M_U_S_I_C

Canadian tech/house/minimal dj + producer + promoter . . .

While tech-house + minimal is my main focus, I also dig electro, down-tempo, and eclectic "thrift store finds." The broad appeal of this unique blend results in regular invitations to play at a variety of events -- from private parties to afterhours clubs to art vernissages -- in places such as Ottawa, Toronto, France, Dublin, Amsterdam, and Berlin.

With a love for both tradition and technology, I play vinyl, and digitaly; external efx and looping add to the fun. I feel that the technical role of the dj is to explore and exploit the mix, using smooth programming and varied tranistions to create unique, spontaneous sets appropriate to the mood of the crowd.

I believe the dj's musical role is to share new sounds with new audiences . . . speaking of which, here are some of my mixes:


Head Shop
glitchy + moody minimal
dj mix with SSL + loops + efx

Tracklists and more dj mixes here . . . See me in person for high quality CD versions of my latest mixes!

Back in Ottawa -- working alongside vj DO as "The Latest Artists" -- with custom lighting, live video, and guest dj's from across Canada, we co-host Tech/Tonic, building new audiences for minimal electronic music in Canada's capital city.

Here's one of our demo reels:

I also make things.

Here's a video of my light sculpture, "Conduit (i)" (more info here):

Below is a sample of my painting / collage work (you can see more here) . . .


"spokey dope"
12" x 12" acrylic + photocopy transfer on canvas


"You are kind-hearted and hospitable, cheerful and well-liked."
5" x 7" acrylic + collage + photocopy transfer on canvas

You can see more work here.

Who I'd like to meet:

People who walk the walk and not just talk the talk, and don't complain all the time; people who play records; people who make music, art, stuff, etc.

About comments: if I delete your comment, it's either because it's way too big, is an expired event, or is irrelavant on my page; thanks for the love, though!

Samstag, 14/03/2009 WEIßES RAUSCHEN "against Techno Boheme" ____________ HORST KRZBRG live: CLICKBOX (minus - sau paulo) dj: DOLE & KOM rec. release (bondage music) AXEL BARTSCH (sportclub) ANARKI (barfuss) ============================ Weißes Rauschen - against Techno Boheme! Unter dem Begriff weißes Rauschen versteht man in der Audiotechnik ein Rauschen, welches konstant alle Frequenzbereiche abdeckt - theoretisch von unendlich minus bis unendlich plus. Der unendliche Ton als Massstab, ein Rauschen als Ursprung! "Less talking, more dancing" (Jake the Rapper) 14. März im Horst Krzbrg: Da wo sich Literatur und Ramsch begegnen, direkt am Halleschen Tor, streifen wir die Basssöckchen über und widmen uns (nicht) NUR der Musik. In einer frischen Location, die zu wissen scheint wie Techno zu klingen hat - nämlich warm, klar und nicht ganz leise. Den Nagel auf den Kopf getroffen: 12 Stunden Spielzeit, 4 Künstler, Spaß & Hörerlebnisse Lenzus Photo Sharing

Minimal1st presents Plus 8 Records feat. Alexi Delano.


Plus 8, label fondamental de M_nus et maitre-étalon en techno minimaliste, créé par Richie HAWTIN et John ACQUAVIVA en mai 90, sera représenté par Alexi DELANO en dj set samedi 20 décembre au KiosK Club à LILLE.
Natif du Chili, ayant grandi en Suède, Alexi coproduit au milieu des 90s à Stockholm et à New York avec Cari Lekebusch, et signe en 2006 à Madrid au côté d' Xpansul « Intelligence Reframed Ep » laissant leur empreinte à la techno minimale.
La 1ere soirée Minimal1st a eu lieu le 21 juin 1997 dans un fort militaire de la région Lilloise.
Le crew Minimal1st, composé d' UFO, DEEPRAKER et James BACON construit son identité aussi bien dans le choix de leurs invités que dans leur propre programmation musicale.
Le duo Barcelonais Dean-Amo et Shewby échauffera le dance floor lors d'un warm up à la sauce Ibérique.

bienvenida... bienvenue... welcome... !!! dans une atmosphère minimal-tech-house qui crée le succes des soirées minimal1st depuis tant d'années.
