Vinyl Fantasy (Day One) | 4AM LAST CALL
Vinyl Fantasy is a 3-day raveventure with Eskei83, Joey Riot, Jimni Cricket, top locals, wild visuals & a boat cruise, Aug 29–31 across Toronto.
The weekend kicks off Friday at Wiggle Room.
- Eskei83 [Germany] – DMC World Champ + Drum’n’Bass wizard. Known for his jaw-dropping technical skill and explosive energy behind the decks, Eskei83 brings the heat to kick off his Canadian tour. Expect next-level DJing and serious bass pressure.
- Joey Riot [UK] – Happy Hardcore icon + crowd destroyer. From his early roots as our first-ever UK headliner in 2005 to now, Joey Riot has carved out a legacy of high-intensity, feel-good chaos. Two decades in and he’s more powerful than ever.
- Jimni Cricket [Seattle] – Turntablist, legend, absolute force. Mashing up hardcore, DnB, and beyond with razor-sharp turntablism, Jimni Cricket’s sets are a whirlwind of creativity and raw skill. A true underground icon returns to shake Toronto.
With local support from: Marcus Visionary, Six5tar, Scoots, Stella Maise, Flyboy, Tempest, Mixmaster Bates, Gunn, Hectik, Niikkii Tee & Kira Loxx.
Curated and hosted by DJ Dynamic.

And finally, a note from Timmi:
This isn’t just another club night. This is about real DJs playing real sets, building a shared moment that matters.
I’ve spent 20 years crafting nights like this. It’s not a hustle, it’s a lifestyle. With big life changes coming soon (yes, hints!), this might be the last Vinyl Fantasy for a while. So let’s make it count.
Life is a gift. Let’s rave like it. 💜
