pyro505 is the musical world of Taylor Benjamin Burgess, a collector of curious machines, forgotten sounds, and ideas that seem to arrive from another era. Armed with a beloved Roland MC-505, a four-track recorder, and an endless fascination with dated media, he crafts tracks that drift between electro, techno, and house, carrying equal parts grit, nostalgia, and playfulness.

For this special Fale FM mix, pyro505 turns his focus inward, weaving together a selection of tracks exclusively from producers based in Tkaron:to (Toronto). The result is a love letter to the city's underground scene, offering a glimpse into the sounds, stories, and creative energy bubbling beneath the surface. Equal parts time capsule and dancefloor invitation, the mix celebrates a community of artists shaping the city's electronic music landscape in their own unique ways.

When asked what home means to him, Taylor's answer was simple: "Home is where I can recharge with my friends and family." The track that feels most like home is Chase by Giorgio Moroder, a longtime favourite that seemed to appear at nearly every DJ gig he attended after moving to Toronto. Over time, it became a familiar thread connecting people, places, and dancefloors.

Fale FM and pyro505 also share a mutual love for Winnipeg and its vibrant electronic music community. A heartfelt thank you goes to Kelly & Nathan of Memetic Festival for creating such a special gathering, and to the wider community for being so welcoming, generous, and kind. If you ever find yourself passing through Winnipeg, do yourself a favour and stay at Mariaggi's. You'll thank us later.

Warm circuitry, local frequencies, and a deep respect for the communities that make underground music possible. Welcome to pyro505's corner of Tkaron:to.
