Our goal is to provide the atmosphere for a regular gathering that revolves around our love for music and the celebration of getting over the hump of the week.

Over the past decade, Jeff Button has righteously become a staple among Toronto’s underground music community. After moving to Toronto in 2003, Button found his way into the industry as a promoter at Toronto’s former Boa Redux after hours. Within a few years, he began his DJ career, holding residencies at many of the city’s influential venues including Mod Club, The Docks & Footwork to name a few.

With a sound that’s truly bound by no genres, Button’s mixes religiously bring dance floors to life. His productions have found their way onto labels such as Seaking, LoveStyle Records and Altus Project, while his skills behind the decks have landed him bookings at Corona Sunsets, The BPM Festival, SXMusic Festival, Time Festival and Toronto’s acclaimed Electric Island Picnic & Concert series

Secret Society Sessions - Episode 063 w/ Jeff Button

In the beginning of 2015 a new concept emerged in the culturally bustling cauldron of diversity - the City of Toronto. Secret Society Sessions - a weekly showcase of local talent in a radio studio inside a friendly dive bar - offered an inclusive experience where music lovers can come together on a Wednesday afternoon. Listening to an artistically curated 3-hour set, while dancing, drinking, dining and playing to the beats provided by the best of the underground house scene - the idea was well received by the community. The creative minds behind this radio show / social collective credit the compelling arsenal of musicians, producers and DJs for the success of this showcase.
After a year of amazing music and endless hours of live recordings, the creators of this project decided to release a compilation carefully selected from the works of the producers that have been featured at Secret Society Sessions.
SSS - The First Year is an LP featuring 11 tracks by the artists that have performed at this showcase. Similar in style but unique in production, these songs paint an intriguing picture of the diversity of Toronto and the quality of the art that is being created there. The electronic music scene is flourishing in the city and this compilation has been manifested to spur international recognition of the talent within.
In order to be able to do this we invite the local community to support the scene. By purchasing this LP you not only become the proud owner of a historic piece of the Toronto music scene, but are directly funding the artists and the promotional cost of a strong international campaign that will put them on the global map. Our goal is to sell 1000 CDs and by giving back $1 to every artist after each physical copy sold, these producers will get $1000 for the song they created - a royalty unprecedented in the music industry. The remainder of the revenue will cover the manufacturing, marketing and operational costs of releasing this compilation.

Tracklist:

01 - Talal & Zoi - Far Away @talalandzoi
02 - Borzoo - Steppes @borzoo
03 - Deadly Vanity - Moment of Perception @deadlyvanity
04 - Ted Kasprow - Let Go @tedkasprow
05 - The DC - Airwaves @djjeffbutton @tyson-2
06 - Sadeq+Salah+Fabrizio - Turonno @sonic_sadeq @salah @fabriziolamarca
07 - Mustafa Ismaeel - Endless Vacation @mustafa-ismaeel-official
08 - Mundane - Push @mundanesounds
09 - Richard Archon - Camouflage @richardarchon
10 - Simon Jain & Peter Damian - Torture @simon-jain @peterdamian
11 - Dustin Nantais - Underneath Is More @dustinnantais

Scardinius Recordings launches with this release and the intention behind this project is to put the spotlight back on quality and to provide an opportunity for artists where they can focus entirely on their craft and make a living as producers.

SSS: Year Two

The DC - What I Want

It has been a year since we released Secret Society’s first compilation album. It was a huge milestone for us, and a big achievement for Toronto, a city bustling with talent in the underground house music scene. It was a good reason to celebrate and an opportunity to learn and grow as a community.
In the past year we have restructured, realigned, and have created a plan that will bring these artists a widespread exposure. We are excited to announce the launch of Secret Society as a record label, and with it the next edition of our annual release - SSS: Year Two.

Collected from the original works of Toronto locals, this compilation is a showcase of the talent that have performed at our weekly collective: Secret Society Sessions. It consists of 10 songs, all unique on its own, yet complimenting the vibe, that we all know very well from our most successful event series.

SSS: Year Two (Promo Mix)

Tyson Lambert and Jeff Button met as 6 year olds who lived around the block from one another growing up in the small town of Dundas, Ontario. It was evident was an early age that music would be an integral part of their lives. Hip-hop would be their biggest musical influence while attending high school in the 90’s with artists like A Tribe Called Quest, Gang Starr, DJ Shadow, & Wu-Tang playing a huge part. 

Shift ahead to the year 2000, Tyson moved to London, Ontario which introduced him to the underground house music scene. He bought turntables, and began playing gigs shortly after. They both eventually found themselves living in Toronto, where both would make names for themselves as Producers and DJs. Tyson built an impressive discography as a solo artist while Button held down residencies at The Docks, Mod Club, Footwork, Electric Island, CODA and played The BPM Festival in Mexico five consecutive years. 

It wasn’t until 2014 that the duo began writing music together in the studio. They released “Get Up In It”, a deep house EP with the familiar hip-hop vibes from their childhood sampling the great 2pac and Talib Kweli. The DC followed that up with a release on the Australian label Altus Project. In 2016, they released “Airwaves” on Scardinius Recordings, becoming the top selling artists on that label to date. Look forward to more gritty original work from these two as they continue to break ground as artists under The Dundas Collective (The DC) moniker.
