Freddy Fresh owns. Really looking forward to this. Combine Krafty Kuts, Fort Knox Five and a few other top heavy hitters and you get Freddy Fresh. Mad skills.

I don't know what to really say about the last event...Insanity...maybe, mayhem, sure, complete utter debauchery...that's about it. Anyhow, it was rammed and was a hell of a night. Big thanks to D-Monic for a great set.

This month is looking to be just as good with an entirely new crop of Mixed Bag first timers, but who all come with the skills, particularly the one and only Phat Conductor. The details...

Hopefully our first event of 2007 was an indication of things to come. Thanks to all those who came out Jan. 5. Rammed and full of smiling faces it certainly was.

There won't be a better place to be in town on this night. HUGE

Tonight's the night

Buddy, let it go. All I'm saying is that 99% of the message boards I've been on have that feature. I consider it a proper or standard offering. Tribe, TorontoJungle, Tranceaddict, [ breakbeat.ca ] torontoraves, [ hiphop.ca ] [ vidman.ca ] etc, etc ,etc all have this. I could name a ton more. You don't have this feature, clearly you won't anytime soon, now I know how things work here and that's that. Thank you.

Look, I'm not trying to start a war here or anything. I don't have the time, nor do I really care in the grand scheme of things. Looking at some of my past posts (ie. the Lazy comment, the title of this thread), I shouldn't have been so blunt/personal, so if you took offense to the comments I'm sorry.

All I'm saying is that it's very odd that you don't have a proper message posting feature and only offer a "quick post" reply system. The reason it can be frustrating is that it is nearly impossible to tell how you encode the pages. ie. is your [size] tag a "small, medium, large" system or numbers "3, 9, 12, etc". I didn't notice an edit feature either, so if you screw up, you can't go back and correct it.

Please feel free to delete this thread if you like. I now know how this forum works.

Thanks,
Dan

Thanks for the heads up. Will be d/l for sure.

Read: Lazy.

Most message board software is precoded for these features and requires little to no effort on the webmasters behalf. This has been my experience at least.

I must be retarded or something, but where the hell is the "post new thread" button on this damn website (with full posting options)? Is the "Post New Message" box at the bottom of the screen the only one?

I post on tons of boards and this has to be the most confusing and user un-friendly board ever made (new or older version). Sorry to bitch, but it's really frustrating.

I'm sure I'll get bashed to shit with this post, but you must agree.

Thanks for the comments!

It's been a while, so I thought I'd throw together a mix for the summer. This one is back on the liquid funk tip, so if you were a fan of Ladies Night, Testament, Antithetic, etc, you'll likely be feeling this one. It's chalk full of the latest tunes and a few forthcoming. As always, feedback (good or bad) is highly encouraged and welcomed. More sets available on my website or myspace.

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer!
Dan

This is the same Doublecross. Rob played liquid in the past and is now more into the reggae vibe.

3 more days!

Dan

With yet another successful month, Mixed Bag is on fire and the July line-up is bringing some special guests out of Dj hibernation to keep things going strong. Doublecross will be touching down, not with the liquid, but on the reggae tip. We also have Tribe's very own Basketball Jones dropping an old school funky breaks set alongside MB residents Baby K and myself. The details....

This Friday's the night!

The night has officially taken off! Last month's was great and this next one is going to be better. This month's special guest is Dave Saddler. Dave is digging through the crates and pulling out all of his best oldschool funky breaks jams to lay down on the 2nd. Patio is in full effect once again and this time I'll ensure the beats are heard in the back. And now, the official details...

Tonights the night. Be sure to check it out.
Dan

The first one was a big success and hopefully this one will be the same. For the second installation of Mixed Bag, we're travelling down the road of brokenbeats in the form of Trip-Hop and Hip-Hop. As usual the night will kick-off with downtempo and end with liquid funk. This month's special guest is Dj Vision from CKLN. And now for the details...

On Friday May 5th join us for Toronto's only downtempo & breakbeat monthly. A night of escalating tempo in a laid back, mature environment. No cover, smooth beats, a drink menu spanning martinis to pints, lounge, dancefloor and a nice patio...there's not much else to ask for. Unwind on May 5th.

How It Works: Every night starts with Downtempo and ends with Liquid Funk. The set in between will change every month, from breaks, hip-hop, reggae, nu-jazz, electro or dub. A different Dj and a different genre.
