Why This Event is ‘Legendary’

This isn’t just another Sunday session; it’s a cultural milestone for the 6ix.

David “Ram Jam” Rodigan is a British icon whose career spans over 40 years. Known as the ultimate “Selector,” he has championed reggae and dancehall globally, earning an MBE for his services to broadcasting and music. To see him in an intimate Toronto setting is a rare privilege.

Sharing the stage is Toronto’s own DJ Starting From Scratch. As one of the most versatile DJs on the planet, Scratch has toured with legends like Russell Peters and Usher. His ability to blend genres—from old-school R&B to high-energy Soca—makes him the perfect counterpart to Rodigan’s reggae mastery.

What to Expect at Acqua

Located on the historic CNE grounds, Acqua provides the perfect upscale, sun-drenched backdrop for this 3 PM to 9 PM event. Expect a high-energy atmosphere, “music right across the board,” and unannounced special guests that only a lineup of this caliber could pull.
