Every rave is the culmination of a massive amount of energy, passion, and hard work. A truly amazing rave requires great music, good planning, and a fair bit of luck to come off right. But in every great rave, the most important factor is YOU, the raver. And that's why, every year, Nocturnal Commissions comes together with Embedded Entertainment to give you, the best ravers on the planet, a chance to really take charge.

So get ready ravers! You know what time it is! Toronto's favourite rave, the world's ONLY fully interactive rave experience, is back in action with YOU at the controls! It's time once again for TOTAL REQUEST RAVE!!!!



This FOURTH Total Request Rave brings you a top notch lineup like you've come to expect from us - international legends, local heroes, and the most promising up and comers, including:

BILLY DANIEL BUNTER [UK] - Can You Feel It, Honey Pot Records, UK Hard - 2 sets!

At the first Total Request Rave, we tried something that nobody had tried before. Truth be told, we were a little nervous that it wouldn't work out. But with top-notch ravers like Toronto has, we needn't have worried - and now, four years later, there's simply nothing like it. Total Request Rave is BACK - don't miss your chance to be a part of rave history!
