Episode 176: Global Dance - Best Of Toy Armada & DJ GRIND & Jace M
Description
The Best Of series continues with a mega anthology of three DJ/producers who's work I have loved for the better part of a decade now. I'm talking about the incredible Toy Armada, DJ GRIND and more recently, Jace M. Toy Armada hails from the Philippines and started his DJ career at the age of 23. He held residencies at major clubs in Manila and as far as I know, he still resides there. Starting his producing career in 2010, it really took off when he met his long time collaborator DJ GRIND in 2012. They became immensely popular on the world circuit party scene and began playing at venues around the world at some of the biggest circuit and Pride parties. I had the pleasure of meeting them both in Sydney in 2018 when they were playing at a party called DayWash. I only decided to go last minute so wasn't aware of the DJ lineup. Whilst on the dance floor, I said to my friend that the DJ likes playing a lot of Toy Armada & DJ GRIND remixes. He looked at me and said 'that's because they are playing you idiot'. Naturally I made a beeline for the DJ booth and introduced myself. They were both very pleasant and very humble while I fan girled over them. I haven't been able to find a lot of info on DJ GRIND as there hasn't been a lot of activity on his podomatic or Facebook page since 2020. Toy Armada has also collaborated with Tommy Love and Mauro Mozart. Jace M is originally from Washington DC and began DJ'ing in 2002. Moving to Detroit, he started up a number of events which are still running today. His collaborations with Toy Armada continue the theme of massive, thunderous big room circuit anthems. Between the three of them they have remixed and produced for some of the world's biggest recording artists including Ariana Grande, Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga, Ella Henderson, Loren Allred, Adele, Cher, Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, P!nk and of course, Kylie Minogue just to name a few. Featured here are 30 of their greatest remixes spanning three hours and a decade - my love letter to Toy Armada & DJ GRIND & Jace M. Enjoy
