Starjunk95 | Toronto

Starjunk95 is the grooviest intergalactic radio station in the galaxy, and their Toronto show was pure magic. After years of listening, finally seeing them light up the Mod Club stage was unforgettable. From the first beat to the last, the room pulsed with wild, electric energy. Their sound — nostalgic Y2K future funk fused with shimmering city pop — created a fun wave of feel-good grooves that had the crowd dancing all night. They’re in the middle of their North American tour, with upcoming stops in New York, Denver, and San Diego for Niteharts Festival, so don’t miss it — this is one show you’ll never forget.
