 Coolness: 149105 | ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT
THANKS SO MUCH, first of all, for everyone's MAD support for Broken Crew and Myagi last week, that was really memorable, unpossibly ill, fucking A, I had a wicked time, and I wasn't even drunk until 5 OCLOCK IN THE FUCKING MORNING. at which point i got wasted, smoked some hash and fell flat on my face on my futon. didn't eat any cookies (due to fear of chef rhys and his evil plans to take over the world with THC) word. coming up this week THURSDAY OCTOBER 13th... mix thursdays present TAG TEAM NIGHT volume 1 we've lined up three sick tag team combos for ya'll, should work really well GALAKSY (in da jungle, freak addiction crew) & BASS FACIAL (beat concierge) -a tag team between two of city's illest DnB DJs, the well established iDJ rep. GALAKSY and the upandcomin BASS FACIAL who's been turnin heads with sets at KO, solid mixing and tight tekky selections for the heads DJ TIPSY T (drunken midget) & PINKY 38 (planete break) -definitely an interesting combination, the only thing these two have in common is the BPM or their sets: around 130-135.. oh ya, also, they're both solid DJs who play FUNKY-ass shit. With Pinky supplying the breaks, and Tipsy supplying the 4/4 (usually)... who knows what'll happen. I have a feeling both of them will pull out all the stops, playing into their partners' style, and eventually ended up covered in fluorsecent chop suey, frolicking naked on the ceiling of saphir dripping gelatinous pleasure-ooze onto the blown heads and into the exposed inner brains of the mix thursday faithful.

FISHEAD & [tobias c. van Veen] [ www.controltochaos.ca ] -In the early 90's Fishead made his mark in the Winnipeg underground as the hardest of the hard, destroying turntables for the likes of Addict, Ele_mental & the Drop Bass Network. He began writing for Massive Magazine and was soon sharing Hardcore Editor duties with Doormouse. He has since gone on to annihilate the status quo at events across North America and worldwide. Uncompromising mixes such as the split-cassette with Venetian Snares entitled "Eat Shit and Die" are etched in many a demented memory. As a DJ he is capable of playing just about any style. Or styling any player. He cuts, flips & juggles tracks at a mindnumbing rate and attacks the turntables with an unadulterated fury that must be seen–& heard–to be believed. He currently resides in Montréal, Canada. In his spare time he works in the music industry, scouting talent and distributing the goods... [tobias c. van Veen] is a renegade theorist & pirate, techno-turntablist & writer (Montréal/Vancouver). Since 1993 he has directed conceptual and sound-art events, online interventions and radio broadcasts. Djing for over 10 years, tobias' style is marked by the cut-up & non-linear mixing styles of future techno & house: Detroit, minimal, dub, glitch and acid. Spin that through the regional markers of context & the application of concept (masochism, atmosphere, ritual). His Dj sets have appeared on [ BetaLounge.com ] Burn.fm, NoType's Bricolodge and [ Techno.ca ] and his skills have graced events worldwide. As a digital musician, tobias has a 2005 album on and/OAR with tomas phillips entitled If not, winter. An article discussing his experimental work with turntable scripts appeared in Leonardo Music Journal 13. His work has appeared in CTheory, EBR, Bad Subjects, Leonardo, FUSE (contributing editor), e/i (columnist), the Wire, HorizonZero and through Autonomedia, among others. His writing has been translated into Spanish, Lithuanian and French and his art disseminated through [ Rhizome.org ] [ Javamuseum.org ] [RRF-->XP], Kunstradio & CiTR. From 1993-2000 he was Direktor of the sonic performance Collective on the West Coast and co-founder of [ technoWest.org ] and [ thisistheonlyart.com ] He currently hosts The Upgrade! Montréal and is Concept Engineer at the Society for Arts and Technology. Tobias is a doctoral candidate in Philosophy & Communication Studies at McGill University. His dissertation is on the political and its encounters with digital culture. He also mixes a mean absynthe martini. His blog resides at: [ [ quadrantcrossing.org ] ] & his work is archived at : [ quadrantcrossing.org ] Word on the street is that fishead won't be around much in the future, this may be your last chance to hear him. Fishead has long been one of my favourite Montreal DJs, and has had an significant impact on the Canadian electronic scene at large through all of his various endeavours (^^^) whether in Montreal or in Winnipeg. Big Love. MIX THURSDAYS UPSTAIRS @ SAPHIR 3699 ST-LAURENT 10pm-3am, 2-for-1 beers before midnight in case anyone is wondering (some people asked) it's $4 to get in still, passes and guestlist are valid once again (last week was an exception to try to cover the cost of Myagi's set, lodging and transportation) thanks again for everyone's understanding |

| Coolness: 149105 | JORDAN DARE: (turbo records, [ www.jordandare.com ]
It's late at night, dark & probably raining outside, cigarettes burn in the ashtray, the night sky is full of dark clouds, there is no sun, no stars, just black. In this kind of sea of darkness nothing grows, except music, tracks such as No Love Today, Pressure, Going Under, No Future & Crack Track are rinsed in clubs & charted by everyone from Tiga, Plastque de Reve and more . Dare is a music making machine, in addition to his solo work he is also in 2 electronic bands & is the front man of a local up & coming hard rock group. When he's not producing, he's in the mix 3 or 4 nights a week, that's it, no day job, just tunes, he breathes, eats, sleeps music & it shows, here's the story... In the early nineties, Jordan made a name for himself DJ ing in some of Montreal's seediest night spots like Sona, Blizzarts, Playgroud, Stereo, Jai, Spectrum, Metropolis, S.A.T & Usine C, smoky dark room after smoky dark room, Dare delivers every time, solid tracks & tight mixes, when you see him play it becomes so obvious that he is most comfortable when performing, producing or singing.Having been influenced musically by early electro, new wave , post-punk & drum n bass (by the likes of Joy Division, New order, Kraftwerk, Jonny L, Black Strobe, Depeche Mode , Lenny Dee & Acen) Dare has been DJing for over 15 years & making tracks for over 7, just coming into his own personal sound and style, now, we call in " ominus post-punk new wave electrohouse." Jordan keeps sane by making a track a day in his studio & has built a very impressive catalog of music of his own & for his bands, Evening & the new Cut Throat Republic, he has performed across Canada & all over the world including Miami, New York, & even Japan, (not a good flight to take after a St Patrick's day drinking binge, I still cant believe that he made that flight, he couldn't even remember his own address.) Dare is a resident at Voyeur Saturdays at Blizzarts, (Montreal’s longest running ominus post-punk new wave electrohouse night) & of course famed I Love Neon events along side Tiga. He has also played along side Dj Hell, Martini Bros, Goldie, Sneaker Pimps, The Prodigy, Chemical Bros, Felix da housecat, Grooverider & Fabio, Steve Bug, Afrika Bambataa, Ed Rush & Optical, Front 242, Chromeo, and many many more... Check out Jordan's latest EP entitled, day in day out, on White Leather. BLISS [ www.djbliss.net ] Dj Bliss is one of Montreal's hardest working djs and has been playing the city's club scene every week for nearly a decade. He regularily explores a number of musical styles ranging from Breaks to Electro and Alternative. Recognized as one of the city's most diverse djs, Bliss is a purist's nightmare. He has also been involved in a number of very successful clubnights notably The Grill (Breaks) and Voyeur (Electro). He has played in the U.S., France, Uk, Africa and around Canada. Over the past few years he has played alongside such luminaries as Dj Krush, Afrika Bambaataa, Thievery Corporation, Kid Koala, Krafty Kuts, Bebel Gilberto, and The Streets to name a few.. Originally from White Rock, British Columbia, Bliss moved to Quebec in 1995. His first residency in Montreal was at one of the city's oldest nightspots Le Passeport (in 1997) where he was the main resident for 3 years playing a mix of Electro, Breaks, Industrial and Alternative sounds to a packed house every Friday and Saturday. In 1999, Bliss co-founded The Grill (with Dj T'cha), Montreal's first all breaks night at Blizzarts. It eventually became the most reputable and longest running weekly of its kind (4 years). Often referred to as an institution its reputation stretched well outside Montreal, not only for its global approach to breaks but also for its unique party atmosphere and notable out of town breakbeat superstars. The Grill was voted second Best Club Night by the Montreal Mirror poll in 2001. The Voir voted Bliss among Montreal's top 3 funkiest Djs in its 2002 poll. Two mix cds were recorded in the context of the night: A mix cd Funk Face recorded by T'cha and Bliss (released in 2001), and another Live Mix @ The Grill, recorded by British breaks superstar Dj Scissorkicks (released on the Toronto label 2Wars) which both received excellent reviews. In 2003, Bliss also became a resident at Chemistry, a very successful electro orientated clubnight alongside Djs Mini and Jordan Dare. Packed and sweaty every Saturday it quickly became Montreal's "point de reference" for all things electro. A mix cd La Mish Mash (see reviews) for the night was released in September 2003 to critical acclaim and is currently sold out. In 2004, Bliss revamped the Thursday Grill weekly into the now defunct ApeSh!t weekly, another innovative nightout offering a unique mix of Breaks, House and Electro. Currently Bliss is resident at Voyeur (formally known as Chemistry) alongside local legend Jordan Dare, where he been playing "a mish mash of electro, breakbeat, acid and rock n' roll sounds." for the past two years now. A recent survey of local clubnights by the weekly Montreal newspaper and cultural reference, ICI, nominated Voyeur as Montreal's top Saturday night destination. SEBASTIAN PRELAR (djax records, bass heavy music) Montreal's pre-eminent international ghetto tek export. Born here, former member of The 909 Soldiers with DJ Kal who runs the Montreal based techno label In-Filtration Records, Sebastian has been fascinated by electronic music since the early 90's. He really got involved in composing and creating in 1997. Being active on the Montreal techno scene for years, he acquired experience by giving quite a few live shows downtown and around the city. He then got signed and released his first tracks on Disktrick and In-Filtration Records in 1999. Prelar's style is mostly groovy bangin' & jackin' techno, armed with pounding heavy beats and raw vocals. In 2003 he joined the Djax-Up-Beats team and released his first EP, remixed DJ Rush and then got signed on the german techno label Highball Music. He also got signed lately on DJ Bam Bam's Chicago based label, Bass Heavy Music. SARCASTIC (level 4 productions) 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, hardcore acts such as Dr. Macabre or Delta 9 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. |
