Thanksgiving Long Weekend

9pm-2am

The Downbeat Presents:

Carlo Lio (To.)

Mark Williams (Cal.)

Audiofox

We are unbelievably excited to announce, on the Sunday of Thanksgiving Long Weekend, the return of international techno heavyweight, Carlo Lio. He was last on the Island blowing minds at the second edition of Social Grooves out at Heritage Acres and he definitely left us wanting more. Calgary’s Mark Williams of Just Beats Inc., who rocked our opening night, and regularly plays with some of the biggest underground dance acts to come through Western Canada will be playing before Carlo. Rounding out the night we have Downbeat resident Audiofox playing an extended opening set. We love our opening sets to be handled by strong selectors who can warm up a room proper, passing off a popping dance floor for the headliner- so come early to see the whole arc of the night!
