Here’s an extremely obvious statement: 2020 has been a super fucked year, in a series of increasingly unexpected ways. (Zombie cicadas? Seriously? Go home, 2020.) Here’s another extremely obvious statement: Toronto’s Sylo is poised to blow up. Only that one we’ve been expecting. For a while now, actually. Already familiar to Toronto audiences thanks to […]

The defending NBA champion Toronto Raptors begin their quest to repeat on Monday. They finished 7-1 after the 2019-20 season resumed, and in beating the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat early on, made a statement that they very much deserve to be in the thick of the conversation to win it all with the Lakers, […]

First, Toronto convincingly defeated presumptive favourites the Los Angeles Lakers to spark a Saturday night filled with slander on the timeline. Subsequent recognition from major American outlets was interpreted as […]

The Complex Sneakers Podcast is co-hosted by Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne and Matt Welty. This week they have on the legendary jeweler Ben Baller who started his lengthy career in the music industry before becoming an early name on the streetwear scene. In this interview, Baller talks about sneaker shopping with Missy Elliott in […]

Ahead of the forthcoming release of her forthcoming EP release Opia, Toronto R&B singer Savannah Ré recently dropped her new single “Where You Are.” Following up on recent single “DVP,” this new single similarly finds Ré taking charge of her romantic situation. “Where You Are” sees Ré thematically navigating the emotional rollercoaster of a long-distance relationship, […]

We aren’t quite at the point where we can be back at clubs and restaurants in a way that isn’t weird. But until we are, we have a lot of work to do. As we see more call-outs and calls for accountability every day, almost every industry is experiencing a reckoning. For DJs in Toronto, […]

When Luguentz Dort was ready to face off against the Utah Jazz, little did he know the night would become extraordinary for the wrong reasons.   Shortly after the warm up, NBA officials were huddled in a tight group near the Chesapeake Energy Arena logo right before tip-off on the evening of March 11. The Thunder […]
