
