Toronto DJs had a busy summer remixing original tunes into compelling new creations. In the past year, there's been an explosion in the popularity of Tropical House, which turned an act like KYGO into a household name overnight. Meanwhile, Future House bubbled up from down unda', while classic Deep House returned as a fan favourite. See what our local talent did with these trends.
Here are my picks for the top 5 remixes by Toronto DJs for summer 2015.
The Weeknd - Can't Feel My Face (Rainer + Grimm Remix)
These guys were quick to act. Just a day after the original dropped Rainer + Grimm released their jiggy version that turns the Weeknd ballad into a tropical dance hit. It quickly topped HypeM's popular charts and accumulated over 4 million plays within three weeks before being taken down from their SoundCloud. You can still check it on YouTube.
Rihanna - B*tch Better Have My Money (Grandtheft & Diplo Remix)
Yet again, Toronto's own Grandtheft has teamed up with international sensation Diplo to deliver another soul crushing remix of a single that already dripped with ego and attitude to begin with.
Calvin Harris - I Need Your Love ft. Ellie Goulding (Autoérotique Remix)
This one was voted as fan favourite when it aired on an episode of Steve Aoki's Remix Rewind on Siruis XM BPM. Autoérotique flipped pop God Calvin Harris' tune "I Need Your Love" into a dance tune featuring a sprinkle of some trendy future house elements.
Haute - U Should Know (Shagabond Remix)
Shagabond took this original on a slow walk through a serene park and came out with a new best friend. The smoothness of this version got the nod of approval from taste-making YouTube channel Majestic Casual, where it's racked up almost 200,000 plays in less than a month.
Kill Them With Colour x Notorious BIG - Roll Wit Em
Last but definitely not least, Kill Them With Colour delivered a modern age birthday present to the late great B.I.G. in the form of a remix for his song "Sky's The Limit." He chopped up some of the lyrics to create a new chorus and dubbed the song Roll Wit Em.

Toronto's obsession with condos and fresh juice bars seems never-ending, and this latest one combines both, with a juice bar on the ground floor of a condo. Made-to-order juices and smoothies, quality coffee, salads and panini are all on offer here in an appealingly designed and upbeat setting.
Weekend events in Toronto will let you soak up the last few weeks of summer. Adelaide Hall is hosting a free art and music event, awards are being given out to food trucks, and Camp Wavelength will have the island filled with musicians and campers aplenty. If you're not into these happenings, there's always the trusty CNE to keep you busy. 
Thanks to Grolsch for sponsoring this post.
Toronto Food Events rounds up the most delicious events, festivals, pop-ups, winemaker dinners, supper clubs and other food related happenings in Toronto this week and next. You can find us here every Friday morning.
For most people, $10 million is an utterly incomprehensible amount of money. Think of it like this: say your household income is $75,000 a year (roughly 
A massive indoor pool, basement entertainment centre, wine cellar, and a bathtub in the middle of the bathroom floor: this giant stone Forest Hill home has all the hallmarks of a traditional rich person's abode. There even columns in the downstairs hallway and little nooks for really expensive vases.
Lots of walnut carving and paneling in this luxurious Forest Hill home. The pool has a little slide and the rest of the house is likewise adorned with lots of bells and whistles, except, strangely, for one bedroom that appears to only contain a bed, nightstand, and dresser. Perhaps it's some kind of time out room for the naughty millionaire's child.
12 Wilket Rd. is dangerously close to being a country club house or small hotel. In the real estate photos, the foyer has been dressed to look like a restaurant and there are all manner of bars, kitchens, dining rooms, and sitting areas scattered throughout the building. Seriously, this six-bedroom, nine-bathroom house is too big.
Most of the appeal of this budget-busting behemoth appears to be the lack of neighbours: no-one on the south, east, or west sides! Considering the price tag, the interior design doesn't stand out much from the others on this list. There is, however, a large indoor pool and a "spa-inspired" bathroom off the master bedroom.
If your lifelong ambition is to live relatively close to 
Not all TIFF movies are created equal. At least not in terms of what is being most anticipated and buzzed about in the days leading up to the festival start. There are always some films that everyone seems especially excited to see, and expect to potentially ascend to Oscar glory. 
Underground bars in Toronto allow you to indulge your inner goth and hide from natural light. Whether you feel like hiding from the street or want get social with a game of bocce ball, these basement haunts have got you covered. If you like your bars on the more hidden/exclusive side, this list might help you find a new favourite.
Paramount Fine Foods is becoming a household name when it comes to halal dining, and this new submarine sandwich shop is the newest in its arsenal. Expect to find the usual array of cold cuts (sans pork of course), plus Middle Eastern flavours like shawarma, kafta, and falafel on a bun.
Toronto's newest crop of restaurants are perfectly positioned to benefit from the influx of activity that surrounds TIFF, the new school year, and cottage dwellers returning to the city. It's no surprise that reservation books fill up fast and tables are in high demand.
Don't fret if you haven't made it to one of the city's many (delicious) 
If you hate going to the gym, many Toronto green spaces offer free alternatives, which are accessible at least for a few months during the year. That's because public parks throughout the city contain fitness equipment, allowing you to get active in the great outdoors.
The best late night pizza in Toronto will satisfy that inevitable craving after last call when your tummy is rumbling but you've only got coins left in your pocket. Whether you're in need of a slice stat or you have the patience to wait for a whole pie fresh from the oven, these pizza joints will oblige.
Over the next few years, Church Street's low-rise units will vanish to make room for massive new developments. There are already seven proposals for towers stretching more than 25-storeys, including a possible 49-storey condo at Church and Charles and a 27-storey academic building and residence at the south end of the 
While this condo project would be replacing a parking lot, 
Now in its fifth year, the international pop-up picnic Diner en Blanc took place last night just outside The Power Plant. Just steps from the waterfront against the backdrop of the CN Tower, this year's white-attired party followed strict protocol as always. 
Waterfalls are non-existent in Toronto, save for a few artificial ones. So if you want to get an eyeful of some of Mother Nature's best work, you're in for a bit of a trek. That said, there's an awesome collection of these natural wonders within an hour's drive of the city. Hamilton is, of course, sprinkled with waterfalls, but there are majestic sights to behold all around the Niagara Escarpment.
Toronto's September concert calendar celebrates summer's end with some beachside and field-centric bashes, yet also mourns the inevitable death of fun-time weather with a good batch of dark and gloomy listening. 
The Yonge and Bloor of the 1960s is almost unrecognizable from the increasingly high-rise intersection of 2015. 
From the air in 1964, showing the complex construction work linking the Bloor-Danforth and existing Yonge subway line. Empty patches of land and parking lots reveal the path of the underground tunnels.
Built at the same time as the Yonge subway line on Bloor just east of the intersection with Yonge, the streetcar platforms provided direct access to the underground platforms via a set of stairs. This photo, which was actually taken in the 1950s, looks west towards Yonge and Bloor.
Unlike similar streetcar platforms on Queen and College streets, this one was entirely car-free. Private vehicles had to go around the outside. 
The subway entrance on the south side of Bloor, east of Yonge. Note the Toronto Telegram newspaper box. The paper ceased publication in 1971. A few days later, with many of the Telegram's former staff, the Toronto Sun launched.
Marooned subway entrance on the north side of Bloor, prior to construction of the Hudson's Bay Centre. The building in the background is the Bell Telephone Company of Canada building on Asquith.
Down below, the original Yonge line platform at Bloor-Yonge could never handle the number of people that use the station today.
Another shot of the original Yonge line platform beneath Yonge and Bloor in the 1960s, shortly after completion of the Bloor-Danforth line.
The Bloor-Danforth subway replaced the Bloor-Danforth streetcar in 1966 and, as a result, the city took up the surface platform. This photo, taken shortly after that work was completed, shows the northeast corner of the intersection, where the RBC pavilion is located today.
Over the street from the RBC building was a Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce branch. This building, the Pilot tavern next door, and several others were demolished to make way for the current CIBC tower.
Purple and pink Stollerys at the southwest corner, looking south down Yonge. Apart from the demolition of the historic men's clothing store, the buildings on this side of the street are roughly the same today. The Uptown theatre has closed, though.
