In 1987 dWM and Jeff-0 rented a warehouse space off Queen St. West in Toronto. This space provided a proper rehearsal studio and production facility for SCW (as well as living quarters), and also served as a space for other art and music side projects.

SCW added a new member for playing live shows: guitarist Scott “Skill” Casey, specialist in all styles. SCW at this point moved away from the free improvisational style for playing live shows that they’d adopted since moving to Toronto, and towards a groovy disco-jazz-funk-punk thang. In the studio, SCW continued on in the more experimental style as the first two cassette tape releases, and the more recent side projects of PnrH and dWM.

Around this time SCW also purchased an Ensoniq EPS sampler. Although it didn’t have much of an impact on SCW’s live disco-jazz-funk-punk music, sampling was essential to SCW’s studio recordings, and would define their style throughout the 90’s.
