We are super excited for our newest guest mix, Institution 058: Jake Flaherty (Toronto).

We have had the absolute pleasure of meeting Jake on more than one occasion. Awesome human. Jake is a joy to watch live. His smile is infectious, and his passion shows through in how he plays. We asked him a couple of questions:

Institution: Jake, who was your biggest influence, musically?
JF: My biggest influence is undoubtedly John Digweed. I've spent countless hours listening to his sets and I travel the world to see him as often as I can. He has taught me everything I know about what it means to properly program a set and the importance of trying to think several tracks ahead. He famously said "The most important thing is how you program and how you choose your records. That really does sort out who is a good DJ and who is just playing records," and that has really stuck with me. I try to live up to that as best as I can. 

Institution: What was your biggest career moment?
JF: My biggest career moment to date was playing a sold-out party at Coda on October 9, 2021. There was a lineup down the street by 10PM and the house was absolutely rocking by 10:30. I was opening and I knew that my job for the night was to warm things up - but I was able to open things up a bit at the end of my set. The house lights came up and I was able to finally see just how full the room was - and that's when all the hours I've spent on this hobby of mine all came together.

This one is made for dancing. Turn it up.
