Blackcat has played a pivotal role in growing the Toronto ballroom scene, serving as a cornerstone for the music and beats that bring runway energy to life.

Karim Olen Ash is making waves in Toronto's electronic music scene. A hometown hometown prodigy, he swiftly gained recognition for his distinct, euphorically infectious sound. Drawing inspiration from a diverse musical background, Karim seamlessly melds house, techno, club, and disco, striking a harmonious balance between intensity and tranquility.

Noteworthy for his homage to house music and ballroom culture pioneers, his sets also incorporate progressive sounds.

“ House music resonates with me completely. It’s a beacon for self-expression, creativity, and a sense of community. These are all things I strive for with my sets, especially being Black and gay.”
