Tofino Tea Party @ Trickster's Hideout

Tofino Tea Party dives into house & garage grooves with Thomas Workshop, Just Sheila & SLB at Tricksters Hideout

A shift in flavour, back to the roots that pulled us into dark rooms and long nights in the first place—Tofino Tea Party steps away from the weight of bass to explore the bounce, swing and soul of house, garage and beyond.

Thomas Workshop is a core member of Lazy Syrup Orchestra and co-director of Soul Hop Productions. Bringing jazz-rooted sensibility into aquatic, groove-led, house-centric selections—shaped by years of live performance, songwriting, and community-driven dance spaces.

Alongside, Just Sheila emerging from a long Squamish winter with a decade-deep instinct for the dancefloor—blending house, garage, UK funky, and 808 rhythms with the kind of energy that keeps bodies moving without asking permission.

Rounding it out, SLB, with over 15 years behind decks and dance floors—delivers a refined, no-frills approach—pulling from deep cuts and underground sounds. Connecting with the community through his Swrv nights in Squamish and a monthly show on Bside radio in Vancouver. Expect fun bass driven energy.

No gimmicks—just a room, a proper sound system, and a different direction.
