Funky Dope

From deep disco, dub techno to funky house and techno, djlp will get you moving. Lorien Partridge has surpassed 20 years of dance floor seduction in western Canada. He hosted the Heartbeats program on CJSR 88.5FM radio and he has had the privilege of opening for heavies like Johnny Fiasco, Chuck Love, Flipside, Lafleche and Seb Fontaine (to name a few) with his unique house perspective. Lorien grew up in a musical household and was caught the bug listening to early experimental electronic music ranging between Vangelis, Chick Corea, George Duke and Herbie Hancock as well as funk, jazz, soul and blues. His first real residency was at Therapy After Hours beginning in 1998 (ish?) which lasted over 5 years and he played 5 consecutive Motion Notion Festivals as well as  Astral Harvest 2013 & 2014. Lorien has organized several events under the Momentum title and has been self-releasing tracks on Soundcloud. His track 'doitmoveit' was selected to be released on independent label Oak Apple Records compilation Edmontronic. His sound draws deep house, tribal, and technological music together in a fluid transition of mood and energy.

Darryl aka DJ WHAT!? started out in 98' searching for his own style of music. In 2000 breakbeat took over. He had found his calling and has stuck with breaks ever since. Playing alongside dj's such as Stanton Warriors, Freestylers, Deekline, Marty McFly, General Midi, Autobots, Shamik, Myagi, Sweetz, Groove Alligience, Fort Knox 5, Matt the Alien and many more. All that have heard him and that have me him know that breaks are his specialty! And as time goes on he will continue to bring the breakbeat flava to the scene! Alongside his breakbeat brothers he will continue to amaze those who come out to watch him in tha mix. Guaranteed toe tappin beats! Long live the Funk Cartel and we will continue to bring the breakbeat to the mainstream!

I'm just a small-town Canadian boy who loves music.

I started listening to electronic back in 2000 after my brother lent me some CDs for the summer from Sasha & Digweed, Moby, and Orbital. I got into the dance scene shortly after and found a strong connection to trance with DJs like Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, and Ferry Corsten, while making some incredible friendships along the way. 

My first attempts at any kind of mixing were late-night vinyl sessions with my roommate listening to some classic trance and house and eventually putting together a simple set-up on my Mac to make some mixes for my commute. I’ve always liked the idea of being able to create a sort of soundtrack to my day-to-day and admire my friends who’ve made a career out of it as they bring such a positive impact to the lives of so many. 

I’ve spent the better part of my adult life abroad - first in China and now in Italy - and music has always been something that keeps me grounded and focused.
