We’re half-way through the summer, Toronto Pride behind us, Montreal & Vancouver Pride coming up and hopefully, just hopefully some summer weather will come and stay. This year Pride was amazing!!! From playing at Ministry to Steamworks to the Beef Ball to the Pride Stage to Comfort Zone and back to Steamworks - it was a weekend full of music, fun and parties…
Thank you to all of you that came out to each of these events and thank you so much for all your support and feedback about the Trumpet Debut at the Beef Ball and then at the Pride Stage. Introducing a live performance in to my sets was a wickedly fun experience for me and although I was a little nervous I had such a rush playing over the cheers and screams to my first remix. I’m very excited with the final performances and I’m working on more for future parties, so thanks again.
I know many of you have been inquiring about the Beef Ball 2009 CD and I’ll let you know I haven’t forgot. Unfortunately I had a hard drive crash during the Beef Ball as I was going to introduce a ‘live’ version this year but unfortunately that recording was lost along with all my music :( Never fear though I won’t let that stop me as I’m working on the latest CD now which should be out soon.
I’m off to Vancouver for Pride at the end of the month so watch out as I’ll be spinning at the Grand Opening of Steamworks in Vancouver. This should prove to be a crazy-busy weekend with a new club and pride all rolled into one. This will be my first Vancouver Pride so I’m very excited to see how they do things out west.
See you there!!

Hey it’s that time of year again where there’s lots of parties, celebrations, music and dancing. This week/end is a busy one as usual so check out the Events page to keep up to date of where I’ll be spinning and when…
This Saturday I’ll be debuting my solo performance on Trumpet at the Beef Ball so be sure to check that out. For those that are working or can’t make to the Beef Ball, I’ll be spinning the closing set for the Sunday street party on the Centre Stage (next to O’Grady’s) so come here me play and perform there from 10-11pm.
Have a great Pride and thanks again for all your support.

We’ve been experiencing some issues with our web server and host the past few days, so you may have noticed the site has been inaccessible or realllllly slow when loading pages…
Our host has only apologized for the inconvenience, but not responded with any reasons as to why this happened or how to prevent it in the future. I think we may be changing our server and host very soon!
Thanks for hanging in there!
Hey Everyone, I’m off to IML tomorrow for the weekend and I’ll be spinning down there on Saturday and Sunday - check out the Event page for more details.
Thanks again for your support and we’ll see you this weekend in Chicago!!

The NEW ‘Neill MacLeod’ Facebook Fan Page
I invite everyone to join the new Fan Page on Facebook as I’m switching from the ‘Official DJ Neill MacLeod’ Group to offer more to everyone.
If you join now you’ll have access to the exclusive link to download the newest CD ‘The Strong Rhythm’ before it goes live on this site - so check it out and become a fan.
You’ll also note now that you can add your comments on the Music page to give your feedback on the music available.
A quick update to let you know that you can now comment on any of the CDs in the Music area without logging in to the Member area (still under development BTW!)
I have just spent about 10 hours updating the site with an all new design! I’ve developed the new design using my text editor of choice (TextMate at the moment) and Safari on my Mac. I have tested the site with Firefox (which renders almost the exact same as Safari), but I’ve not tested it in IE7+. If there are any display issues with IE I will address them as soon as I can. I hope you like the new look! New functionality will be coming soon, so stay tuned.

Over the next couple of months there are some exciting projects on the way which include a new CD geared to this year’s IML competition in Chicago. Look for me that weekend l’ll be promoting at the Steamworks booth at the host hotel as well as 2 sets at the Chicago location - check out the events page for more details…
This month I’ve added a new concept to the Top 10 page where I will now be featuring (mainly local to start) Artists, Producers and Remixers in support of the amazing talent we have in Toronto.
Heading into the busy month of June I’ll be in the studio finalizing a remix and solo performance to be debuting at this year’s Beef Ball as well as the Centre Stage for the closing party on Church Street that Sunday.
I will be revamping the newsletter and facebook fan page so keep an eye open for the changes and make sure your on the mail-out list and a member of the new fan page coming soon.
Here’s hoping a great summer is ahead of us with lots of chances to enjoy the sun.
Thanks again for all the birthday wishes - what a fun time!
Neill
