Olympics Part 3. The Quarter Final.
This day deserves its own post. Easily one of the most exciting and fun hockey games Iāve ever witnessed.
With the way the tournament ended, I guess Iām glad we had this game instead of the final.
After the game, we gifted our white hats to some Munich based Canadians we had met at the game the night before.
The celebrations carried well in to the night. The @bluescanalmilano was legendary and outrageously packed with Canadians. š
This day and night was definitely the perfect cap to our Olympic experience. šš¼
Olympics Part 2. (Most of) Milan.
Unreal times in Milan. Five hockey games in five nights, and some speed skating fit in to the schedule as well. We got to witness @ivanie_blondin win a Gold Medal alongside her squad which undoubtedly was the highlight of the week. šŖš¼
Managed to fit in some touristy things as well, including seeing The Last Supper, and always had time to sit down for some good Italian food. šš¼
Part 3 to come.
Always fun taking a moment to look back at the year! So many of these clips I totally forgot were even from 2025. It felt like I hadnāt done that much DJāing, but the footage says otherwise š .
2025 was a year of āunexpectedsā. From changing jobs, to rekindling things with @vhayterade (who I owe thanks for a lot of this footage), the Blue Jays run to the World Series, and losing a good chunk of my hearing in October.
The last couple months have been a rollercoaster, and of all the things that happened this year, 2025 will be remembered as the year I lost my hearing. Itās still early in the journey, and 2026 will surely bring lots of challenges as I continue to adjust. I plan to continue DJāing and producing, itās just going to take some time to get used to how it now sounds.
I also wanted to say thanks to everyone thatās reached out, or shown concern when running in to people around town. It means a lot and the support truly helps.
This all being said, Iām looking forward to 2026. Lots of exciting things on the horizon including a trip to the Olympics in February, and the World Cup early this summer. I have a lot to be grateful for and I try to keep that in the forefront of my mind every day.
I wish all of you a Happy New Year!

Got the crates locked and loaded with heaps of Christmas bangers. Itās the most wonderful time of the year! š
A month ago I lost hearing in my right ear.
Two weeks ago, I made a new mix to prove to myself I still could.
When I first got in to DJāing, someone told me that recording mixes is like creating a time capsule of what you were listening to at that point in time. As this last month has been the most significant change Iāve ever experienced, I wanted to make sure I put this moment in a time capsule.
Iām very proud of this mix and I think itāll be a special one for a very long time.
You know where to find it. āļø
And if you donāt, comment āTime Capsuleā and Iāll send it your way.
A few days before this party I wasnāt even sure Iād be able to attend let alone play.
Stoked Raveyard worked out as well as it did and I had a blast, even though it was an abbreviated set. We definitely took things to the next level with @stayvigilantproductions šš¼
Unfortunately, I havenāt had any hearing recovered yet, but thereās still time for it to bounce back so Iām just trying to stay positive and hope that it does. At the very least, I was happy I could still DJ, even though music doesnāt sound like it once did.
I donāt know what the future holds for me as far as being involved in the music scene, but I want to try my hardest to stay a part of it. Maybe this time in my life is when I need to stay more vigilant than ever.
