| Extras: | Featuring: DJ Living Stone - Mtl DJ Bliss - Mtl Dj Bliss has been playing the city's club scene every week for nearly a decade. He regularly explores a number of musical styles ranging from all styles of Breaks and Electro and House. Recognized as one of the city's most musically diverse djs, Bliss is a purist's nightmare. He has been involved in a number of very successful club nights notably The Grill (Breakbeats) and Voyeur (Electro). Over the past few years he has played hundreds of venues across the city, from small clubs to afterhours events alongside such luminaries as Dj Krush, Afrika Bambaataa, MSTRKRFT, Girl Talk, Freddy Fresh, Kool Herc, Atomic Hooligan, Aquasky, Thievery Corporation, Kid Koala, Krafty Kuts, Bebel Gilberto, Bonobo and The Streets to name a few. During his 16 years as a Dj, Bliss has traveled and played all over the world, notably the U.S., Africa, Israel, France and the UK. His first club residency in Montreal was at one of the city's oldest nightspots Le Passeport (in 1997) where he was the main resident for 3 years playing a mix of Electro, Breaks, Industrial and Alternative sounds to a packed house every Friday and Saturday. In 1999, Bliss co-founded The Grill (with Dj T'cha). It eventually became the most reputable and longest running weekly of its kind (4 years). Often referred to as a "breaks" institution its reputation stretched well outside Montreal, not only for its global approach to breaks but also for its unique party atmosphere and notable out of town breakbeat superstars such as Krafty Kuts and Atomic Hooligan. It was voted second Best Club Night by the Montreal Mirror poll in 2001. The Voir voted Bliss among Montreal's top 3 funkiest Djs in its 2002 poll. In 2003, Bliss also become resident at Chemistry, Montreal's longest running electro orientated club night (originally founded by Jordan Dare). Packed and sweaty every weekend it quickly became Montreal's "point de reference" for all things electro. In 2004 the night was into revamped Voyeur with Bliss and Jordan Dare as residents to become one of the best club nights in Montreals recent history. In 2005 the immensely popular Voyeur weekly was moved to the much bigger Societe Des Arts Technologique venue where it continued to run on a monthly basis until 2007. Bliss has also been resident at a number of other specialized club nights such as Flexout (IDM/Breaks) and is the founder of the monthly Mind The Gap event, Montreal's only night dedicated to British Pop & Indie music. He also hosted a short lived internet radio show in 2000 (Beats N`Breaks on [ Sweet-ting.com ] and worked for many years as manager and Breaks/Electro buyer for the renowned Noize record store. Bliss also produces music with longtime friend Freqboy under the name Answer. He has also been featured in a number of short documentaries and movies (in particular a documentary on St. Laurent) and has guested on many of the cities major radio stations. AND... Filastine - Barcelona Grey Filastine is a musician/producer based in Barcelona but rarely found there. Among his 60+ gigs last year you might have caught him at a club in London, on a junk raft floating down the Mississippi river, at Shambhala festival in Canada, at a tiny breakcore party in Osaka, or in front of forty thousand at the hiphop festival Boulevards in Casablanca. In any context it gets riotous- Filastine bangs out his music, jumping between a tangle of electronics, acoustic percussion, and an amplified shopping cart, firing off riddims and synchronized live video. In 2006 Filastine released Burn It on DJ Rupture’s boutique imprint Soot Records to much critical acclaim. Vibrant and original, Burn It made inroads among music fans from the hiphop, world, electronic, and experimental scenes; it was snatched up and re-released by Jarring Effects, Japanese label ROMZ, and anarcho-collective Crimethinc. Tracks from the album received UK airplay on the tastemaker shows of Mary Anne Hobbes & John Peel, and in France peaked at #15 in Ferarock radio charts. Less visible are the spins on underground stations across Latin America, or the hundred thousand downloads of his dj mix commissioned by [ Blentwell.com ] Other releases include pirate mixtapes and a selection of sold-out vinyl. Look for his latest 12” on Tigerbeat6/Shockout with partner Maga Bo in their duo project Sonar Calibrado. Before starting up this project, Filastine split his time between driving a taxi in the United States and a series of long research travels- one season playing with coke-fueled samba batucadas in Rio de Janeiro, another in the Moroccan village of Jajouka absorbing their equally intoxicated music. In 1999 he founded the Infernal Noise Brigade, a 20-piece marching band that was the soundtrack of the globalization protests that opened this century, starting with the blockade of the Seattle WTO summit. The Infernal Noise Brigade was purpose-built to bring music to political movements in the street. Filastine is a project to do the reverse, pumping the immediacy of the street through sound systems. This February Filastine drops Dirty Bomb, a gritty transnational soundclash of urban rhythm, on french label Jarring Effects in Europe, ROMZ in Japan, Soot in US/UK, and Uber Lingua in Australia. He will spend 2009 touring along his DIY trade routes. Expect to find him everywhere. + Special Guests [ www.youtube.com ] - FILASTINE [ www.zshare.net ] - DJ BLISS |
