CAFE JOHN brings the club scene inspiration of Berlin to life with an immersive 11-hour party featuring global headliners and Toronto’s latest electronic music scene.
Toronto is getting an insight into Berlin’s underground electronic scene, as CAFE JOHN brings his DAS IST BERLIN event to 309 Augusta Avenue. As part of his creative venture, natureBEAT, the event will transform the location into an industrial-themed rave for 11-hrs of electronic music, visual production and dancing.
The event will take place on Saturday, 14th November (9PM) and Sunday, 15th November (8AM), with a line-up featuring some global headliners, CAFE JOHN, SPADA and Giorgio Stefano, plus Toronto’s latest artists DEECEE & QUIM, LARA, BUSE MUSLU and SHYY KIM.
With a VOID sound system and cutting-edge double laser display, the event will be immersive.
As well as being an exciting opportunity to see a range of international electronic artists, the event really reflects the creative mind of Can Ferhat Caferoğlu, who goes by the name CAFE JOHN. Can grew up in Türkiye and started his music career in 2005. With a background in tourism, hospitality, and hotel entertainment, he developed a passion for electronic music and learned to make events memorable through strong crowd interaction, stage setups, sound systems, lighting, and production.
The main aspect of Can’s music is that it is not just about mixing tracks but making a connection with people.
In 2018, Can created Canco Events, and in 2020 created natureBEAT. This creative venture focuses on music, nature, creativity and people, giving a platform to artists to work together, experiment and grow their audiences.
Since moving to Toronto in 2024, CAFE JOHN has been getting more involved in the city’s electronic scene. He has played at DPRTMNT, REBEL, Wiggle Room and NOMAD. But continues to grow his own events and support local artists. His music style varies from indie dance to hypnotic and indie tech. This passion for growing artists is what drives DAS IST BERLIN. The event brings together international artists and local and new DJs to create new connections and opportunities. This really shows Can’s goal to create a more collaborative scene within Toronto’s electronic music industry.
Inspired by Berlin, DAS IST BERLIN brings together the music, people and creativity of the underground electronic scene.
