Before Afrobeats took over Toronto’s nightlife, it started in the dorms — and DJ Mendosa was at the center of it all. Known for turning every student party into a full-blown experience, Mendosa helped shape the sound, energy, and community that defined campus life in the city.

In this video, we look at how DJ Mendosa became one of the key figures in Toronto’s student party culture, inspiring a wave of young DJs and event organizers who would later fuel the city’s Afrobeats movement.
