[Fishead] [ fishead.gabber.org ]
"Before his eyes a kaleidoscopic range of fantasmal images played, all of them dissolving at intervals into the picture of a vast, unplumbed abyss of night wherein whirled suns and worlds of an even profounder blackness. He thought of the ancient legends of Ultimate Chaos, at whose center sprawls the blind idiot god Azathoth, Lord Of All Things, encircled by his flopping horde of mindless and amorphous dancers..." -H.P.Lovecraft It may be fiction, but in some ways Lovecraft's ominous Haunter Of The Dark really does exist. The words conjure up a vision of a dark warehouse where a lone figure conducts the movements of the horde. This figure isn't the blind idiot god of lore, but rather a DJ who mimics that essence behind an altar adorned with turntables: presiding over the madness and deciphering the codes hidden in the grooves. The decoded message is then amplified through speakers and the sonic tentacles draw out your pain through the ecstasy of movement. You are made a slave to the beat, marching to the drum of a sinister power. Zombified by the aneurythms of tech-step, the entropy of speedcore and the pure abyss of noise. This is the unique experience promised by one of Canada's most respected DJs in the hardcore genre: Fishead. In just a few short years he has managed to build a reputation that far exceeds his Winnipeg roots. He's been booked coast to coast across North America and, in the process, has built up an impressive resume that includes gigs for some of the continent's most respected promoters and praise from many of his peers. As well as being considered an influence behind the decks, he has also helped to give the underground a strong voice with his written contributions to a variety of electronic music magazines including Skreem, Activated, Deadly Type and a long standing relationship with Massive. This, however, only covers one facet of what he does. In addition to the Fishead pseudonym he also plays techno as C-Horse, drum & bass as Piranha and has produced noise music as The Bastard God. Any of these 'personalities' can manifest itself at any point during a set. It's not uncommon for pounding kick drums to sneak into a Piranha set, nor is it odd for a techno set to mutate into hardcore or jungle or both. There is no set list, no rehearsal, no specific way to play any given record. It's all about spontaneous creation. He credits a number of DJs for pushing him in this direction, and the only thing that they really have in common is a willingness to try something new. His influences span many genres and include performers like Titonton, Terrence Parker, Dan Doormouse, Richie Hawtin, Claude Young and a large number of turntablists. "Those are the DJs who will surprise you by doing the most bizarre shit," he says. "They'll play records backwards by hand, scratch, juggle beats... in short, they'll do whatever it takes to knock things off balance and keep them teetering on the cutting edge. When I hear from someone who thinks about me that way, then I know I've done my job." !ONELOVE |

[Stephen Beaupre] -Musique Risquee
Since he began djing 6 years ago, Stephen has always been dedicated to the audience, crafting his sets in an extrovert manner by interpreting the response of the crowd, by playing with the audience instead of for the audience. Always funky, his sets combine house and groovy techno in a sometimes deep, sometimes energetic and rarely linear style. With technical precision, Stephen keeps his mixing active by constructing new loops from isolated elements of tracks, always trying to assemble new shuffled rhythms and melodies. Having played in lounge atmospheres, clubs and raves, he is able to adapt to new environments in a perceptive and empathetic way making his djing very accessible and grounded. It is this same pursuit of discovering new shuffled patterns of rhythms and combination of sound that has brought Stephen to begin producing music in the minimal techno and house genre. A student of fine arts and electro-acoustic music, he has always been interested in construction of form and pattern. Influenced greatly by the Russian constructivists, his sculptures retain the same elements of self contained geometric forms derived not from emotion but from logical progression. His music however is quite emotive, built with found sounds taken from field recordings and sampled mediaOften quite full, Stephen's music goes for shuffle and groove while remaining standard floor tracks. With heavy reggae influenced basslines and found sound percussion, his heavily textured micro sequenced music is an expression of confusion, cohesion and fragmentation both funky and anxious at the same time. This direction in music inevitably brought on the collision which is Crack Haus Crack Haus is the bastard child of Techno and House: the family secret. Unlike Akufen whom one can present to the world saying "look at our beautiful hybrid of house and techno. Isn't he great?" Crack Haus lives under the stairs, and eats bugs. The first Crack Haus release was on the Force inc compilation "Montreal Smoked Meat". Recently, they remixed the Akufen's hit single "Deck the House" released may 2002 with an additional remix by Herbert. Future releases for Crack Haus include 12 inches on "Touch of Class", and "Risquée". As well, a full length album is set for a tentative January release. The live sets of Crack Haus are energetic and thumping, groovy and sloppy, deep and piercing, 4/4 music that's had one to many pints. "Musique Risquée" was then born to represent just such a style: the funky glitch minimal house of Montreal. Along with Akufen, Deadbeat and Vincent Lemieux, Stephen Beaupré has been involved in making Risquée a reality for the past year. Focusing primarily on artists in Montreal, the goal of Risquée is to promote the aesthetic of the city's minimal scene (made popular by events like Mutek and FCMM) in a funky and accessible manner, at the same time "listening music" and dance floor friendly. Always pushing the envelope in quality and technique, Risquée is simultaneously fun and groovy as it is introspective. |
