In August 2008, after a long hiatus, DJ Mensa tested out the waters of Toronto club scene to see if there was still a need for his brand of musical flavor. On a whim, he conducted his own “social experiment” and threw an impromptu jam mid-week to see what kind of response he could get. With minimal promo, the night was a success, and Mensa has rolled on with the name that captures the essence of he’s been conducting: a Social Experiment.

What has started as a hole-in-the-wall haven for the city’s in-the-know music lovers, has become the premier Thursday to hear those unearthed musical gems never touched by any traditional club night. Not for the fairweather or faint of ear.

To commemerate the occasion, DJ Mensa continues his acclaimed weekly ritual for friends and first-timers alike with a very special guest:

DJ Wristpect
2009 Stylus Canadian DJ of the Year
Smash Squad/Wristpect.com

The best out to do it right now is rolling by to throw down whatever the eff he wants. Do tell a friend and make an appearance, as this night will definitely go down as one for the record books.

Also the official launch party for WWW.DJMENSA.COM, and more surprises to come!

For everyone who has come through to one of our past 52 nights for a drink, a tune, a dance, and a jam, we can’t thank you enough.

Cheers to you, and see you on the 13th.
