Top 5 Places to Find a DJ in Toronto (2025 Edition)
Toronto’s nightlife is thriving in 2025, with a scene that caters to every taste — from high-energy hip-hop parties to sleek Latin lounges and cutting-edge house music spots. If you’re looking for the best places to catch a DJ who knows how to move the room, here are five venues that consistently deliver unforgettable nights.
1. Lost and Found
Vibe: High-energy hip-hop, R&B, and bottle service culture.
Lost and Found is one of Toronto’s most famous nightlife destinations, and it’s been name-dropped by none other than The Weeknd in the track Drinks On Us (“see the Lost and Found girls every Monday”). Mondays and Saturdays are the big nights, with a crowd that blends nightlife regulars, celebrities, and partygoers who are ready to dance until the lights come on.
When I’m on the decks here, I mix the latest hip-hop hits with classics and genre-crossovers that keep the energy high. It’s a must-visit if you want the true Toronto hip-hop club experience.
2. Escobar
Vibe: Latin-infused nightlife with a Toronto twist.
Tuesdays at Escobar have become a go-to for people who want a mix of reggaeton, dembow, Latin house, and even some hip-hop and afrobeats. The space has an intimate, upscale speakeasy feel — it’s the kind of spot where you can dance all night but also enjoy the atmosphere.
As a DJ, I love Escobar because it’s a place where the crowd is open to exploring new sounds. You might hear Bad Bunny one minute, then a deep house drop the next, and it all flows naturally.
3. DND Toronto
Vibe: Pure house music in all its forms.
If you’re into afro house, tech house, amapiano, baile funk, or deep house, DND is where you want to be. It’s one of Toronto’s newer spots focusing almost exclusively on house genres, creating a very specific and passionate music environment.
When I play here, it’s all about building a journey, taking the crowd from smooth grooves to big, percussive drops that fill the room. D&D isn’t just another club, it’s a place for real house heads.
4. Cabana Pool Bar
Vibe: Day parties with waterfront views.
Cabana is Toronto’s legendary summer party destination, complete with cabanas, bottle service, and a view of the skyline that’s unmatched. The music here is a mix of hip-hop, dancehall, soca, and feel-good summer hits.
I’ve had the chance to DJ here alongside major artists like Fabulous and Saweetie, and the atmosphere is unbeatable. If you want the ultimate daytime party in Toronto, this is it.
5. Private & Special Events
Vibe: Tailored to the moment.
Toronto’s best DJs aren’t just in clubs, you’ll also find them at private events, pop-ups, and corporate parties where the vibe is customized to the crowd. The right DJ can make any event unforgettable, blending genres and reading the room in real time. Places like Geary Ave, Apartment 200, and Grand Bizarre hold curated parties all the time!
From high-energy hip-hop sets to smooth house grooves, I bring the same crowd-focused approach to every event I play. If you’re looking to book a DJ who can deliver across multiple styles, you can check my availability here.
ONE LAST THING…
Toronto’s nightlife in 2025 offers a mix of legendary clubs, emerging venues, and unique event spaces. Whether you’re after bass-heavy hip-hop, smooth Latin rhythms, or the pulse of deep house, these are the places where you’ll find the city’s best DJs in their element.
