[ phoniq.net ] is a web portal where artists are invited to join our growing community by participating in our mailing list as well as ongoing projects. projects include live music series, file sharing collaborations, and the phoniq netlabel. BLEUPULP [ ] maxime tanguay aka bleupulp is an active member of quebec city electronic music scene he fisrt started dj-ing jungle music in rave parties around 2000, then opened up for various electronic music style such as techno, house, idm, minimal ... his love for electronic music pushed him to start creating his own music, since about 2002 you can hear him playing live with machines and laptop. his music could be described as colourful, texturized and experimental. he is currently working on a few projects such as a net label, cd-r, and cd album releases. maxime is part of the syndroma colective and the pertinence crew, organizations that focus on promoting quality electronic music. PHILGOOD [inbeat records] Having spent more than half of his life behind turntables, Philgood has always given priority to music that takes the listener into new dimensions, stimulating dance, excitement, and an escape from the rigors of everyday life. Philgood has by now caught the ears and attention of electronica scenesters the world over. Through appearances at such renowned Montreal clubs as Sona, Circus, Red Lite or Playground, and via his performances overseas, Philgood has dropped records alongside techno luminaries including Laurent Garnier, Marco Carola, Richie Hawtin, DJ Rush, Sven Väth, Green Velvet, Thomas Krome, Joel Mull and T-1000. SARCASTIC [ ] This amorphous being has contributed to the subculture’s cabalistic causes on many levels for the past decade, performing at virtually all of Montreal's clubs and coast-to-coast across the country alongside techno luminaries including Frankie Bones, Thomas Krome, Slobodan or The Punisher, and minimal experimentalists such as Andrew Duke, Kero, Algorithm, or Deadbeat. Possessed since childhood with a needling drive to splice together discrete musical compositions, first with cassette decks, microphones, CD players or 8-tracks, it was only a matter of time before an unwitting companion introduced Sarcastic to his destiny in the early nineties: the Technics-1200. Since, Sarcastic has founded Level 4 Productions, a record label, artist collective and promotion company synonymous with the cutting-edge of techno. His love for the chugging repetitive nature of ghettotek, pure tek, acid house and hardcore genres remains informed by an early appreciation for hip-hop, stoner rock, jazz and psychedelia of all sorts. Equally at home behind two or three decks, Sarcastic’s styles range from the abstract headiness of minimal and experimental tek to his own tongue-in-cheek productions based largely on recognizable samples from such disparate sources as movies, rap or funk. INSOMNIAK [ ] ___ Base:: Montreal, Canada. ___ Weapon of choice:: a mashup of heavyweight breakbeats and funky analog techno. ___ Releases:: two 12” singles (under the name Phreak) and numerous compilation and independent cd releases. The single “Deep Phreak” was remixed by house legend John Aquaviva and found its way on to DJ play-lists around the world. ___ Televison:: creation of breakbeat theme songs and cues for MTV’s “Blame Game” and “Crush” on the USA Network as well as station ID beats for the new channel “MTV Jams”. Also heard on CBC "ZED TV" and soon on "Nerve". ___ Live performances:: have included opening for such international acts as The Art of Trance, Spacetime Continuum, Misjah, Westbam, The Stickmen, Skylab 2000, Delta 9 and Kenny Ken. FM_MAN [ ] 21 year old Montreal native Scott Philip has been producing electronic music since 1996, covering a wide range of musical styles. Fm_man is his latest solo music project, combining the influences of house, techno, dub, jazz, synthpop, idm, industrial, and electro into a fusion of dance floor friendly sounds. Widely respected in the underground online music community, Scott's music has topped charts on several music portals including [ mp3.com ] and [ rave.ca ] NAW [ ] montreal native neil wiernik began his explorations in electronic music making as early as 1988. known to push the boundaries of his musical form, naws music is a blend of sound manipulation/design, experimental music and dub-tech rhythms, which on the surface sound quite simple, but incorporate a number of touches that steer this artist away from being simply another minimal techno or experimental laptop artist. he combines post-house, dubby minimal techno, microsound and thick ambience, to create his own version of deep techno, house and other electronic laptop oriented musics. neil has released music on various national and international record labels, including recent releases on clever-music, and his follow up full length to his 2002 noise factory release called green nights orange days. he has recently returned from tours in france, germany, and canada.to co-enside with his recent releases on these labels and pans to retunr to europe this summer for more tours including a performance at the now legendary sonar festival in barcelona, spain. CYAN [ckut, [ traktion.com ] Montreal based dj, radio host and producer cyan aka Corina MacDonald has been an active participant in montreal’s electronic music scene since 1996. She currently hosts modular systems, an electronic music magazine show on ckut 90.3 fm and is also involved in organizing phoniq collective events and projects. Her sound can best be described as layered, dense and deep rhythms intersecting the genres of techno, house and electro. Her independently produced DJ mix ‘The Gravity Protocol’ has been received in a very positive light by reviewers and techno fans alike. KHANFUCIUS [ ] Constantine has been active in exploring the electronic arts since the early 1990s. He became involved in the BBS scene at a young age, tracking music modules and drawing ascii art. By 1996 he chose the alias Khanfucius and began as a DJ, playing an assortment of strange, abstract and ambient music at local clubs, raves and other events in the prairies. His active involvement in the scene spawned many projects, including the event production company Uninhibited Sound System with his fellow DJs and the artistic collective Panospria. Musical side projects around this time included playing laptop and synths in the improv electronic band Mandelbrot Set and co-producing an album as Break Fluid with Sasafras of the hip hop group Isosceles. His first solo album as Khanfucius, The Phuzzillogikal Basement Tapes 96-98, was compiled and released independently prior to moving to Dublin, Ireland in 1999. This release caught the attention of radio DJ Keith Downey who invited him to co-host his show on Kiss FM called Psychonavigation. Keith would go on to start Psychonavigation Records and release music by Constantine and his Canadian associates. Upon his return to Canada, he took up residence in Ontario and studied in the fields of audio and multimedia. Since 2001, his focus has been fixed on his experimental music and sound-art project as Scant Intone. Currently living in Montreal, he is working on upcoming solo and collaborative works as well as coordinating projects for both Panospria and Psychonavigation Records. DELRAY [rx-tx/asphodel/reflective] Matthew Biederman’s (DelRay) diverse range of audiovisual performances and installations find their common ground in themes of “cut-up” electronic image delivery, media saturation, data systems and electromagnetic spectrum scanning. Biederman, who has performed and exhibited both nationally and internationally, has recently developed his work via various prestigious artist-in-residence programs or festival “laboratories” including the Center for Experimental Television (New York), Makrolab (while situated at Blair Atholl, Scotland) and SIGGRAPH. In addition to winning awards as Bay Area Artist in New Media (New Langton Arts) and first prize at the Break21 Festival (Slovenia), his work has been exhibited in numerous festivals including the 7 Festival Internacional (Lima, Peru) New Forms Festival (Vancouver, Canada), the Chicago Underground Film Festival, Paris/Berlin Recontres International, and Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Biederman also performs extensively in the US and abroad most recently at such venues as Signal Sever! (Futuresonic04, ISEA, and venues in Vienna, Ljubljana, and Paris) as well as the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago where he works with a variety of sound artists to perform Audio/Visual compositions.
