Best Of Toronto - Art
Best art party: Mind Control
There are so many art parties, but none so reliably good as the ones at
Mind Control .
Early on, it inherited the vibe of the Atlantis that was Art System,
rendering partying as art, a heightened, aesthetic form of debauchery.
Curator Derek Mainella and directors Shane
Laurila and Matthew Bennett have closed
the Gladstone Street space and will soon be
mounting shows in other galleries. Keep an eye out for Efficiency
3 , coming soon.

Top 10 Parties
BY Benjamin Boles
#7
- I GET HYPE
You'd think hip house would be a tougher sell in 2004,
but this series
of parties devoted to that brief time in the late 80s when hiphop
and
house crossed paths were a hell of a lot of fun, and sometimes that's
enough.

3rd Annual Holiday Gift Guide
DVD'S -
The Efficiency Show
(Mind Control Studios)
Imagine SCTV twenty years later with a dash of the post-modern, a hint
of the
post-structuralist, and a Count Floyd budget. This series of pilot
episodes for a
show too left-field for mainstream comedy channels but necessary for
insomniac couch potatoes is unbounded, underground genius at its
finest. Extreme
ping pong is yours to discover.
$15 from www.mindcontrol.ca

Music Vibes
Hiphouse pioneer Fast Eddie is glad he stubbornly refused to change his
sound.
FAST EDDIE CASHES IN ON 80S NOSTALGIA HIPHOUSE V.2
BY BENJAMIN BOLES
FAST EDDIE with DJ JES , DMT and BUTROS BUTROS GALI at Studio 99 (99
Sudbury), Friday (August 6). $10. www. mindcontrol. ca. As the
underground in the 90s drew inspiration from the 70s, the 00s have
similarly been focused on mining the 80s for new-old ideas to
rehabilitate. So far we've seen electro, new wave, Italo-disco,
industrial, no-wave, punk-funk and acid house getting a second chance
in trendy circles, and it's looking like hiphouse might be next. Just
over a month ago, Mind Control Gallery brought Chicago hiphouse pioneer
Tyree Cooper to town, and – necrophilic nostalgia aside – the party was
a brilliant, sweaty mess and shitloads of fun. This week they're
bringing in Cooper's pioneering peer Fast Eddie for their party at
Studio 99.

Fri, Nov 28. 7pm. Mind Control, 42 Gladstone, unit 5. Free.
BY DENISE BENSON
The galleries are alive with the sound of music. Club nights are alight
with art. Hopeful exaggerations perhaps, but it's clear that music and
visual arts are being merged with increasing creativity and zest in
Toronto and beyond.

NEBULA RANGERS
by Rojan Chinta
"Nestled deep in the Canadian Shield is Nebula Command, the Nebula
Rangers base. Nearby is a finishing school where princesses come from
all over the galaxy..."
 If that isn't the kind of series premise that'd sell a corporate TV
boardroom in Canada, what is? Brought to you by the crew over at
Toronto-based Mind Control Studios (the folks who brought you the
Kungol Nate art heist of 1999), the pilot for Canadian Nebula Rangers
is currently running on the Space channel. Written and directed by
Matthew Bennett, the pilot tracks young Nebula pilot Benma Mamon
(played by Bennett) as he's partnered up with crusty old veteran Davis
Laramie (played by Shane Laurila) to, well, save the galaxy and,
hopefully, some fine young princesses in the process.
