GERONIMO [ www.welovemusique.com ] Geronimo Inutiq is the child of Quebecois multidisciplinary artist Michel Bussieres and Baffin Island Inuk Leah Inutiq. Born in Iqaluit, Nunavut (then Frobisher Bay, NWT) in 1978, Geronimo was exposed to the vast expanses of pristine nature that is Baffin Island, running free in the midnight summer sun, chasing lemmings, picking blackberries, and experiencing the long cold night of winter. His mother worked in broadcast, and as a child he hung out in the CBC building in Montreal. In Quebec City, 1994, his father built a budget home music studio, where Geronimo got a taste of electronic music through his father's analog and early digital synths and vintage drum machines. It was not long before Geronimo was producing and performing as "the madeskimo" with his seminal Quebec rap crew Presha Pack, and opened for Saukrates, Kardinal Offishal, the Raskalz, Dr. Frankenstein, the X-ecutioners. Collecting all types of records for sampling fodder, on top of being exposed to his father's eclectic tastes in music, Geronimo was expanding his musical horizons and was DJing in an African Bar, playing R&B, dancehall, Hip Hop and Zouk at the age of 17. Moving to Montreal to attend university in an anthropology major, Geronimo got a taste for the electronic music scene and developed a fixation to "Intelligent Dance Music." To this day his array of experiences shines through in his varied and eclectic mixes of choice vinyl. INSOMNIAK [ www.insomniak.ca ] Paul McFetridge is a producer and DJ based in Montreal, Canada whose sound can be described as a mashup of heavyweight breakbeats and funky analog techno. As a producer, he has releasesd two 12" singles (under the name Phreak) and numerous compilation appearances and independent CD releases. The single "Deep Phreak" was remixed by house legend John Aquaviva and found its way on to DJ playlists around the world. His works for televison include the 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". He can also be heard on CBC "ZED TV" and soon on "Nerve".

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 [ www.panospria.com ] Constantine Katsiris has been active in exploring the electronic arts since the early 1990s. He chose the alias Khanfucius and began as a DJ in 1996, playing an assortment of strange, abstract and ambient music at 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 and label Panospria. Musical side projects around this time included playing synths and laptop in the improv electronic band Mandelbrot Set and co-producing an album as Break Fluid with Sasafras of the hiphop group Isosceles. His first solo album 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 Phoniq, Panospria and Psychonavigation Records. |
