Duke Dumont: House Music, Fresh Air, & Sunsets at the Malkin Bowl

By Ryan Hayes

Since 1934 Stanley Park’s Malkin Bowl has been hosting summer events and getting Vancouverites under the stars to experience live music. This year Blueprint is using the illustrious venue to extend long weekend vibes and chase away the post festival blues that will be stirring in house music fans after Foundation 10 Open Radius—the two-day event headlined by Purple Disco Machine & Fisher. Just five days later, on May 24th, Duke Dumont is set to bring club energy and festival ready choruses to the Malkin Bowl.

Over the last year Blueprint Events has focused on curated house music events covering the vast spectrum of the genre. Although Duke Dumont’s event isn’t Foundation Series branded it is the ultimate follow up to Open Radius. The storied producer has been active since the early 2000s—releasing house anthems like “I Got U” “Won’t Look Back” & “Ocean Drive” for well over a decade.

His debut album, Duality, released in 2020 with a contingent of tracks for house purists; “Therapy” & “Love Song” are sure to be highlights of his Malkin Bowl show.

The sheer power and perfection of “Ocean Drive” & the essential live music moment it will create should be enough to sell dance music fans attending…but if you still need convincing give his 2023 Red Rocks show a listen. It doesn’t disappoint.

EDM Canada is back!

It’s been a long wait but it appears that EDM events are slowly coming back across Canada. It has been a long wait for the live music business as a wide variety of workers and clubs have been severely affected by the pandemic. Thanks to the high vaccination rate in Canada, it seems like we’re primed for a return to a semi-normal schedule this Fall.

While we’ve been eagerly awaiting the return of live EDM events, EDM Canada has been waiting alongside you all! The city calendars have always been hand-crafted and human curated, giving you an up-to-date snapshot of electronic dance music events that are coming up in your city. Passion has driven this site for the past 9 years, and I will keep it going!

Happy birthday Canada!

On behalf of EDM Canada, I wish Canada a very happy 150th birthday. We have a lot to be proud about as a country as we are home to a host of extremely talented DJs, producers, musicians, and artists. Electronic dance music is in a good place thanks to the thousand upon thousands of devoted fans that attend festivals and club shows all across the country. Here's hoping for the good times to continue - happy birthday Canada!
