Balls Deep Disco at Dead Letter No.9

On Saturday, June 20th, Toronto’s notorious disco institution **Balls Deep Disco** takes over Dead Letter No.9 for a full-blown Pride month celebration. Born out of Toronto’s iconic Black Eagle and inspired by the anything-goes spirit of spaces like Paradise Garage, The Saint, and The Warehouse, Balls Deep Disco has built a cult following through sweaty, playful, deeply dance floor-driven parties. Leading the charge is Burn Baby, founder of Balls Deep Disco, whose disco and house-rooted sets have landed him alongside names like Horse Meat Disco, Kerri Chandler, Dimitri From Paris, Eli Escobar, Kim Ann Foxman, JKriv, and more. The lineup runs deep. Chicago-born, NYC-rooted Gant Johnson brings decades of underground dance culture experience, from Chicago radio mix culture to co-founding Captivating Records alongside DJ Will Automatic of The Carry Nation. Brooklyn selector Dropo delivers emotionally charged sets pulling from house, techno, disco, funk, and left-field club sounds, while Patrick Kyle channels decades of disco, electro, funk, and house digging shaped by institutions like Paradise Garage and The Loft. Closing things out is boyyyish, NYC’s queer nightlife secret weapon. Blending house, acid, rave, disco, garage, and techno, he’s shared lineups with Danny Krivit, Todd Edwards, Dimitri From Paris, Rimarkable, and Maurice Fulton while playing everywhere from House of Yes and Nowadays to Glitterbox and Rinse FM.
