Mike Shannon
From his humble beginnings in the sleepy suburban town of Kitchener Ontario, the last 15 years have seen him become an internationally
lauded producer with albums on 3 of the industry’s most respected
labels (Plus 8, Force Inc, ~Scape), as well as a steady stream of
consistently charted singles and remixes. While some may suggest he
has gravitated towards smoother, deeper selections as the years go by,
those in the know will tell you he has few equals when it comes to
whipping dance floors into a relentless techno frenzy should you catch
him on a night with that mischievous twinkle in his eye.
Nitin
With two decades of experience within the house and techno industry,
Nitin Kalyan’s depth of knowledge and work ethic is second to none.
The Canadian artist has not only established himself as a highly skilled
and polished DJ on the global circuit, but he also lends his uncanny
musical ability to events promotion, label management, A&R, curating
festival line-ups and marketing campaigns, as well as producing his ownmusic. Having such a diverse range of skills means he is one of the
most adept and influential artists to have come out of Canada and
places him at the forefront of the ever-evolving worldwide scene.
Drummachinemike (Live PA)
Drummachinemike is an electronic musician and composer, based in
Canada, who creates future-forward music built from a patchwork of
organic and machine-based sound. By blurring the lines beyond
recognition between IDM, Electronica, Trip-Hop, Braindance and Lo-Fi
Ambient, one is left with the feeling of familiarity, yet simultaneously
experiencing something unlike anything heard before. Drummachinemike’s cinematic and emotively driven approach to electronic composition seamlessly transitions from immersive soundscapes to intricate and jarring drum patterns, pushing the listener further into the next realm of musical abstraction. Neither sounding dated nor contemporary, this is truly the sound of the future. Follow along.
