NO WAY BACK featuring Koosh, Danuel Tate & The Mole

In the twilight of the 80s the 707, 727, and 303 ripped through Chicago and house music was born.  Join us for a jam on the classic gear as we channel the electronic sounds of Chicago acid house.  As the Dells party classic proclaimed, there truly was “NO WAY BACK”!

No Way Back is a forward looking retro band.  Named after the classic anthem by the Dells, the trio pay tribute to the roots of House music.  With over 80 combined years invested in the culture of Dance music, Koosh Danuel Tate and the Mole each hold the deepest respect and love for the inclusive origins of House music.  No Way Back used strictly classic analogue gear.  Come to Dance! 

This event was supported by the Government of Canada, the Province of British Columbia, the Capital Regional District, and the City of Victoria.

Thanks to everyone who turned out for the "Avant Electronic Night" in the Inner Harbour.  And a special thanks to Atomique Productions for their exceptional job in putting this series together (especially amidst Car Free YYJ and the Phillip's Backyard Weekender!)...  and of course much love to our artists this evening:  OKPK, Monolithium, Battery Poacher, The Righteous Rainbows of Togetherness, Void Mirror, Consumer Report, Rhythmicon and Cascadia Sound.  We recognize that tonight's events took place within unceded Coast Salish territories.  It is our hope and intention that music will be what ultimately brings all peoples together.  <3
