In this episode of BNB Hurts Podcast, we are joined by two of the Sleepless Events Co-Founders and DJ duo behind Deimos & Phobos, Chris and John. They have been responsible for bringing some of the best Trance events Toronto has seen post-pandemic with some of our favourite artists like Craig Connelly, Giuseppe Ottaviani and Paul Denton. They have also provided DJing opportunities to local Trance artists such as former BNB Hurts guest DJ Belinda!
Using their Sleepless platform they helped kick off their now powerhouse Techno alias Deimos & Phobos with their most recent performance opening up as direct support for Holy Priest.
The heart of the episode involves Chris and John giving us an in-depth look at what it takes to organize events from the cost, planning, promoting and execution of the actual event. Thinking of running your own events or curious as to why your favourite artist hasn’t been booked? Well this is the episode for you!
As a follow-up to BNB Episode 25, Chris and John also give their thoughts on the direction of the Toronto Trance scene and some the difficulties they face when organizing these events
Is the Toronto Trance scene dead? Is Toronto afraid of 138? Tune in to find out!
