We're about to get GLOWED UP with the biggest concert we've ever thrown! As part of our 10th Annual Festival, TD Echo Beach is getting touched by Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, Kaytranada and hometown hero Daniel Caesar.

There seems to be a pervasive attitude amongst reviewers of MSTRKRFT’s Operator which implies the reviewers are so long in the tooth they’ve conflated their own version of decade-old nostalgia with being derivative and stale. Besides being overly pretentious in their disregarding of this return to fuzzy electro goodness 7 years removed from MSTRKRFT’s last album, it seems they’ve lost the ability to let themselves go and enjoy the music. That’s just sad.

Instead of wasting your time reading reviews from old fogeys who are only capable of validating music they’re keen to describe as “challenging”, here’s a choice quote from the duo themselves:

We’re gonna make electronic music and dance music the way that we make punk music, or the way that we remembered being in punk rock bands.

Illusion from Beat Connection who will be at The Drake Saturday night.
