| Description: | All star line-up, all styles mixed up, live finger drumming... all mad fun! **************** ASHES Ottawa [ soundcloud.com ] Ashes began producing back in '99 after experimenting with an odly named program, Fruity Loops, for the first time. Excited by the prospect of being able to produce music he was eager to learn all he could. He began writing Trance and started building a foundation of knowledge and experience that would carry into his future projects. After attending a rave and hearing Freeform (Trancy Hardcore) he bumped the BPM up in his productions from 140 to 175 and started DJing. Noticing the breakbeat breakdown in Hardcore, Ashes began stumbling upon new hard and dark Drum and Bass. DnB had the same hard bass and grimey leads but with beats that could be twisted and mangled into all kinds of amazing patterns. The switch from Hardcore to Drum and Bass gave Ashes a new appreciation for breakbeats and he was hooked - producing anything from hip hop to big beat to dubwise. As good as Drum and Bass was Ashes was starting to get bored and needing something new. Dubstep was all the rage but he couldn't stand 99% of it until he heard the smash hit Drumstick by Giant. After hearing it he decided he would try his hand at a remix/cover. Once finished, he had a new appreciation for Dubstep and slowly started finding more and more tunes that he loved. Now he regularly DJ's and produces both Dubstep and DnB many time combining both genres into the same song or DJ set. Ashes is a graduate of T.A.R.A. (The Audio Recording Academy) Ottawa and offers mastering services at affordable prices. He also runs an Ableton production workshop teaching both new and experienced producers the techniques he has picked up over the years. **************** DIALECT [ www.soundcloud.com ] Straight outta the northern lands of Deux-Montagnes... Initially influenced by hip hop acts such as KRS One, Native Tongues, Gangstarr, Jeru tha damaja., He began to pursue a hip hop scratch dj status in 97. With the newer generation of "Shit-Hop" emerging from numerous hip hop labels, he became frustrated, fed up, and discontinued purchasing hip hop vinyls altogether. Still producing hip hop instrumentals, and working with local MC's, Dj Dialect was still unsatisfied with the current "scene" until his first visit to the afterhours. An easy convert to the Break Beat sound, Dialect blends the precision skills of turntablism with an ear for the underground electronic music community. Dialect can be heard spinnin' "Bassline Erectro, Real Skool Breaks, Dirty Disco, Whore-House, Fist Funk, and Drugstep" **************** FAMELIK [ www.facebook.com ] **************** About us: Forward was established in the summer of 2008 as platform to promote underground electronic music, filling the absence of a weekly rendez-vous for the alternative club scene. Originally thought out to be a hosting ground for drum’n’bass, jungle, breaks and dubstep, Forward grew and evolved into a night made to showcase a wide array of genres and scenes working with a variety of different crews and artists such as Loetech, Sixtoo, DZ, Datsik, Spor and Plastician, to name a few. **************** + FORWARD RESIDENTS: Rhys Taylor, a nightlife legend who has been playing alongside big names of the international electronic music scene in Montreal for almost 10 years now. Holding down "Your Radio is Broken" on CKUT for the past 5 years, throwing Mix Thursdays for almost 3 years, a residency at Blue Dog, Saphir and then Blizzarts with Broken Crew and bringing breaks to Stereo are a few of his accomplishments. David Rawalia aka Wally, a dj who has been mastering his craft since 2003 and more recently producing his own unique sounds. After promoting rave culture and sound and organizing a multitude of one-off all-nighters, he moved on to the dubstep scene taking full-part in the forward weekly as well as participating in other events such as soma and bassdrive. **************** Passeport 2037 Saint-Denis Come check out the freshly tuned sound system, stick around for dope tunes and cheap booze, before you know, it's 3 am and you're kindly being informed that you need to move your butt outside... ain't that the meaning of Thursday? 3$ before midnight - 5$ at the door all night |
