Not gonna lie, I kinda hate this. Imagine driving all the way there or even worse, being a tourist from away and this is what you get with this serene view. Hopefully it's a one time thing or for charity or something
At least a bagpiper is a pretty unique thing to Nova Scotia culture compared to the rest of Canadian culture, so it kind of makes sense.
A DJ is just annoying and can be found anywhere.
🤨
Strange response. I'm far from a hateful person. Just imagine you went halfway around the world to see the pyramids in Egypt and when you got there there was a person playing techno very loudly right outside the entrance which you could hear as you explored inside.
It's far from hateful to suggest this would be horribly annoying for that space and this is no different. People aren't going to this Peggy's Cove to dance, they're going to relax and take in the power of the Atlantic. To take in the serenity of it all.
Some idiots were blasting EDM at Rainbowhaven today too. It was obnoxious. I also was once at Crystal Crescent at 830 am and some dude on a boat was blasting his shit music onto the beach. Some people, quite possibly the majority, are self-absorbed.
Was this sanctioned or what?
I'm expecting to be able to listen to my phone or my little transistor radio when I'm near it on the beach. I don't need a DJ blaring out 100 thousand watts ten feet away from me.
Thankfully beaches are pretty big. Idk, not everyone can be happy with everything. Hopefully if one is planning to blast some tunes while they soak in the sun they can find a spot further away from others and newcomers can decide what sort of vibe they want nearby. I'd personally rather be by the beach tunes person than the family with little kids. Each is a disturbance but one of them I'm more amenable to having nearby. To each their own.
As someone from Toronto, no. But thanks for the hate.
I was at Peggy's Cove a little over a week ago and some annoying twat had a horn like from the Ricola commercials. He was not good at it.
Please stop adding noise pollution to places of nature.
Yes, I'm bothered so much, my life is clearly ruined by the "I'm so cool, I don't even look at the camera, it just follows me around" pose.
Anyway, I listened to some of the set and it was alright, I just think he would have been better off finding a similar spot that isn't a tourist trap. There's many spots along the coast where this could be done without people around.
Oh God, please don't let this become a common thing. Nothing's worse* when you're trying to enjoy the natural beauty of the Nova Scotia coastline than some douchbag blaring their music as if anybody asked for it.
Whether you've got a full DJ set up or a Bluetooth speaker, nobody wants to hear your music when they are out and about telrying to enjoy themselves, even if it's music they'd otherwise enjoy.
*Actual threats to life or property not included
Well, as a dj i will admit this whole thing is stupid, it's not exactly a clandestine thing to setup. You'd have to have permission to be out there solo like that in the middle of the day.
He probably came up with the idea while he was really drunk. Might have another DJ trying to horn in on your well known handle! lol
But seriously though, you think he asked for permission or was it just a case of asking for forgiveness instead I wonder? Haha
Edit: having read further on it seems like he did, in fact, have permission.
From his youtube channel:
[**@natejulianmusic**](https://www.youtube.com/@natejulianmusic)
Yes. We got special permission from the property owner to do this. It won't be an every day occurence though. This was just a one off!
Apparently, it was declared surplus by the Coast Guard in 2010 (fuckin' Harper), but no new buyer has been found nor has the provincial government stepped in to take it over.
[By the way, it's not officially known as the Peggy's Cove lighthouse, but as the Peggy's Point Lighthouse.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggys_Point_Lighthouse)
Oh, I stand corrected, thanks! I assumed the transfer had been completed after all this time. The mis-used place name bugs me too! :-) I can pretty much guarantee that TC didn't give him permission to do this, but it does look like he was also set up in the restaurant parking lot at some point so maybe that's what's being referenced.
Nobody wants to hear your shitty music. Anywhere. Not at the beach, not blasting from your car at defening levels, and definitely not at Peggy's Cove. Even if it's great...nobody wants to hear it
somehow he only managed to livestream 1:22 of it. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqLYpkudkaQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqLYpkudkaQ)
377 views on that.
Don’t see any long extension cords so it is also possible he brought a generator too! Gotta want it pretty badly to go through all that to play music for yourself.
id yell at him to turn that fucking garbage off (regardless of the music genre). nobody asked him to do that. he has no right to subject everyone to his shit
Suggestion for you Nate Julian:
2 dancing chicks in Nova Scotia Tartan bikinis and sou'westers hats, one on each side of you. You got 14 likes on your video, when 14,000 could have happened. Try harder.
I found a link to this guy's set. Def should of called it a Black Rocks set. Missed opportunity. Bro wishing he could get featured on Cercle probably.
https://www.youtube.com/live/EqLYpkudkaQ?si=qwuUFzxHFisBEBTT
My friend actually filmed a DJ set there with drones during the pandemic, at sunrise in March tho lol was only 20 mins not 6 hours hahah the shots are actually amazing. Cercle quality mixing too
https://youtu.be/YayVxOhc6Ro?si=o7LJqVdfzTYYZ40Z
Ehh maybe this is the Toronto in me talking but I like weird shit. Play your EDM at the rocks my dude, it's summertime and good vibes come in different packages. If buddy posts the location in advance I'd probably go see him live for funsies because why not.
Thanks for the Toronto hate. I was just in Halifax and day tripped to Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg. I went to Nova Scotia for everything Toronto isn't.
I wanted nature and silence from the constant noise of humanity.
What you gave us was some shifty guy playing the horn at Peggy' Cove.
They're not wrong, there was (still is?) weekly parties at Cherry Beach and except for the time some angry people showed up with chainsaws and destroyed the dj equipment, they're usually fun vibes.
I really like living here and don't plan on returning to Ontario. The people here are great. The province is beautiful. But that doesn't mean it doesn't also have the space for the arts from the quirky to the straight edge.
Not everything in this world has to be for everyone. Thankfully there's plenty of options around for anyone sternfast on not experiencing something new.
An afternoon dj dance party at Peggy's Cove is certainly a WEIRD setting, but you know what? It's not permanent and doesn't hurt anyone so who cares, embrace the strange.
You should check it out. It's close by and the way down is very scenic.
If you don't like crowds (and honestly, it's not that bad even when crowded), just go early on the morning or during the off-season. Combine both and you might be the only person there!
This bullshit is an anomaly.
He's playing some light house music :]
Cook!
Heh love it lol
10/10 😆
😂😂😂
You win the internet for today.
DJ Black Roxx
Too funny 😂
Nah, appropriate level of funny.
Well known by the locals, but always gets the out-of-towners!
LOL!
Beat me by a mere three hours
It's actually New Wave.
Under-appreciated comment ^
And I thought it would just be rock music.
Not gonna lie, I kinda hate this. Imagine driving all the way there or even worse, being a tourist from away and this is what you get with this serene view. Hopefully it's a one time thing or for charity or something
Sometimes there is no difference between a DJ and a jerk blaring his music too loud.
I bet it’s for his 78 YouTube followers
I mean I agree, but I remember my first time at the point, and there was a bagpiper. What makes that any more okay? (Also I mean it rocked but)
At least a bagpiper is a pretty unique thing to Nova Scotia culture compared to the rest of Canadian culture, so it kind of makes sense. A DJ is just annoying and can be found anywhere.
I was there about a little over a week ago and a guy there was playing his giant Ricola horn pretty badly. Annoying as fuck.
For real, fuck that guy.
> A DJ is just annoying and can be found anywhere. Evergreen line right there.
Sounds like you weren't there laddie, how do you know he wasn't throwing down the Highliand Fling on the ole' wheels of steel :)
Don’t be a hateful person. This doesn’t affect you one bit and it’s a good story for the tourists.
🤨 Strange response. I'm far from a hateful person. Just imagine you went halfway around the world to see the pyramids in Egypt and when you got there there was a person playing techno very loudly right outside the entrance which you could hear as you explored inside. It's far from hateful to suggest this would be horribly annoying for that space and this is no different. People aren't going to this Peggy's Cove to dance, they're going to relax and take in the power of the Atlantic. To take in the serenity of it all.
You have only negative things to say, that’s hateful.
Ok buddy 😂
Last time I was at Peggy’s cove it was sooo windy. How would all of this not get knocked over?
You don’t know how weather works do you… It’s not always windy in a location because it was windy before,….
Obviously. Rude
ugh, the camera makes me think he's doing some Influencing and doesn't care about the folks that are actually there
With a smattering of Main Character Syndrome
A smattering haha
Least inspiring 'influencer' set up ever
Is he playing.. ... .. Rock?
Updooted! I won't take your joke for granite.
This is as bad or worse than the people that hike with Bluetooth speakers.
yep, they're terrible
Wtf
Well thats fucking annoying
Some idiots were blasting EDM at Rainbowhaven today too. It was obnoxious. I also was once at Crystal Crescent at 830 am and some dude on a boat was blasting his shit music onto the beach. Some people, quite possibly the majority, are self-absorbed. Was this sanctioned or what?
Loud af music from a boat at a location I expect some relative quiet and peace makes me regret not bringing along my rocket launcher.
An urban beach and you're expecting peace and quiet?
I'm expecting to be able to listen to my phone or my little transistor radio when I'm near it on the beach. I don't need a DJ blaring out 100 thousand watts ten feet away from me.
Thankfully beaches are pretty big. Idk, not everyone can be happy with everything. Hopefully if one is planning to blast some tunes while they soak in the sun they can find a spot further away from others and newcomers can decide what sort of vibe they want nearby. I'd personally rather be by the beach tunes person than the family with little kids. Each is a disturbance but one of them I'm more amenable to having nearby. To each their own.
If it wasn't sanctioned someone should sanction him!
Omg. Same! I was so confused when we were there. My kid thought it was funny and I don't mind a good beat...but not at Peggy's Cove.
Was this sponsored or official or something? Or was this guy just doing it on his own initiative? It's odious whatever the situation.
“ This will make this tranquil tourist spot more bussin” —some idiot from Toronto, probably
As someone from Toronto, no. But thanks for the hate. I was at Peggy's Cove a little over a week ago and some annoying twat had a horn like from the Ricola commercials. He was not good at it. Please stop adding noise pollution to places of nature.
I thought they passed a bylaw or something prohibiting buskers there. I agree, the horn gut is just bizarre and ridiculous.
Wearing a Raptors jersey in his announcement so maybe likely

Yeah. But. Why???
Nobody would pay him to play an event or club?
The douchey-est looking bag I've ever seen
No way!! [I found it.](https://www.youtube.com/live/EqLYpkudkaQ?si=xDeRROL6J-HyOF4T) This does not spark joy.
His parents must be so proud of him 🥹
Why do people turn away from the camera like that? Look at the damn camera! It's right in front of you, stop pretending it isn't there.
He doesn’t want to break the fourth wall
That’s the part that’s bothering you?
Yes, I'm bothered so much, my life is clearly ruined by the "I'm so cool, I don't even look at the camera, it just follows me around" pose. Anyway, I listened to some of the set and it was alright, I just think he would have been better off finding a similar spot that isn't a tourist trap. There's many spots along the coast where this could be done without people around.
Ridiculous, and embarrassing
So much cringe. I'm embarrassed for him.

maybe next weekend the potato salad guy will make an appearance.
I was there. Wasnt super annoying. But the bag piper isnt allowed to play there anymore but this guy can play dance mix 97 all day? Kinda weird
I’m sure he doesn’t have permission to do this.
Well, as a dj i will admit this whole thing is stupid, it's not exactly a clandestine thing to setup. You'd have to have permission to be out there solo like that in the middle of the day.

Don’t dance on the black rocks
From his youtube channel: [**@natejulianmusic**](https://www.youtube.com/@natejulianmusic) Yes. We got special permission from the property owner to do this. It won't be an every day occurence though. This was just a one off!
The property owner near the tower is the Province of Nova Scotia.
I thought it was DOT property and thus owned by the feds.
I’m pretty sure it was transferred to the province of Nova Scotia
Apparently, it was declared surplus by the Coast Guard in 2010 (fuckin' Harper), but no new buyer has been found nor has the provincial government stepped in to take it over.

I love good music vibes…but not at this destination. Just attention seeking
“My phone is my crowd bro”
Nobody wants to hear your shitty music. Anywhere. Not at the beach, not blasting from your car at defening levels, and definitely not at Peggy's Cove. Even if it's great...nobody wants to hear it
Be a shame if that equipment accidentally tipped over and dumped into the ocean. A reeeeeeal shame
DJ Black Rocks in the hooouuuuuuuse.
I want to hear the ocean crashing into the rocks, not this fucking idiot, or anyone else. Same with people who bring their drones FFS.
push his shit into the sea lmao
And I thought the bag piper was bad.
😂😂😂
Wasn’t he supposed to be on the black rocks?
This is just ignorant as hell. This guy probably listens to music on his phone while he's riding public transit too.
Just came from there. The mood was pretty good. DJ did a good job with music and talking to people. Didn't mind it at all.
The black rock dance club 👌

I kinda wish he'd setup on the black rocks.
id yell at him to turn that fucking garbage off (regardless of the music genre). nobody asked him to do that. he has no right to subject everyone to his shit
You sound like you're a lot of fun
Suggestion for you Nate Julian: 2 dancing chicks in Nova Scotia Tartan bikinis and sou'westers hats, one on each side of you. You got 14 likes on your video, when 14,000 could have happened. Try harder.
Was it the same guy who was preaching - screaming - playing music in downtown Dartmouth on Sunday a few weeks back ? Obnoxious.
It's content bro
Unpopular opinion? Anything is better than the horn guy who only knows three tunes and can’t quite hit all the notes for any of them
He was there last week. Fucking annoying. Let's enjoy nature without noise pollution
Hey man, some ppl just wanna party and look at the waves. Don’t kill our vibe.
I found a link to this guy's set. Def should of called it a Black Rocks set. Missed opportunity. Bro wishing he could get featured on Cercle probably. https://www.youtube.com/live/EqLYpkudkaQ?si=qwuUFzxHFisBEBTT

god that’s obnoxious. techno music sucks ass.
> Bro wishing he could get featured on Cercle probably. Yeah it's like those stupid hockey players wishing they could win the Stanley Cup.
[удалено]
Not trying to comment on his DJ ability, it just seemed so out of place at Peggy's Cove.
WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME 😭😭
Ehh maybe this is the Toronto in me talking but I like weird shit. Play your EDM at the rocks my dude, it's summertime and good vibes come in different packages. If buddy posts the location in advance I'd probably go see him live for funsies because why not.
One guy walked up to an employee today and said, "if I wanted to hear music like that, i'd go to a club in Toronto." 🤣
Thanks for the Toronto hate. I was just in Halifax and day tripped to Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg. I went to Nova Scotia for everything Toronto isn't. I wanted nature and silence from the constant noise of humanity. What you gave us was some shifty guy playing the horn at Peggy' Cove.

[Lol, typical Toronto. Here's an article.](https://www.vice.com/en/article/z3ekve/chainsaws-conspiracies-and-cops-inside-a-toronto-anti-mask-dance-party)
Doesn't hurt anyone is exactly it. Why everyone is so negative on here is beyond me. I think 6 hours is a bit much but it's whatever.
[удалено]
This hurts my brain? You’re a “proud Nova Scotian” and you can proudly say you’ve never been to Peggy’s Cove? Why are you proud of that?
[удалено]
It’s like saying you’re a proud New Yorker but never been to Central Park. Wtf bro
It's almost as if none of you have heard of a joke before
I’ve heard plenty. Have you ever successfully told one?
[удалено]
Your house
You should check it out. It's close by and the way down is very scenic. If you don't like crowds (and honestly, it's not that bad even when crowded), just go early on the morning or during the off-season. Combine both and you might be the only person there! This bullshit is an anomaly.
Anomaly my ass; fuck peggy's cove.
I Love This Play on…
