Here is Les activités - Mix No. 5, in which Montréal's young producer Keru Not Ever grants us with an hour long of inspirational music for the contemporary beatmaker/sound experimentalist. 

Lots of friends' music in here, as much as classic electronic works. With those references in hand, Keru Not Ever is definitely an emerging artist to keep an eye on, and we are looking forward to see him [LIVE], hopefully soon!

Keru Not Ever is a new project led by a concept and a desire for ultimate transparency through the dynamics and the contradictory ecologies of the contemporary world.  Previously known as ‘’Dramasuit’’ and ‘’Blue Midas’’, which were aliases assumed in a perspective of ‘’explorations in the hyper-inspirational and aversion-inducing era of the soundcloud/bedroom/only-singles-no-album beatmaker’’, Keru Not Ever is now working on his first full-length album: ‘’BODY SCAN FULL STREAM”.

Joni Void is the newly minted pseudonym of producer Jean Cousin – known until now in the Soundcloud, Bandcamp and other online communities as Johnny Ripper. 
  
A self-taught musician making tracks since he was 14 years old and living in Lille, France, Cousin moved to Montréal in 2012 to pursue Film Studies. He plunged into the city’s fertile DIY/loft scene and in a spirited transformation, evolved from cloistered bedroom/virtual persona to highly engaged organizer and performer. Cousin has self-released a cavalcade of original albums and remixes since 2011; Selfless is his debut release on a record label. 
  
Cousin’s earliest records, made as a teenager, combine piano and field recordings, inspired by the film soundtracks of Jon Brion, Philip Glass and Yann Tiersen and the sample worlds as Boards Of Canada, The Books, Four Tet and Burial. His efforts situated him within a compelling network to bedroom artists and DIY producers with analogous lo-fi production and song-making intuition who espoused the ethos of self-release, sharing/interacting directly and personally through the internet. An increasing obsession with micro-sampling, aleatory composition, history of cinema and the techniques of foley and film sound editing – along with an expansively active practice of remixing and beat-making – has seen Cousin’s music flourish in fascinating ways. Perhaps most importantly, Cousin now constructs his tracks entirely from found sources and aims not to ‘play’ anything at all. His personal hero Delia Derbyshire (White Noise; the early years of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop) cemented his commitment to making musique concrète avant-pop inspired by these analog tape-based pioneers (albeit now utilising today’s more accessible digital tools).

She is a student of electroacoustics at Concordia University and the recipient of the AH and LB Austin Award, the highest award given in the program.
