About Us

Pure Phunk began in 2000 as the brainchild of Toronto breaks
DJ
D-Monic with the goal
of raising the quality level in local breaks events.
Pure Phunk
moved quickly to raise the profile of breakbeat culture in Toronto.
In 10 years, the focus of
Pure Phunk has shifted a few times.
We have seen a
record
label, booking agency, and numerous more parties take place in a wide variety
of venues around the city.
