About Bambii
PARTY/SOUNDSYSTEM Give up your phone lights for this ode to Toronto’s Caribbean heritage. The biannual JERK bashment/dance party, however, forgoes nostalgia by positioning dancehall in dialogue with contemporary modes of electronic music, like jungle, house, and garage. (All the while serving free JERK chicken plates.)

RWD << “Master T is very notable to me cuz my mom was actually on MuchMusic for a play she did,” says Bambii, whose mother, the former playwright Jay Pitter, is now a highly regarded author, placemaker, and urban planning lecturer. “People don’t understand how MuchMusic wasn’t just like MTV. Whether we remember it or not, that shaped our relationship to music in Toronto.”
FWD >> “The music industry at large will get much more interesting when it gets more multicultural and a lot less homophobic.”
