Teen Daze
Teen Daze is the long-running, Juno Award-winning project of Jamison Isaak, a producer and DJ based in Chilliwack, British Columbia. Between his multiple aliases, a blossoming internet music personality career, and his busy family life, he finds time every once in a while to drive into the Big City of Vancouver and tap in with what's happening.
For his Vancouver guide, Teen Daze maps three rooms where the city slows down and the sound system does the talking, from a spatial-audio listening studio on East Hastings, to a DIY club carrying the torch for house and techno, by way of the Commercial Drive record shop he reaches for first.
Lobe Studio
As the idea of listening bars becomes a trendier concept across the continent, Lobe Studio presents a truly deep listening experience. They've got an immersive sound system, and programming that is aimed towards a wide audience of folks who are looking to go deeper into their live experience.

Platform 9
Vancouver has been going through a bit of a sea change in respect to club spaces, and Platform 9 is carrying the torch in a really lovely way. Great programming if you're into house and techno, great sound, and a lovely DIY atmosphere.

Audiopile
There's a handful of really great record shops in the city, but Audiopile definitely suits my taste the best. Loads of dance music for the DJs, served to you by a lovely staff in a warm and inviting space.
Teen Daze
Teen Daze is the long-running, Juno Award-winning project of Jamison Isaak, a producer and DJ based in Chilliwack, British Columbia. Isaak didn’t anticipate an adulthood of globe-trotting songcraft, but teenage exposure to iconic French house music videos cast a spell on him that still holds. Catalyzed by synthetic sights and sounds from oceans away, he patiently taught himself primitive software and recording programs, reverse engineering the heady, swooning horizons of the dance music that had permanently bewitched him.
