A few years ago, Jaime was djing at the Glass Candy/ Chromatics/ Crystal Castles show at the Boat in Toronto. The playlist was a cross of disco/ italo/ house/ weird new wave/ pop's odder moments/ psyche ... you get the gist. A heady and dark mixture. Will came up to Jaime and said "Hey we should play disco together!". Jaime was happy to oblige (because she loves Will and thinks he has thrown some of the best parties she's been to in the past 10 years), and together they created the Seventh Heaven Dream Disco in August of 2006.
We like the sensual, the luxurious, the idiosyncratic, the mysterious, the raw ... music that will take you from the dazzling neon disco lights and send you across the galaxy, set you down under the stars on some faraway beach dancing and drinking by the fire, guide you under the streetlights of a foreign city late at night, and eventually tuck you in around twilight, where it will stay with you in that half dream state, somewhere between conscious and unconscious ...
