Afrique Like Me


Afrique Like Me is a Toronto-based collective comprising Razaq El Toro, Martin Ses and Sonic Griot.

The collective curates musical experiences that celebrate art, electronic dance, underground and alternative music from across Africa and the diaspora. Afrique Like Me is also a pioneer of Eko Electronic, a fusion of alternative electronic music, funk, underground elements, West African music and Afrobeats.

Known for its event series, which bears the same name, Afrique Like Me started with an intimate after hours party in Toronto’s west end. The party grew into an event held in unconventional spaces, and is now a mainstay on the city’s social calendar.

The collective has performed in Canada as well as internationally, sharing the stage with acts such as Francis Mercier, Shimza, Kasango, Citizen Deep, AMÈMÈ, Keys N Krates, and Awen; at festivals such as Electric Island, Pride Toronto, Bloom and Lumaterra; and at numerous venues, including Drake Hotel, History, The Velvet Underground, CODA, Grand Bizarre and Soluna.

Afrique Like Me is currently working on its highly-anticipated debut album, slated for release in 2025.

Afrique Like Me was established in 2019 and is run by Razaq El Toro (Razaq Onakoya),
Martin Ses (Martin Ogun), and Sonic Griot (Anowa Quarcoo).

Trading Fours
+

"Trading Fours" is the term used in Jazz music when two improv musicians trade 4-bar solos back and forth in order to create a one-off musical experience. Longtime friends and collaborators Jon and Dwayne have adopted this technique (and name) and applied it to Dance music. Rooted in Jungle/Drum&Bass, then branching throughout the vast spectrum of Dance music (be it House, Techno, Garage, Disco and anything in between) Trading Fours aim to keep your feet moving and your mind guessing.

Maddmon


Maddmon, a Toronto-based DJ and producer, is a driving force behind the city’s dark techno fused with house music. His signature style—a fusion of bass-heavy beats, minimalism, and an edgy blend of house and techno—draws listeners deep into the groove, creating an atmosphere that holds them captive on the dancefloor. Sharing stages with top-tier artists like Whethan, Dillon Francis, AC Slater, and Matt Sassari, and selling out shows alongside MALAA, Maddmon has become a fixture in Toronto’s underground, with frequent appearances at venues like CODA, NOMAD, and ComfortZone. A visionary beyond the booth, Maddmon is the co-founder of the MVMNT collective, an innovative group setting the standard for Toronto’s underground party scene. His commitment to elevating the city’s electronic music landscape is evident not only in his live performances but in the events he helps shape, delivering experiences that reflect his passion for cutting-edge music. Maddmon’s production work has further established his reputation. His remix of Destructo’s “Techno” released on the Berlin based record label ‘Bunny Tiger’ has made waves, while tracks like “Let’s Rave” and “Black Swan” showcase his ability to innovate and push boundaries. With new music on the way, including the unreleased “Vision” and “Nothing Like You,” Maddmon is poised to continue evolving his sound, consistently delivering fresh, exciting energy to the global techno scene. This is only the start of his journey as he continues to break new ground.”
