LONESTAR (Montreal)
[ DJLonestar.com ] - Freeform

Lone Star burst onto the scene mid 2005 armed with nothing more than his obsession to discover Freeform’s distinctive yet hidden charm. His continuous journey to seek out and break new musical barriers had made him travel multiple times to cities such as Toronto and Quebec City within his very first year of DJing. Picking up a reputation as one of the most exciting new prospects in the Montreal’s hard dance scene and injecting his own unique take on hardcore, great things are expected to come. Watch for his smirk as he goes all out behind the tables...

PHOSPHOR
Blizzard Tracks – Dark DnB

Co-owner of Blizzard Tracks alongside Justrich, DJ phosphor is a pioneer of the Canadian hardcore scene. Producing and DJing for over 7 years as one half of the Blizzard Boys, he has mastered the genre of freeform. However, it is a lesser known fact he is also a master of dark drum and bass. Phosphor will be laying down some heavy jungle beats for your listening pleasure for a change.

VH3
The Deep Blue on CKCU 93.1 FM - Morning epic trance

VH3 has been spinning many styles of music at raves and events and on the radio since 1995. This time, he unleashes one of his favorite sources of inspiration: beautiful epic trance tracks.. delivered with a kick! This DJ draws from his many musical passions including electro and techno to forge his own style of DJ sets that include trance but with a number of twists. His sets are spontaneous and are an intense reflection of his mood. Morning sets are his favourites because he loves seeing people dance even when they thought they didn't have the energy to party any more! For more, you can visit his website: [ www.vh3.info ]

MIKE JAMES (Montreal)
House

An Ottawa native, Mike is recognized for being able to move large crowds & his impeccable mixing abilities. He has been a longtime active participant, both as a dj & promoter, in Ottawa's rave & underground community. During his years of dj'ying and promoting in the 613, he always tried to provide opportunities for new local talent to be heard and appreciated.

He first appeared in the scene in 1990, where he held a residency in the region's first "house music" oriented club, CHEZ HENRI, on the Hull (Québec, Canada) bar strip. In 1996, Mike turned his interest to radio. He created and hosted several radio shows on CHUO-FM, 89.1 (UNDERGROUND FM, HOUSEFUL FRIDAYS, SONAR) to name a few.

In 1999 came the residency at ILLUSIONS (Ottawa, Canada) afterhours. In 2000, Mike also teamed up with SERGE and KID SL as part of FULL FORCE productions and headlined at all their major events (RADIOHYPE, THRILLER)... Around the same time, he began hosting a night at THE WELL (Ottawa, Canada). People from the industry came to call it their home on Sundays.The focus of this night was to help new, fresh talent get a chance to be recognized. Mike was also instrumental in creating a monthly fundraiser named XVI SUNDAYS at THE WELL.

In 2000, Mike was chosen to represent Ottawa at ARRIVAL (Montreal, Canada). That same year, he opened for Commander Tom at PARADISE (Montreal). That is where he met a dj that would become a close friend... (dj A.R.D) who hapened to be responsible for a key afterhours in Québec City and owner of APOCALYPTICS productions. As a result of this meeting of the minds, Mike became a resident at CUBE afterhours in Québec and also played most of the major raves held in that city (TAKE OFF, VERSUS) to name a few.

In 2002 Mike joined forces with DAYLIGHT afterhours in Otttawa and managed with good promoting skills and local friend djs to keep a small afterhours club afloat and relevant for a period of 2 years. In 2002, Mike's perseverance and talent finally brought him to SONA (Montreal) where he headlined with Lafleche. In 2003, he began the year with a headlining slot at Ray Junior's APOCALYPSE (Montreal) where he opened for PUSH.

2004/2005... Mike opened for Preach @ the mega-rave Peace held in the Gatineau hills. After which, he took some time away from the scene, a much needed break after many yrs of devotion to the cause.

2005/2006...Before moving to Montreal Mike created a new type of event in Ottawa, a daytime afterhours named "Sundaze". A renewed effort to give local djs a chance to be heard and appreciated. The event which celebrated it's 2nd year anniversary lately still occurs weekly !
