This is an Old Bio , New One on The Way
The musical roots of DJ Indica are pretty diversified.
Indica liked to listen to inspiring bands in the 80's such as the Ramones, Sex Pistols,
Black Sabbath etc. These talented artists infuenced Indica's "Fuck off" punk/metal
attitude in music. Then around the corner came the 90's with the industrial underground
techno..metal music scene. This opened a door for Indica, the possibility of mixing beat to
beat with punk..metal sound to electronic pounding drums, this new sound made Indicas
talents come into play. Indica was one of the first few Djs to bring this remarkable and
astounding sound on the dance floor of Montreal.
One night in 1994, Indica with his long hair and leather jacket was finishing up work,
when a few friends were telling him about an all night "Rave-Party" that was going on
that night. At first he was hesitant, "Dance music?" he said, his friend replied,
"It's not what you may think".Being an open-minded friend & musician off they went to
the party "Neksus" After a couple hours of watching and listening to the DJ, Indica had
made up his mind. The next day he sold his Cd player and bought himself decks.
In 1998 after playing in many bars and doing several radio shows, Indica had his first gig
at a party called "Majick", he then introduced his name to the scene, with an amazing set
to end the party of 1500 kids.
Then came 1999!!! KABOOM!!!! The invasion began.Indica ambushed the province of Quebec
with 22 parties! He grabbed Montreal by the balls, he layed it down hard for Trois Rivieres,
he shook up Sherbrooke and conquered his favorite city to play... Quebec City!!! He is 'pulling-the-pin-out-of-the-grenade' with the Stay Up Forever Collective Label. This is where
the kick ass 303 and the 909's is fuckin 'avin it! That year, Indica and his best friend,
DJ Pop-eye, began their own production company, "Sweet Leaf Production".
With huge success, they threw their first two parties, Embryon and Trick-or-Treat.
He also started "The Matrix Night" with Yaz and Pop-eye, a weekly techno night at the Sphinx nightclub. Also on his schedule many bar appearance and radio show to educate the
people to ACID TECHNO!!!
For 2000, Indica plays in Quebec City for their Millenium celebration.The first of 59 parties
and first of 12 different cities throughout Canada. This is also the year where Indica and S4
bring a new meaning to the DJ term 'tag-team'. They are the first to play on
4 decks and 3 mixers, pleasing the crowd with techno harmony, they chose to work
by co-operation, rather than most tag-team DJ battles on stage. That year Indica met
Chris Liberator and Mark Tyler, Sharing many music interests in sounds, Indica inspired,
tag-teamed with both remarkable DJ's. Also that year, Sweet Leaf Production threw 3 more
parties called "Foetus, Genetik and Basic", and they collaborated with Millenium production for celebration of "The Arrival 4". They also collaborated with Ray Junior's Halloween event,
"Gloom 3". Matrix Thursday night turned into Restart Night with Indica & DJ Iznogood
(the dj that broke a record in the guiness world record Book for playing 38 hours at a
rave-party (without drugs !!!)
For 2001, Beginning a non-stop marathon of over 60 parties, Indica starts the new year at "Apocalypse 2001" in Montreal. also having a great spring, Sweet Leaf Productions holds
"Embryon v2.0", with great success to kick off a great summer of outdoor festivals such as "Revolution Radar One" in Quebec, "W.E.M.F",(8000 people!) in Ontario, and also stomping
in the woods in Trois Rivieres. S.L.P finishes off a kick ass summer holding celebration "A.D.N.Genetik 2", also great fun and huge success. S.L.P also collaberate with Ray Junior
again at "EvolutionRadarOne" & "Gloom 4".
Now, the present time Indicas record label born with the first release, "The First Harvest".
Tracks such as, "Hey ho, lets go"(Indica & DDR), and "Be Sedated",(HPS 1000, Indica &
Pop-eye) are scheduled to be released on C.O.S.H.H. records early in December.
Friend and fellow dj, The Coffee Man proposed to Indica to remix his track of "I Seek You",
so , "The Assault Remix" was born, so listen up for it to be released on vinyl on
Tektribe Records 2002!
Right now Indica is working on his own cd project that will be released early sometime in 2002.
