The Bridge is an ALL TECHNO, ALL VINYL event series. Its purpose is to preserve the art of mixing real records, maintaining a cultural connection between major North American cities, and beyond. The artists for this edition are: CRAIG GONZALEZ (Interdimensional Transmissions | Detroit) The Bridge is thrilled to welcome Detroit’s own Craig Gonzalez back to the basement. Hip hop perked the interest of Detroit’s Craig Gonzalez to vinyl at a young age, and underground parties in the 1990s soon catalyzed a lifelong fascination with DJing. Inspired by versatility, his self-taught techniques have grown from weaving rhythmic layers into powerful, personal narratives. Influenced by Mike Huckaby’s depth and the hypnotic craft of Donato Dozzy, Gonzalez has honed his own style from a global network of like-minded artists. Family, history, and culture that surrounds electronic music have been key to his deep sensibilities, which translate seamlessly across a dance floor. RYAN KING (Complexity) Originating from the southern hemisphere, Ryan is probably one of Toronto’s best kept secrets. A great selector and skilled turntablist Ryan is one of the creative minds who forms the trinity behind Complexity events. Looking forward to once again hearing his intricate selections at The Bridge. VALIS b2b MARIVS Well this is where modern meets classic. Valis is a relatively newer figure of the Torontonian techno landscape but don’t be fooled by his young age. His undeniable talent has put him on the stage for techno promoters such as Paradox, Format and Kaleidoscope. Marivs will join the force with his skills that have been honed over his 25 year tenure as a vinyl DJ.
