The Indian Electronica Festival is hitting Toronto once again next Friday! Its been 2 years since we last held a session in our hometown and we're thrilled to be working with some great artists to make this an un-forgettable show!

This is a must-attend event for anyone in or around Toronto who enjoys electronic music as well as experiencing innovative uses of South Asian traditional artforms.

This time around, we'll be throwing the gig at Rolly's Garage - its a great space that is actually an auto-mechanics garage, though transformed for the Festival into an audio-visual experience with hung art, projected visuals and DJs.

• @ Rolly's Garage
  (124 Ossington Ave, just north of Queen st on the west side - MAP)
• Entrance: just $5 before 10pm, $10 after... (pay @ the door)
