second chances: an outlet for melodic music
2026-01-31 20:00 - 2026-02-01 01:00
second chances at the music yard (indoors) on saturday, january 31st!

About:

second chances is all about connecting and reflecting in a space that’s more than just a party. it’s a space for those who love melodic sounds and want to feel something deeper. think of it as a listening room, but without labels or headliners—just pure music and raw expression.

we’re bringing together local producers and artists who play in genres like melodic house, downtempo, lo-fi, trance, and electronica to share their tracks and creations. it’s not about who’s playing next, it’s about everyone in the room. it’s about individuality and inspiration and encouragement.

imagine this event as a massive vision board, but instead of paper and push pins, you’re bringing your emotions and thoughts to life through music. whether you’re going through something, celebrating happiness, or just need space to think, this is your canvas. the music will guide you, the vibes will hold you, and you’ll leave with more than just a night out.

it’s a little playful, a little serious. think orange ambiance, monochromatic vibes, and a futuristic retro dive bar feel. the space is yours to explore and express.

genres:

melodic house | downtempo | lo-fi | trance | tribal house | electronica

Announcing Simon Doty at The Music Yard (indoors) on February 13, 2026!

From Canada’s Western wilderness to the global underground, Simon Doty’s path into electronic music is anything but conventional. A former college basketball shooting guard turned finely tuned sound architect, Doty has spent years mastering his craft and ascending the international circuit.

Following the breakout success of his album Universal Language, Simon continues to evolve, pushing deeper into minimal, groove-driven club music through his own international radio show, Recess. His signature sound blends gritty analog synthesis, tough driving grooves, and refined musicality, earning the respect and support of industry heavyweights including Sasha, Hot Since 82, Jamie Jones, Joris Voorn, Hernan Cattaneo, and Carl Cox.

Marquee performances at world-renowned venues such as Brooklyn Mirage, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Gorge Amphitheatre, Savaya Bali, and Fabric London underscore a defining run for the Canadian talent. With regular support from Pete Tong and Danny Howard on BBC Radio 1, Simon Doty’s rise is global.

Approaching music with the same quiet confidence as basketball, Simon lets the work speak for itself.
