Do you remember WEMF out of Toronto? Jon the Dentist does! 


WEMF was one of the early big-deal outdoor electronic music festivals in Canada and ran annually from the mid-’90s onwards. It was originally formed as a collaboration between Destiny Productions and Boscaland Records (Jon the Dentist's label) and was called "The World Trance Music Festival" but quickly grew beyond just a trance festival. 


At its peak it drew thousands, spanned multiple days, and offered a wide palette of trance, house, hardcore, goa-psy, drum’n’bass. In short: a key part of the golden-era rave / festival culture in Canada. 

In this episode, Jon the Dentist will take us on a journey through his memories and music of that festival and how it came to be.
