Sport Mode

Built in a morning, with everything being repurposed after the fact. It was a pleasure to play in this beautiful booth @dhk.architects !! 📍@designyyj launch party at @cantubathrooms

Sooooo about LAST WEEKEND… ☕️🪩👯‍♀️🧡✨ When was the last time your life felt like a movie? Specifically the part at the very end— right before the credits start rolling— where the whole cast is dancing together because the characters are finally through the ups and downs and get to live happily ever after?… WELL, that was last Saturday for me, and I imagine everyone else’s who was able to attend @simonsaysvic first Coffee Rave held at @deeranddoughbakery in Victoria ⚡️🍪 I got to see friends IRL and made some new ones! We danced with ladies who knew how to salsa and started a conga line that the entire dance floor joined!! I felt completely in the moment and only picked up my phone to quickly capture these moments!! Nothing will ever replace human connection 🤝 The further we get with technology, it only becomes more abundantly clear that we NEED EACH OTHER and we will NEVER STOP NEEDING EACH OTHER I am so proud of @camrynmajander for continuing to create these oh soooo vital opportunities with Simon Says for real life community to thrive 🌟 Know that every time I share her events it’s because they have changed my life for the better!! BIG shout out to @djsportmode for the absolute VIBES! 🦋 And another shout out to @oreopig and @authenticallyrubes who completely tore it UP on the dance floor (video for reference) I got an iced marble mocha that comes with espresso whip on top for anyone who’s curious!! 👌🏼👌🏼 #lilthingsproj #victoriabc #yyj #yyjevents #community

Plywood, Reimagined 🎧✨ At this year’s launch party, @dhk.architects puts an unexpected material front and centre. This low-waste installation transforms stacked plywood sheets into a bold architectural feature—celebrating their strength, scale, and simplicity. Using a clever track and wedge system, the structure stays clean and fully reusable, with all materials returning to use by @westisleindustries after the event. Illuminated by @cdm2lightworks , the installation frames the DJ booth where @djsportmode will be setting the vibe for the night. It’s resourceful, refined, and ready to dance around. 📅 Date: Thursday April 30, 6–11 PM 📍 Location: CANTU Showroom — 1807 Store St., Victoria 🎟️ Tickets on sale: designvictoria.ca

mixing house music will always be my great love, but my sensibilities extend much further than that and I am finding an increasing amount of joy playing a myriad of genres at all sorts of events (especially for momentous occasions!). at the end of the day, I just like being a ~vibe shepherd~, in whatever form that takes. if you’re looking for a DJ for your wedding, soirée, or gala, hit me up. sport mode, at your service !! big thanks to @kylejoinsonphoto for this lovely shot at the @fourframesphoto 15th anniversary party last week 🌴

I’ve played the @luckybaryyj stage in multiple formats over the years, but this was my first time as a DJ. A true honour to open for live techno legends @righteousrainbows , and to hear @lachuparosamusic bring the heat !! 📷 - @mcunite
