TITLE: Syrous #08 - ' Empire Strikes Back '
LOCATION: Old Liberty Street Plant DATE: May 6th 1995 AUDIO: Phantasy {A}{B} - Hype {A}{B} ATTENDANCE: 1600 FEATURED DJ: Dj Hype, Dj Phantasy, MC Reality MEMORIES: The venue for this event has to be my favorite out of them all. So much history with this warehouse. located close to the CNE in and around the old industrial area. It had to be over 100 years old. A single room warehouse with very high ceilings and a glass roof. This particluar warehouse has been used for many Music Videos and other film productions in Toronto. The event was so close to getting shutdown. the property was partially owned by the Police station located near by. To make things worse a Toronto FireMarshall showed up wanting to shut us down. He had been in a fire in the same building over 40 years ago in which he suffered burns to 30 percent fo his body! now how messed up is that. This event hurt us pretty bad finacially but the event went off pretty well concidering all the headaches that night. DESIGN BY: (concept) Chris Smart, (work) Terry Attached image(s) |

This was my first party. I remember getting off the shuttle bus to see a giant warehouse blaring bass across the fields around it; lights flashing through the windows. I recently sneaked onto the site of the venue and it is still standing; I do believe there are condos going up on the property. One of the best venues of the Toronto of old: tall ceiling, one room -perfect. Also caught the Atlantis party there, amazing light show. ahh the memories!
