Michel Lloyd

Bio:

Michel Lloyd moved from Quebec City to Montreal at the turn of the millennium. In electronic music, he found a means of expression that matched his personality and enabled him to free his creative spirit. Drawing inspiration from the visual arts as well as the urban pulse and other stimulating sounds found in his newly adopted metropolis, he launched his music-making career with a longtime respected peer Pheek on his label Archipel. Within the first week of its release, his debut album, Rêve Analogue, quickly climbed to the top 20 minimal chart on Beatport. Enthralled by the burgeoning Montreal electronica scene, he started hanging with a number of DJs, and their influence led him to refine the aesthetics of his compositions. Falling into the minimal techno genre, his compositions are textured, beat-driven hookfests, the true dimensions of which are best experienced live. The years 2007 to 2009 have been particularly fecund for him. His work has been met with consistent acclaim and drawn regular performance invitations to perform at some of the most respected local events, including Montreal's own Mutek Festival, Piknic Électronik and most recenlty NYE Kiss N Fly, Confessions and the monthly FLEX night at Circus Afterhours. With upcoming new releases and more bookings for this talented artist in 2009, Michel Lloyd is inevitably destin to break international boundaries in the near future. .. ..
