DJ Eddie Hedfones

I have to apologize to you all. I am a very emotional person and when someone does me wrong, I tell them and if they don’t care, I go scorched earth on them. It’s not fair to you to have to see such negativity come from me.
I’m a DJ. No one important right? But a dj is fundamentally important in a bar or club setting. You’ve got to be able to read your crowd. You’ve got to be flexible and spontaneous all while being bombarded by mobile phones pointed at me with a message asking for requests. I’ve been doing this for over 21 years now. Not much has changed aside from the mobile phone take over.
I believe in fairness, respect, trust, and honesty. If those are not upheld, I have to make my exit. And that’s what I did.
I’m gonna keep on keepin’ on. No one can keep me away from the music. 💔

It feels SO good to see that I’m not the only DJ to walk away from a s**tty sound system! You HAVE to watch the video. The circumstances are so similar.

It’s too bad my mic wouldn’t work either, although I did clap back at the immature losers in the crowd. Old f***s is what they were. Never again INGObeach.
Also, the only brown faces I saw there were the staff.

SARA BRYDEN, you need to learn a lesson from this. BE ACCOUNTABLE and stop tearing down the performers that YOU let down. Feel free to write her angry emails here: [email protected]

Ok. I’ve been silent for two days now.
I was invited to DJ at the INGOpride Festival at Ingonish Beach Friday night 10:30-1:30, Saturday afternoon outside from 11-3, and then Saturday night 10:30 -1:30.
Everything was awesome at the festival. My Friday night set went fine, not a lot of people but I still had Saturday night to look forward to. I had a fun morning/afternoon listening to some artists and then DJing outside for them afterwards. Went fine. Laptop and controller were hard to see but I’ve had that issue many times.

I have been DJing out for over 21 years and I have to say that the Saturday night event was a complete s**t show. I had absolutely NO support from the organizers after I texted and called and texted and called. There was something wrong with the sound system. The music produced was SOOOO muddy/unclear from the speakers but sounded perfect in my headphones. This is when the s**tshow started. Several folks came up to me to complain that the music sounded AWFUL. I guess they didn’t notice me trying to fix it and I made an announcement to try to quell the mob but that didn’t work either.

I was scheduled to play at 10:30 but of course I was early. After an hour I hadn’t heard anything from anyone so I told the organizers that since they can’t get back to my ASAP I was packing up and leaving. People were jeering and taunting me. So you know me, I told them to shut the f**k up. They were calling me loser and saying “go back to Halifax! You suck!”

I’ve never been more heartbroken and humiliated and right now I want to QUIT DJing altogether. I can’t handle the complete lack of respect. I know I’m not Ashley MacIsaac or even Tracy & Martina, but I think I should have had more support.

Thanks for the memories INGObeach Pride & Sara Brydon

Nightshade: Pirate Costume Party! Be creative with your costumes; use your full imagination. This Saturday night at The Atlantica Hotel’s basement ballroom. 9-1! Share this post and you’ll be entered to win a ticket for the event; tickets can be purchased at:
https://www.nightshadehalifax.com/PirateParty.html

“Pirate Party 8

19+ event.

Well shiver me timbers and prepare to be boarded! We'll be taking over a ball room in the basement of the Atlantica Hotel (1980 Robie St, Halifax NS) for Pirate Costume Party, our 8th annual event!

On Saturday June 22nd, 2024 from 9pm-1am we will be having our 8th annual Pirate Costume Party! Grab a mate and throw on your best pirate or w***h outfits and set sail to our kinky lagoon. Now dressing in theme is not mandatory but dressing sexy always is 🙂

Now although there is no dress code, it is strongly suggested that you dress in theme or some type of alternative wear is suggested. If you don't know what to wear then black clothing is strongly suggested but again try to dress in something you would consider sexy and edgy. Dress sexy and cool, cause it does get hot and sweaty in there. Due to the nature of the venue, public decency rules do apply so no showing off your swords, parrots or treasure chests. Those who break the rules will be made to walk the plank.

Other up coming themes:
Kinky Colours 10 - Saturday July 20th, 2024
Dark Carnival 10 - Saturday August 24th, 2024
Superhero/Villain 8 - Saturday September 28th 2024
Kinky Halloween & Dead Sexy Costume Party - Saturday October 26th, 2024
Medical Night 8 - Saturday November 23rd, 2024
Kinky NYE 2K25 - Tuesday December 31st, 2024

Drink menus will be listed when we receive that information from the hotel but you can imagine it will include all of your standard and brand name beverages. Cash only bar. The hotel has an ATM in the lobby. Please drink responsibly.

Limited advance tickets are available for only $25+tax and purchases can be made online through our website: www.NightshadeHalifax.com

Coat check service will be $3 for the night which includes in and out privileges for one hanger of clothes and/or one bag. There will be a self-coat check area but this will be not be monitored and is at use at your own risk.

We will be adhering to all government regulations at our Nightshade events. In addition extra cleaning procedures will be put into place for both the venue and for our own equipment. Hand sanitizer stations will be readily available as well of course there is plenty soap and water in the washrooms. Valid government identification (19+) is required to gain entry.

If you are sick please stay home! We have done away with our regular 'no refunds' policy and replaced it with a full credit of your ticket price. If you inform us that you will not be in attendance prior to us opening the doors at 9pm than we will issue you a full credit for one of our future events.

If for any reason we are forced to reduce capacity or cancel this event, causing you to not be able to attend then you will be issued a full credit of your ticket price for one of our future events. You may also purchase optional Cancellation Insurance for $1 per ticket which would see the full price of your ticket ($25 ticket or $28 ticket price w/coatcheck) refunded to you if you can not attend the event for any reason, so long as you contact us about the cancellation prior to the start of the event.

The Nightshade dance floor will be a flood of bodies as we welcome to our stage, current Nightshade resident: DJ Eddie Hedfones! Eddie Hedfones has been in love with dance music from a very young age, influenced by the sounds of 70s disco, 80s synth pop, 90s dance music, through to contemporary underground house and techno. Eddie was the Saturday night resident at Reflections Cabaret in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada from 2003-2019 playing mostly top 40 remixes, but his true passion lies in the underground. You can check him out here:

There will be some hardcore equipment brought in for those who know how to use it. For everyone's safety it will be well lit and monitored throughout the night by our DMs.

This is a no camera event with the exception of event photographers, please message to apply to shoot for the event. Check out some of our photographers we've had come out and shoot in the past:
