Description:

The Pheek project is the brain child of Jean-Patrice Rémillard, a long time music lover. Drawn by the possibilities found in live performance, Jean-Patrice dedicates himself to it. Up to then, he had been an occasional fixture at various raves since 1992, but in 1998 he found his direction after a set by Richie Hawtin at the Medialounge. The Pheek project was born soon after, with the purchase of machines which helped fuel his passion for sound.

Initially working with Mateo Murphy, the two friends played regularly at various events in Montreal, including the Medialounge, Electra, Club Unity, Mutek, as well as quite a few raves. They were also responsible for the first release on the Hautec label, and Pheek's rapid evolution attracted the attention of Hybrid Structure, with whom he released his first album, "Pheekology 101." The album was based on the utilisation of everyday sounds, and was recorded live at a rave, an event which is still remembered and talked about to this day.

Afterwards came an important turning point, his meeting with Éloi Brunelle, who asked him to participate in the first Epsilon Lab event. "DO what you feel like", Eloi told him, which were important words to hear for an artist who didn't know how to place his music [is difficult to categorise, and for whom finding a niche is become more and more difficult]. This alliance would prove to be very beneficial for Pheek, who would later release his album "Paysages Matriciels" with the collective: A release which would earn him a nomination at the ADISQ in the Electronic Music category, as well as numerous positive reviews.
