Standard Time invites you to a very special birthday celebration for our very own Jayemkayem and Kiinjo! Joining us for the festivities will be their friends The Patchouli Brothers and featured guest, Seb Wildblood!

Wildblood has spent the last few years forging a sonic identity focused on transportive experiences. Whether it’s in tracks designed for the dancefloor, or in those more suited to headphones, the recurring theme across his musical output is one of subtlety and depth.

Hailed as “one of the most prolific figures in the UK’s underground scene” by DJ Mag, DJ, producer, composer and all my thoughts label head Seb Wildblood has long been revered in the electronic underground, counting fans in tastemakers like FACT, Mixmag, RA, i-D, BBC and KCRW to name a few. He has also released the likes of Chaos In The CBD across his trifecta of labels and holds down a regular radio slot on Dublab with a recent move to Los Angeles.

Celebrating 1 of 2 birthdays tonight will be our good friend and Canadian super-producer, Grandtheft, getting his groove on under the name Kiinjo! Blending all his musical experiences, past and present: the fun, the funky, the silly and the soulful. Kiinjo is a sultan of sampling and a luminary of loops, sometimes flipping snippets from his own previous rap beats. They’re sped up, chopped around and layered onto house drums – an ode to the sounds of Armand Van Helden, Masters at Work and the French Touch movement.

Also celebrating their birthday this evening is another dear friend, Jayemkayem. Since relocating to Toronto in 2015, Jayemkayem has established herself as an in-demand DJ around Canada, known for her versatility and the undeniable energy she brings to any dancefloor. Born in Birmingham, the sounds of UK garage sparked her interest in dance music and the affinity that has stayed strong through her own artistic journey will be in exemplified in full force and beyond tonight!

And we're excited to have The Patchouli Brothers launch the epic festivities with an extended early set! They share an affinity for the esoteric side of disco, house, and all other forms of soulful dance music. They hold down a residency at Beam Me Up, a disco night in Toronto & Montreal, and have had releases on some of their favourite labels like Defected, Nervous, Razor-n-Tape, Soundway, GAMM, Soul Clap, Star Creature, Pleasure of Love & Basic Fingers.

With a birthday bonanza like that how can you miss? Please join us in the celebrations on July 22nd – all are welcome!
