DJ MENSA PRESENTS "AFTER EFFECTS"

DJ MENSA presents AFTER EFFECTS

The sound of autumn’s arrival.

The transition from summer to fall can be very abrupt and sudden. One minute, you’re rocking your ball jersey/camo shorts combo for the tenth day in a row, the next you’re wrapped up in a peacoat and corduroys. WTF happened? 

Play this mix to help you gracefully  bid adieu to your hot girl/boy summer. Rooftop vibes give way to cozy R’n’B. 

The sun is fading in the distance. 

This is your gentle nudge to come inside. 

Now available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Mixcloud, and djmensa.com

APRIL 8: ALL VINYL EVERYTHING WITH MASTERMIND!!!

We started from the bottom, but now #ALLVINYLEVERYTHING is moving on up!

We are taking our jam to the heights inside the amazing NEST at 423 College Street!

Known for its outstanding sound system, NEST has hosted the world’s best DJs, and will be now be the backdrop for Toronto’s premier vinyl party.

Resident DJ’s Mista Jiggz, DJ Agile, and DJ Mensa will be loading up their crates with vibes of all genres and eras. Helping them bless the 1’s and 2’s will be none other than the OG himself: MASTERMIND.
Mastermind is a bona fide legend in Toronto's hip hop scene. His "Street Jam" radio show and catalog of mix tapes were influential in raising a generation of hip-hop fiends in the city. He was on the decks for many pivotal parties, concerts, and events that shaped in the city's culture.

Now a full time radio personality on The Move 93.5, it is extremely rare to hear him rock out on the decks. This set is absolutely not to be missed.

So get hype, assemble your crew, and flock to NEST this Saturday for #ALLVINYLEVERYTHING!

DJ MENSA JANUARY TOP TEN 2017

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE NEW YEAR'S WAVES OF MUSIC TO COME THROUGH, PEEP SOME OF MY FAVORITE TUNES FROM THE LAST PART OF 2016!

NEW MIX! DJ MENSA presents "LOW CEILINGS"

  

Winter is three months of constant enclosure. The layers that swaddle you. The limited destinations you can travel to. The snow that surrounds your every step.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, so long as you know how to freak it.

Winter facilitates intimacy. The toasty ambience of a good friend’s home is the oasis from the frosty desert. A beverage or two that furthers along good conversation. It brings people closer together and beyond.

DJ Mensa harnesses a stellar year in R’n’B to showcase the atmosphere of a winter link up.

A TRIBE CALLED QUEST B-SIDES MINI-MIX

A Tribe Called Quest already has the bulletproof discography, but there is a ton of amazing songs that didn't get as much shine as the big singles. DJ's held the heat because these rare remixes and collaborations were exclusive to the vinyl singles they bought.

For this #ALLVINYLEVERYTHING mini-mix, DJ Mensa explores some of the best b-sides, remixes, and album cuts Tribe had to offer.
