Hot track alert

DJ Deko-ze and producer Gavin Bradley have teamed up to record “Explosive,” one of the best house tracks I have heard in ages. The musical talent in Toronto is nothing short of astounding these days and I urge you all to check out this gem of a track, which is available on Deko-ze’s new mix CD, Canada’s Finest House, which also features the extraordinary talents of Cajjmere Wray, Hatiras and deadmau5. “Explosive” is also available digitally, exclusively on Beatport.com.

The Toronto launch for Canada’s Finest House is Fri, May 2 at Footwork (425 Adelaide St W) wth Deko-ze, Nik Fiorucci, Joey Seminara and Camille Douglas.
